Thanks, looking forward to giving this a whirl.

Any ideas where I can grab Logos and kits etc for lower league teams?

Thanks for all your hard work Dan, I'm sure you know it but your files are so crucial to lower league lovers like myself.

 

Is this the same version as the one currently on FMScout? Just wondering as it was posted 13 days ago over there, but I've been waiting on an update as there's some duplicate teams and issues with promotions/relegations to the wrong places (as has been pointed out in the download comments section over there). Thank you!

There will always be 2 or 3 teams who go into the wrong leagues, it's just the game isn't clever enough plus it isn't designed to go down that far in the levels!

 

But this is the latest file as they updated the pre-game editor

Hi Dan

 

I'm the manager of Leafield Athletic in the West Midlands Regional - Division 1. How likely is it that you'll add in the league in a further data pack?

This file corrupted my save to the point where a few in-game months in I noticed that all top EPL clubs (Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Utd, Spurs and Chelsea) have been placed in the lowest league. Real bummer. We should add a warning at the top that this sort of thing could happen. Better than saying “all teams in the correct divisions”. I think someone above has posted a screenshot of this happening. You'd expect a small bug, but every single team going to the bottom is pretty bad.

It was a ball ache going through every mod I've got like 200 loaded so did them in bulk 10 mods at a time to see which ones were messing it up a few steam workshop ones can cause a conflict on my game for some reason I can't get the Austrian league to load different mods different Austrian databases the league just won't populate with teams I use the default one for Austria I gave up I do like a mod I can't help it used over 400 in FM 24 took a few weeks to get it to run when it did it was so much fun FM 26 is less fun I wud say some things are improved but the UI is a pain and I do like a stadium picture and a manager picture

You should not need to pay to access any community-member-shared files (such as this one).

 

You should have access to the download by clicking on the file attached to this thread.

 

Can you please reach out to me in a PM and talk me through/screenshot what is happening?

Does anyone have this problem? I created a folder called ‘editor data’ in the FM26 one and added the downloaded FMF file. However, when I go into the game, there are no databases available, and no custom editor data is found. Am I missing something obvious here and doing something wrong?

What is the full filepath of the ‘editor data’ folder you’ve created?

Unfortunately, that's not the correct location for the ‘editor data’ folder. Whilst that is your installation location (when using Steam), the ‘editor data’ folder needs to be housed elsewhere.

 

Specifically, within your ‘Documents’ folder, you need the following folder structure: \Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\editor data\

 

You should see that if you browse to Documents, everything up to ‘Football Manager 26’ exists, so you may just need to create that final ‘editor data’ folder. Put the FMF file in there and the game should recognise it.
