Farming Simulator 2 is a realistic farming sim where you play a young farmer on a freely explorable island over 4 km², managing fields, machinery, and finances to grow your farm. Start with basic equipment and expand your fleet—tractors, combines, ploughs, seeders, balers—performing tasks like plowing, seeding, baling, and harvesting to earn money for upgrades.

The game adds an improved career mode, a day/night cycle with dynamic weather, tutorials and missions, computer‑controlled helper vehicles, and expanded mod support for easily adding community vehicles and tools.
