⚠️ STATUS: Development Preview — No official release yet. Core features (vehicle financing, building financing, leasing, credit, marketplace, trade-ins) fully functional. NEW v2.10.0: First-of-its-kind building/placeable financing! Work in Progress: Malfunctions and Service Truck under active development. Try it viagit cloneor download ZIP (see Installation).
UsedPlus transforms Farming Simulator 25 into a real business simulation. Your farm runs on credit, reputation, and strategic financial decisions—just like actual farming.
The core philosophy: Give players meaningful choices with real consequences. Finance a tractor over 10 years or save up cash. Buy new or search for used. Lease seasonal equipment or own it outright. Finance buildings and infrastructure, not just vehicles. Every path has tradeoffs. Every decision shapes your farm's future.
In vanilla FS25: Money in, money out. Click buy. Equipment appears. Sell for recycled value. Repeat.
With UsedPlus:
- Finance vehicles AND buildings over 1-15 years, land over 1-20 years—but watch your credit score or rates skyrocket
- Buy used equipment from AI sellers who remember if you lowballed them last time
- Inspect before you buy—is it a reliable workhorse or a lemon waiting to break?
- Negotiate deals when weather tanks prices, or overpay when you're desperate
- Build equity in financed buildings, manage lease terms, secure cash loans with collateral
Your financial decisions compound. Miss payments, lose equipment. Build credit, unlock better rates. Burn a seller relationship, lose access to their inventory. The economy remembers.
 Credit Scoring 300-850 FICO-style score gates rates and terms |
 Vehicle Financing 1-15 year terms, credit-based rates |
 Used Marketplace Agent-based buying & selling |
 Price Negotiation Weather affects outcomes, lowball = permanent walk-away |
 Vehicle DNA Lemons, workhorses, legendaries - every vehicle unique |
 Trade-Ins 50-65% instant value for convenience |
|
Building Financing Finance sheds, silos, and placeables - credit-based rates |
 Cash Loans Borrow against collateral for expansion capital |
 Vehicle Leasing Seasonal equipment access without ownership |
 OBD Scanner Field diagnostics, one-time use per system |
 Service Truck Restore reliability ceiling - must be discovered |
 Malfunctions 15+ failure types from neglected maintenance |
| System | Affects |
|---|---|
| Credit Score | Interest rates, loan terms, lease eligibility, trade-in values |
| Vehicle DNA | Long-term reliability, seller personality, repair outcomes, RVB integration |
| Payment History | Credit score (+5 per payment, -25 per miss), repossession risk |
| Weather | Negotiation success (Hail +12%, Storm +8%, Rain +5%) |
| Maintenance | 15+ specific malfunctions, runaway engines, system failures |
Ever find yourself making up backstories for your equipment? With UsedPlus, you don't have to imagine - the stories emerge naturally:
"That old Fendt? 80,000 hours and still runs like new. I'll never sell her."
"Got a 'great deal' from a desperate seller. Now I know why he was desperate."
"Waited for a thunderstorm to close the deal. Saved me $40,000."
"The mechanic warned me. Said something about burning sage. I should have listened."
Every vehicle has hidden DNA. Some become legends. Some become money pits. The mechanic gives you hints, the seller's behavior tells a story, and over hundreds of hours, you'll develop genuine attachment to the machines that earn it.
UsedPlus deeply integrates with these mods to create a unified experience:
Integration Level: DEEP — UsedPlus and RVB coordinate to create a layered failure system.
| What RVB Does | How UsedPlus Enhances |
|---|---|
| Hard failures (parts break completely) | Symptoms first (misfires, overheating) before RVB hard failure |
| Part-based tracking (starter, generator, etc.) | DNA affects RVB part lifetimes (0.6x-1.4x multiplier) |
| Visual damage | OBD Scanner shows both UsedPlus + RVB health in one view |
| Repair workshops | Partial repair option coordinates with RVB part states |
Why Use Both: RVB provides the mechanical depth, UsedPlus provides the economic consequences. Lemons break RVB parts faster. Workhorses extend RVB part life. The OBD Scanner becomes your essential tool showing both systems together.
Integration Level: DEEP — Tire wear, quality, and DNA create emergent long-term strategy.
| What UYT Does | How UsedPlus Enhances |
|---|---|
| Tire wear % per wheel (distance based) | DNA affects wear rate (lemons 1.4x, workhorses 0.6x) |
| Visual deterioration | Quality tier affects UYT wear (Quality tires wear 33% slower) |
| Per-wheel tracking (FL, FR, RL, RR) | Flat tire probability scales with UYT wear % |
| Replacement based on wear | OBD Scanner displays UYT wear with color-coded warnings |
Why Use Both: Quality tires on a workhorse = 2,500 hour lifespan. Retread tires on a lemon = 350 hours. The math changes your purchasing decisions. Used vehicles come with realistic tire wear. The OBD Scanner shows you exactly which tires need replacement.
💡 Tip: Both RVB and UYT are optional but highly recommended. UsedPlus works standalone, but the combination creates the most immersive economic simulation.

UsedPlus plays nice with these financial and marketplace mods through feature deferral:
| Mod | How It Works Together |
|---|---|
| 💰 EnhancedLoanSystem | ELS handles general cash loans, UsedPlus handles purchase financing. Finance Manager shows both. |
| 📋 HirePurchasing | HP handles its financing system, UsedPlus hides duplicate buttons. Finance Manager shows HP + UsedPlus leases together. |
| 🛒 BuyUsedEquipment | BUE handles used marketplace, UsedPlus defers (hides Search button). Use BUE to find, UsedPlus to finance/maintain. |
Integration Strategy: When UsedPlus detects these mods, it automatically hides overlapping features to prevent conflicts. You get the best of both worlds - use each mod for what it does best.
💡 Tip: Load order doesn't matter. UsedPlus detects these mods at runtime and adjusts behavior automatically.

Quick Settings:
- Override Shop Buy/Lease (disable if conflicts)
- Enable/disable individual features (financing, leasing, etc.)
- Malfunction frequency (25% - 200%)
- Paint/repair cost multipliers
Difficulty Presets:
- Easy: Lower rates, reduced costs, fewer malfunctions
- Challenging: Normal rates, normal costs, more malfunctions
- Hardcore: Higher rates, increased costs, frequent malfunctions
Why doesn't "Search Used" appear?
Only available for items worth $10,000+. Small tools use standard shop.
Why can't I select a 15-year term?
Long terms require good credit. 15 years needs 700+ credit score.
Why won't the seller negotiate?
Sellers with great equipment (workhorses) are "immovable" - they know what they have.
I offered 70% and the seller walked away permanently. What happened?
Offers >20% below threshold trigger permanent walk-away. That listing is gone forever.
How do I know if a vehicle is a lemon?
Get a mechanic inspection. Listen for phrases like "burn some sage" or "gremlins."
UsedPlus provides a public API for integration:
if UsedPlusAPI and UsedPlusAPI.isReady() then
local score = UsedPlusAPI.getCreditScore(farmId) -- 300-850
local dna = UsedPlusAPI.getVehicleDNA(vehicle) -- 0.0-1.0
local canFinance = UsedPlusAPI.canFinance(farmId, "VEHICLE_FINANCE")
endRegister external loans to build player credit:
local externalId = UsedPlusAPI.registerExternalDeal("MyMod", loanId, farmId, {
dealType = "loan",
originalAmount = 50000,
monthlyPayment = 2500,
})
UsedPlusAPI.reportExternalPayment(externalId, 2500) -- Builds credit!| Role | Contributor |
