Farming Simulator ModHub vs Thunderstore

Farming Simulator ModHub is a platform for user-generated content made with the GIANTS SDK. Its catalog covers two games and organizes mods into categories such as maps, gameplay, packages, vehicles, loaders, trailers, harvesting and placeables. Visitors can browse recent or top-downloaded items, prefabs and crossplay content, or use search. A crossplay filter is available for Farming Simulator 25 mods. Individual mod pages provide a download link and identify the filename, size, version and release date; some also list other mods that must be installed. Users can upload their own SDK-created content after registering with an email address and password, and the SDK includes an editor for creating and sharing content. ModHub is free, with featured and user-favourite items marked free. Platform availability depends on the mod: Vouilly Normandy lists PC/Mac, PS5 and XBS. User-created content remains its creators’ property, and GIANTS disclaims responsibility for that content and any damage it may cause.

Thunderstore is a mod database and API for developers to publish mods and for mod managers to download them. Its catalog lists over 110,000 mods across 300+ games. Thunderstore Mod Manager installs, updates, and manages mods for supported games; it supports profiles, profile export, direct downloads and installs, configuration editing, and updates for outdated mods. The official site directs users to download the manager for Windows, and the app is powered by the Overwolf Client, which is installed with it. Developers can use linked API and package-format documentation, a manifest validator, and a Markdown preview tool. The free plan is listed at free. Thunderstore directs users and developers to Discord for manager support, game requests, and rejected-upload review requests. Its privacy notice says nonessential cookies are applied only with consent and technical and usage data is generally retained for up to 30 days, with stated exceptions. It also says associated GitHub or Discord account details are not made public unless a user requests publication.
