Through The Years changes how you buy machinery in Farming Simulator 22 by tying vehicle availability to a chosen starting year. It needs the companion mod Vehicle Years to work properly, since that mod supplies the vehicle year data used for the restrictions.
Instead of having access to every modern machine from day one, players start with older, less powerful equipment and gradually unlock newer vehicles as in-game years pass. Settings can be tuned per category, and there's an option to ensure at least one usable vehicle is always available for each farming function.
This mod is aimed at players who want a slower, more historically grounded progression experience, especially when paired with other mods that add vehicles from specific decades. It also includes handling for mission and sale vehicles so the restrictions apply consistently across the game.
Required mods: this mod needs the following mod to work: Vehicle Years (by Thalley). Install it too.
