Morning all. Kicked off a Level 15 save in the Hertfordshire Senior County League Division 5 over the weekend.

 

I've got the basics sorted:
- Dan's England Leagues to Level 20 (fantastic database)
- Have also added in the lower leagues for Wales, Scotland and NI (currently view-only) so I can potentially scout players from those leagues once I’ve climbed the ladder a few rungs! (Post-Brexit rules means there’s no point having leagues outside the UK)
- FMtweaks Lower League engine (enjoying it so far!)
- Added in a kit for my team.
- Authentic kits from FM Slovakia for some of the loftier lower leagues.
- Added in the right competition logos.
- Added the authentic club badges for my league.
- Bedding in a couple of proper old school long ball tactics that make Dave Bassett and John Beck look like Rinus Michels.

 

What I’m definitely missing:
- Authentic lower league atmosphere. I’m on Mac so can't use the FM Sounds lower leagues pack, which is a shame (I think it may clash with the FM Tweaks simatch file in any case) Would love any suggestions for alternatives that might work!
- Authentic kits for my leagues. It felt like such a lot of work so that is the limit of my drive for authenticity.
- Ramshackle ground. My stadium is more League 2 than Level 15 so would love any tips on how I could get closer to that “one small stand and some men and their dogs leaning on a rail” look. I think some stuff is possible via the pre-game editor…
- A more chewed up, muddier pitch (preferably without an authentic dog 💩 near the corner flag lol)

- A lower league ‘stadium‘ photos pack.
 

Really appreciate any tips on the above, or any other recommendations for mods, tweaks or add-ons that could add to the experience.

 

Thanks in advance!
