How to add yourself as a newgen in Football Manager

"DETAILED FUTURE REGEN" "Mark" "Matt" "Baker" "31/1/2007" "1435" "2000337293" "0" "1" "4" "196" "85" "4" "MIDFIELDER_CENTRAL" "11" "104445" "130" "200" "2000337295"

Does this look correct to you? Am i doing something wrong. The team is a Red Bull Mod, otherwise fairly standard.

@Rob Henry  DETAILED FUTURE REGEN should be DETAILED_FUTURE_REGEN (with underscores between each word) and in my file I use a period as the date seperator rather than a slash, but I'm not sure if that matters. I also have the country name for nationalily rather than the ID, but I think you can use either.

This is the line I have in my file:

"DETAILED_FUTURE_REGEN" "Fred" "" "Bloggs" "31.01.2007" "England" "671" "0" "7" "3" "180" "72" "2" "MIDFIELDER_CENTRAL" "31" "29044758" "" "-9" "671"

I do have it in the 2430 database - see the screengrab below with my .edt file highlighted.

I  place a copy of my .edt file (it's not .lnc as I mentioned a few posts back) in the same place in each and every database just to be on the safe side, but I think that technically you only need it in the latest (or the one you have selected for your game).

The whole of the dbc, edt and lnc folders are replaced when you use the real name fix, which I do, so the contents of my permanent might be slightly different to yours but that doesn't matter at all - as long as you have your newgen edt file in that place it should work fine.

possible to make your newgen24 file available? 

I think the missing underscore in the title would be enough to throw it off, well spotted, i will do a simple save and holiday until newgen date and let you know, thank you 🙂 

Here you go.  Each of the 3 lines beginning "DETAILED_FUTURE_REGEN" are my actual newgens - all the other lines prefixed with # are ignored by the game and are there just for info.

Hope you find it useful.

i wonder if this guide will be relevent for fm25

Is it possible to set the newgen to show up in random team?

I guess so. Not tried it myself, but the last number is the club so if you just leave it blank, by that I mean put “”, then I would expect (but I don't know for certain) the newgen to either appear at a random club or as unemployed. Try it in a test save and see what happens.

I have test it and it won't generate any newgen
Maybe i am missing something but you would like to test it by yourself

Easy and well explained. I translated it with Google, no problem.

Had a little mess about and it doesn't work for me either you don't put a club at the end. Ah well, something learned I guess, so not a total waste of time! 😂

I even tried putting a birth dates that would make them in their 40s, 50s or 60s to see if they would appear as staff and that doesn't work either - if you try to make a newgen too old they simply do not appear.
