I haven't played for the last couple of years, but recently I've been feeling the bug again and fancy getting back into it. I'd want to take Southend back into the league and up through.As I've been out the game, can anyone recommend tactics that will wor...

I've played CM/FM since about 98 but I seriously need some help here. I started up a nomad game and got appointed Man City manager on 3/July/2024. On paper I have an amazing team and squad. But I seriously underachieve. I'm not nearly as good a...

New skin makes no difference.

As per the in game screen shots there are logos some that are working, some that aren't working. Preferences are right too. I'll try a different skin.

There's the file path and the contents. I don't think it's that I installed wrong because it was fine before it went. Plug I have some logos, just not that one. I don't know what number Southend's is within the logopack so I can&...

I tried it with a different logo pack. Still the same.

I deleted and started from scratch yesterday, but I'll do that again now. I didn't realise the Palace kit was like that, fair play.

That's inside the folder. Is this alright? Otherwise let me know exactly what you need and I can send it. With the Palace kit there seems to be black swirls across the middle, but maybe that's only on mine.

And I'm not sure Palace's kit should look like that

It went without me doing anything. I changed my kits, but I don't know if it changed straight after changing the kit. Folder and screen shot attached. It's there for some but not others

I've lost my logo! I downloaded the new pack, cleared the cache and reloaded the skin. Any ideas? Ta.

Do you know how to sort out the Brazilian clubs three letter names? Ta

that's fixed it, thanks.

it's only weird with the default ones that are already on there. Just a case of waiting until the skins come out with the main release?

I put the Google earth images in the graphics folder, couldn't see to read anything. Now my skin is see-through and I can't see anything either. For the home and squad screens it has the start up in the dressing room. During a match it has the p...

I don't know where else to ask, is there a way to stop the backgrounds showing through the skin? I can't see the writing very well. ta

When I download this I'm asked to enter a password. Any ideas?

I think I put the editor data in the wrong place, in Programme Files rather than My Documents

Not a Mac, no. Hopefully these screen shots explain where I'm at

I'm not getting the option to do this, the database box is greyed out. Is that a Beta thing?

I've made the changes you said but the logos and that only work for non-premier league teams in England. Is that a Beta thing?

@Mons, you are a star! A legend in your own lifetime and a saviour to us all

That's the whole reason I'm doing my BETA as Chelsea!!

can you confirm where this goes? ta

got ya, thanks

..I'm not seeing this. can anyone give me very specific walk through of where it is? I've tried the tactics > players > position and it isn't there. I've looked on player instructions and it isn't there. You say it's at...

can someone confirm for me where to put these? thanks

can someone confirm for me where to put these? thanks

the problem was that last year I'd started the game before applying the solution, this time i got the solution then started a game. The pre-game and in game solutions are what threw me off

that's sorted it, sorry for me being blonde and that. Thanks

I've started a Test game so advise is much appreciated, cheers. I can change names in the editor if necessary but I don't want to miss one and spoil the whole thing. On that, when I start a new game do I need to select any of the custom databa...

what do you mean by that mate? i'll start a new game now

here you go mate, that's the path and the contents of the file.

not working still sadly. I'm not sure what I should be copying across to where. The German team is working but not the names. I'm only a few games into pre season with my first game so i'm happy to start that again but, from what i can see...

you said Edit: I see we've already had a very similar conversation earlier this year with the FM16 version of this file and that you eventually solved it, so make sure you do the same steps i've found the thread but can't find the answer

we did, but can you let me know the link? I did all this before starting a game. ta

It's not worked for me. I looked in the editor folder and the file is full of nonsense, any ideas what's gone wrong?

By mons | On 24 April 2016 - 10:10 AM BST Remember, you should only have those 3 files in there, and no more. Also, ideally, you delete the fake.edt and SI_team_holland files from the edt/permanent folders. the names are fixed, thanks for your help mate

By mons | On 24 April 2016 - 10:10 AM BST Remember, you should only have those 3 files in there, and no more. Also, ideally, you delete the fake.edt and SI_team_holland files from the edt/permanent folders. do i need to delete the FM and FMC folders?

By mons | On 24 April 2016 - 09:47 AM BSTIf the save game was started with a pre-16.3 database, then you need to make sure that the lnc files are also placed in the 1600 and 1601 lnc folder. yep, that's it. just a simple copy and paste of the 1630...

By mons | On 21 April 2016 - 14:50 PM BSTAs suspected, you've not installed the files correctly. Make sure you delete the 1630 dbc, edt and lnc folder and THEN put the ones from this download instead. i've done all that, and the fix in the fir...

By mons | On 12 April 2016 - 19:04 PM BSTYou've only uploaded a screenshot with the contents of the dbc folder, and not of the other folders I requested. It looks fine. I have no idea what "nonsense where it was once English" means tbh; ap...

By mons | On 12 April 2016 - 12:38 PM BSTLooks to me like you've not applied the files from this download correctly. Can you upload a screenshot of your 1630/dbc/permanent folder, your 1630/edt/permanent folder and your 1630/lnc folder? Also, the Br...

i started a new game relatively recently and the name fixes have broken, certainly on the German teams. i did the Brazil fix but that hasn't worked. Apologies if I've missed someone else giving the fix but I couldn't see anything in the c...

By mons | On 24 November 2015 - 22:30 PM GMTYou find the entry/ies you don't like, you select it, you press the delete button on your keyboard. Voila! and how do i find them to do that?

By mons | On 24 November 2015 - 17:59 PM GMTJust remove any entries which you don't want or like, and they'll take effect the next time that you load your save game. how do i do that? thanks

By mons | On 23 November 2015 - 17:35 PM GMTOpen the file using Notepad, then follow the instructions in the very first post. Should give you the correct club names that way. i didn't know about notepad. all good now, thanks very much, if anything i...

By Bearded Shrimper | On 22 November 2015 - 23:36 PM GMTi can see the file but i can't do much with it (apologies if i've missed the instructions) the German national team is working but the names aren't. any help would be much appreciated...
