This file is intended for FM13.3, and will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are re-installed when patches come out.

Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical.

Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this file:

Step 1: Go to

PC
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1300 
AND
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1330 
MAC
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1300
AND
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1330
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the folder above

Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.

Step 4: Go to:

Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2013
Step 5: Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein. If it does not exist, then create it.

Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and open the folder named "editor data files".

Step 7: Copy the 30 files in the folder from step 6 into the folder mentioned in step 5.



To check if the file is working, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.

Hi Mons,

Let me know what changes you intend to make Please do not add these changes to my files as they have been changed since the latest version was released, but send them to me separately so I can insert them individually. Thanks.

Your crash is unlikely to be related to this file, and I am not sure what endorsing a player means. First of all download the latest version of this file and apply it, just in case you have an older version, although it shouldn't be a problem. Secondly, verify the integrity of the game cache on Steam if you want to restore the original files.

because as I start a new game, the german and japanese national teams are without any players at all...is that supposed to be like this? You told that anyone that already as a save needs to wait for the next call ups for german national team...however, I start a new game and the national team should already have all the players shouldn't it? and the japanese national team as well.....?

You need to re-download and reapply the files then. It needs to be done every time a new patch is released, as some of the files are automatically re-created by Steam.

in your game, players like Llorente and Josue continue to have their decisions of leaving their clubs at the end of their contracts? are you sure?

and do you know what can I do to reset the old and original data of the game?

I hope you can help me so I can start a new game

Hm. That´s what I have done before.

When I click in the Club Details I can see the whole name of the club, e.g. Blackburn Rovers. Anything else (League Table, Fixtures, ...) I can see only the short name of the club, e.g. Blackburn. So I thought it will be necessary to extract the files into the update-folder as well. But it doesn't work. :-(

These files do not edit any players at all, and I've never said it does, so I'm not sure why you think that it does

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying as this file does not modify club names in that manner and I've never said it does

Hi mons, it's a kind of weird in fact, because I've uninstalled my game and installed it again and the players are alright when I just choose the spanish league. however, when I choose the german one, for example, the players like Llorente and Josué simply stay without the "I'm leaving when my contract ends" decision...anyone knows what can be the problem? another thing, is it just me or Amorebieta simply transforms himself in a spanish international instead of a venezuelan one? I hope you guys can help me...

As I have explained twice already, your issue has nothing to do with these files and this is therefore not the right place to ask about it. Try removing any editor data files you have downloaded, perhaps.

Gentle reminder to everyone to remove the all folder from within the lnc folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2013\data\db\1300, otherwise the German national team will return to being populated with fake players.

Hi.

I have the 13.2.3 version and I can't find the "common" folder, I have tried showing hidden files, typing the route folder name, or even doing a search, but there is no common folder in the steamapps folder. What should I do?

Thanks

Edit: got it. The game was installed on another hdd.

As explained many times including in the OP, fake players in the German and Japanese national teams will still appear in a save game until the next time that teams are called up.

I didn't explain well the issue.
In the editor, I see that the names fixes files works for everything but the japanese clubs/leagues. It seems like Sigames has hardcoded the japanese clubs/leagues names.
I use files to change names and enable teams for years, it's the first time I have an issue like that.


EDIT: I fixed uninstalling and reinstalling the whole game. I don't know the origin of the bug, anyway now it's solved.
