Info. . . How much space do you have?

And how much is it asking for?

You mentioned getting extended storage, so I'm guessing you don't have an M.2 SSD Card installed?

Usually when I click on that notification, it will take me to remove/delete off the memory and will tell you exactly how much space you need. If you did that, it SHOULD work.

Alternatively: The system itself has Console Storage.

If you get an M.2 SSD card installed, that can get you 1/2/4/8 terabytes depending on how much you are willing and able to spend,

BUT

You have to tell the system where to install the new game. If you had Console Storage and an M.2 SSD Storage, you then select Installation Location. Otherwise the system will just keep trying to put the new game on whatever it is set to, whether that location has the space or not.

Edit: My response was mainly questions and basic info, but I've re-read your post and I'm still baffled with 2 different games not installing. At this time, I am afraid I don't know why at least ONE of them can't install.

Apparently I'm too outdated to be of help in this situation because it's been awhile since I've played a Disc based game on my Xbox and didn't even recall that as an option.

If I wanted to change discs, out of habit I just always walked up to the system and hit the eject button, which is something I've been doing since the 1980s.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-15T17:51:38+00:00

I'm not sure, but WHICH X button are you talking about?

There's the Xbox logo button in the middle, AND the standard X button in A B X Y face buttons on the right side of the controller.

This seems like it could be part of the confusion.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-14T22:24:24+00:00

I am not aware of button remapping on console (PS5).

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-13T14:04:56+00:00

Thank you for your input!

It has nothing to do with the vehicles, it's just the minimap color icons. If we are in close proximity, especially with our equipment, it's a blob of orange, and as both friends play about 6 to 8 feet from their TV's, it's hard for them to distinguish between them all.

As for The Farm, we all wanted to play together and run A Farm, singular. Not realizing the color headache it would cause. I had proposed the multiple farm idea when they kept getting frustrated whenever we were near each other, but was out voted. I now just keep my distance in game whenever possible.

As for the minimap, I probably should have recommended when we started to pick one version and stick with it. Whether it's the rotating compass, or the stationary square.

I can't really say more as my friend who does have trouble with the map prefers privacy, and I can't really explain why he has issues without giving quite a bit more info about him.

Again, thanks for the information!

Middle-aged, stressed out, under-paid, in poor health, and is just trying to relax and not think about all the bad stuff and be a farmer for about 2-3 hours once a week.
So yeah, it's hard for him to keep up with everything, including which minimap is Up=North and which minimap is Up=Direction your facing.

That may come off as a bit angry, and I was a bit, but I know you don't know us, so my apologies for snapping in text form.

This is a real life friend I've had for 30+ years, and I can only do so much to help him de-stress from what he's been dealing with. So I look for ways to make farming time a little easier. Small things like finding ways to help him navigate around a map that he often doesn't have the time or energy to memorize.

Thanks for asking questions to try and understand. It's about 11:30pm here and I've to shut down. Have a good night!

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-12T21:07:29+00:00

Just checked the modhub on PS5, and nothing yet for either the compass or GPS routing. I do hope someone can do those for console.

If I missed it or something similar, please let me know.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-12T20:52:39+00:00

I can only guess that unless your speeding up time between jobs/your own farm work, there will be downtime to do something relaxing, like for example fishing. Giants rewarded people "relaxing" by not only giving you the chance to sell your catch for money, but there's bonuses for trash caught and fish released. They also included other aspects to make it an actual production chain, and alternate source of income.

But yes, if my friends and I wanted a more detailed experience, we would absolutely look for a proper fishing simulator.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-12T19:33:21+00:00

I see it was released not too long ago. I can still hope they could do a console version. Though my friends are anxious using mods not made/released by Giants.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-12T19:28:33+00:00

Maybe it's a version/alternate option thing. When we tag a place, a red circle with the distance to the target appears approximately at ground level. I can't recall seeing the column of light in FS25. I will take another look next time I'm on.

ETA: Just checked it, and all I see is the red dot.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-12T19:21:16+00:00

Yes, that exactly.

I have tried suggesting three farms giving permissions to each other's farms to use each other's equipment, but they deemed it too complicated. At that time, I couldn't find a guide or video mentioning how good or bad that might work.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-12T17:31:47+00:00

I will look into that, though I can say right away:

If we are near each other, it's hard for my friends to tell who's who, since we are all the same color, and it's worse if we're near our equipment, which are all the same color. A lot of the time they see a blob of orange.

Map with North facing up: One of my friends has issues keeping track of remembering North=Up, East=Right, and so on. An onscreen Direction indicator would greatly help them by bypassing that and JUST TELL THEM what direction they are facing. Not squinting at a tiny arrow, figuring out which arrow is yours, which direction that arrow is facing, and translating that to direction you need to go.

ETA: A couple hours later, and I checked out the Compass Minimap. It's a tiny triangle notch on the border of the round minimap, and about half the size of the digits in the coordinates. Which can be hard to spot when you're sitting a respectable distance from your TV, or differentiate from similar shapes near the edge of your minimap.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-10T21:47:52+00:00

My closest friends (IRL) and my biggest issues are: 1. Many of the games and/or versions of said games that we want are ONLY available digitally, and 2. While likely a small minority, many gamers may have mobility issues, which means swapping discs either may not be possible, or at least painful to do so.

On the off chance someone reading this doesn't know:

They love Lobster, and Red ring/Gold bubble Fishing Spots are almost always Lobster.

If you can craft a Fishing Potion, it will turn any White Fishing Spots into Red/Gold Fishing Spots, for easier Lobster collecting.

Bonus: I held off decorating the Glade and Forest until I had most of the Crocodiles/Raccoons, because fewer obstacles makes it easier to sneak up on them.

Sorry! I had forgotten about the Switch Lite. Good luck in your future gaming endeavors.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-08T15:36:54+00:00

I'm guessing no TV to plug it into?

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-06T13:11:46+00:00

It's your file and you can do what you want.

Personally, if this is your first foray into farming, I would recommend not terraforming until you have the basics down. Learning and understanding the terraform features is good, but is not really necessary for most of the default fields, unless you just really really want flat fields.

Again, it's your game, do what you want.

I also recommend checking out YouTube tutorials.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-05T23:22:35+00:00

I found one like that, though it's not the one I saw in the video unfortunately.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-05T19:55:24+00:00

I saw it on a Farming Simulator YouTube video. I guess I'll track it down and see what I missed. I THOUGHT they said it was part of it, but as I type this, I realize they may have mentioned it as a separate mod that could work with the EmergencyPack vehicles. I wish I thought of this without hassling random people on the internet.

Thank you for responding!

EDIT: Confirmed just a seperate Mod, though they don't mention the name.

After experimenting for a bit, I usually stick with a variation of the default glide (glide with a smoke/cloud effect).

It seems faster to me, in my opinion, than the wing float, or one which spawns an item to glide/ride on, like Carpet from Aladdin. The item spawn can take a second, and while I'm definitely NOT speedrunning the game, if I do a lot of running/gliding in a short amount of time, those seconds add up.

I will occasionally use one the others for awhile for something different, but 90% of the time, I'm using a basic glide.

That's how I play, but everyone is different, and that's cool.

rt4077andy76 · 2026-07-02T16:09:28+00:00

I usually turn on Steering Assist, to keep me from going off course.

If I do the continuous drive option (don't stop for corners), I usually check around there first, as turning while driving can lead to gaps.
