@Rob Henry, sorry mate I'm telling porkies! The custom newgen file DOES work after the latest update, must have been a case of fat fingers (either that or I had forgotten how to spell my own name!! 😂) when I was looking earlier.

 

Which is good news for me but makes it a mystery why it hasn't worked for you.

Bad news. Just gone through my first close season in a new game started after the 24.4 update and my newgen's have not appeared, which is disappointing.

 

The file definitely worked before the update.

 

I use the real name fix and the only .edt file I have with additional staff is support_staff.edt which has the names of player liaison officers for a dozen clubs. You can only see the player liaison officer for the club you actually manage. Added an additional manager and took over one of those (Leeds) and that file is not working either - the player liaison officer should be Peter Lockwood (per that file) but I get some random bloke in game.

 

So does seem like they have either accidently or deliberately nerfed the ability to add custom newgens, and the suppot staff file in the update. Way to go SI!!!

It should work as it did before unless SI have nerfed it in the update. If not, the only things that immediately springs to mind is if you applied the latest version of mons's real name fix after the update could you have forgotten to copy your lnc file across into it?

 

I started a new save myself after the update but I've not quite got to the point where the regens appear yet. I should be able to let you know in a few days whether it is working for me or not.

Hi mate, this defintely works in FM24. I've added myself and a 2 others and all three spawned at the start of season 2.
