Chilliwack 4X Map
A downloadable mod
This is my first attempt at making a mod for Farming Simulator 22.
I started playing when FS22 was released, and haven't looked back since. Seeing what people have created and what the modding community has offered so far, I wanted to take a stab at learning GE, and eventually down the road, Blender.
IRL farming in this area does not have the majority of the base games crops. Primary farming in this area is Cows, Silage, Corn and Grass. But I have left everything base game in there as it can be boring only doing those on a large map.
I cannot take any credit for anything custom. I will do my best to point you to all the custom links.
Relight by Suchsneak has been built into the map files
Custom crops (Wheat, Barley, Oat and Canola) by Serious Mods
Corn Textures by AWModding
Realistic Rolling Texture by Perma's Modding
Clover and Alfalfa from Stone Valley by Lancyboi
Silage Corn (MaizePlus Dependant) (Thanks to the assist from Lazy E Modding). This is MaizePlus dependant. But will not break the game if you don't use MaizePlus. Just don't try to harvest/plant, and just plow the land if you buy it from an NPC that planted if you don't use MaizePlus. Added for a bit more of a realistic feel.
Co-Op Buying area. Buy all your Seeds, Fertilizer, Lime and Herbicide
The majority of the buildings on the map are from the base game maps and can be destroyed/sold to clear off and make your own.
Working train system, selling your items to Alberta!
Have modified the base game Sheep, Pig, Cow, and Chicken pens with large pastures, and made them compatible with Grazing.
I have not made any farms as there are way too many placeable mods and packs out there that I feel this would be a great map for a build your own farm. As well as a multiplayer farm build off! Very much a create your own theme here.
This is my first mod and map ever for FS22. No huge custom buildings or anything out of Blender. That may come in time, but for now I just wanted to try this out and make a map for myself to enjoy a bit of time on.
Updates might happen, but honestly this was a lot, and with the new platinum edition stuff that just came out, it might be a while before I start to go back into GE and play around. Will be playing in game for a while!
** Dec 4 - WOW! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to download and review this! It really means a lot seeing some of the content creators and modders that I follow and watch regularly putting time into the map. Well beyond anything I would have expected!
- I have seen some comments that there are issues landscaping/texturing. This could be caused by the waterplane that is on the bottom right 1/4 of the map. I use Paint and Terraform Anywhere mod. It works great!

Hey Chumpy I am having an issue I dont exactly know how to fix. Everytime i upload the mod to my server it crashes with the following code
2024-07-18 16:27 Error: Missing dds file 'D:/home/sid_1534898/farmingSim_2022/profile/mods/FS22_Chilliwack_BC/maps/imported/FS22_cargoContainers_prefab/textures/ChinaShipping_normal.dds' 2024-07-18 16:27 Error: Can't load resource 'D:/home/sid_1534898/farmingSim_2022/profile/mods/FS22_Chilliwack_BC/maps/imported/FS22_cargoContainers_prefab/textures/ChinaShipping_normal.dds'. 2024-07-18 16:27 Error: Missing dds file 'D:/home/sid_1534898/farmingSim_2022/profile/mods/FS22_Chilliwack_BC/maps/GOOGLE_SAT_WM.dds' 2024-07-18 16:27 Error: Can't load resource 'D:/home/sid_1534898/farmingSim_2022/profile/mods/FS22_Chilliwack_BC/maps/GOOGLE_SAT_WM.dds'. 2024-07-18 16:27 Error: Missing dds file 'D:/home/sid_1534898/farmingSim_2022/profile/mods/FS22_Chilliwack_BC/maps/foliage/trees/pagodaDogwood_diffuse.dds' 2024-07-18 16:27 Error: Can't load resource 'D:/home/sid_1534898/farmingSim_2022/profile/mods/FS22_Chilliwack_BC/maps/foliage/trees/pagodaDogwood_diffuse.png'. 2024-07-18 16:27 Error: Missing dds file 'D:/home/sid_1534898/farmingSim_2022/profile/mods/FS22_Chilliwack_BC/maps/foliage/trees/pagodaDogwood_mask.dds' 2024-07-18 16:27 Error: Can't load resource 'D:/home/sid_1534898/farmingSim_2022/profile/mods/FS22_Chilliwack_BC/maps/foliage/trees/pagodaDogwood_mask.png'.
Any thoughts that could help?? I would love to use the map as its one of the best ive seen produced! Thanks in advance
My Fertilizer-Contract on field 106 can't complete - stuck at 99% ..after I have fertilized the hole field multible times and all the area surrounding the field!
A horisontal strip in the 'Upper Right Corner' of Field 106 ..will not receive any Fertilizer - tried both solid and liquid fertilizer
I'd love to see extra crops added... Like millet, rye, tritcale, spelt, flax, lentils, and peas....
Hey there, love your map! I'm from Ontario so I love to see Canadian representations :) I had a quick question regarding the train, I havent used one in game yet. I was wondering if there's a way to buy Lime from Alberta? it mentions when looking at where to buy from that its buyable from Alberta but when I drive a train to the edge it just goes to Alberta without a prompt to buy anything. I assume there would be a prompt to sell, if I was trying to sell, but Alberta is THE ONLY place to get Lime without placing my own silo or production. was hoping to play with what YOU put down :)
when I attempt to create a save game on this map the entire game crashes at around 65% loaded.please help
anyone else having issues with the train? I used it twice to transport goods, on the third call it wouldn't let me enter it and said it was broken and needed to be reset. I tried to reset it using the map but didn't get the option so I returned it from rental and now its gone. it no longer comes through the map and when called I no longer get a distance showing how far it is.
Hi great map, but with a problem
the harvest jobs, dosent have enough to finish the job.
is it possible to add the deco "grass" to the construction menu, so it can be use to clean up around new buildings?
Really nice map by the way!
I have added alfalfa windrow and clover windrow to the cows and alfalfa clover and the windrows to the sheep.
Thats great! I know that I was intending on doing that for non maizeplus users at the beginning, but I fell away from that. Maybe Ill look at that in a future mod. But I probably wont make that change to Chilliwack! Thanks for the comment!
Any hint to alfalfa planting? Mine does not seem to grow. It is on first stage forever.
You will want to mulch it. This will get it back to stage 2 and will then continue to grow.
Thanks for the reply, but it does not get to the germinated stage, it simply wont grow. Cant do anything to it.
This should now work as intended.
Sorry but i figured out the "problem". I needed to plant it at almost the end of the planting season for it to grow next year. All good.
Sounds good. I hope that by cleaning things up the xmls this problem is avoided for future users anyways. At least that is the plan... lol
Great job on the map man. I live about 30 minutes from here. Feels just like home :)
Hello from Whatcom County just to the south! Looking forward to trying this map out, any plans to add raspberry farming?
Hey! Not at this time. custom fruits would be something I would like to learn how to do. but will most likely be after I take some time in Blender. I would like to get blueberries some time as that is a big production up in the area. Hope you enjoy the map!
Hiya love the map I nearly always prefer 4x and play them as a contractor to build my money.
The issue I have is with the harvest contracts field 14 only completes to 87 %, when harvested it shows 67%. Field 154? only delivers 94% and does not complete shows 64%. I had a few problems with wheat harvest but they could be completed by buying wheat as the fields showed 80% when finished harvesting.
Hey, Thanks for the comment! I have not been able to find out why there are short yields on fields. I think I have been able to fully fill only a handful of contracts. the ones that are short I just use Dev Tools to fill in the rest. I know that a couple of the larger fields are combined with a small road and can be deceiving.
Incredible map, thank you so much mate!
One minor bug I've noticed, floating snowmen at field 147 houses lol they way up high!
Thanks for the comment dude! Ya, I didnt check out any of the hidden props that were in some of the base game models. Hope they dont impact your play too much!
I grew up in the area as as kid. I love playing this map. I play of Farmers Only Club, and sponsored this map on one for the servers. You nailed this map.
Appreciate it! Thank you and hope you are enjoying the map!
Love the map, but a few trees need to be removed, the train has only 4 cars not 5, and one cannot remove and replace Dairy farms as yet (buy/sell to acceptable lvl). There also some killer trees but this maybe more of a mod conflict.... will check on fresh install later this week. I have about 100 hrs on map between two games...
So I probably have a mod conflict somewhere, but by chance has anyone else had crashing and extreme lag happen? i was harvesting soybeans in field 101 and my combine teleported off the map and my game lagged to 3 fps! I absolutely love this map! I'm hoping its something i did lol
Hey Nic, I tried to replicate this issue. I wanted to find the portal. but unfortunately, the cake was still a lie! :(
Hey Chumpy the map is great love all animals barn. I was wondering If you can seperate the cow barns into there own mod as a pack. so we can use them in other maps.
Thanks man! Ill take a look and see what I can do! The only difference from base game is the pasture areas. Should be easy (I hope....)
thank you
that what is great about your cow barns are the pastures, i love them
Great map, but I'm having issues with it crashing to desktop when cutting trees and losing the saved game when that happens. Log doesn't seem to be pointing at anything in particular
Sorry to hear this, do you know which tree or trees? Where are you cutting when the game crashes?
No worries, these things happen with new maps. I'm in the area near the spawn point. Thinning the trees around the farm. It's the smaller elm's I believe.
Hey, could you please send a link of the exact map location on Google Maps please. Would like to see how it looks irl
Try this, should get you to the starting spot.

For a first mod ever, you are killing it. I have found a few issues and will send in a message. When you have the likes of Farmer Klein and Argsy Gaming using it for their multi-play means a lot. There are so many creators streaming it and loving it as I do. I have been to that area so many times over the years and I can find my away around easily. Keep up the awesome job!!!! #FarmSimLove #FarmSimFamily
Thank you! Was definitely pleased when I saw their videos!
I am on discord as well as here if you want to shoot me the issues you found.
What is the discord link? Cannot seem to find it in here Thanks Keith
I love the look of this map and looking forward to spending a lot of time on it. I am however having issues changing out animal pens or adding trees, it states there are too many. is there a way to correct this? Thanks in advance
I would recommend two mods that are found on modhub. More Trees - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=en&country=us&mod_id=228901&title...
and More Animals - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=en&country=us&mod_id=227945&title...
Hope that helps!
I will give it a shot.....tyvm
Just about to start soon on making an AutoDrive route for this map :)

I started one too, using tips I've learned from you all...yours will undoubtedly be better!
Hi! Any news on this?:) I would love to see that
Hi, Beautiful map , I notied some the fields don't have Nitrogen at all. Does anyone have same problem??
Thank you for the input. I have not been able to find this issue on my end. Both with precision farming and without, lime and fertilizer are able to be applied and updated on the map. Have you tried buying the soil samples?
I noticed an issue with the fields that you start with on new farmer, it shows on the map that nitrogen is good but display when walking over the field shows “nitrogen not valid” or “nitrogen layer not found” or something like that.
Without Precision Farming, Fert = 0%, and with Precision Farming, "No Data Found" without the soil information. But once you buy the soil information, then data is populated. So, I cannot replicate this issue again. Possibly a mod conflict? Or try scanning the soil/buying the soil information. Thanks!
followed the other guy and removed Collins Customs precision farming and replaced with giants version and it took care of the issue, forgot I was even using it until I read the other comment! Thanks for the reply though!!
Hey Chumpy, Congratulations on the map release! It looks amazing. By coincidence, I have been working on a map only a few kms from where yours is... around Agassiz. I have been working on it for almost a year and it still has more than 6 months to go . Are you a Fraser Valley farmer? Congrats again, I literally know how much work you have done, making a map is a massive feat.
Thank you!
I am not a farmer, never been involved in it. I'm just a gamer who got addicted to Farming Simulator :) It has however brought my kids and I a new found interest in farming.
Good luck on your map! I look forward to virtually farming in the area. lol
brilliant map, just what I was looking for. Have played quite a few hours already and I can see loads of things I want to do, I think I will be on Chilliwack for a long time to come. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you
need to get rid of the blue background on this site as its very hard to read the text LOL
Great Feedback LOL!
Lot better thanks :)
For your first map it's awesome. The ability to customize everything is great. Like that you made the area by costco as a template to add our own production. I have a little over 8 hours on my current save, looking forward to putting plenty more hours on this map.
Thanks for your hard work
Thank you! Great to hear!
one of the best maps ive played. Huge map with smaller fields with a mix of larger fields. Not a 4x with majority larger acre fields. Nice
Thank you!
Great job on the map. I live in the Wack and am very impressed !
Thank you!
Watching Farmer Klein's review of your map. Appears to be outstanding work for a 1st-time mapper. Well done. I am looking forward to playing your map for quite sometime. Now following you on itch - waiting for your first update based on the few things FK mentioned in his review. Thanks for adding such an awesome area of the world to play on!
Thank You! The crashing should be fixed now!
