Farming Simulator Parental Controls & Safety Settings

Why These Settings Matter in 2025

Farming Simulator remains a family-friendly gaming series, especially with the standalone Farming Simulator Kids edition. However, as 2025’s gameplay becomes more social and mod-driven, particularly in Farming Simulator 25, parents must be proactive. Without proper controls, children may encounter inappropriate modifications, unsupervised multiplayer interactions, or spending opportunities. Implementing these settings ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for players of all ages.

How to Configure Farming Simulator Safety Settings

1. Enforce Age-Appropriate Ratings

• Farming Simulator 25 is rated E for Everyone by ESRB. But this game includes In-Game Purchases and player interaction options.
• To ensure proper access only:
  • On PlayStation: Go to Settings → Parental Controls → Restrict Game* and set age accordingly.
  • On Xbox: Go to Settings → Account → Family Options → Content Restrictions and set ESRB accordingly.

 

2. Control Mod Access on Consoles

• Mods can enhance the game but introduce risk. Xbox and PlayStation restrict mod hub access by age profile unless you adjust permissions.
• To enable safely:
  • On Xbox: Adjust your child’s profile under Privacy & Safety to allow mod content from verified sources.
  • On PlayStation: Temporarily enable mod access, download desired mods, then re-block unless consistently supervised.

 

3. Use Farming Simulator Kids Edition

• This version offers built-in parental controls and child-friendly visuals and gameplay. It restricts content automatically, making it ideal for younger players.
• It allows farming, trading, and basic machinery, without exposure to mods or complex user interactions.

 

4. Manage Multiplayer & Chat Settings

• In Farming Simulator 25, it’s important to adjust in-game chat and friend settings via the platform-level controls:
  • Disable voice/text chat unless you consent to peer interaction.
  • On consoles, set the child’s communication preference to Friends Only or Nobody.

 

5. Use Device-Level Parental Controls

• Regardless of platform, you need to ensure playtimes are monitored and healthy:
  • Set time limits via Xbox Family Settings, PlayStation Family Management, or Steam Family View.
  • Implement screen-time breaks per game guidelines (e.g., take a 15-minute break every hour).

 

6. Follow Health & Screen Time Guidelines

• Farming Simulator often suggests regular breaks and well-lit play conditions to reduce eye strain or motion issues. Set reminders as needed.

 

 

Why These Settings Must Be Enabled

Even though Farming Simulator is rated E for Everyone, modern versions include community features, modifications, and purchase options that could expose children to inappropriate content or spending without oversight. By managing age ratings, mod access, multiplayer chat, and enforcing screen-time breaks, parents can maintain a safe, engaging, and educational experience. Moreover, the children-focused Farming Simulator Kids edition offers a simplified, carefree play experience for younger users.
