FS25 Vehicle Years V1.0

This adds realstic vehicle years to all vehicles including attachments.
The years provided for each vehicles has been manually added with best effort, but there are sure to be missing or wrong years for some vehicles and attachments. Similarly not all vehicles have yet been assigned a year, and as new mods will be added, they will also be missing it, until this mod and its data is updated.

If you want to add a year to your own mod without waiting for this mod to add it, or if you want to correct the year on your mod without modifying the data of this mod, you can always add the year yourself, simply by adding the “storeItem.specs.year” value yourself, as this mod only adds it if it is missing. See for a short guide on how to.

Adding years to your own mod
This is a short guide on how to add years to your own mods.
Simply add a <year> entry in your mod’s XML file under <storeData>. Your mod’s XML should contain something like

Check out my other mod, Through the Years, which uses the years from this to change how you progress over time in the game.

<vehicle>
<storeData>
<year>1999</year>
</storeData>
</vehicle>

After this, the Vehicle Years mod should automatically read your mods provided year, instead of reading the year provided by this mod.

Please report or correct any incorrect or missing years to the project on Gitlab: Here you will also find guides on how to add your own years to your mods, as well as downloadable bundles of mods (meta-mods) such as the 1970s, 1980s, etc. Unfortunately GIANTS Software did not allow these meta-mods to be uploaded to Modhub.

Thank you for sharing this valuable information about the Vehicle Years V1.0 mod for Farming Simulator 25. It's great to see the effort put into adding realistic vehicle years to all vehicles and attachments in the game.

The option to manually add or correct years for vehicles in mods is a helpful feature for players who want to ensure accuracy in their game. The guide you provided on how to add years to your own mods by including a <year> entry in the XML file under <storeData> is clear and should be easy to follow for modders.

The mention of the "Through the Years" mod, which changes progression over time in the game based on vehicle years, sounds like a fascinating addition for players looking for a more immersive experience.

Encouraging players to report or correct any incorrect or missing years to the project on Gitlab is a good way to ensure continuous improvement and accuracy in the mod. The availability of downloadable bundles of mods for different decades is a nice touch for those interested in specific eras of vehicles.

Overall, this mod seems to provide a comprehensive solution for incorporating realistic vehicle years into the game and offers flexibility for players and modders alike. Thank you for highlighting these features and the additional resources available for the community.
