Don't run for a job you can't afford. You see a shiny new vehicle and the owner left it in the condition as it was...years ago, back in the FS19 era when I first got into the FS-series.

If you think there's a mountain of changes in FS25, you'll be upset and frustrated, and probably end up in badly emotional state. The improvements are artificial - like a brand new make-up product in a cosmetic store.
I can't say I would recommend a product like this one for someone with weak nerves. The game physics will make you into grumpy, angry and sad person. The psychological impact of such in the long haul could cause risk of long-term illness caused by overwhelming emotional temper.

On the positive side there's nice graphics once you get rid of the flick & flock (read: visual artifacts caused by bad shaders.) These can cause serious injury for your eyes and turn every session into a cruel nightmare.

If I was a doctor for real, my recommendation would be: Stay away and wait for patches and mods.
Until then GIANTS are so busy that they haven't even added a moderator at this games discussion board on Steam. That's how occupied they currently are.

I myself have much fun with this game despite the common problems in the FS-series that hasn't improved as much as influencers hype it to be. Bad salesmanship doesn't work well these days. Suprising enough, GIANTS is still selling the same hype with developers showcasing the new features that are yet so far behind in time that it's comical. This isn't UNREAL (engine) yet, but unreal in simulation - technical simulation. That alone impacts the gameplay and the handling of big toys.
