Very well explained @M.C 👍

I haven’t read that myself to be honest, I'm sure the creators will be able to explain better - but the “Non Dynamic Data”  file definitely contains upgraded CA/PA and the “New Players” file is there to overwrite the original.

New players (mainly youth players) were included in the “New Players” file a while back but were then all moved to the main “Changes" file - the “New Players” file was left in there but blank, so it would overwrite the original and avoid duplicates/conflicts between the files.

Ideally you would use all the files as they come downloaded, but there are optional ones for “Player History” and “Dynamic Data” depending on how you want to play the game - but if you install the files as intended, you should have fairly updated players, at least as from last season.

Woltemade has definitely had some sort of upgrade from what I can see….the default FM database has his current ability (CA) as ‘113’, but this update has his CA at '138’ - but again that is likely based on last season, not fully reflecting his big money move to Newcastle.

Hi - it will be the “Non Dynamic Data” file that updates a players CA / PA based on the previous and current seasons.

The “Optional Data Dynamic” files are random CA / PA for players, just to have something a bit different in game.

I would say though the “Non Dynamic Data” file hasnt been updated since 12th August by the looks of it, so there may still be a few players that havent been upgraded - most upgrades I think reflect last season and the season before, depending on the source

Hi, yes I did - it did seem to be other fmf/editor files conflicting with this ‘Data Update’. I had accidently renamed another transfer file, which was conflicting with this one, which is why I overlooked it initially, but removing everything I had from the ‘editor data’ folder, then only using this ‘Data Update’ - everything seemed to line up ok, as intended!

I had my own Premier League editor file, which I had done myself over the past couple of seasons. When I downloaded this update, I spent time removing changes within some of the files so it didn’t conflict with my own (or at least I thought it wouldn’t). When I started/tested a new save with my own ‘Premier League’ file and this Data Update (which I had tweaked to removes conflicts against my own file) it was showing end contract dates of newer transfers as 30/6/2024 as I had initially mentioned.

Somewhere along the line (either not enough coffee or too much) I had renamed my ‘Premier League’ file as the ‘Classic FM - New Players.fmf’, which I know is no longer used and only there to overwrite the original. So a new save was loading the ‘Data Update’ changes, along side ‘my changes’, mixed with the ‘contract/age’ changes file and it was throwing contracts dates all over the place….and as I didn’t realise my changes were still there (hidden under a new alias) and I tested a new save with unchecking the ‘+2 Age…’ file, I put it down to that file being the issue - but it's not.

Rule of thumb here is, same as my rule of thumb when I was 18 - don't mix your drinks, or files in this case!!! As @M.C  had mention initially the sequence of files is very important, and mix/matching files is only going to cause issues. The only way I got around this if I wanted to keep my personal ‘Premier League’ file, was to remove the matching changes within the ‘Changes.fmf’ file, then merge my own file into it, that way it would keep the file sequence and not mess up the contract dates etc….but that was only me spending time troubleshooting for own peace of mind.

Simple fix is, if you want to use this ‘Data Update’, clear everything out of your ‘editor data’ folder, extract the latest update from here into there, and leave as is….especially if you're not familiar with the files, how they work and how they are structured, and treat every “FM24 Update Pack” you find on the web as standalone, which is how most are intended to be.

Hope that makes sense and helps anyone having similar issues as in my part it was massively USER ERROR lol 🙃

Excellent work as always @bolid74 

Hi @bolid74 do you have Manchester United Away 25/26 with the PURPLE (aka Dark Plum) shorts rather than the WHITE from the ‘3D Kits Official Thread’ forum?

I belive by default the shorts are PURPLE (aka Dark Plum), and the alternative away shorts are the WHITE.

Thanks in advanced, and great work as always 👊🏻

@M.C and @Footygamer 

Thank you both for your feedback - I think I'll start afresh for the ‘editor data’ folder using only the files from the SORTITOUTSI Data Update - perhaps there is a duplicate or another anomaly somewhere that I may have missed (aka user error)!

Thanks again, and if I'm still having problems I'll come back with screenshots 👍

Hello!

I've noticed the ‘+2 Age and Contract Years.fmf’ file massively conflicts with the updated transfer/contracts changes file.

For example, if we take the Premier League - at the start of a new save, a lot of the newly transferred players from this summer have their contracts set to expire at the end of the first season (2024), and from what I have noticed, a lot of these newly transferred players are then just released after one season and the realism gets a little messy (for example Cunha, Mbeumo, Wirtz, Ekitike, Gyökeres, Zubimendi, Reijnders, Cherki - were all released at one point when test simulating the first season, amongst others)

I know it has been touched on from what I can see in the forum, and I know I can just remove/ignore the file when starting a new game, to not include the ‘+2 Age….’ file etc, but my question is, will there be a file that just includes “+2 age only” increase and ignoring the contract decrease changes?

From what I can tell it is the “contract” decrease in this file that is being prioritised over the ‘Changes’ file. I personally think on some level the contract decrease isn’t that relevant at this point in a 2-year-old database, but the +2 age increase is, especially when it comes to younger players already in game not being stuck in the U18 teams for 2 seasons lol!

Anyway, this is in no way criticism towards these files, as like many others, I fully appreciate the time and effort that goes into keeping the game as updated, and realistic as possible, but was just a query as to whether a ‘+2 Age Only’ file is in the works – assuming others are experiencing the same problem?!

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I don’t come on these forums too often and I did only find a few mentions of this issue from previous queries.

Much appreciated 😊

Much appriciated 👍

Excellent as always!

Does anyone have the 'KCC' file for this individual pack please…@giggsxbr maybe? 😉

Worth a shot….double check the ‘alternative kit number’ against the shorts in the in-game editor….ive fallen victim to this before where it was set to 4 and can sometimes happen when adding/removing kit objects in the in-game editor. Make sure its 0 against the default shorts.

Legendary status achieved 👍

Brilliant, thanks @bolid74 🔥

Hi @bolid74, great work as always buddy!

Do you have this with the black/carbon shorts please, as I believe the white shorts are the alternative/change version for this kit?!

No rush, just when you get a chance.

Cheers 👍

Legend, thank you 👍

Hello @bolid74 

I don't suppose you (or anyone) has this kit with the red/alternative shorts?

Appriciate it's late in the season, but I thought I had seen the alternative shorts image a while back….but guessing not lol!!!!

Smashed it once again 👊🏻

What about it?

You just take your time dude - 99.9% of people fully understand the time and effort you and other kit makers put in, and also have the patience to wait….it will be the same 0.1% of people who would complain and/or pester if kits were rushed and want tweaking left, right and centre!

Keep up the good work @bolid74 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

I had the exact same problem - and turned out to be the ‘config’ file from the stadiums background megapack - https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/17/sortitoutsi-backgrounds-megapack

The entire pack had one config file covering all the various graphics/folders - and if you go into the config file its a bit of a mind-field…..so I think there must be a command or line in the config file that is overrulling the default background interface which has only surfaced during the release update of FM23.

Assuming you have the same problem as me, simply remove the stadiums folder from ‘graphics' and reload the skin - see if that sorts the problem out.

I'd assume the problem going forward if you want to use these backgrounds would need to be looked into by the background megapack creators.

I guess this is the problem with re-using old config files from past FM releases lol.

Brilliant cheers mate 👍🏻

Brilliant, thank you….very much appriciated!!! 👍

Please can someone do the AFC Richmond kits and the new Wales 'World Cup' kits?

Images arent the best quality for the Richmond kits as they were taken from a recently released popular football game that rhymes with "bleeper plenty tea"….but you get the gist!! 😁

Thanks in adavance!

These are great mate!!!

Any chance the ‘Home’ colours could be a little lighter, and also the ‘Away’ altered as per picture attached? Also add the ‘Third’ if you get chance ;-)
