Multiplayer advise

[musicman]

I have never played FS15 in multiplayer and would like to know more about it.  Anyone have some suggestions where to get started, like whats a good host, tips and tricks? Does anything need to be changed in my mods folder? Can you even use your own mods or do you have to use the maps in game vehicles?  I like simple american farming with large fields and plenty of room to get equipment to and from with some nice scenery. What are the rules, do you team up with other players to get tasks done?  Can you spectate before playing? Thanks

1. Don't start a multiplayer game that is not playable in single player....My biggest thing is joining a game and there being bales all over tractors flipped and so forth.
2. Mods can be used as long as the people you want to play along have the same mods (same with maps)
3. Servers i'm not sure about they confuse me
4. Rules are just like real life: Be polite don't say anything that can get you in trouble etc. big one is DO NOT TRASH SOMEONES GAME i'm sure you know that but for anyone else who thinks it may be funny to trash their game.
5. MP is rather laggy with certain maps or with a ton of players (could just be my internet but i've played on tons of internet types) so don't rage quit when the server is slow or your lag jumping and stuff.
6. When you get started i suggest having a backup of your save game in case some does crash your whole set up.
1. Start with some crops ready for harvest
2. Have decent vehicles and some money ready (for 1 and 2 you can cheat to a degree unless you really want to start from the bottom.)
3. Like i said start with a playable game that would be playable in single player
That's about all i can think of. These are mainly just from experience because i have had those noobs just throw my tractors and bales around but then i have had those great people who really want to make you successful. I've always been a money cheater (deal wid it lol) I've always started with enough money to get the tractors i needed to start my farm without bopping along at 10 miles an hour with 8 acres to do. All this is personal refferance but i have found it all to work pretty well for friends that have started with MP and such. Hope this helped.

Have a good day
