First, I want to credit @Dmitri-K for his Fixtures Generator and @kingrobbo for his detailed instructions on how to do all this.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Delete the previous version of the files, I changed some things so you need to delete to avoid duplicates and crashes. Extract all files to your editor data folder. Select the files when starting a new save, select sourtitoutsi.net Custom Start Date from the nations list and select the start date as shown in pictures below:

DISCLAIMER: All files now updated to 20.4.0 db.

SI bugged out some leagues with 20.3. and 20.4. db (Brazil, Portugal, Netherlands) which prevented those leagues from being selected so I tried to fix it and it seems to be working right now, but I haven't tested it a few years down the line so if you notice any bugs please report here.

Enjoy.

Yes, sorry guys for absence. I didn't have much time so I just downloaded already made fixtures and results. But for some reason those created a problem in my saves where teams would take over a month to hire a new manager. So I decided to go back to my own files. All files and instructions are updated above so you can download with no problems.

Also, I want to thank kingrobbo again for creating custom start date files because I couldn't get my previous Bhutan start date to work in 2020. So instead of that I used these:

custom start dates feel free to download and edit to suite your needs

NB there has been a bug reported to SI that for custom dates you have to use a Monday this may be fixed in FM 20 so have a look and try it hopefully it is sorted so I have a file with today's date too


Custom start date for 17th of February is included in the updated files. Enjoy.

Yes it does. This doesn't have anything to do with the winter update, there's no conflicts.

Although I have to say I made these on 20.1.0 and will continue to make them on 20.1.0 because I have my own transfer database I've been making all season and don't want to lose it. But I think you can start games on 20.3.0 and use my files, don't think there'll be any problems.

I would ask @kingrobbo to help us out here. I don't think there'll be problems but he knows better than me.

So far I've done it for top 5 leagues, first divisions only and I will add Argentina, Brazil, Netherlands and Portugal with the update tomorrow. Also just 1st divisions.

Also, is there any admins around? Is it possible to change my username just to @AML? Thanks

Also guys - I just tested my files which were made on 20.1.0 db with 20.3.0 db when starting a new game and all the transfer updates are there, everything works just fine.

So today I learned that it doesn't matter on which database you make the files in terms of transfer updates etc as long as you select 20.3.0 db when starting your save. Also, if you have your own db that you use which was made on 20.1.0 like I do, you can use real fixtures files made on 20.3.0 and select your own db and start your save on 20.1.0 and there will be no problems or conflicts.

Only difference is if you make real fixtures on 20.3.0 db the EPL summer transfer window is moved to September 1st as in real life. So I will make another file for EPL on 20.3.0 db bc of the new date for transfer window closing and keep the others on 20.1.0 because it's too bothersome to move everything again now.

In short-other than transfer window in EPL it doesn't matter on which db you make these files so you guys can freely download and not worry about any problems or conflicts.

I will update the file so you can download the new EPL version and results for two games that were played last night in EPL and Bundesliga.

I've noticed a problem when I start a new game on the updated database with your file, when I start as Newcastle or Arsenal the first fixture between the two teams gets moved to the 21st of August instead of the 11th of August, is there a way to fix this?

I really don't know why that would happen. I checked in the files and started a save and both show 11th August as first fixture between those two.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/xxKYFFyPnqJNIu6ra0M3JXBxSVyoPNImEvs3H99M.png

Did you start just that one save and had that problem?

Maybe there was a clash with some other fixtures and the game moved it on it's own.

You're starting the game without the custom start date file. I don't know if that's intentional or not.

These files are made for starting the game on February 24th, 2020. Idk how the files are behaving and how the game rearranges them if you want to start in summer of 2019.

I added the custom start date file and it wouldn't let me pick the custom start date, but again once starting on 1/7/19 the Newcastle vs Arsenal match comes up on the 21st August

It's impossible it doesn't let you pick the custom start date.

First you tick the custom start date file like here:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/GdbAoOPXFr7u0i1nxkgjnWB4Ldb14TzGzHHVFBPB.png

Then you click on advanced options. When the new window opens go to add/remove leagues and select sortitoutsi.net custom start date like here:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/qX57qRzsUKHpCMz1Udhr7j7EsPaMpweaPMnR8Vyk.png

Then you go to the bottom right corner, click on the drop-down menu below game start date, find the sortitoutsi league and select start of 2019 season like here:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Nm5QCG8Cvmn0O0Hs9l5lvULH3OoCQGIkpXOkpA2N.png

It has to work. I've created 100s of saves just testing it.

It doesn't because they're not from the same country.

What do you mean it doesn't let you select custom start date? Is there a red triangle or you don't have it in your nations list?

I didn't change anything in the rules but I got that message too. Try to open the Brazil fixtures in FM editor, just click save and then try again in game to start with it. That worked for me.

I tried again but didn't change. I checked everything and found a problem with fixture file. I think you changed "Campeonato Rondoniense Série B" (313213) league rules. There is same rule error for fixture file where looking with FM official editor. It doesn't matter. Thx again too.
