How to fix DFMEP Bale Barns on Autumn Oaks

This is by far the most common complaint about the map, whether you had a mod conflict, or didn’t start your savegame with the mod, you’ve probably been frustrated when your barns won’t autoload bales. Editing a savegame sounds really complicated, but it’s really not, I’ll show you how to fix your autoload barns in seven steps.

Step 1. Locate your savegame folder, in most cases it’s in Documents/My Games/Farming Simulator 19 and then there will be about 20 folders with each of your savegame numbers, find yours.

Step 2. Locate your items.xml, this file is where your savegame saves all of your placeable, pallet, and bale data.

Step 3. Confirm that your bale barns are missing, use CTRL + F to run a search for bale_barn

Step 4. Scroll to the bottom, and go up one line from </items>, and press Enter to put a new line between the last line, and the one above it. Take note of the id=”number” of the last line, you’ll need it.

Step 5. Paste the code from the code block below into that gap, change the id=”number” of each to be one above the last one, so if your last one was 999, your next one will be 1000, and then 1001, and so on.

Step 6. For every barn that you owned, you need to change farmId=”15″ to farmId=”1″ if you are in singleplayer, if you are in multiplayer, you’ll need to reference your farms.xml to know which farm is which number.

Step 7. Save, load up the game, don’t forget to check the DFMEP Bale Barns mod. You should be good to go after that.
