FS25 Monteith, IA 1X
A downloadable mod
FS25 Monteith, IA - Updated to Version 1.0.5.6 (Terrain Shader Fix)
Monteith, Iowa is the first realistic North American map for FS25 and also marks our first public release for this new version of the game. We’ve put countless hours into ensuring this map provides an authentic and immersive experience, and we can’t wait for you to explore everything it has to offer.
Monteith, originally featured in Farming Simulator 22, has been completely rebuilt and reimagined for Farming Simulator 25 by DR Modding and The Coop team, offering a true-to-life American farming experience. As the first realistic U.S. map in FS25, Monteith brings a fresh, immersive take on the iconic American Midwest landscape, combining the latest features of FS25 with an attention to detail that emphasizes realism over arcade-style gameplay.
The map showcases the true to life terrain, all meticulously recreated to reflect the unique geography and agricultural practices of Iowa. Enjoy all of the new features of FS25, while maintaining a grounded, authentic feel throughout.

BROKEN MOD- Do not waste your time or risk a game crash.
Map crashes the game for me. Figured there would be issues when I saw the pixelated screenshots and title screen. Doesn't look quality to me at all.
nothing works for me i give up
Same here.
After the update the map was crashing when loading. The solution for me was to change the line" <modDesc descVersion="100">"in the modDesc.xml file.
For the invisible ground problem I copied the TerrainShader file from the original game folder and replaced the one in the mod map folder.
how do you edit the line in the mod desc menu
did exactly that, doesnt work for me
Can you plz fix this map, I'm anxious to play on it but it won't stop crashing when trying to load it in.
the game is crashing when loading in
I am having the same issue as well
go to the old version of the game by launching the game plus holding shift
my ground is still missing
Roads are invisible. Is there a patch coming?
same here
I found out how to correct this, go to this link How to fix terrain shader issue - Twitch. The path for you game files might be in a different location if installed in a different location. Easy way to find it, is to open up steam select the game (farming simulator25) right a crossed from Play is a gear icon click on that. Then click on manage>manage local files. File explorer will open then data folder>shaders folder. Then follow video from there. The terrainShader.xml files must be partially corrupted.
since update, roads are black. Any time frame on when this will be updated? Great map
the ground across the entire map turned invisible after 1.9
yup lol
why are the roads missing in mine?
the gps on the bottom field doesn't work i plowed 2 new field on it so dont know what happend
It looks like the new patch 1.9 messed up the roads again.
Does the map work with the new default types or do we need to keep the old one?
For some reason the download for this was turned off. It should work now
hello DR, modding i am wondering why i can't buy any land it shows i have not enough money when it's at max 99999999999
DefaultTypes seems to be discontinued, any other solutions for playing your maps ?
might need to let thunder know with that
It's a month since he said he would look into it, and no reply since. So there's that.
Its been updated but now sure if this map needs the old versiin or the newest one works.
I noticed, DR modding should provide some information, but they don't seem very active on Itch so maybe look for their Discord ? I just moved on when there was no temporary solution or replies to comments here on Itch, I found other great maps :)
Yeah i hear ya. You basically said what I've been thinking. Trying not to call it out but there's reason why I don't patreon mods. Appreciate the reply.
hello i cant buy land on the updated version it says that i dont have enogh money but i have 999,999,999 $
Default Types is broken since 1.7 - any chance we can play this map without until it is fixed?
Alfalfa is not working on the map for me. It is in the field but I can’t cut it and it is not listed as a sellable crop or on the crop calendar.
Version 1.0.5.4 does not I repeat DOES NOT FIX the terrain shader issue
1.0.5.4 does NOT fix the terrain shader issue. There is 1 file that needs replacing to fix the issue. See my reply a few comments down from this with the fix. Also, custom crop schedules are still not working on this map. Hoping to see those fixed soon.
SO I have downloaded 4 other games that were out the same time as this, and they have not ANY problems like this one has, ffs
Is this going to require a new save? I'm still having problems and don't wanna lose 70hrs of play. Damn Giants lol
I am still getting the error even after downloading the latest version of the map...anyone else still having the terrain issue?
I hate the new 1.7 update. This is what i got when i loaded into Montheith.
To fix textures on 1.7, you can go in to your FS25 files, grab the textureshader, and move it to the Monteith folder and that will fix it. However, 1.7 broke the custom crop calendar. That, unfortunately, is not a "move a file" fix. They did this in 22 with texture shaders. now they did it again in 25. You should be able to google FS22 texture shader fix and it will be the same process to fix for 25.
Whats the name of the texture shader?
https://www.twitch.tv/tonymif/clip/SuperDeadLouseMrDestructoid-19F3j_v-K9GULRjN?... here's a clip showing the file to move and where to move it to.
Okay thanks for the reply
hello when I logged on its not loading the ground after i updated the game
1.7 update as broken the textures on this map now
I have been tinkering all day, trying to fix it. It seems like something to do with the multi angle terrain angles. I found a reddit thread that claimed they knew how to fix it, but now I cannot find it again.
They do like to mess stuff up for you guys making the maps, seems other have bit also, thanks for the reply
Noticed 2025-04-05 02:15 Error: Could not find motion path effect for settings (Class: 'CutterMotionPathEffect', numRows: 32, rowLength: 42, fruitType 'ALFALFA', growthState '4') when cutting alfalfa.
lots of issues. really needs an update
this map is dog shit
love the map iv logged 200+ hrs on it grass can only be harvested once. Would also like to see the open grass field on other side of river be buyable land.
Anyone else having issues with grass not regrowing on Fields 8 and 9 after harvesting? I have not tried planting alfalfa to see if it doing the same thing.
Alfalfa does the same thing. Won't regrow.
i have same problem as nfis how can i fix it please
Does anyone else have this or know how to fix this issue?
Did you download the other required mods?
i do
