Updated for patch 24.3, which created lots of problems.  Currently working through them.  Have fixed most of Europe, only some of the smaller countries to do.  South America and USA done.

 

Instructions:

Put the stadium improvements.fmf in your editor data folder and start a new game.

Thank you very much for this much needed added bit of realism for FM! You're doing a fantastic job in making the game a much deeper experience.

 

Could I just ask you what parts in the contents of the simatchviewer.fmf archive have been edited, so that I could reapply only those particular files/folders when FM 24 gets updated, without having to overwrite the entire new simatchviewer.fmf in the process, please?

Sure.  So if you unpack simatchviwer.fmf go to art>environments>stadiums.  I've moved around some of the files there.  I would encourage you to do some experimenting of your own and see what you can come up with.

Won’t over riding the simatchviewer affect mods such as metzfm commentary and British chants sound mod?

Thank you for this! Any screenshots so we could get an idea of the changes in the simatchviewer mate please?

Also @Bielsa is a Legend, Metzfm files are in simatchviewer-pc so I believe that shouldn't be a problem 🙂

Its mentioned in the description if you read that.

 

This will give a bit more variation in stadium design particularly smaller stadiums.  Back up your old simatchviewer.fmf file in case you don't like how this makes the stadiums look. ”

It's hard to say exactly because this file was made for FM23 and covered a lot more leagues.  I have been going through and correcting mistakes created after converting it to FM24.  I've mentioned in the intro what leagues.  In terms of Europe England , Spain, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, France, Portugal, Scotland, Austria (all playable leagues done). Some leagues like England needed very few changes, some like Spain needed lots.  If you see anything that could look better let me know.  The only thing that can be changed is: if there is a stand, if it's seating or standing and if it has a roof.

Sound pack replaces simatch.fmf and simatchviewer-pc.fmf, so wont affect it by also using this

Just come across this download today. Very exciting, as stadiums i feel haven't come along way over the years. Is there any chance you could upload the differences at Old Trafford?

Huge thanks in advance!

Unfortunately for me Chile is not included, you should consider the idea of making a video on how to edit the stadiums, many of us would appreciate it, great job!

There is no changes to Old trafford in the editor file.  The changes I made in simatchviewer.fmf mean it now looks like this (much better I think):

The following stadiums have changes in Chile:

If you think there are more that need changes send me a PM.

Wow, that's insane! Great job! Do you you think it would ever be possible to remove the outside “running track” (I know its not a running track but cant describe what it's called lol) from Old trafford to bring the fans closer to the pitch? I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's the one thing that has really bugged me over the years that FM have done! Would love a stadium similar to the look Besiktas or Juventus have in the game!

Not really insane, it's just swapping one stadium model for another.  There is nothing unique about Old trafford in the file.  At the moment the only things you can change are: if there is a stand, if it's seating or standing, if it has a roof and the colour of the seats.
