In career mode, the player takes on the role of a farmer. His task is to expand his 'dated' farm and machinery. The main goal of the player is to harvest his crops and sell them in order to expand his farming enterprise (e.g. machines, fields, animals and buildings). The player is free to explore, grow from their choice of several crops, and invest his money in additional fields and equipment. Livestock may be purchased, and then it is up to the player to care for the animals.

Missions[edit]

There are dynamically generated missions which consist of the player performing various tasks within a time frame such as mowing grass or delivering cargo. If the player successfully completes the task, he is rewarded with a sum of money, plus a bonus based on how quickly the task was completed.

Current generation consoles have multiplayer (Farming Simulator on the last generation consoles was the first console port of the game, with all features of 2013 Titanium). Farming Simulator 15 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One also has a multiplayer mode.

Game Review

SimFarm is a spin-off of SimCity, developed and published by Maxis Software it was released in 1993 for DOS. It was ported to other platforms in the subsequent years. Instead of a city you are tasked with building and managing your own farm.

The player chooses a region that mimics different areas of the United States or you can determine your own climate. The game also has a changing weather system that simulates different conditions like rain, droughts, tornados, and more. Starting out you must build up your land, place your structures (barns, silos, etc.), plant some crops, and purchase animals. You must also acquire farming equipment to help with harvesting and general farm maintenance. Certain crops only grow in certain climates so there is a strategy to what to plant. You also need to keep an eye on your pesky livestock as they will try to make a break for it. If you build the recreation area you can participate in rodeos and enter your livestock into fairs. Much like SimCity, Sim Farm is such that it could appeal to any gamer. One thing to keep in mind is that the game has a relatively slow pace, so don’t expect a lot of action.

This game could be looked at as the ancestor of games like Farmville or Hay Day, except more involved. Though not one of the more successful Sims spin-offs, it was praised for its graphics and realistic simulation. Though slow-paced it’s still fun and not a bad way to spend a few hours.
