What file are you talking about exactly? Cos you've confused me.

You mentioned "load the fm14 databse into fm20". That to me means you wanted to have the FM14 player data in FM20, which is not possible. Or is that not what you meant?


Yeah it is shame its impossible but thats for the help

The official FM20 data will only work with FM20, and so on and so forth. They may be similar but they're not identical, which is one reason why they might not be backward or forward compatible. Additionally, by doing so SI might be chipping away at their income stream somewhat too, no?


Like I said with the FM19 mod in FM20 the author says "Most of this is ported over from MadScientistFM's work for 2019." so I assumed it would be possible to load previous game data onto a new version to then edit, such as player data (age, stats, club etc).

It doesn't work like that, I'm afraid. You can't load the FM14 SI database into FM20, or vice-versa, or any combination in between.


Thats a shame, but I thought you could load it into the editor? I know theirs a 2003/04 database for FM20 which is just the FM19 version which he patched up in the editor to use in FM20. I would of thought that with the game being so similar you would be able to do the same with previous game databases - would of saved me a lot of time anyway as I want to try and re-create that season in fm20

Do you delete the others then Ben?


You do everything the same - just replace the sound folder from simatchviewer-pc with the one from the download

Works on FM20, just use simatchviewer-pc rather than simatchviewer
