Agri Life Manager BETA 3 v1.0

AgriLife Manager transforms Farming Simulator 25 into a more structured farming career, with progression rules, professional banking management, a farming license, qualifications, employees, and financial tracking that evolve according to the selected difficulty level. This version is a public beta. The description below only covers features that are actually included in the validated scope of this release. Getting Started and Difficulty Levels AgriLife Manager currently offers three levels: Easy Normal Hard The selected level affects starting requirements, banking, the license, financial constraints, and the overall difficulty of the career. The AgriLife tutorial starts once the player has actually entered the map, not during character creation. New Game On a new career, AgriLife initializes its own starting progression. Depending on the difficulty, the player must complete steps related to the bank, advisor, professional structure, and farming license. The farming license may require a complete practical exam. Vehicles reserved for the exam remain usable during the test. Adding to an Existing Savegame AgriLife Manager can also be added to an FS25 game that has already been started. On first activation: the existing savegame is detected automatically; existing cash and assets are preserved; a specific career continuation tutorial is displayed; the player chooses the elements required for their new AgriLife career; the general farming license is recognized as equivalent, without an exam or fees; no specialized training or qualification is granted for free; AgriLife monthly cycles are initialized to start normally from the next cycle, without artificially catching up on the month already in progress. Creating a backup copy is still recommended before activating the mod for the first time. Professional Banking and Advisor The AgriLife career includes dedicated banking management: bank selection; advisor selection; banking agreement; business cash flow; loan applications; monthly repayments and commitments; banking fees; financial capacity; advisor feedback based on the farm’s situation. Loans are stored in the savegame and remain after reloading. License, Career and Qualifications The player has a complete professional profile including: farming license; practical exam; career XP; specializations; qualifications; progression based on actions actually performed; access restrictions for certain vehicles when a required qualification is missing. Simply navigating through menus does not generate XP. Business and Employees The Business module allows you to track and manage staff: recruitment; employment contracts; salaries; employee records; skills and specializations; training; career development; staff scheduling; monthly payroll; recommended payroll with a visual indicator based on the farm’s financial situation. The schedule allows an employee to be assigned to planned work, the relevant vehicle, tools, and field. Saving and Resuming a Career Profiles, licenses, qualifications, employees, loans, and the main AgriLife states are saved with the career and restored when reloading. Starting a new game and adding the mod to an existing savegame have been handled as two separate scenarios. Tutorial and Help A tutorial guides the first launch, and an AgriLife section is integrated into ESC > Help. The current content is consistent with this beta. A complete revision of the tutorial and Help texts is planned before the final 1.0.0.0 release. Features Still in Development Several advanced systems are already present in the project but are not part of the certified scope of this beta. They will continue to be developed and tested before being presented as finalized: Advanced Administration; Advanced Contracts & Markets; Advanced Workshop; advanced insurance and accidents; advanced used equipment market; advanced leasing; advanced legal and administrative procedures.
