Thanks Bassy for this fantastic work ! 

Why not a separate mod that removes the rain ? That would be really fun…

@BassyBoyYT Quick question will need to instal every time you load the game or is it just the first time?

@BassyBoyYT , Will you be doing files for the National League in England?

looks Amazing. not going to use it till he finalised everything but well done pal. is there anyway i can just load in the no rain plugin?nothing else

Hi everyone, thanks for your great work. I'm playing with Barça and the stadium looks perfect, but there are no fans 😢 Does anyone know what the problem might be? My PC has an i7 and an RTX 4070 Ti. Does anyone know what the issue could be? Thanks

Hi, this is my first time playing fm26 in months. Does this work with low graphics and do i have to download V1.3.0 before V1.4.0 ? Any help would be appreciated 🙂

if i didnt already downloaded version 1.3.0…can i just download 1.4.0 and install or i need to first download 1.3.0?

INFORMATION REGARDING THE UPCOMING WEEKS: 

Hey everyone! 

 

First off, I am super happy to say that over all the platforms the Stadium Megapack for FM26 has surpassed 250k downloads, which is more than I could imagine!

There's also some other news to mention though. 

 

I have gotten a few (many) questions when the next update of the Stadium Megapack gets released, and I want to take the time to look at the plan for that, as well as look at my own time schedule. Bluntly, I won't be releasing an update to the Stadium Megapack for this week and next week. This has to do with the fact that I am working on individual lighting per stadium, which is super time consuming.

 

I have also noticed that the way the last update went has broken some things for some users. I am still going to update it for free, of course since that is my vision, but to me making a load of "patches" that break stuff temporarily and make it a hassle to both maintain and install is not ideal and takes too much time away. I will instead make a full Version 2.0. 

 

This version will be a polished experience and will be great in terms of performance for old systems too, as well as having custom lights per stadium from the off. It will be an all in one installation that will hopefully be easier to install again. Crowds will also have a full overhaul, gaining more realism as well as consistent and stutter free framerates for all stadiums. Instead of simply disabling rain, I've added a weather overhaul that simulates weather more accurately and without the negative performance hit alongside 18 new skyboxes (the way the sky in match looks). 

 

That said, I've now passed 640 hours in terms of modding for FM now and the balance in combination with my work and university study is off, like completely ravaged. I want to reply to everyone and help everyone as well as I can, but it's a bit too much to do it all alone as well as the rest, and getting rest myself. If I don't reply to your DM it's not disinterest, but it means it's either lost in the waves of messages, or my social battery is overloaded. 

 

I am super grateful to all of you who have helped me in the gathering of feedback and been up for a chat, and what I've noticed is that the community has started to rally again around this as well as the skinning that has started to be possible, and that's brilliant! Ultimately, for the reasons above I've made this decision as I think it is best for the Megapack and the future of it! Hopefully you'll all understand it, but if there are questions, feel free to ask them and I'll do my best to reply to them.

Absolutely right mate. Please @BassyBoyYT can you update the instructions more clearer, as that would be really appreciated mate,

 

What worked well for me was installing the Christmas Eve pack, and overwriting in this order:

 

Football Manager 26 - BETA 3D Stadium Megapack - v1.1.1

StadiumUpdate_v1.1.2

StadiumUpdate_v1.1.3

StadiumUpdate_v1.1.4

 

After I did this all these initial stadiums you released worked well.

 

Then I deleted them and started again by adding and overwriting in this order:

 

v1.2.0

v1.3.0

v1.4.0

 

From there a lot of problems began, with the removal of Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, and Rangers Ibrox Stadium makes the game crash whilst loading.

 

So in a new order I installed every pack from the very first in this order overwriting with each new update:

 

Football Manager 26 - BETA 3D Stadium Megapack - v1.1.1

StadiumUpdate_v1.1.2

StadiumUpdate_v1.1.3

StadiumUpdate_v1.1.4

v1.2.0

v1.3.0

v1.4.0

 

I added them all and it worked well and I see Chelsea's Stamford Bridge. But sadly Ibrox keeps the game crashing. Also Ibrox from the original pack is extremely out of date mate.

 

You should contact a guy on FIFA Manager 2025 - Released! | Page 5 | Soccer Gaming called Dmitri. He added literally every single stadium for most country's top to lower leagues, for FIFA Manager and I believe like you many were imported from PES Community. But he has mastered all the updated textures for the likes of Ibrox and Chelsea etc., as well as lighting. You can download the stadium pack from this link mate that has the newer stadium models.

 

Cheers Bass.

Do you need both 1.3 and 1.4 for this to work? Are they both put in the same place and in the same manner?

 

An other subject - will it be any flags, tifos and the like within the project of making crowds better? It would greatly enhance the experience - say you play a derby in Athen, Istanbul and for not mentioning between Boca and River for instance!!!

hi Bassy , lots of micro stutters while playing with west ham`s london stadium , should i update to 1.4 ? thanks

i did remove completely 

play match

copy 1.3 got stuck turned off av game loaded didnt check ground or play match 

overwrite with 1.4 with AV disabled to avoid the file copy issue

played match got the normal grounds but bipex loaded

turned on av get stuck again at and freezes the entire screen when trying to load so cant open any programs from task bar unless i use second monitor 

Liverpool save 

 

 

Right updated to 1.4 with AV turned of to avoid the file copy issue it now loads but takes about 5 mins

 

played game get this

 

 

 

fixed it when i disabled norton auto protect and firewall

correction it now stops here with the loading creen up rather than nothing at all

Right i completely removed the files from game folder started game played a match worked fine, reinstalled a freshly downloaded v1.3  still stuck at the 

after 10 mins also added file exclusion for the one norton was flagging so not missing any files that it shifted to quarantine

@BassyBoyYT my man, curious to know if there will there be a livestream on your YT channel this evening?

 

might need to postpone some activities 🙂 hahahaha

then it must be a File from the Stadium Pack. When i cut out the Stadium Files, then start the game normal

Hi, my FM also dont wont start with V 1.3 or 1.4 😢

Is there a workaround to start the game or do we have to wait for a hotfix or something else?

Thanks. The instructions need to be updated, maybe this is why others are having problems (I know i'm late to the party).

think is broken unless 20 mins is expected 🤣 still leaving it will see if it ever runs

I just tried, to go inside the folder and copy the files directly into it, but still the same issue.

stuck here now after updating to the 4.1 version

after the update of the game i get these now 

 not updated to the the 1.4 version of the mod yest 

Ouu thats cool, so its gonna be in your next update?

Dear @BassyBoyYT ,
I registered on the forum specifically because I wanted to thank you for your work, your diligence, and your attention to detail. I haven't tested your stadium project files yet because I don't have the fm26 game yet. I don't just want to say thank you, but also ask you from experience to take your time and not let yourself be rushed by others who can't wait for the files to be adjusted. From experience, I can tell you to look after yourself and take it step by step. The joy of the work should remain in focus and not become a possible compulsion just to satisfy the impatient. Another thought is the question of how much others can support you in your work so that you don't have to work on the project alone. After all, there are many people here in the forum who would certainly be willing to help. This might increase the chance of working together on other projects, namely the turf project and the project on audio in the game. Isn't the “fm match labs” project working on the topic of audio in the game? (anthems, goal sounds and more…)

Best regards!

Hola Bassy, wow what a nice update!!! One report more from Old Trafford behind the Goal is allways empty now crowds?  Is it allready announced to you?
