Farming Simulator 25: "Highlands Fishing" brings coastal and water management to the game

What's in the DLC?

According to the official description, the expansion contains:

• A new map called Kinlaig - inspired by Scottish landscapes with green hills, rocky valleys and blue water.

• Water sector: Boats, fish farming and production on the water - an expansion compared to purely agricultural activities.

• New Crop & Animal: Onions as a crop and Highland Cattle bring a breath of fresh air to the site.

• New brands & machines: Over 20 new vehicles and equipment as well as brand debuts such as Monosem, Can-Am, Agri-Spread and GT Bunning.

• Economic depth: Production, fishing, new sources of income - and an environment that not only expands the landscape, but also the gameplay.

• Price & Platforms: Available for PC & Mac (as of update 1.13 or higher). Price according to information €26.99 (possibly with discount until release) for the download.

Why is the DLC worth it?

For all those who already know the base game and fancy a change, Highlands Fishing offers several incentives:

• Visual redesign: the Kinlaig map offers a new atmosphere - between the sea, fog, hills and old walls. This is a clear departure from the classic field game.

• Game mechanic variety: Those who previously only farmed and raised livestock can now also sail boats, breed fish and set up water production.

• Long-term motivation: New sources of income and production chains ensure that the gameplay remains interesting for longer.

• Server compatibility: Especially for multiplayer on rented servers, the expansion could be a good reason for a restart or a new scenario.

When & how?

The DLC will be released on November 4, 2025.

If you already have a server with a provider, it is worth taking a look at compatibility, update version (at least 1.13) and whether the server host supports the DLC. In multiplayer mode, all participants should have the DLC installed so that new content can be used correctly - especially the new map and fish farming mechanics.

Conclusion

With Highlands Fishing, Farming Simulator 25 gets a welcome makeover. The combination of land and water management, an atmospherically strong new map and many new machines make the DLC a strong expansion pack. Ideal for fans of the series who want to do more than just cultivate fields.
