True Vintage Start is a self-contained vintage-progression filter for the shop. Choose the era you want to begin in and only period-correct machinery appears; as the seasons pass the window advances, so newer equipment unlocks over time – but it never snaps back to “everything at once”.
A dedicated True Vintage Start page in the menu – no console needed:
– Era preset: one tap for the 1950s, 1970s, Modern and more
– Start year & Floor year: dial in your exact window, single-year steps
– Time speed: how fast the era climbs, from 1x to 10x vintage-years per game-year… or Frozen, to stay in your chosen year for good
– Vintage filter: master on/off
Everything applies live, and the shop carries an ERA badge so you always know where you stand.
IT DATES THE WHOLE FLEET
– Ordinary era filters only know the build year of base-game machines, so a big mod collection sails straight past them. True Vintage Start dates the thousands of MOD vehicles too:
– Timeless kit – plows, trailers, hand tools – stays available in every era
– Self-propelled machines are dated by their real-world model, so a modern engine bolted onto a vintage body still reads as its true era
– Anything it has never seen defaults to modern, so cheat and unknown machines can’t leak into your 1950s shop
COMPATIBILITY
– Singleplayer & multiplayer. Fully standalone – no other filter mod required. FS25_Vehicle_Years is supported as an optional source of base-game years.
– Advanced (console): eraSet , eraRate , eraProgression, eraLock.
