This file is intended for FM13.3, and will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are re-installed when patches come out.

Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical.

Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this file:

Step 1: Go to

PC
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1300 
AND
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1330 
MAC
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1300
AND
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1330
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the folder above

Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.

Step 4: Go to:

Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2013
Step 5: Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein. If it does not exist, then create it.

Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and open the folder named "editor data files".

Step 7: Copy the 30 files in the folder from step 6 into the folder mentioned in step 5.



To check if the file is working, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.

Are the names updated to 'Sky Bet League Two' etc on the latest update??

I can PM you my lnc file if you like, and if that's permitted, i've updated the Football League and Conference names.

As explained here, I'll only release a new version once the FM14 demo is out.

Have you applied the files to both the 1300 and 1330 folders?


Apologies mate,. That's fair enough. Do you know if there is an easy way for me to do it while still using your file for the other leagues?

Thanks.

As always, anybody who is aware of sponsor-related competition name changes is encouraged to post them in here.

I've already changed the English Championship, League One, League Two and Conference Premier, North and South, as well as the Portuguese second tier and the Scottish league divisions.

Hi Mons...I've used this file since it's been out...wonderful stuff.

Can I just check that the file with the latest sponsor changes (i.e. Skybet, Skrill etc.) won't be released until the FM 14 demo is out?

No worries if not, I'm just wanting to check. I'll be starting a new save once the last FM Weegie update is out at the start of September so just wondered if it would be done for then.

I don't think I'll have time to make a full round-up of all the leagues, so I will not be releasing a new version of the file until the FM14 demo is out, no...

Have you removed the previous contents of the lnc folder before replacing them with these files? Copy/pasting will leave a file which negates the changes.

Could you upload a screenshot of the lnc folder?

No need to place anything in the latter folders, no,



VICTORY! Finally figured it out. For some reason l'd deleted an replaced the contents of the INC folder within the 1330 folder but not the 1300 one which was empty for some reason. Copied the contents in correctly and now we have one full German squad ready for Brazil 2014. Just in time! thanx for your superb work as always!

Hi will this work on FM 2007? If possible would i have to copy and paste into the competition name change file?

The lnc files should still work, in theory, although some re-organised competitions might be missing.

I'm using a custom database, with all the latest transfers etc, along side this one. I've edited the database to reflect the changes to the new league names (Sky Bet & Skrill) yet when I start a new game it still shows as npower Football League Championship etc, so I guess it's conflicting with one of these files? Is there any way I can edit the relevant file so the names can be changed, and if so which file would it be? Thanks

Hello mate, just wondering if there was any chance, if permitted, you could PM me the lnc file with the updated Football League and Conference names. I'm using a custom database with updated transfers etc which has the correct league names, however the current lnc file I have installed seems to over-ride these changes. Would really appreciate it if you could, if not no worries! Cheers.

Hey wondering if anyone can help me out quick. I've installed this file before but I recently got a new pc and one installing it this time I'm running into some difficulties. Everything seems to be fixed in my new save, journalists, competition names, etc however the German National team is still full of fake players. Any help?

Due to licensing restrictions, you cannot have different short and long names for Portuguese clubs nor nicknames, and there's absolutely nothing which can be done about it.

Hi,

Just downloaded this and I'm getting lots of messages about there being 17 teams instead of 18.

Does this ring any bells or shall I upload a screenshot?

I've downloaded this update and the 13.3 update from the downloads page - is it possible they shouldn't be used together? I first unzipped and applied the 13.3 update then this one.

Any suggestions appreciated - I'm just trying to start a new game to see what, if anything, happens.

regards
David

I've no idea. You've definitely installed something in the wrong place, but I can't tell at this point. Could you upload a screenshot of the 1330/lnc folder and your editor data folder.

I don't know what 13.3 update you've downloaded, but it's very possible that the issue is what that file rather than this one, given that this file does not modify any nation rules. Which competition is giving you an error message?

Try loading a new game up without the 13.3 update file and let me know what the result is.
