#837158 Strange Transfer Restriction in Peru after Installing the Data Update

Hi, thanks for the reply.

After further testing, I think I’ve narrowed it down to the “changes” file in the Sortitoutsi Data Update.

When I load the update without the “changes” file but keep all the other Sortitoutsi files active, I can sign players without any issues. However, as soon as I enable the “changes” file, this transfer restriction appears.

What’s strange is that in the editor data selection screen, the “changes” file doesn’t even show the Peru flag (so it shouldn’t be affecting Peru’s advanced rules), yet somehow it’s introducing this limitation for Peruvian clubs.

So it seems that the “changes” file is indirectly altering Peru’s rules — even though it’s not flagged as doing so — and this doesn’t happen in the base game or with the rest of the update’s files alone.

Do you know if there’s anything in “changes” that could be unintentionally causing this?

I’ve come across a strange transfer restriction in my FM24 save after installing the Sortitoutsi Data Update (and possibly other related files).

When managing in Peru (Liga 1), I get the following message when trying to sign certain foreign players:

“Cristal can only sign foreign players over 25 years old if they have previously been registered with another top division club.” or “Cienciano can only sign foreign players over 25 years old if they have previously been registered with another top division club.”

 

This rule does not exist in the base game database or in real life Peruvian football regulations, yet it still appears in my save.

Here’s what happens:

I can’t sign Felipe Vizeu (28 years old, playing in Brazil’s Serie B) or Igor Morais (26, ex-Corinthians/São Paulo).

The same restriction appears if I manage other Peruvian clubs like Melgar, so it’s not club-specific.

When I run the game with the vanilla FM24 database, I can sign all these players without problem.

 

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an intentional addition in the Data Update, or could it be a mistake? Where exactly can I find and remove this in the Pre-Game Editor?

Thanks in advance for any help!
