I have the latest bassy download (which I believe is 2.3 from his Patreon account).  I don't have a number pad on my laptop unfortunately.  No dramas though.

Just one thing I noticed, playing a pre-season evening game (I tried the first three stadiums on the list) -  102967:vasil_levski_2.bundle / 
1300185:gerena_reworked.bundle & 7500306:razgrad.bundle, and it was an evening game, and the pitch light will need altering.  Attached are two images of the latter two stadiums to show what it looked like.  I am sure they are totally fine for day time games, in fact I will check that out with another save I have.

Regards,

Stuart

Good work fella.  Looks decent from the imagery.  Well done.

@Hadesoria I have created an AFC Richmond fans kits mod - attached to this.  Let me know if you want help as to where to put it.

In essence, drop it into this location ……  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26\BepInEx\plugins\CrowdInjectV2\Kits\England

Just make sure that the folder name is called Richmond. 

Mixture of AFC Richmond jerseys, along with fan worn tees created by myself.

Use Selhurst Park, as that is what was used in the series.  You will just have to put up with the Palace flags and stuff though.  To change it, you will need to go to the team.mappings.txt doc.  In the AFC Richmond mod I created.  The stadium id is 2000516156.  So I added a line of code in the team.mappings doc to show 2000516156:selhurst.bundle  

This way that stadium i.d will use selhurst as the stadium in-game.  

If you are playing another mod created by someone else, just check in-game what the respective stadium i.d. is.  Important to add, it is the stadium i.d. not the club i.d., as it will need to be mapped to the stadium to work.

Hopefully that makes sense?

Try this - Copy out the bassy stadium files onto your desktop from the location that they should be in (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26).  

Load up the game again and go into a saved game.  

Close, then put the folders back in the position again and it should run after a bit of a pause.

The files you move out are - attached below. 

Good luck.  Worked for me.

If you have FMRTE.  You can look up the player id’s on there and just make the edits on the config file yourself.  Quite straight forward really. 

Hi mate, if you send me on a DM your saved game file (which you should find at:   C:\Users\xxx\OneDrive\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\games  - it should be an .fm file. I will then sort out the faces so that they all match up.  The issue is, every time someone generates new players, the player/staff id's can alter, dependent on the new gamer's files and database that they have uploaded.

Nottingham Forest.  However, if you wish to change that, download the mod.  Load up this file in the pre-game editor, and just swap the teams that you want in the top division, i.e. Wolves for Forest (as an example).

Hey pal, apologies if I have missed it somewhere but are you able to cover in a little detail what the wallpaper options are?  Many thanks in advance.

Download the free view camera and that gives you more options to see the game well.

I've just tested mine at Stadium of Light and there were no issues with mine.  There must be a conflicting folder structure somewhere …………

https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm26-camera-mod-by-exius.html - download this mate, it gives you far more flexibility with camera views.  Bassy is aware of the mainly broadcast camera angles (usually affecting Brentford / Bournemouth), which seem to affect those with a low roof over the main stands.  It is on Bassy's ‘to do list’ but this is a massive undertaking for just one person, whilst having a full time job as well, so people will need to be patient.

Go to this location (or wherever you have loaded them to), and just remove the four loose folders, and the two others, as highlighted in my attachment.

Mine are to be found at:-

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26

Doesn't work for FM26, as backgrounds as we were used to them, is not at this stage possible.  Hence the lack of variety of skins out there, which usually enable the background pictures.  Hopefully someone will figure it out, as the stadium and city background pictures certainly added to the game.

Here are home and away one pal.  Hopefully hammer can do the honors with the third one.

Yeah, have to agree.  I am still playing my Malta mod but struggle to get a campaign going as there are still too many issues with the actual game mechanics.  Spend more time doing kits and making sure other mods are added to make it bearable currently.

I have noticed the white seat issue too, with a test on Arsenal and Everton.  I am sure bassyboy will issue a fix in due course.

Yes would be good to know, thanks in advance Dale.

Glad to hear that. Enjoy 

That is Chris Powell.  Ex player and commentator / pundit in the Ted Lasso series.  I had him in the mod as a scout. 
 

Do you use FMRTE at all?  It will be able to tell you her unique id that way.  Alternatively, send me your game save via a message, and I will re-align the right faces.  Won’t be done until tomorrow at the earliest if you choose this option. 

If you click on show player / staff id’s on preferences in game.  Notw down the number and manually change the config file to match the in-game numbers.  It should only be the last four digits to change on each one.  Save config file.  Close down game and re-load, that should solve the issue.

This is well worth the download.  Need a relatively decent machine to run without lagging, but it really assists with the immersion into watching a 3d game.  Best mod out there.

Well done bassyboy.

Phil, if you send me your save game file on a PM, I will sort out the player/staff faces for you.

Regards,

Stuart

Add an r- to the player line in config.  In essence, the new player/staff faces config file has the added ‘r-’ prior to unique player code line, so it now should read ……….

<record from="2002042512" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002042512/portrait"/>
 

The ‘r-’ doesn't get added to the actual player/staff picture.

I think there is an error with this.  I replaced it with the game one and it worked.  That ruled out other downloads that I have, it must be this one.  If you didn't save it …. here it is to revert back …..

Not possible at this time.  No skin makers have identified a way to have them, like we were used to in FM24.  I hope this changes in the future, as the current options aren't great in FM26.

I actually managed to solve the issue.  I had the 3d kits folder inside the kit folder, as I have done before in FM24.  Moving the folder straight into the graphics folder and calling it kits 3d did the trick.  Also making sure that if you have both 2d and 3d kits, they are name differently. 

If you send me private message your game file, I will make sure face pack aligns with your player id's.  As I said, dependant what other databases have been loaded up, that can affect the newly generated player unique id no's.

Are you talking about the manager picture? I think that was removed for FM26 by Sports Interactive and I hope it is something they bring back into the game.
