I tired opening these files with Silo years ago, I could only get 1 file to open and the model in the file was locked for editing. Good luck!

The stadium models are kept within the simatchviewer.fmf file (kept in this location; C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2021\data). You will need to use the FM Resource Archiver to extract this folder. The file extensions of the stadiums are .sia and and .jsb

There are no options to do this within the editor. Sigames use their own bespoke software to create stadium models and so far no commercially available 3D programs have been able to open these files.

There is nothing I can do to the Mercedes-Benz Arena, it is as close to looking like the real life stadium as FM21 will allow.

It‘ll be included as part of the latest adboard patch update at the end of the month

I've played around with the stand sizes and even at a capacity of 100 the exits remain im afraid

If there is anything you think needs changed let me know, unfortunately it is not possible to increase the length of the side stands so it looks a little disjointed

For some reason one of the corners wont show the roof, but ¾ is better than nothing

You're welcome.

If it is working with the other xml file then folders are not an issue, it is an xml error but I cant find any errors in the xml file… strange!

I have decided to add stadium edits to the adboard patch, they now have thier own thread here: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/58086/stadium-edits-fm21

Alian62 over on the Sigames forum has discovered a hidden stadium editor within FM21, while it is very limited, it does help add an extra layer to the 3D match engine. I have had a play around with it and have decided to include some stadium edits within the adboard patch, Please direct any questions about these to this thread: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/58086/stadium-edits-fm21

here are some examples

The stadium editor is accessed via the FM21 editor place the attached file into this directory in order to unlock it; C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2021\data

Once in the editor search for a stadium and access the new stadium sides panel. through this menu we can add and remove stands, set a stand to be a terrace or all seater and add or remove roofs. This is all we can do though, we cannot change stadium models/textures, add or remove tiers from stands, add boxes/tv screens or have stands at different heights and/or lengths.

From playing around with the editor I have the following observations:

• When changing a stand, it works best to remove all details effectively resetting that stand to 0, then making your changes.
• When editing a stadium the capacity of all 8 stands must match the actual stadium capacity.

Here is a map of which stand is which 

I am prepared to take requests for these but it is strictly limited to 1 stadium per person, also please note as these are done via a datafile they are not save game compatible.

Before requesting be mindful of the following

• Stadium models/textures cannot be changed,
• The number of tiers in a stand cannot be changed
• Boxes/tv screens cannot be added/removed
• The height and lengths of stands cannot be changed

Are you playing on an older version of Football Manager as your stadium model is very different to the Chelsea one in FM21?

I have just checked the ‘no clubs’ xml file and the Champions League video ads show for me, I have attacted my copy for you to try

I am not sure I understand your question.

You are having problems with the Champions League video ads when using the ‘no club’ xml file from version 1.1?

Does it work using the ‘clubs’ xml file?

For FM21 it is installed to V4, the location changed for FM21

The correct order is the first file (V1/0) and then the 3rd file (V1.1) on the graphic below, you do not need the 2nd file.

I have no idea, I have never used sounds within FM

It might be that SI are/where developing a stadium editor within the main editor and It’s not been released as it’s not finished yet.

To be fair to SI while their customer service Isn’t great some of the abuse they get on a daily basis on their forums is unacceptable (not by anyone posting on here)

A further trial this time with Hamilton Accies, 1 side stand removed and the goal ends switched giving Hamilton their 2-sided stadium

it looks like FMRTE has same options as this method but with a much more user friendly layout. However, the obvious benefit of this method is changes will be applied to all new games while with FMRTE changes will only work within 1 game

Alian62 over on the Sigames forum has discovered a hidden stadium editor within FM21, it is very limited but could be a game changer, original thread here: https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/551501-stadium-editor

I've had a play around with it and managed the following so far:

Somerset Park: I have removed the corners at the main stand, changed the main stand from a terrace to seats, changed the stand opposite the main stand to a terrace and removed it's roof

Cappielow Park: I have made both goal end stands terraces, changed the main stand from a terrace to seats and removed the corners

I think you may be using the older xml files, I have attached the newest ones, try again with these

Can you post a screenshot of the following location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2021\data\simatchviewer_uncompressed\videos\hd\video_ads\europe\competitions\champions league

Thank you, yes the graphics folder for the Champions League should only contain 1file but the video ad folder should have 7.

Thank you, as far as I know the corner flags run of a fixed template, similar to the in game fan flags, so they are not easy to change as you would have to change the files before every match

Can you provide some screenshots? also have you installed both V1.0 and V1.1 of the patch?

Thats odd, I'd suggest ‘verifying the integrity’ of the FM21 to see if that helps bit if its working for you now then I would'nt bother
