Realism through Simulation
Perhaps I’m crazy…perhaps I’m just too easily entertained. Perhaps both…. Of all the cool features I’ve read about, watched on YouTube…the feature I’m actually looking forward to is the tip anything feature in Farming Simulator 17. Yes, I know with a mod we have placeable heaps. But just as it sounds, it’s just a heap. Check out this latest video from Giants and tell me this doesn’t excite you to the core.
Until next time…
Happy Farming!!!

It’s Monday! We’re just a smidge over one week before the release of Farming Simulator 17.
A farm (even a virtual farm) is not a farm without cows. We’ve worked hard to bring all the important elements together to start our dairy operation. This has included collecting straw, mowing/collecting grass, producing silage and of course mixing all that together to create that magic TMR.
I hope you enjoy episode ten and will return once again tomorrow for episode eleven. Please leave a like and even consider subscribing to the Grizzly Bear Sims YouTube channel. I appreciate it.
Thanks for watching!
Until next time…
Moooooo

TGIF! Less than TWO weeks to go until Farming Simulator 17 releases. Can you believe it? I’m getting more and more excited. How about you?
Today I’m bringing you episode nine of my Farming Simulator 15 series on the awesome Paradise Hills map by Stevie. Even if you have plans to ditch FS15 on the day FS17 releases, you should still consider downloading and experiencing Paradise Hills for yourself. You can find the latest version of Stevie’s Paradise Hills on PC-SG. Not a member of PC-SG? You should correct this oversight today! The PC-SG community is growing and we welcome you to join us, sit back and enjoy the conversation.
Yes…today is Friday and I have the ninth episode of my Paradise Hills series to present to you. In this edition, we start off planting some barley and eventually do a little mowing. I hope you enjoy this video. If you do, I would appreciate you taking just a few seconds of your time to “Like” it and also please consider clicking the Subscribe button as well. I really appreciate it.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I’ll return on Monday with episode 10.
Until then…
Happy Farming!!!

Have I said how much I’m enjoying making these videos? Yea…I think I have. Sorry about repeating myself….but this is a fun extension to the game/hobby itself. Episode eight of my farming adventures on Paradise Hills starts off with our daily field tasks of spraying and wraps up with beginning the process of getting our greenhouses setup.

I realize for the past week or so, just about all my content I’ve published via this blog has to do with my “Let’s Play” series on Paradise Hills. I’m truly having so much fun recording my game play from this map and making it available via my YouTube channel. This is something I plan to continue on a regular basis with the launch of Farming Simulator 17 less than two weeks away. But I also have a long list of FS15 mods that I also want to share and I plan to continue showcasing FS15 mods even after the release of FS17. At least for a short period of time.
The mod I want to showcase today is the Trailer Sounds mod. This mod is pretty much exactly as it sounds, when pulling a trailer you’ll hear the typical noise you could expect. I’m talking about the creaks, pops, bangs and clangs. This mod might not be for everyone, but since adding it…I do enjoy it. It matches up well with the newly added “brake sounds” tweak which is easily done if you use the Drive Control Mod. You can learn more about the brake sounds tweak by joining the PC-SG Simulation Gaming group and viewing this post.
If you are interested in adding some creaks, pops, bangs and clangs (along with tire sounds) then continue reading.
The Trailer Sounds Mod is available here. I have personally downloaded, installed and tested this mod. The mod works and I use it on all my maps.
Please see my blog post “How to Install Mods in Farming Simulator 15” for complete instructions.
Until next time…
Happy Farming!!!

Hello virtual farmers! It’s Wednesday and we are LESS than two weeks away from the release of Farming Simulator 17. Can you dig it? Once again I bring to you a new episode of my farming adventures on the wonderful Paradise Hills map for Farming Simulator 15. This map is simply amazing and I’m hopeful we might just see it made available for FS17. Please Stevie……
In this episode, we start a brand new farming day (Thursday, Day 4). We perform all our field chores on fields 1 and 2 (spraying) and we begin planting canola down on the southeast fields. I hope you enjoy my videos. If you have questions, suggestions…..please leave a comment either here on my blog site or via YouTube.
Thank you for watching.
Until next time…
Happy Farming!!!

Happy Tuesday to all! I’m really not a statistics driven individual and I certainly don’t put myself out there through this blog site or my semi-new YouTube Channel in an effort just to accumulate readers, subscribers, viewers, likes etc. However, as was the case with this blog site over six years ago, “If you build it, they will come” and the same seems to have applied to my YouTube channel. Since starting the Paradise Hills series last week, my subscriber numbers have doubled and it’s really been exciting watching the count inch closer and closer to the 50 mark. Just like so many of my fellow YouTube virtual farmers, the “Likes” and “Subscriptions” really do help keep us motivated and tells us you enjoy what you are seeing and want to see more. Well….more is coming!
Our sixth installment of Paradise Hills will find us planting corn on our newly purchased field number 2. As episode six is releasing today, I’m currently recording content for what will become episode thirteen and I’ve learned so much between episode six and episode thirteen. I’d really like to thank Mike (Reefy1952) for his assistance, guidance and especially his mentoring in helping me become a better virtual farmer. I highly encourage you to check out Mike’s YouTube channel and go ahead and click that “Subscribe” button as his content and commentary is both educational, but also entertaining. Thank you Mike for your help and friendship!
Enough of my babble…here’s Paradise Hills, episode six….
Until tomorrow….
Happy Farming!!!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. We are now officially just two weekends away from the release of the much anticipated Farming Simulator 17. I know everyone is counting the days (and perhaps hours) but for now, FS15 is doing the job. Episode five of my “Let’s Play” of Paradise Hills finds us just after selling off all our Silage at the BGA and we spend some money….
Enjoy the video. If you haven’t done so, please consider subscribing to the GrizzlyBearSims YouTube Channel and also please consider leaving a “Like” or “Thumbs Up” for the video. It’s very much appreciated and serves as motivation to keep going.
See you tomorrow with episode six.
Jerry
Happy Friday! Guess What? Only three more weekends until the release of FS17! Are you excited? I’ll admit…I am!
I’m pleased to bring you the fourth episode of Paradise Hills. Episode four begins the use of the Soilmod and we begin the process of prepping field one and planting wheat. Unfortunately, a chunk of video is missing as I had a failure with OBS. But I do my best in making up for that and still covering much of the details around the Soilmod to get us started. I’ve also sold off much of the starting equipment and repurchasing equipment I truly want to use.
If you are slightly behind on my episodes, don’t worry…I don’t plan to release episode 5 until Monday. Have a great weekend!
Until next time…
Happy Farming!!!

In the third installment, we finish up the harvest of the three pre-planted fields on the Paradise Hills map by Stevie. We also start the seed making process. This map is available from the PC-SG Simulation Gaming Group. If you are not already a member, please consider joining this growing group of simulation game enthusiasts. You’ll find active discussions on many of the popular simulation game platforms including farming, trucking and more. In addition to helpful discussion, PC-SG also offers mod reviews and mod downloads from some of the most talented modders including Johnny Vee, SOB Modding and of course Stevie. Again, in this “Let’s Play” series for Paradise Hills, I finish up harvesting the three pre-planted fields just before installing the Soilmod for FS15. Starting with episode 4, the soilmod will be active and will be used throughout this series.
Finally, just a quick note regarding the frequency of videos I’m currently releasing. At some point in the near future, I will settle into a less frequent release schedule. I just don’t have the time to commit to a video each day and I also don’t really want to spend all day on a Saturday or Sunday playing/recording content for episodes. Having said that, each day that passes we are one day closer to the release of FS17 and most likely that will consume much of my gaming time (at least for a week or so). At this point I’m not sure how much play time FS15 will receive once FS17 drops. Time will tell…
Anyway, thanks for watching and thank you for subscribing. The GrizzlyBearSims YouTube channel already has over 40 subscribers, so we are well on the way to the magic number of 50.
Until next time…
Happy Farming!!!
Jerry
