What players say
This game still holds up in 2026. I'd love to try FS25 but I'm having so much fun with this version that I'm in no hurry. You could pick up this game on a sale for less than $5. There was a fix that I had to use to fix a common problem that kept the game from loading and I'll include it below. Once the game loads you'll have countless hours of work ahead of you. the graphics are pretty good for a game from 2017 and...
1 more review, not recommended
I would reccomend to buy the newer versions that release every second year (Ex: FS 2021, FS 2023, FS 2025), the older versions just don't have a reason to buy them, unless your collecting them on your steam account. Personally in this one the graphics are very outdated (I'm saying this in 2026). One of the things that are nicer about this version is that it's simplified compared to the newer versions in my opinion.
