Cheers mate, I've found what seems a slight workaround by experimenting.

So I downloaded the latest update from this site, then I deleted all the fmf files in the C:\Users\k13hc\OneDrive\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data but I put my edited fmf (“Classic FM - Changes”) onto my desktop.

Then inserted all the new files from the zip into the editor data folder, dropped my edited fmf (“Classic FM - Changes”) into there also.

Started a brand new game, selected all the fmf files APART from the new “sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Player Attributes.fmf” and when it loaded up my changes were there so fingers crossed that stays as is going forward.

Appreciate the lesson in editing, thank you.

Once again really appreciate you responding and going into detail thank you.

Let me get this right in my small brain - when setting up a game and selecting data files I want to use, then any data files at the bottom of the list will take prefereance / be applied last? 

So were I to give Harry Maguire 20 pace or 20 finishing and 190 PA in the last file in the list then when I start a new game and that fmf file is selcted it will reflect those silly attribute updates.

In that case could I take the fmf file I made all my alterations to (“Classic FM - Changes”) and rename it to add a Z to the front and then it would be appled last or is it not that simple?

When you mention appending my alterations into the 'Classic FM - Non Dynamic Data.fmf’ do you mean merging them together?

(I've seen the “merge data” option but never attempted to do it)

Or do you mean just open my amended fmf in pre game editor, look at the list of changes and manually write them down in readiness to do it again on the new si.net update.

I think your reccomendation (#2) of downloading the latest fresh update and making my own file might be the easiest thing to do, because its the most up to date info plus my laptop is painfully slow when using pre game editor if im amending one of the large files like Non - dynamic or payer history fmf.

I've never made one from scratch before so not too sure how to or can I just pick one of the smaller sized fmf files in the new “sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update” make my amends to that and do a save as and rename it “Zmy changes.fmf” ?

Applogies for all the questions I think that the last of them (hopefully), I just want to nail this down for future referance plus its a nice learning experience for myself! haha.

Thanks.

Hi mate appreciate the swift reply.

Its purely been player attribute changes, CA / PA changes, positional amends etc, as I say I loaded up in editor the “Classic FM - Changes” fmf file as that seemed to make the most sense to edit. 

So after a while to test if the edits were working I loaded up a new game using that file I amended and all the fmf files in my orginal screenshot (none of the optional dynamic) and all my changes seemed to have worked, I then spent another hour or so (my laptop struggles with the size of the classic fm - changes fmf), I saved it again then put the laptop to one side.

Later that evening I decided to do some more editing but out of curiosity loaded the “Classic FM - Transfer Clauses” fmf in editor and my laptop didnt struggle or pause when browsing through that so I made some further attribute changes to that fmf file, saved it then decided I was satisfied with all my edits and finally start a brand new save but when it loaded I looked and it seems not all of the amends I'd made originally to the  “Classic FM - Changes” fmf were still on there.

I'm thinking maybe I should have made all my personal edits to only the one fmf file (“Classic FM - Changes”), the changes are still made to that fmf file when I load it up so im wondering if there's anything I can do to bring them to the fore shall we say when starting a new game?

Thanks

Looking for a bit of advice and bear with me as im a slight newbie.

I've bought and downloaded the latest enhanced data update, decided to make my own custom edits  but wasnt sure which fmf file to use as there's quite a lot of them in the zip file.

Chose the most logical fmfm file “Classic FM - Changes” , spent a few hours then loaded up a game and it looks like some changes have been implemented but some have not.

Any idea why? 

I'm guessing there's some conflicts due to the ammount of fmf files which are being used but is there any way to bypass the conflicts so that the most recently modified fmf file (the one i made changes to) is the one the game takes the player attributes from.

*tried my best to explain that as best possible, basically I want to make my own amends and looking for guidnace on how to make them come up in a new game.

Thanks.

I think I've cracked it, thank you mate.

Yeah the players appear in the game now but have no profile photo's even after reloading skin etc. (Chido is doubled but I'll use the in game editor to remove 1 of his profiles)

On the read me file it mentions manually adding numbers to the faces, I tried this by renaming the image of chido to his unique ID number but it still didnt work. (I only tried it with 1 image first as a test)

I already have a folder Graphics / Faces (See attached) so placed the images individually into my faces folder but it didnt work.

So I then put the faces folder from the download into the faces folder I already have? So - Graphics / Faces / Faces and that hasnt worked.

Sorry to be a pain mate, I read the “Read me” file but im a bit uncertain what to do? When I've dropped the images into the Graphics folder nothing happens, im reluctant to drop the config file into there in case it overwrites the config file already in the Graphics folder.

Much appreciated mate!

Appreciate the reply but whether im confident to contribute is personal preferance. I know its open to anyone as you state but I just personally wasnt comfortable attempting that so that is why I chose to post on here for the first time… cheers though.

I assumed he was too young when the game was built but there's been mutliple updates since so I would hace thought he'd be added to the Arsenal squad in subsequent updates but clearly not.

That passion4fm link is great thanks, have a good day mate. 

Thanks mate I cant find him in the game playing for Arsenal to transfer him over to Utd myself in the editor either, so im wondering if he's even in the game unless i've missed him or opened the wrong data file.

I'm an absolute newbie at this so wasnt confident to try the contribute bit. haha

I cant seem to find this guy on here or in the latest update? He's recently signed for Man Utd from Arsenal, I thought he'd be on here as he's highly rated and 16 year old….
