Some tips: You planted your fields such that if the onions are flooded but the lettuce is dry, you would have to choose one or the other problem to solve. Put ditches on two sides, with on-off valves to control both stretches. Livestock can't cross irrigation ditches, whether or not they're watered. Animals do need hay, with or without a barn. No, they won't drink from watered ditches, HOWEVER, a water tower touching both a watered ditch and a trough will keep the trough full always. GL!
This brings back memories of 1995-1998 when I was living in NC, and use to visit my aunt and uncle in SC (they're in FL now). I use to sleep on the floor of their computer room, so I spent hours playing this (and You Don't Know Jack).I'd usually get kicked off the computer by my uncle, when I had been on the computer long enough. All I need is the sound of a close by freight train roaring by, and I'm there now. I may have to DL this to my old POS Dell, that is capable of running DOS.
That is exactly how I maxed out the cash in the game. I earned as much as the counter would count up and owned all of the available land that the city didn't own. I realized that if you choose the florida area as a custom made map with minimal water, max wind and temp, you could grow oranges without piping in any water at all, just take care of the pests and buy more land when you could. I still don't know if there is any way to 'win' the game, seems like it doesn't end.
Wow... this game had SOUND?! I tried to configure it for years using this separate DOS program where you chose between sound blaster and other things. The best I did was pc speaker... lovely memories.
2 quick tips: first, if you feed and water your livestock they will not break the fences. But a really great trick is to use the irrigation ditches AS the fence, the livestock cannot break out of an enclosed irrigation ditch pen. But still they will get skinny and die if you don't feed and water them!
Are the trees around the fileds help? I know in real life yes (Those for interested why important but don't know and interseted here the answer: Protect from the devestation of wind. It's slow down the wind because they usually (in real life) plant three line of tree What breaks the way of the wind. But must be rid of any bushes between and around the tree lines. Because in the winter time there a chance the snow will stack on the edges of the filed, and if there a winterer plant they can be crushed by weight of snow. And yes if you have a small garden and want protect it from wind you can use taller plats to insted of trees like sun flower. But be warned about sun flowers they eat all minerals from soil, and birds will eat the delicious seeds away from flower. And that can means dubble fails! :D) I hope sombody will like my effort and atleast someone will read this :)
OMG this brings back memories! It's been years since I've played this game.. I need to find it I know it's still around someplace! now it feels like yesterday...
i used to do nothing but strawberry fields. fields always got good money and never bad crops.... id sit up all day playing this game. i got my farm to the size of the entire map once haha
@rayn995 Plant strawberries. They always sell really high and also are really fast at growing. Host of video. Use ditches so they wont break and let animals out. Also give animals feed. It is to the left of the water trough
I could play this game forever and still do sometimes. You could put a ditch around the animal pens as they can't walk over those so they can't escape. But you do need to keep them fed and watered or you get grade F animals. Normally I planted strawberries and sugar beets, but also usually had a lot of livestock. I tried a game rearing only animals, but I went bankrupt. :[
click file - Load Crop - choose orange & replace any other Crop allready install. destroy fences u dont need them. If u destry them u can build 6 feilds. dont buy or play with animals in start. (cows horses etc) The best way the animals cant escape is to prison them with irrigation Ditch. Buy silo and sale the crops when the cost of selected Crop is high. Thats all... easy game. I played simfarm a lot. Very nice game... I wish for a remake.
Thanks for the reply :) I have heard about DOSbox, but havent gotten to use it yet (still a tad nervous about downloading various amounts of applications on my new computer.. but might happen sooner or later). Anyways, would you happen to know is DOSbox is compatible on a 64bit system?
I don't know of any place that would sell it anymore. Which kind of sucks because all of the old Sim Cities are still being sold in packages. Sim Ant, Sim Copter, Sim Safari. lol I recommend websurfing for it?
Ooooh, the nostalgia :D Thanks for sharing this with the original music! I had so much fun playing this when I was a child. Say, would anyone know if the download from the link in the description will work with Windows 7? Or would it need some kind of simulator? Thanks aforehand :)
I remember when I wasn't sure how to have a farm, so i just made a fence and put all the animal together and suddenly they just break my fence, and go spartan...LOL... old time old time.
What good does the trees? I have played this game when I was younger, and unfortunatly I don't have it anymore, but I never understood why you have to plant trees? Can someone tell me?
@ravenseldon Hahaha unless you had the chemical glitch. I couldn't plant any crops that you didn't replant after harvest for years because it was glitches and made my spray it every week. But I downloaded it on the Internet instead of using my CD and it's fine now! =D
Oh I know! I usually only plant strawberries until my farm has done exceptionally well. I have no problem raising cows or sheep. It's horses that are a pain. They keep dying off. Is there a secret to the horses?
Well if i didnt run vistas i still would be, besides, also if this guy wanted money he shoulda planted 3 fields of strawberries that was a big cash crop.
You have to feed your animals thats why they aren't gaining value or doing shit, if you throw some food out there they go ape shit and run around like chickens with there heads cut off especially on ultra lol

xj770HUN the trees stop high wind erosion control.

Aaaaa.... the golden age of PC gaming at it's best. Got to love SIM-EVERYTHING.
dude, i was born in 1996 and still played this game when i was like 3. i had no clue what i was doing tho, but i loved it. i had strawberry fields
awhh! i used to love sims farm. i loved letting all the animals run around
I used to play this in my childhood, and it is a fun game.
I remember playing this in school back in the day, so much fun.
I'm sad I was born too late and missed this era of gaming...
i used to do nothing but strawberry fields. fields always got good money and never bad crops.... id sit up all day playing this game. i got my farm to the size of the entire map once haha
I remember my aunt had this game and I would always laugh when the cows got out and would be running around.
yeah, thanks for sharing it! i clearly remember the music from this game - my sister used to play it when i was 7
god I love this game, I still play it alot....also was a favorite game as a kid!!

Dear lord I miss this game!

Thats all... easy game. I played simfarm a lot. Very nice game... I wish for a remake.
I guess either the barns didn't provide food or the cows couldn't get get a drink of water.
lol , the sound effects are awesome ,
just so you know, the animals damaged the fences (and ate your crop) due to the lack of access to food and water
Thanks for the reply :)

You are a very good farmer!
I remember when I wasn't sure how to have a farm, so i just made a fence and put all the animal together and suddenly they just break my fence, and go spartan...LOL... old time old time.
I don't understand how the cows didn't break out of their pen sooner. Mine got aggrivated with me and would break out within a week of no food
Lol I missed this damn game..I put a farm near the road and I would hear my cows getting run over all the time...
I miss this game
What good does the trees? I have played this game when I was younger, and unfortunatly I don't have it anymore, but I never understood why you have to plant trees? Can someone tell me?

no need, it runs great using DOSBOX program to emulate dos
@whocaresnow2 I didn't notice the log until I read your comment...8 minutes into the video.
Oh I know! I usually only plant strawberries until my farm has done exceptionally well. I have no problem raising cows or sheep. It's horses that are a pain. They keep dying off. Is there a secret to the horses?
I used to play it when i was a kid
this game was my childhood :D
I MISSED THIS GAMEEE LOLLL

It lets you run 16x games like SimFarm in an emulator of Windows XP.
Used it for SimCopter first :D

Well if i didnt run vistas i still would be, besides, also if this guy wanted money he shoulda planted 3 fields of strawberries that was a big cash crop.
