There are so many great creations out there! I thought it might be interesting for you to know, which files I personally use in combination with my "Increase-Realism"-Megapack.Update 13.10.23I recommend that you use the file under this link for Saudi Arabia. There you already have Al-Ahli in League 1.

https://www.fmscout.com/a-saudi-arabian-leagues-fm23.html

I removed DaveTheEditor's Saudi-Arabia file from the download.

Update 22.09.23The file "France (League) within the sortitoutsi update was updated a couple of days ago. The latest file is buggy as you can read here:https://sortitoutsi.net/content/63423/french-league-unavailableIf you have started your save with the file which was updated on 5th September, you're fine. If it's the current file in their download-link, I would start a new save without that file.Update 06.09.23I have re-designed the list to be more clear which files are compatible and which aren’t.

Please Note:

1. This is a list of files which I personally prefer, so it's mainly my own preference. But those files are included into my testing series so I can ensure almost 100% that they are compatible under each other aswell as with my megapack. If a file of another creator get's updated after the last update of this list, files might not be compatible anymore. I'll check that once a month.

IMPORTANT: Only one additional file which isn't on this list can be an issue. If you found an issue and write me a message, please ensure that no other files were used. Otherwise I can't really help to solve the issue.

2. If you think I have missed something important or a certain file doesn't work (Could happen if the creator updates it's files) please let me know!

3. I only link to the files, no direct download. Big thank you to all those creators for their work!

4. A lot of people wish to proper start the 23/24 season. This is NOT possible to get it 100% right.

5. I always test my files with the ones from DaveTheEditor. All other league files (lower leagues excluded) are only for "bridging" until DaveTheEditor releases his next update. The other files work, but maybe not all are perfectly balanced in terms of accurate in league rules etc.

6. There are now 6 custom extended setups available for all Patreons on Level 2+ which includes all files in this list.Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/fm23-custom-game-74809414

LEAGUE FILES DaveTheEditor’s Around the Globe Megapack https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/570642-fm23-aroundtheglobe-megapack-by-davetheeditor/

This megapack covers all nations in Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and Oceania. You can use all files in this download-link except the ones I’ve improved in my September-Update + Saudi-Arabia, which is linked at the top of this post.

nipunsdaddy

Im on level 2 and have a question. if i use your custom extended setup, i don't need to download other files, am i correct? they're already included, right bro?

daveincid

You have to download the required league files yourself. I do not host other peoples work. I only provide links to their work.

Comers Sila

I cant find some files. The following files by pr0 at fmscout: FM23 Other changes - not in 2.0 version FM23 Transfers - not in in 2.0 version or as an alternative you can use the transfer-file from sortitoutsi - cant find this file.

daveincid

The post isn't updated yet. As mentioned I'll do it 1-2 days after DaveTheEditor updates his league files

Comers Sila

Sorry, my fault, I wasn't paying attention.

Matheus Marinho

Pr0's files are not listed on the updated version of the post. Will this be updated further or should they not be used with this version of your files?

Hype

If the Japan file from Robbles Quin isn't updated yet, would the Japan file from Tenshi, whose files have been recommended on this post as well, be a suitable replacement for the time?

daveincid

I'm currently testing several combinations. I'll update the post ASAP

Hype

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Happy easter :D

Y O

It'd be good to have the alternative link of Tenshi's leagues for those who will play the game on xbox game pass. I found it on Sortitoutsi but don't want to give the link here without your permission. I think Bartolomeus' leagues are only on Steam Workshop, so no luck.

daveincid

There won't be an "alternative link" of leagues or other files for xbox game pass. This list is for PC/Mac only. Sorry

Y O

I was talking about the Xbox Game Pass PC (Windows) version and not the console version. Actually, I was able to download it and can use the leagues now but I suggested it for the others to be able to download it without a Google search.

daveincid

I'm glad it worked! My point still remains, I can only recommend files I've tested and that's Football Manager on Steam/with steam-access.

Relaxinator1

Hi Dave, I have a question: There is a (- No UEFA Champions League changes in 2024 - File) out there. Is this one compatible with your recommend list of files. Thanks for every answer. Greetings

Relaxinator1

Ok, that's a shame, of course. But thanks for the quick reply. Then I guess I'll have to get 😅 used to the new system

witchplease

>MACL accurate adv 2023 (see pdf) What pdf are you referring to?

daveincid

pdf is not needed anymore. This file can now be verified in the pre-game editor without an error

witchplease

Cool thanks for the quick reply.

Y O

Would it significantly affect the realism if I play without the Caribbean Megapack? The author has not updated it, and I don't have the editor. Or would it be better to wait for the author to update it?

Cedinero

Can a May 2023 start really mess up a whole save?

daveincid

depends on your definition of what is messed up. To be clear: It is 100% not possible to start in the 23/24 season 1:1 as it is IRL with FM23.

Cedinero

Yeah I feel you, I just don't want any transfers until 23/24. I meant the whole thing with the CA, with older players being good for longer and young players losing a whole year of development.

daveincid

I'm working on something that helps to better replicate 23/24 season even when you start in season 22/23.

Cedinero

Know if it'll be out for the July beta?

daveincid

It needs testing first, so most likely in the August update

daveincid

The june update yes, the july update no

Cedinero

Would a September/October start with the first transfer window disabled disable the winter market? Then allow me to simulate up to Summer 2023 with no transfers before?

daveincid

As already written, I'm testing different thinfs how to get a more realistic scenario to replicate a start in 23/24 season. It just needs time. It's not my main project.

Sam_10

Can I use the sortitoutsi data update files with a all the promotions/relegations aswell?

daveincid

Generally yes, just keep in mind that the simulation won't be 100% accurate but this is only about details.

Cedinero

Hi, Selleck's Japan facepack no longer works together with all your files.

daveincid

Thanks for letting me know. There was probably an update of a file which causes that issue. I'll check that for the next update of the list.

daveincid

I've just checked it and there is no issue. You may have installed a file which isn't mentioned on the list. edit: it's due to the fact that karin (creator of the japanese players) made an update, so faces won't match anymore. It's not related to any other file. If we're lucky, selleck87 updates his facepack for the latest version, otherwise you need to play with the version which the facepack was made for

Y O

Hi Daveincid. I think you didn't see my question. Since the author still has not updated the files, I'd like to ask the same question again: Would it significantly affect the realism if I play without the Caribbean Megapack? The author has not updated it, and I don't have the editor. Or would it be better to wait for the author to update it? I'm also planning to play without Pre-season tourmanents by Zangelmi. Is that OK?

SMiThaYe

I'm already on a month old save thanks to your files it's a lot of fun, nice work btw!I've read nearly all of your posts, but I may have missed this bit as I've never done it: "A lot of files must be verified by yourself via the editor." Erm oops. No errors so I guess its fine??

daveincid

Thank you! No errors = you're fine :D

Nir Tzouk

having a problem loading italy's changes with sortitoutsi update.. Any idea?

daveincid

As written in the post, some league files of sortitoutsi may not be compatible.

Nir Tzouk

So in order to play with most recent transfer updates you recommend to untick your italy league rules fix and play with their update?

daveincid

It's a personal choice. it's up to you to decide what's more important👍

asyraf hisham

Hi Dave, do i need to install Around the globe pack if i have install database from the extended setup databse link?

asyraf hisham

Okay maybe thats why the error appeared like i mentioned previously

SMiThaYe

In the compatible files list I noted there's a "Achievements" file listed but couldn't find it on sortitout, what does this file do - is it for player career achievements?

daveincid

The file is included in the data update of sortitoutsi. It adds achievements of the 2022 WC

asyraf hisham

Hey Dave, i dont really understand, since all around the globe have all the nation, do i need to install other database on the list you provided; caribbean megapack etc? or all around the globe is sufficient?

daveincid

Around the globe doesn't have all nations. That's why I've tested other creators work.

asyraf hisham

I see. one more question, im not using steam, how can i download link that use subscribe in steam like Preseason pack by Zangelmi?

Josh Dyos

Regarding the non-compatible files with the sortitoutsi transfer update, is there any way around being able to have updated transfers for those leagues which are non-compatible? I understand the Italian one is due to the rule change fix, what about the other leagues and clubs. Are there other certain files of yours that I can choose to disable in order to allow me to have the latest transfers? Cheers. Edit: also, is this media pack (https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm23-media-overhaul.html) and this competition colour fix pack (https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm23-realistic-competition-colors.html) likely to have any clashes? Thanks again.

daveincid

The non-compatible files do not impact transfers.

Josh Dyos

Ah perfect. Thank you (I don't know why I had that mixed up - of course the transfers are in the changes file not in the individual league files).

Chilton

Hi Dave, Sortitoutsi added a Club Finances file to their data update. I assume this is incompatible?

LJ Cool L

Please forgive my compatibility question, but I feel like it's an important one: Given that DanFMDatabases' English Lower Leagues download is a featured add-on for Sortitoutsi, I was wondering if you had tested it with your realism database, and if it works or doesn't?

daveincid

It doesn't work with my performance files, but without them it should run fine

LJ Cool L

I was afraid of that.. I like your performance files too much to sacrifice them in favor of that lower league database. Thanks for your quick reply!

LJ Cool L

One more question Daveincid, because the Caribbean Megapack is outdated and unverified for the last patch, does Timo's North America and Caribbean set work it its place?

daveincid

I do not recommend Timo's. I only recommend files which I use myself.

LJ Cool L

Fair enough! In that case, do you recommend a good alternative without having to verify all of those files myself?

EBSSEPP

Thanks for the recommendations!

Pavel Kubíček

Tenshi has best DB for leagues. He really spend a lot of time with that.

Ansoni

Muchas gracias, agradecido siempre, saludos.

Dylan Gangat

Whats your guys thoughts on Riddlers databases?

Cedinero

Do I use both files for the Swiss league thing? And does the Germany thing only work with version 1?

daveincid

Only one, up to you which you wanna use. The germany thing? You mean the league file? That works for all versions

José Oliveira Silva

Hello, i think use FM23 DataTweaks) Enhanced Database from Sir Tavares, collapse with data's by pr0 u alredy tested?

daveincid

No, they are compatible. I took Sir Tavares file instead of pr0's wonderkids file because they contain more players.

José Oliveira Silva

Ok, i mean in the file "other changes", booth files have the same tweaks in description's in fmscout

daveincid

I've checked the changes in those files and they are also compatible
