#861214 TinyHips' Dark Mode Skin v5.3 [Win + Mac] *NO LONGER SUPPORTED*

This is great. I'm on Mac and it took me a couple of times to get it right, as I think there might be a slight mistake in the list of files it replaces. But in the end, I made a copy of my entire StandaloneOSX folder, stuck it on my desktop for safe keeping, and then just copied all the files and replaced. It has worked perfectly. Previously, I had gone through each of the listed bundles, and put .backup after them before pasting the files. I think it meant that one was changed to .backup that shouldn't have been. Anyway, all working well now!

#854174 Save lineup?

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I know it was missing from the first release, but was supposed to have been added in the update. I can however only save one lineup. Very frustrating as I'd just gone through and put in 6 (top half home; top half away; bottom half home; bottom half away; rotational; youth) before I noticed that each one I saved wiped out the previous.

 

Mac by the way, not sure if that makes a difference.

Hello.

I've had a proper look around, I promise, and can't find confirmation of this anywhere. I'm planning on getting the enhanced data update, but will start a new game properly after the January window. Does the payment count for just the latest download, or give you access to download again and again. I fancy downloading it now to have a look around and a casual play, but just want to know if I'll have to pay again in Feb - which is fine if so, but would like to know.

Cheers, 

#791657 Wages problem

I had a quick look and couldn't see anybody else raising this, so apologies if I'd missed it.

 

Just in the summer 2026 transfer window, and suddenly I can only offer severely limited wages, despite having plenty of wage and salary room, plus money in the bank. I'm in Spain, so I thought at first it might be related to the salary cap, but I checked and have plenty of room there too. I even added a new manager to another club in another league to see if it was just me, but they had the same problem.

 

I managed to sign a couple of players during the second half of the season to join in the summer, and that was no problem. I think it might have started on July 1, because the first time I noticed was when I tried to offer a contract to a Brazilian whose contract was coming to an end in 6 months. I can't go above £5.25K/ week.

 

It's also not to do with squad status, as I tried a few other offering different status and it was still the same limit.

 

Anybody else encountered this, and more to the point, does anybody have a fix!? If it turns out to just be this window, I think I can live with it, but any further and that'll end my game as I can't offer my current players the right wages either.

This is a weird question, but when do you actually see the international kits…? The national team General Info screen is of course different from the club teams. I'm sure they're there somewhere, but I can't remember where at all…

Had to cut that wage bill down. Losing some 3star prospects is difficult to stomach, but I have to look at the big picture.

On the incoming side, taking advantage of my new link with Bristol City. But also been screwed over by a season ending injury to Ryan Glover. Delighted to get to the stage where I could actually spend some money, and Elliot Whitehouse has already cemented a place in the team. 

After starting the season with my job under threat, we're now on an 8-game winning streak and have risen to second going into January. When everybody is fit, we line up like this. Having previously tested 442, 4231 and 442 diamond earlier in the season.

Annoying that my two best players, Ralph and Clifford (the latter of which missed the first few months of the season) are both left back. Might start to move Ralph central, but he's deadly storming up the wing.

Don't know if it is of interest to anybody, but I made a couple of Fantasy Charlotte FC kits, as they don't have any yet.

 

#556013 Trevor Birch

Would you say Trevor Birch or Steve Hirchen is more suited to this role - both are in game?

Just looking at what their responsibilities are, Hitchen seems to have been promoted from Chief Scout to Director of Football. He's in charge of recruitment throughout the club.
Birch is more finance focused by the looks of things, but does sit on the transfer board with Levy, Hitchen and Rebecca Capelhorn. It's not an active and recruitable role in FM though. Same as Capelhorn, who runs the governance side of things.

I think Birch and Hitchen have been allocated the wrong roles by @Mustang13297 in the latest updates.

This is a Director of Football role, in relation to how the DoF works on Football Manager

Although his job title is Director of Football Operations, this is more of a Director role. Perhaps an argument could be made for Technical, but really this isn't a hands-on role in the FM sense

This is actually an error with the official update, but I can't find how to submit this particular one via the updates.
Lucas Cavallini of Vancouver Whitecaps has been given a full time contract, rather than a Designated Player. That means that he is automatically released on a free transfer as soon as the game starts, if you start outside MLS registration windows, as it is against squad registration rules.

I understand that you can't use another update, but does this include the real name fix? Should I unselect those files too?

Link to source picture: two possibilites. One might be too small though, and the other might be missing too much of his head...

All 3 images are too small really. I can't get the first one to look decent. The last 2 are border line.

That's great though. Thanks very much

Hi
I'm hoping I'm not one of these annoying people asking for a player already here, but I've had a good search and can't find these three anywhere. I'm sure I'm up to date on the Megapack (downloaded 4 in its entirety last year and have updated each update since), but these three Spurs youngsters aren't there. If they are meant to be, apologies. I don't think they are though.
