The Modelcitizen Activity
Updated the OP with the option of an alternate version where the Euro 2028 hosts play a four-team Nations Cup in 2027 to make up for missing out on Euro qualifying.
Ahh yes records need to be inputted in order to be overwritten. I'm not sure if just setting it to “none” will help, I'll try that. I wonder if the overachiever/underachiever is from the final only, because the other stages are sort of their own comp...
@Anben10 Try it now, I've gone with the separate comps inside the main competition (similar to how MLS Cup is used within the MLS playoffs but playing with some of those checkboxes for best effect). It's showing up under “Landmarks” so should function a b...
TCM is a diff guy who does graphics, lol, but yes it's confusing. It didn't award the trophy? I'll take a look but I believe a team needs to have their league active to see their honours like that
The .lnc files in “lnc/all” you can just open in notepad and see what they do. Some only change stuff in other languages but others clearly do fake name stuff. As for the .dbc files are harder to figure out though
Yeah, isn't it still the same file name? The latest one is the only one you need for Intercontinental Cup, running both might just confuse the game
It's the same file, just updated. But yeah only run one of my Intercontinental Cup files. I'm adjusting it now too since they announced the actual Qatari stadiums and kickoff times, will re-upload over it again in a few mins
I think I've got the trophies added with “stage actions” now, but yeah I think I did have it like that with the competitions specified too at one point, can't remember why I changed it. Will do some more testing this weekend
Thinking on @Anben10's comments a bit further, do people actually prefer the separate “cups” (Derby of the Americas, Intercontinental Cup etc) as separate competitions? It would be a bit hectic with them all being set up/drawn in quick succession but shou...
Updating the file so that San Diego join in 2024 and get the expansion draft in December 2023, although you can't add yourself as their manager until Jan. 1, 2024 so you have to leave the expansion draft to the AI. This way you can click the box to stop t...
Hmm yeah maybe I could use a similar mechanism to have it add an entry for the Club World Cup history despite that remaining active as a separate tournament. Even though this would mean you'd have like two winners in 2025
Each stage has its own records? I did set it up as different stages so that you can “win” the Challenger Cup etc (looks like they are unique trophies in real life) but it's at the expense of the bracket and all the other benefits from keeping it as one st...
Oh damn I changed it so the draw would show before the teams were known but didn't test far enough ahead clearly, thanks for letting me know. Will revert to an older one while I figure out what happened
I don't really do commissions or anything but feel free to DM me or make some suggestions, could be nice to have a new project for the last few months of FM24
Cheers, happy to help with any advice if people want to sort the Leagues Cup, Open Cup etc to accommodate the extra team without bumping anyone
I think it's more of a common courtesy in the modding community here than any issue of mine, but yes, please don't throw my files and graphics into your pack, you can always include a link to them (they're here on SortitoutSI already) with instructions fo...
FYI to others - I wouldn't recommend using the Leagues Cup file he's posted, there's a chance each season it will brick the whole season unless it's used in unison with my files, there are some changes in both that rely on each other
Heya - please don't report my work without credit! Cheers
Is this original work
Yeah, you can't just repost my Leagues Cup file, and definitely not without credit. I mean, you haven't even attempted to disguise it, lol, other than adding 003 to the filename? And if you've stolen my trophy pack and anything else in the graphics,...
It would be a lot of work for sure, I might consider releasing a version like that at some point. My next big project might be switching MLS to a fall/spring season first though
Check it out https://sortitoutsi.net/content/67383/auckland-fc-to-the-a-league
I swore I saw one on here but can't find it now. I might put something together over the next few days and see if it breaks any of the A-League functionality
Double check they aren't kicking teams out of World Cup/confederation championship qualifying btw, I think some tournaments just grab teams by getting the best teams from a continent with “world governing body member” checked (might be too many now)
There's no need, you don't need to start a new game or anything. If I notice something like a team moving to a new stadium, San Diego signing people, a competition's rules being announced, etc, I'll add it. Just general QOL updates when I'm bored at my co...
Actually I can see they still have $0 GAM if you start in Feb '23. You can still trade picks etc. Will see if I can give them a transfer budget too
The first window transfer ban might be causing it - normally it's good for MLS but since SD need players it might be better to allow that window
Working fine for me - can you describe your setup in terms of start date, any unrelated transfer files etc you're running? Wonder if there's another DB that's causing a conflict
Oh sh*t, for real? Have you checked the box to not allow the first transfer window? It was working when I tested it, but might need another look
It's flexible and can be used with or without the extra team! So with or without my expansion. In that case it would just help with some of the hosting and prize money to make it more realistic. Thanks for checking in
Added San Diego FC from the first season (6 players signed so far, so a chance to mostly build your own team with MLS' transfer rules). Get the graphics again, or at least the San Diego FC folder in there, along with my Leagues Cup file (backup...
Why 2024? Won't the big teams be drained by Euro/Copa America call-ups?
Actually the last update made it impossible to verify this IIRC, maybe they somehow added that change too but either way not sure I can fix it
WTF, I have no memory of that, lol, no idea why that's there. Will take a look and remove it. BUT isn't this file no longer necessary, I swear they dealt with the fitness/CWC bug in the official patch in April? Let me know if not. Also have a smaller 16-t...
No but FM24 is cheap now, alternately you can try this one
Updated with some rivalry info tweaks based on recent surveys that were done for D2 and D3 teams. Also made MLSNP scheduling and playoffs for 2024 and onward largely accurate (except no “pick your opponent" for the top playoff seeds like they have IR...
Check out the optional transfer file in the OP, this is not entirely realistic but sets a transfer embargo for the D2 and D3 teams until after the first MLS draft - this means they won't poach the best USL2 and MLS NEXT talent, at least until after the fi...
Cleaned up some NISA scheduling, added some attendance figures for some NPSL teams (for their cup games at home), made it so NYC play a few home games at Citi Field in 2023 like IRL. Really minor stuff like that. Trying to do one now where one of the LA d...
Is there an option in the editor to preclude that? I thought I tried all the different ways to tell the game that there's no promotion, but it's like the game's contract negotiation AI just can't grasp that there are lower division that don't involv...
NISA is in there. You might mean NPSL. Honestly, at such a low level the stats are so low and the AI coaches act weird so it's almost meaningless to play, other than to get to play with your local team. Plus, enabling all those extra teams means they raid...
Nice!! The user Gum at the SI forums did most of the awesome work with stadiums on the file, including with the stadium editor, but that was nearly a year ago now so the more recent news wouldn't have been included. I think I recently added Detroit's plan...
I don't see why not, if they haven't touched competition structures or done things like made clubs extinct, it should work fine. Although all of the transfer/contract changes will likely mean some MLS teams are over the cap now
The last one was just changing the USL Cup knockout rounds to no extra-time (straight to PKs), because they finally played them IRL (for the first time) and there was no extra-time. There is no “last update” in that sense, if it becomes apparent something...
Which stadiums? Casement Park and Windsor Park?
Download link on the right. This is for FM23 mind you, you might be able to port it over to FM24 but the U19 division would probably be messed up as h*ll and there would be a bunch of new people who would need the second nationality added
