FM24 "List of files I personally recommend for Football Manager 24"

🔧 My Personal Setup for FM24

🧠 Intro

There are so many great creations out there! I thought you might be interested in knowing which files I personally use alongside my “Increase Realism” Megapack.In the latest update of the list I've removed Nik33's agents pack and added a real media file. I've also added Fez's Enhanced Turf Textures.

I'm aware that there are other fancy files out there people want to use but either they are incompatible in general or they will come with bugs in one way or another. The focus of my list is being as bug-free as possible while adding the highest level of realism as possible.

⚠️ Please Note

This is a personal preference, based on what I use myself. However, all listed files have been tested for compatibility with each other and with my megapack.

If any of these files get updated after this list was updated, compatibility might break. I’ll usually review updates monthly and check all files for compatibility.

At this stage, the list is designed to play in "original mode"

I usually won't comment if other files are compatible which aren't on the list unless a simple "yes" or "no" answer is possible

🚨 IMPORTANT

Only one extra file not listed here can already cause issues. If you report a problem, make sure you're only using the files listed here — otherwise, I may not be able to help.

Think I’ve missed something important? Or has a file stopped working due to an update? Please reach out!

I link only to the creators’ pages — no direct downloads. Big thanks to all those amazing creators! 🙌

📁 External Files I Use

🛠️ Transfer update by pr0

This includes transfers of all major leagues + new staff and promotions/relegations.

Link: https://fmpr0.com/

Use the following files:

✅FM24 New Staff

✅FM24 Transfers

✅Belgium Promotions

✅Bulgaria Promotions

✅ Cypriot Leagues & Cups

✅ England-Comp Changes

✅ France Promotions

✅ Greek G Ethniki

✅ Hungary Promotions

✅ Injuries

✅ Other Changes

✅Saudi Arabian Leagues

✅ Serbia Promotions

✅ Slovakia Promotions

✅ Spain-Comp Changes

✅ Türkiye-Comp Changes

Do not use:❌ all other files, they may break the game.

🔧 +2 Age and contract years by sortitoutsi

For the best result, you need to merge the +2 age and contract years file with the transfer update by Pr0 ("FM24 Transfers (by FMTU)". This way you will get correct contract length and more realistic salaries.1. Load the +2 age and contract years file in the pre-game editor

2. Click on "file" in the right corner and choose "Merge Editor Data (Database Changes Only)"3. Select the file "FM24 Transfers (by FMTU)".4. Save the changes under a different name5. Delete the other 2 files from your editor data folder (2+ age and contract years and FM24 Transfers)6. Make sure you select the file you've saved under a specific name once creating a new save game7. Done

⚠️ It's important to first load the +2 age and contract years in the pre-game editor and not the other way around.

🔧 Licensing/Naming Fixes from fmscout

This includes real names for competitions and no more fake national teamsLink: https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-real-names-license-fix.html

🌍 LEAGUES – MasterIgor's Megapack

Website: https://master1gor.github.io/FMSites/FM24/

I've worked close with MasterIgor myself and provided feedback — so it’s very reliable.

✅ All continents covered — just make sure to read the README carefully

❌ Do not use the following leagues:BEL, BUL, CYP, FRA, GRE, HUN, ITA, KSA, NOR, ROU, SRB, TUR, CAN

✅ For Israel (ISR), use his file instead of mine — same fix included.

✅ For Brazil (BRA), use his file if you want to play lower leagues in Brazil but then delete my Brazil schedule fix. Otherwise I recommend to use my fix and delete the Brazil file.

Hey Daveincid, do the extended histories files work with your realism pack? Rob's Histories work with Fuller FM's, and Fuller's worked with your pack last year, so I'm assuming it should be fine, right?

daveincid

I haven't tested it yet but it should work

LJ Cool L

I noticed that the only file you left out of the sortitoutsi name fix pack is the Manchester Utd fixes file. Was that intentional? Or is that file okay?

daveincid

File is okay, I missed that one :D

Ryan Jones

Thanks for your work mate, You are legendary for doing this for us.

Js

thank you bro

LJ Cool L

Hey Dave, thanks for all your hard work! I was wondering if DanFMDatabases English Lower Leagues (the one featured on Sortitoutsi) works with your realism pack? I have never seen it added to your recommended files list, but I figured i would ask anyways.

Yannik Stracke

Do you only recommend the Asia and South America files by MasterIgor because you only tested these ones, did you just not update the list yet or are there other reasons for not recommending the other files?

daveincid

I haven't tested Oceania yet. They were just published a couple of days ago

Cedinero

I got two Guilherme Ruck. I just found that out and now my save is messed up. Also, Estevao is already supposed to be in the original database, why has he been replaced?

daveincid

I haven't added any new wonderkids in any of my files. This may be due to some duplicates in passion4FM's wonderkids file. If not, you may use another file which conflicts with files on my list.

Cedinero

I'm using all the files mentioned in the post. I'm using Passion4FM's file. You're saying it might be an issue with their own file? My bad then.

daveincid

yes. If that's already enough to "mess up" your save then you'll be most likely never 100% happy. My suggestion is (if you have the ingame editor enabled) to lower all attributes of the dublicated players to 1, so they are irrelevant in the game. Problem solved

Cedinero

Alright, I can confirm that the issue comes from Passion4FM's file, I already commented on their website. They also happened to remove original db's Estevao from Palmeiras and replaced it with their own. I'd suggest this file to be removed from this list until they fix it.

Cedinero

They fixed the file.

Cedinero

By the way, I doubt Nik's agents pack will ever be fixed. Deco's set as an agent when he's the sporting director of Barcelona irl.

Cookie

Hello, does anyone else have the issue of not being able to access Igor's leagues? I keep getting an error message saying "Website is archived." Thanks and best regards! _________ Hallo, hat noch jemand das Problem dass er auf die Ligen von Igor nicht zugreifen kann? Ich erhalte immer eine Fehlermeldung "Website is archived". Danke und beste Grüße!

daveincid

I guess he's going to update the files soon

Cosmo503

Thank you Dave 👍🏽

Cosmo503

Hope all is well and welcome to fatherhood congratulations my friend.

daveincid

Nights are a bit short but beside that, everything is fine with my little sunshine, thank you:)

mhc

which wonderkids file is better ?passion4fm or pr0

daveincid

passion4FM but it's not updated for 24.3 yet

cameron Mcshane

Thank you 🙏 can we still use the transfer file from fmscout?

Matthew Goodlip

With the "DO NOT use the following files:" including England. Does this mean that any England Level 20 fmf is incompatible? Or am I mixing it with something else? Love your work btw :)

daveincid

Naah your mixing up something:) England Level 20 db's are compatible in general. However, managing at such low levels can't be replicated realistic within the editor. Level 10 is already critical. Thank you:)

hexenkater

If you take Albania and Cyprus from MasterIgor, you probably shouldn't choose the FM24 Albanian Leagues & Cups and FM24 Cypriot Leagues & Cup from pr0. But thank you very much for your great work. just like MasterIgor, you Daveincid are my hero!

daveincid

Thank you for this. I forgot to adjust it:D And thank you for the compliments:)

Raffaele

Dave, you legend. What about New Players by TheNotoriousPr0?

daveincid

I don't use that one but it should work

Kieran

Hey Dave, I was wondering do I leave out the sortitoutsi data transfer update if im playing real world?

daveincid

I always simulated in real world with the file. I never had issues with it

Dan

It doesn't look like the Everton Points Deduction file is included in the TheNotoriousPr0 pack anymore?

FDM

is the leagues megapack by masterigor causing the Asian competition leagues ranking not update or stuck?

FDM

what do you mean by dynamic? , is it even possible to improve or degrade based on the performance of clubs?

daveincid

league reputation do change depending on club performances over the years.

Dan

pr0 released his June update for the transfer & data packs today. There appears to be several more files included than the previous version had. I'm going to assume that we still use the 3 files you recommend, but I thought it was worth mentioning in case there is anything else in there you might now recommend?

daveincid

I'll update my list at some point this month

Dan

Do you think much will change? I was waiting for things to be updated before starting a new save :)

daveincid

yes, due to all the league updates etc.

Andre Cardoso

thank u. i will wait to start a new save then

Annie (edited)

2026-11-01 18:00 hi, what files do you recommend for japan and the asian champions league specifically? i saw that workthespace uses yours and igors files for surrounding leagues etc but wasn't sure who the creator of the asian champions league files was. thank you
2024-06-13 10:21

daveincid

Japan is covered by MasterIgor. I haven't tested a file for the new ACL, so I can't recommend something which I haven't tested

Dan

Hi, is this updated now? Or when are you next intending to do an update? Thanks!

daveincid

Priority has my next update. The list will be updated at some point this month.

Dan

Thanks. I'm just trying to figure out when is safe or best to start a new save with your files. Pr0 updated his last on July 1st, so is anything above incompatible?

daveincid

I don't know because I haven't tested it yet. Please be patient.

LJ Cool L

Daveincid, have you tested your files with the four history add ons (Robs History Update with trophies and ATCH/ETCH/ITCH)? Or would they not conflict because those files only mess with historical data? I remember you recommended them with your files from last year, but I haven't seen you recommend them yet in FM24.

daveincid

If I would've tested it then they would be on the list:) I'll check them and add them in my next update if it works

AzamiNene

AzamiNene here, the file is mine so you can test it. As with the Japan stuff as well. MasterIgors would be fine too. Mines only really for lower league management in Japan anyways

Nobnab

Probably I should currently load your CANADA SQUAD REGISTRATION FIX file and not the Canada file from MasterIgor's Megapack? Sorry, this is probably an unnecessary question, as your files usually always have priority with me

Dan

Hi Dave. Thanks for your continued releases and updates! I was just about to start a new save with your latest update but I was going through these recommended files and noticed that pr0 is releasing an update tomorrow. Are these still compatible usually as long as I stick to the 3 files you mention? Or do you ever periodically update this list?

daveincid

Hi Dan, as written in the latest info, I'm planning to update the list as soon as I've tested league files for the 24/25 which aren't buggy. If you're using the files on the list, you should be fine. I can't say much about files I haven't tested yet. Cheers

cameron Mcshane

Do you know if it works with sortitoutsi data update-transfer values file works?

Barry

The sortitoutsi transfer pack includes (league) files, remove ban, injuries, media prediction and contract years file. Which one do I actually use?

Relaxinator1

Is it possible to change the start date of FM24? For example, by a year? And if so, it would be compatible with the recommended data?

daveincid

no, the most accurate way to play the 24/25 season is to start in 23/24 with the files on this list. A proper start like it's FM25 is not possible

Chris00

Kurz auf deutsch sry.Hab mit deinen vorletzten File vor 2/3 Wochen ein neues Spiel gestartet, ganz normal 23/24 ohne Datenbank.Ist das kompatibel gewesen noch mit den 3 Files von pro zb. (Wonderkids) etc?Weil ich mich an der alten Liste empfohlener Mods noch orientiert hatte.

daveincid

Wenn es das August Update war, dann passt das. Mit dem September update nicht.

Dan

Hi. In your August update you mention about starting in the 24/25 season, and that there will be further files in the September update. Was this added in the September update? And what is the best way to play 24/25? I know you can't move the start date. So would it be to start in 23/24 and then to holiday for a year, or what? I just basically want to play this current season 24/25 with new updated squads and teams promoted/relegated etc., I don't care about any changes to the Champion League formats being updated or anything like that.

daveincid

they are added in the September updare. As mentioned, the best way is to start in year 2023 but with everything updated for the 2024 season. The files needed are mentioned in the list

Josemainez

Hello my friend. On the MasterIgor different nations page, when you click on the link to download CONCACAF, you get the COMMEBOL link. Could you please inform him? Thank you!

Relaxinator1

Hi, I started an October file with the changes for 24/25. I noticed that in your update the file of Sortitoutsi "Club Finances" is no longer compatible. What effect would this file have on my game? Is this to be viewed critically? Should I start a new game? Thank you and greetings

daveincid

Changes overwrite eachother, so I don't know which file would works properly. I don't expect major issues but there might be smaller ones. If you've just started a new save like yesterday, I personally would re-start

cameron Mcshane

Hi does your worldwide award file add new awards? If so which ones?

Julian

Hi Dave. Thanks for your continued releases and updates! After the FM25 fiasco, I decided to finally buy FM24. I wanted to know if your realism pack is compatible with the new classic FM24 by the sortitoutsi guys: https://classicfootballmanager.com/ In particular, there is a new file included "Classic FM - Non Dynamic Data.fmf" that is not present on the standard update (the free one). I am not really interested on the new feature of dynamic stats. Do you have any idea what does this "Non Dynamic Data" file do? Thank you!

domink23

Hi Dave, as my favourite team plays in the German 4th tier, I changed the promotions/relegations for the 2024/25 season of that tier via the editor, plus some stadium changes. Would this alter/overwrite any other files you mentioned above, apart from obviously changing the teams competing in the 4th tier? Thank you in advance and for your great work! Regards

domink23

Hi Dave, sorry for asking you another of these questions, but I wondered if I can edit MasterIgor's Croatia league file to get some promotions/relegations for the 24/25 season of the 3rd and 4th division? I would not change anything else of course. Regards

domink23

Thanks, so I guess the same applies for changing any other league‘s promotions/relegations? Sorry, this will definitely be my last question for a while, I just want to make sure I set up my save correctly 😅. Regards.

cameron Mcshane

Does pr0s other changes file still work fine?

Malagant

There is a conflict between the Canada and Israel files in your Megapack and the ones in MasterIgor's Megapack.

daveincid

yes you can only use 1 file. I recommend to use mine unless you really want to start a career in Canada or Israel

domink23

Hi Dave, after there have been changes to the sortitoutsi data update, I guess the only files we shouldn't be using from it by now would be the "International Changes" and "New Players" (as there's one in your pack) files. Is this correct? Regards

Nicks2180

Hello Dave, Could you tell me if the FRMO (France) update might be compatible with your database? I'd like to play with the National 3 in France. Or would you recommend another update for France? Thanks

daveincid

No idea. sorry! No recommendations for such low levels because they aren't balanced out for my files

Heinz Ostermann

Hi! Dave mentioned this database update here: https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update I would like to play with this file, but I've never done it before and don't know which of the following files I need for what: sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - +1 Age and Contract Years.fmf sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Remove Bans.fmf sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Remove Injuries.fmf sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Remove Media Predictions.fmf Could anyone here perhaps help me further. I just want to start as follows: With Dave's Increase Realism Megapack (I know which files I need), as a starting point (‘normal’) in the 2023/2024 season, but with the squads that are now in reality and with the teams that are now playing in the respective leagues. I don't need anything else (a change in injuries, a change in age and contract, a change in bans) unless I misunderstand something, because unfortunately I don't know what exactly these files are ‘responsible’ for. Sorry for asking such a stupid question, but I'm not familiar with such a file yet, but would like to play with it and don't know what some files do. I hope I have not expressed myself incomprehensibly or confusedly. I apologise for the long text. I hope it's ok to post it here like this. I hope you all have a nice day and have fun playing with Dave's great files!

LJ Cool L

Hey Daveincid, I saw you answered a form of this question in the Realism thread, but I'd like to be more clear with my question than the previous poster. If I already have Sortitoutsi's paywall database updates (Classic FM as opposed to the basic data update), does that make a difference? Or should I revert to their basic data update instead?

LJ Cool L

But does the paywalled Classic FM still work if that's what I have? Or did you only test the basic?

daveincid

I only test the basic version. I do not support this project at all.

nicolas le bel

Hi Dave, I think there was an update to the sortitoutsi "FM24 Data Update" since you made this post. The "Club finances" file has disappeared. Is it still safe to use all the other files, except of course "International Changes" and "New players". Thanks

daveincid

yes, all files on the list are fine

daveincid

I do not test this kind of files because I don't use them personally. I doubt that it will work without issues

Javier Granados Sevillano

Good evening Dave. When you refer to MasterIgor's league pack, and deleting your Israel file, you mean the "Israel Player Contract Fix"? Thank you

daveincid

no idea I'm afraid. I do not test those kind of files because they are buggy as hell in combination with most other files.

domink23

Alright, thank you!

Relaxinator1

Good evening, football manager 2024 has a new engine Mod. I don't want to share this link here without your permission, so I just want to encourage you to look at it, test it and add it to your recommended list. You can search for it on Youtube or in your search engine. I would be happy to hear from you if we can use it.

daveincid

I saw it but it's nothing I recommend to use for multiple reasons

Bouz

So if I'm supposed to delete the Italy file, there's no way to start with the 24/25 Serie A I guess?

daveincid

No, the list already covers all of those areas

Chiefdontrun56

I'm using the enhanced transfer update from sortitoutsi which has a player attribute file. In your tests, is this file compatible with your pack?

Dan

Hi, saw there is a new FM Tweak mod which changes the match engine. You said below that you haven't recommended similar for multiple reasons, could you please elaborate? As it sounds really promising and I was hoping to use it.

daveincid

You can use it. Their work is great. I just didn't have time to make longterm tests with a lot of leagues playable. This will be on if my focuses for the next months

jack fleming

You have no clue how crazy it was driving me when my Fiorentina U-20's league got ruined and I couldn't find anyone with the same problem online, thank you for testing!!

jack fleming

Have you tried any start today mods that work with your realism pack?

daveincid

No because they are usually all either bugged or incompatible. So currently no plans to do so

Andrey Kapyshev

Hi, I joined recently and have issues using the latest pack. Seems like I followed your instructions very closely, installing only the files from the list (Realism pack, 2024/25 data update from sortitoutsi, real name fix+, agents file and few of the graphics ones. Plus, I tried it with or without MasterIgor’s files). Every time I start the game and after some playing quit FM, I get a crash on restart (something about language data being corrupt). Previously I used the earlier version of your pack (from June 2024 or so) and without the data update for 24/25 and never had any issues whatsoever.

daveincid

Hi Andrey, no idea what could be the issue here. I never experienced something like this. Cheers

AlexTheTall

I might have found a problem in Argentinia... It's 2027, we're on the 30.01.27 and the season didn't start yet. I have no calendar, nothing for Liga Profesional de Futbol. I play with MasterIgor’s files!

Dan

Hi, could you please elaborate what MasterIgor's Megapack files are for? I thought it was for additional nations/leagues which aren't included in the base game, but I see that it has a lot of rule updates also? I want to start a game in the Premier League and probably stay at one club, so would it be pointless to add these files? Or should I use them for the additional rule changes or whatever else is included?

Luis Fernando Dos Santos

Hi Dave! There is a file called DataTweaks, it adds more young players than your "new players" file. Can I use it or should I use yours?

Dan

Hi. I've installed everything here including the Megapack files. For some reason when I try to start a new game, I select all the database files and then the 'choose game mode' button is greyed out and I can't proceed. Do you have any idea why that might be? For info, it says I have 294 files enabled, with 297 in total. The 3 I have not ticked are your Finances, Reputation and New players files, as I'm using your 24/25 versions instead. Is this correct?

Dan

Ok. Is the number I gave accurate? I've downloaded the data update from Sortitoutsi. There are 41 files there and I've selected them all other than the 3 you mention. I've installed all files from MasterIgor's Megapack. And then all of your files minus the 3 I mentioned as I'm using the 24/25 version. Would appreciate some clarity, thank you!

Michael Walton

Hi, I recently downloaded your megapack and all your recommendations and when I try to start a new game I’m unable to choose a game mode or click advanced setup or anything. How do I fix this?

Michael Walton

In response to my previous comment about it not working, I think I’ve found the problem but I have no idea how to fix it. When going through the editor data files (where you can select/remove all) I turned them all off and added them 1 by 1 There is 2 files that can not be selected if you want to be able to choose a game mode and start a game. The files are: - TUR (Türkiye) from masterigor pack - ISR (Israel) Once those 2 files where de-selected I could start a new game

Michael Walton

I’ve also noticed that the conference league stops at the end of September

daveincid

you must use an incompatible file. Never had this kind of issue. Even 1 file which I haven't recommended can mess up a save

Michael Walton

@daveincid it is definitely not an incompatible file unless you are wrong with you megapack and recommend mods as I’ve downloaded only the mods you have put the links to and I’ve followed every instruction fully like removing Italy etc. So I repeat this is a problem with your mods

daveincid

My mods do not impact the conference league so it is definetly not down to my own mods. As written in my post, if mods on my list from others getting updated, there might be issues. I always check this once I'm updating the list.

Dead

I believe it has to do with a sortitoutsi data update. I could use an earlier version of it and did not get any errors. It was only when I used the latest one that the turkey issue popped up. I ended up just using the older version since you also had issues with the conference league.

domink23

Hi Dave, will there be an update on the files anytime soon, as there are new sortitoutsi files and some of the older ones aren't working anymore? Regards

will

I think its because the sortitoutsi database update alters the turkish league as well so using both breaks it, I'm just using the masterigor stuff for now

Malagant

Is it safe to use the SortitoutSI Italy League now with your latest update from yesterday?

SMiThaYe

Hi Daveincid, I've got all the files enabled and working as you listed above. What puzzles me is Dan Ashworth is still at Newcastle United, and so is Amada Stavely as they both left in 2024. Mpappe is still at PSG who left in 2024 IRL without a future transfer arranged in FM24, and Raheem Sterling joined Arsenal on loan from Chelsea 2024, also Elliot Anderson at Newcastle Utd is down as having been signed for £35.5M in 23/24 for Newcastle when it should say Nottingham Forest. Ivan Toney at Brentford in FM says he moved from Brentford to Brentford for £36M, he moved to Saudi Arabia. I'm using your recent April Early Access files of yours with 292 Editor Data files enabled and was hoping for up-to-date player + staff transfers. Thanks, and just asking to clear any confusion from me.

daveincid

you need a transfer upade file for that. I recommend sortitoutsi (as mentioned on the list) Cheers

SMiThaYe

Ok thanks for pointing that out :) I only stuck to the list of files you specified (26.03.25), and sortitout transfer update wasn't listed. Is it okay to use any/all of those files? Thanks again for your time. Sortitout files in the data update are showing errors: Warning: Rule group has empty discipline rules. AmdPowerXpressRequestsHighPerformance(0)wcsrchr(0) - I have Intel CPU and only the sortitoutsi data update files are causing it. Edit: for the transfer update I found that fmscout transfer update file "FM24 Transfers - 11 March 2025 (FMTU)" worked great as sortitoutsi files kept causing the above error.

daveincid

use all files I mentioned, not more not less

SMiThaYe

Last message here (don't mean to spam at all) is to say that the now clearer layout in this post meant I missed two files under Data Update, and it was just these two: Changes (Transfer file), and Contract Changes. P.S. And thanks for making it easier to read; I'm sorry if my dyslexia got on your nerves there, as it affects my reading comprehension, more so if a lot of text isn't spread out or bullet-pointed, as that helps keep track. Your patience and time is truly appreciated :)

daveincid

so is it now good or you still missed the two files?

SMiThaYe

With the two files I mentioned, it is working now, and no more conflicts or errors. Cos, for a second, I felt kinda dumb as I've used your files for a long time - I know to only stick to the files you list, hence why I love your extended DBs and setups to get everything just right :)

Brian

Hi Daveincid! Is your April file compatible with the current FMTweak v1.2 + AI Squad Rotation? I read you post that you are collaborating with them.

domink23

Hey Dave, can I still use the Deutschlandfile from the Meistertrainerforum if I delete MasterIgors GER file? Regards

daveincid

I haven't tested the latest files of the MTF. Once I'm happy with my list, I won't test other files anymore so you need to test it yourself. Cheers

Massimiliano Donatiello

Sorry to bother, may I ask you if you suggest not to use CAN, ITA, NOR and ROU leagues from Igor's files because they conflict with season 2024/25 updates or because they have problems / bugs even by themselves? I'm starting a new career in the original 2023/24 season with your files and I would like to know if I'm safe to include those leagues if I don't use any new season data update.

daveincid

ITA has bugs and the rest is incompatible with season updates

domink23

Hi Dave, is it intentional that no Italy file is in this list? That would mean that no updated promotions/relegations took place there, right? Regards

daveincid

yes, all files mess up youth competition

domink23

Okay, thanks. If I really want to play with an updated Italy file and don't really care about the youth competitions, can I still use the sortitoutsi file or would this mess up other things in the database? Regards

LJ Cool L

Hey Dave, as usual thank you very much for your outstanding work! It seems like when I try to do the "changes" fix, my editor always freezes and crashes (I assume because of how many changes its deleting). Would everything work fine if I just deleted the file itself? Or do you only recommend deleting the 15K extra players and keeping the file?

daveincid

it takes time. You can switch to another transfer file if you want. fmscout for example

LJ Cool L

Would I be able to mix-and-math sortitoutsi's with one like fmscout? Or if I'm gonna switch to another transfer file, just go for one or the other?

daveincid

mix won't work. you need to switch

Dan

When I try to delete the 15k changes in the editor, it just hangs for hours. Is this normal? I've confirmed that it's still running; it isn't not responding or anything. It just stays on the 'Are you sure you wish to remove these items' as if it's processing, but I've left it for 2-3 hours and it's still not done. Is this normal?

Manuel Torregrosa

From fmscout files, is there any folder that we shouldn´t add? Thanks in advance!

Arda

For me it took 12 hours mate xD

daveincid

that's some real commitment😂

Arda

Thx man xD, I really prefer Sortitoutsi’s update more, so I was wondering—would it be possible for you to share the changes file without the new players from now on, maybe on a monthly basis? For example, just the "02.05.25" update for this month? (Like same day with your public update maybe..)

daveincid

no, it's against respect to share other people's work in a direct way. I do not accept that if it affects my own work and I have the same values for other people's creation.

Dan

Wow, so I've left mine on overnight and it's still not done. Has anyone else other than Arda tried to do this, has it taken you several hours also? @Daveincid what is your experience?

daveincid

took me about an hour and a half but I'm on a mac m4 max:D

Dan

Thanks, I might just go with pr0's file instead. You say it's just the transfer file we need there? Would I be missing out on anything by not going with your recommended Sortitoutsi file instead, is it better in some way or is it just your preference?

daveincid

sortitoutsi is more complete in terms of transfers, beside that, no other reasons

Manuel Torregrosa

Okay! So what files can I use to update the league promotions and relegations? I mean If i only can use the transfers file from the folder

daveincid

the one's I recommend. I haven't tested anything else so just go by the list. What's not on the list = not tested and not recommended

Manuel Torregrosa

Sorry I don't quite understand, so I can use the sortitoutsi pack, but replacing the transfer file with the fm scout one. Or what exactly would I have to do? Sorry for the inconvenience

Dan

Can I just check... the Sortitoutsi data update has lots of files, including all the league files and then things like changes.fmf, international changes.fmf, contract changes.fmf and transfer clauses and values.fmf. If I decide to go for the pr0 file instead (because removing the extra players from the changes file is taking too long), am I just swapping out the changes.fmf for the pr0 'FM24 Transfers.fmf' file? Or what files should I use? Thanks.

LJ Cool L

Dave, one more question about compatible files. Are we okay to use the FMTweak game engine fix? Or does it mess with your files in some way?

daveincid

yes, you can use it. I thought it's obvious because our collaboration, but I'll inlcude it in my next update

Relaxinator1

Hi Dave, are there any recommendations regarding the FM Tweak Engine? Have you had any experience in this regard, or have you carried out any tests? You work with them now, don't you? Hi dave, sortitoutsi – Data Update & Licensing Fixes Relaxinator1's profile picture Sortitoutsi made a controversial change a couple of days ago by mixing their ~15,000 autogenerated new players into the main transfers file, instead of separating them. Relaxinator1's profile picture From which update was this change made? Can't I just download an older version of it to skip these manual changes? I didn't buy the editor, so I can't change this change myself.

daveincid

I'll update my recommendation of the ME tweak next time. I forgot it this time. No idea when sortitoutsi changed it. I'll probably switch to fmscout's transfer update anyway. I do not want to support sortitoutsi's policy anymore

Relaxinator1

Ok, thanks for the quick answer. When can we expect the adjustments on your part? I'm considering a new game start and would need your adapted recommendations for that.

liam cooney

I see the 'international changes' isn't mentioned on the list of files to delete from the sortioutsi data update, something changed in what they did for that to be compatible now?

daveincid

I forgot to remove it. Remove it to be sure

Andrew

damn.. I already started new save with 'international changes' editor file. will it affect the realistic game majorly? or its still okay to continue?

FabioFCSP

Hey Daveincid, first of all, great work. I love your Content! I have a problem with deleting the players from the "changes" file. When i try to delete them, like u did in the explanation, my pre game editor freezes. I tried deleting smaller batches, but even with 140 players at a time, the editor freezes

daveincid

it can take up to 12hours to be complete depending on your system

Lyn_Kr

does FC'12 Kit Color Changes and Worldwide Stadium Improvements could be used with this list ?

daveincid

I can't recommend stuff which I haven't tested/isn't on my list. So you need to check it yourself

Lyn_Kr

got it and when is the next update ?I saw you said the next update will include FMTWEAK

Lyn_Kr

OK i will wait for it and thanks

Stuart O Riordan

I'm trying to start a new save using your June mod, the master Igor files you recommended and the Pr0 update so I have promotions and relegations but it's saying I can only select one file per country, do I deselect master igors files and use yours and Pr0s? Is there any of the sortitoutsi files I can use, will players be a year older with yours and Pr0 files?

daveincid

as I already said multiple times, I'm currently testing the best possible options. The list will be updated once I found the best files. In the meantime, be patient

Mikkel Krogh

Thanks for the update Dave. I cant seem to find "🔧 Promotions/Relegation Season 25/26 +2 Age and contract years by sortitoutsi" - do you have a link?

Brinki_B92

You said it's possible to use some of the sortitoutsi for 25/26 - is it also pssobile to use contract and league files from 24/25?

Elliot Noble

can I use the Turkey update from sortitoutsi?

daveincid

ty it out. I don't know. As I explained there will be loads of changes in the coming weeks and I won't test daily. Next update of the list is in a month, hopefully with the majority of leagues testet for 25/26 season

Elliot Noble

okay, basically just want to advanced edit turkey to change squad rules, just wondering will changing rules in a nation affect the realism files?

Esteban

manchester united are in champions league with this list how can do it ?

daveincid

read the post on fmscout. It's not possible to recreate it 1:1

kado_No1

Yo Bro, ich weiß die Fragen nerven - sagst auch, dass man fragen soll: Alle Liga-Daten von sortitoutsi ab 03.06.25 is klar. Frage ist jedoch, ob man einfach dann alle 24er-Ligadaten von sortitoutsi mit der Datei 'Ein Jahr älter' spielen kann? Oder beißt sich das komplett mit Deinen Patches? Oder man die Liga-Daten sogar mischen kann? Weil sonst spielt man die eine Liga Stand 23/24 und die andere 25/26. Halte da eine Fehlerquote für höher. Allerdings bist Du das Brain, der es sicherlich besser weiß, als ich.

daveincid

Es gibt keinen Crash, Stand jetzt kann man halt einfach noch nicht komplett mit der Saison 25/26 spielen und 24/25 wird auch schwierig weil sortitoutsi die Files ersetzt. Das beste ist also: warten

Jetrox

Hey Dave, If I still have all the latest 24/25 league updates from SortitoutSI, can I start a new save with your June Realism Pack, and the +1 age and contract years?

Brinki_B92

Hallo Dave, die Files wie "Europe" z.B. aus dem sortitoutsi Update File sind auch nicht mehr nutzbar korrekt ? Gibt es da ein speziellen Grund wie beim Trasfer File wie doppelte Spieler etc ?

daveincid

Wie im Post geschrieben ist die Liste meine "persönliche" Liste von Files welche ich nutze. Ich mache mir da immer meine Überlegungen. Die Zeit um alles zu erklären und was jetzt mit X oder Y ist habe ich schlicht nicht.

Brinki_B92

Das kann ich verstehen - ich frage logischerweise nur um sicher zu gehen, dass das Game dadurch nicht crasht - aber du schreibst ja auch, dass alle anderen Files nicht getestet sind. Von daher alles gut trotzdem danke dir :)

liam cooney

Since you dont recommend 'Italy' from the sortitoutsi update packs for the 24/25 season I would also assume to not go ahead and use the 25/26 update file for italy when it comes out before you release another edition of 'files you recommend' right?

LJ Cool L

Hey Dave, any reason for the switch from Sortioutsi's Real Name Fix to FMScout's? Can I still use Sortitoutsi's?

daveincid

you can still us sortitoutsi. Decision made due personal preferences

Kieran

Hey Dave, if i only want 24/25 season promotions and relegations instead of the 25/26 season, what files do i need to download?

daveincid

An old version of sortitoutsi but not sure which one and where it is for download. In terms of my files, all files in the folder 24/25 and the other files as usual

Kieran

Cheers Dave, I've managed to find an old file with just 24/25 season. But just one more question mate, what was the SortitoutSI files that I shouldn't use again? I remember Italy, Turkey, International Changes, Changes .. anymore?

daveincid

You're welcome. these for sure, can't remember anything else

tc3126

Hey Dave, thanks for the amazing jobs first! As a new gamer to the FM for several weeks, I have several questions to ask if you don't mind: 1. If I want to play the game as 24/25 season, I have got several old sortitoutsi update(like before 2025.5.4, looks like from that time they change the file logic), what file of theirs can be used with your mega packs together? 2. I saw you did give the solution of how to fixed issue with duplicated players before(from X history posts), I understand this Patreon content is up to date so you moved it, but can u share it again by another Patreon post? or any ways you prefer as the people like myself might not see it before you deleted. 3. As the following question from above, I have tried sortitoutsi and Pr0 both old version, but I have faced duplicated players problems(most are wonderkids), so if it can be solved, which one you recommend more as the roster update for 24/25 with your mega pack? Thanks in advance!

daveincid

1. Sorry I only recommend one specific way to play. I do not have the ressources to check each way. Currently (as explained in the post), a lot of files from other creators are updated almost daily, so best way is to just be patient until the majority is finished 2. I can't sorry, as written above, I do not recommend sortitoutsi anymore 3. Only use the transfer update from pr0 and no other file which adds new players and you won't have any duplicates

Esteban

so u dont recommand match lab this time ? i like this mod

daveincid

not sure what you mean, it's on the list

domink23

Hi Dave, I know that you don't recommend the sortitoutsi data update, but pr0s update isn't as complete as I'd like it to be, so I would still be using the sortitoutsi one. Is the only file from your pack that overlaps with sortitoutsi's the "new players" file, so with deleting that I can use both? I know their new players aren't as high quality as yours, though.

daveincid

this is MY personal list of files so I mainly test files which I want on that list. I do not spend time to test other constellations.

domink23

Understandable, thank you for you answer.

Esteban

did you add pogba ?

Stuart O Riordan

Pogba is added on pr0s update available on his patreon but I think is available for free tomorrow or this week.

Stuart O Riordan

Hi Dave, I know you don't recommend sortitoutsi for transfer updates since they put everything in to the "changes" file but now I see they have a "new player" file, does this mean we could run the sortitoutsi files and just delete their "new player" file and use yours?

daveincid

no, it's an empty file. They just kept it to avoid confusion. I don't understand their logic but anyway, all is the same as it is at the moment on my list. I plan to update the list this weekend if it makes sense (if good promotions/relegations files are available)

Stuart O Riordan

Thanks for the reply and I understand how frustrated you must be by the change and constant questions about it but I'm far from a modder so that confused me when I saw it. Just starting a new save with your July update and the pr0 transfers and staff. Appreciate the great work you do.

daveincid

The change is frustrating indeed, but at this stage it doesn't surprise me anymore. :D All good to ask questions like this. I try to be as clear as I can in my posts to automatically answer most questions before they are even asked. Sometimes with success sometimes less :D Thank you:)

Bouz

Unfortunately the combination of the sortitoutsi +2 age and contract and the Pr0 transfers causes the contract expiry dates to get messed up-

daveincid

I'm aware of it. I haven't found a better alternative yet. The game is simply not designed to allow a proper replication of a 2 years later start with everything in line. It's important to accept this as a fact.

Bouz

Thank you, if you are aware and there's no better option I can live with it better.

liam cooney

I just merged the files, it causes some people to have 2 extra years but i found that a better result than so many players only have 1 year left on their deal etc

will

Hi Kieran, you might not see this but if you do could you let me know where you found the older 24/25 files on sortitoutSI, I'm having a nightmare looking for them :)

Kma

Please why i can't use ITA file from MasterIgor's Megapack ? I want to play in the 4th division

Fraser Wilson

What do you do about Ajax staff?

daveincid

included in pr0's new staff file

daveincid

it messes up youth competitions after season 26/27

AJM1994

Hi Dave. So, if I just want to play starting in 2023, is it safe to use MasterIgor's files sans Italy? Also, do I use your Brazil file or his? Thanks.

4rdennai5

Hi Dave. I have a save going on following your previous recommandations ; using MasterIgor's Megapack except CAN, ITA, NOR, ROU ofc And pr0 ONLY 2 files : New staff and transfers . So I don't use Promotions/relegations. or anything else Btw I noticed BRA file from Igor and yours from last updates are no longer possible to use at the same time (I chose yours). Is there a problem with going on or shoud I better start a new game?

4rdennai5

Thank you Sir. I appreciate it.

liam cooney

I know you tested your list but I do feel an urge just to ask that its fine using the pr0 file that includes promotion and relegation for italy (i assume its 'Promotions-Relegations & EU Places') because italy has had issues with the youth system for sortioutsi and the old pr0 italy file

daveincid

It worked fine for me with the files I've tested

liam cooney

Sweet thank you, been wanting to play as Livorno for a long time now but never could because the files werent compatible

Bouz

Thanks for fixing this contract issue so fast

Geralt98

Well, in that case I choose the Igor BRA file, also fine?

daveincid

Should work fine if you prefer that file over my schedule fix

mitchrfc

Why is the MasterIgor Cyprus file not included? Is there an alternative file you know of to play in Cyprus?

mitchrfc

Thanks. Completely missed that

Cedinero

Hey, how you are doing well. Do you recommend the new FM Match Lab training.fmf overhaul file?

Comers Sila

Hi, I am playing with custom file for all Serbian leagues and season 25/26 never starts, do you know whitch file is cousing this? I use all of your files and files from this post minus pr0 files and +2 age files.

Comers Sila

But I tested that file in the save where I only enabled it and there were no problems

daveincid

that's why I mentioned it that only one additional file which isn't on my list can mess up everything

Marc W

Hey Daveincid, ich bin schon lange dabei und freue mich jedes Mal, wenn ein neues Update von dir da ist. Vielen Dank und mach weiter so. Kann man die weiteren Files neben dem Agent Pack von Nik33 bedenkenlos neben deinen nutzen oder nicht? https://www.fmscout.com/a-nik33-fm24-data-packs.html

daveincid

Freut mich:) Ja, dieses File ist auch auf meiner Liste erwähnt.

Emre Kamalı

Hi! When I added BRA league pack "league schedule fix brasil" file gives an error. I think I did everything right, but is the problem personal or general?

daveincid

if the Brazil file was updated before I checked the list, there might be issues. You may have to choose between the two files and delete the other one. Up to you which one you choose

SMiThaYe

Ah, went through the files to see which was conflicting and ended up removing the BRA.fmf file and keeping Daveincid's LEAGUE SCHEDULE FIX BRAZIL.fmf file. Also, these files conflict - with GRE + KSA removed 'Choose Game Mode' is now enabled: -FM24 Greek G Ethniki (TheNotoriousPr0) -GRE -FM24 Saudi Arabian Leagues & Cups (TheNotoriousPr0) -KSA Thanks!

Emre Kamalı

Can we use the sortitoutsi transfer update instead of fmpr0 does it cause a problem? There is a lot of missing players in this update.

Michael Walton

Hi hope your well! Quick question, are the leagues listed as “don’t use” for master Igor’s pack for the new update or the old one? I noticed there have been some added leagues since the 01 August public update for your realism pack

daveincid

Hi Michael. I'm good, hope you too?:) doesn't matter. It's a general recommendation

Michael Walton

I’m good too thank you! And okay thank you, I lack experience so probably safer for me to remove them then. Just got a new PC so have to download everything again anyways

Atom Atom

If there is england lower league database that is compatible with this?

daveincid

you need to test it yourself. I do not test any England db because vanilla goes already down enough levels. More lower leagues will harm performance too much

daveincid

No, use the one's already there by default and delete both folders (24/25&25/26)

Chris00

Hi dave.Kann ich das eine File "Promotion und eu places" von pro auch weglassen?Ich starte im Jahr 23 und hab auch deine Standard files mit drin, nicht die von 25 oder 26.Ich möchte halt mit zb Arminia Bielefeld in der 3 Liga starten, deswegen die Frage wegen diesen einen File, ob ich das weglassen kann oder ob es dann zu Konflikten kommt?

Marcin Wiśniewski

Hello! I'd appreciate an answer: if I'm NOT using the "Belgium Promotions" file (by pr0), can I use "BEL.fmf" from MasterIgor's Megapack collection? I've searched the comments and unfortunately haven't found an explanation for this. That's why I'm asking :). Regards! P.S. I also do not use any update add-ons for seasons 24/25 or 25/26 (transfers, promotions, +2 age etc.)

daveincid

should work unless you get an error message

MEÖ

Does this mean that if we're not interested in new transfers, +2 age and pr0's files in general - we should NOT use your 24_25 or 25_26 fixed at all? In other words, your 24_25 and 25_26 files should ONLY come into play if we play with up-to-date promotions/relegations and transfers?

Tom Mellish

For the files provided by Pr0, in their download now they have files like "Belgium Promotions & Comp Changes" merged into one .fmf I notice you've specified only " Promotions" for some and " comp changes" for others - hopefully this will not cause issues.

daveincid

I'll check it when I update the list. Focus at the moment is my October update👍

Jotew

I use the latest downloads from you and from pr0, also merged the +2 years contract and FM24 Transfers file. So it's better to use the files in the 25/26 folder also? (and delete the other ones with the same name?)

Jotew

And if Pr0 missed an transfer, I can edit/add that one also in the 'merged-file' ? After the merge it has more then 2 million edits, so hopefully thats correct also.

MadMike5090

Hi hope your well. Is this list accurate for your September update?

daveincid

it's accurate back then when I tested the files. each file which was updated since then I don't know

MadMike5090

okay no worries, do you have any idea of when this list might be updated?

MadMike5090

its just I cannot start my new save until this list is updated as I only use your mods and recommended mods to keep things easy

MadMike5090

Hi hope your well. Any chance this list will be updated soon? I asked last week and was told it was planned for this week

daveincid

And this week ends on Sunday, please don't be pushy. I don't like that. Thank you

MadMike5090

I apologise if it has come across as pushy but you have to realise its 19 days since the September update release (earlier for higher paying members) and you have mentioned there's mods that cannot be used if we are using your September update. Your mod and the recommended mods sort of come as a package. No mod is good enough to be used purely by itself. So I don't believe I am asking for too much. I am just asking to receive what I signed up to a membership for.

daveincid

I release the update of the list as announced and scheduled. If this isn't good enough for you or you feel the need to further discuss it, it's the best if you cancel your membership. Topic closed. It's 8pm here and I'm done for the day

liam cooney

Hey sorry just wanting to confirm it had to be the file without the changes and promotions merged, thanks

Bouz

I only use these files now and the Primavera 1 still is broken after 24/25, is that unavoidable now? Thanks.

daveincid

seems like it's an issue which doesn't appear for everyone but also for me but not in every save. So it's more or less impossible to fix. Hoping for FM26 that this won't happen anymore

liam cooney

Do you think this is related to changing the database for italy in regards to relegation promotion or something from your mods or even just the base game itself?

Vaughn Mbulle Etue

I can't merge the sortitoutsi folder and the transfer file... Is there a simpler way

LJ Cool L

Hey Daveincid, do you know if non-gameplay mods work with your files, like a FMInside.net's History update or the Sortitoutsi Stadium Fix visual mod?

alber fg

Hey friend, when i do all of this, im missing some loans (in my case, Guilherme Fernandes from Valladolid to Valladolid B). Do i miss something? It could be the financial requirements of Spain, which are restrisctive. Thx

daveincid

Hi, my focus is on FM26 only. I don't even know if transfer files for FM24 are still updated I'm afraid
