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.
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….
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.
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!
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.
I’m really having fun recording my Farming Simulator 15 game play and making it available to whomever would like to watch. Likewise, I’m also learning a lot as well. First, I realize my voice audio is low. I will correct this, but unfortunately because I’ve recorded several episodes the adjustment won’t be noticed until around episode five. I’ve made an additional adjustment for episode seven which should make a more noticeable difference. This is really the first time I’ve committed to record my game sessions in this fashion. In doing so, I’ve also realized this isn’t easy.
If you watch other gamers who either stream or record their game play, you might think “How hard can this be”? While the setup and the actual process of capturing the video game play isn’t rocket science, remembering you are actually recording a video and keeping the conversation lively is altogether different. But then again, sometimes keeping our mouth shut for a short period of time is also a good thing. Anyway….
In episode two, I harvest the corn crop which is on field 2 into chaff to transport to the BGA. At this stage we are still playing without soilmod. Just taking our time getting the three different fields which were pre-planted harvested and then soilmod will start in episode four.
