huh, never heard of that before. Don't suppose you have any information about it?

This is generally either 1 of 2 issues. Firstly, you just have an issue with your fixture rules and they need fixing. Have a look at what you've got and see if anything could be amended. I'd say simplicity is best here. Or alternatively, it's because the teams has multiple matches really close together. Could be they have a cup/league match on the same day that can't be rearranged or something. If it's this one altering your schedule may fix the issue.

You'll probably need to edit the Nations League. It uses specific teams (needs to in order to put them in the correct divisions) rather than just gets European teams. The Euro Qualifiers is linked to the Nations League, so I imagine adding your country to the Nations League would automatically work the Euro Quals too.

Use best teams in division instead. Don't select a division, instead there should be an option to just set a nation, then select host nation rather than a specific nation. Set it to sort teams by last position and to get a max of 1 team.

Yes, you could set them up as regional divisions under a parent division in the same way you would regular divisions. So like the English National North/South that has 2 regional divisions based on geography. You could set it up like that and define how to set regional divisions, eg. north/south borders etc. The 1 issue with that is you may end up with too many teams from 1 region so they end up spilling over into other region's divisions, but if you want it to be dynamic that may be what you're looking for anyway. They're run in a different way to primary divisions. The primary divisions are defined on the nations rules page, in tier order. Secondary divisions are essentially set up the same way as cup competitions. Not sure what exactly you want to do with extinct divisions? But probably, yeah.

Yeah, you'd have to add continental rules. If you want to add more places you'd have to re-create everything from scratch too. If you want to add an extra competition below the Conference League however, that'd be possible and not that complicated. Just add continental rules, make sure the Nations/Teams pages are both completely blank (otherwise they override the default coefficient rules), set it up under Other Cups instead. Give the competition a set up date after the UCL, UEL and UECL set up. Set it to get all teams from those competitions with the Ignore Teams box ticked. Then tell it to get the best x teams from domestic leagues. It will ignore the teams in existing European competitions so start picking from teams below those, eg. teams that finished 8th and below. Then set the cup up however you like format wise.

There should be 3 different nation settings. Nation, which you need to set to England for them to be in English leagues. Based Nation, which determines where newgens come from. Should be left as Scotland. Continental Cup Nation, this is the one that determines which country they qualify for Europe from. Not sure whether it was FM23 or FM24 but recently this stopped automatically changing when moving clubs to a different country's leagues, it has to be changed manually now. If they're only playing in competitions under England's nation rules this would need to be England, otherwise they can't qualify for Europe at all. But yeah, even with it set to England, that'd just mean they use England's places from the EPL and cups. There wouldn't be any extra places for the Scottish teams in England, just the 7 or so current places that England get to fight for. FYI you can use multiple editor files at once. I use over 200 I think. So having continental rules in a separate file wouldn't be an issue. There are times they could conflict of course, but the majority of the time you're fine using multiple files together.

Continental rules is greyed out because it should be a separate rules file, not in the same file as nation rules. The Scottish teams don't qualify for European competitions because their continental cup is probably still set as Scotland, and they're in the 11th? division. If you change their continental cup nation to England, they would be able to qualify for Europe. Although they'd qualify through English competitions. So they'd qualify through the EPL and FA/EFL Cups and be counted as English, just like Cardiff/Swansea. Scottish UEFA places are meant for independent Scottish competitions, not Scottish clubs playing in England or Scottish competitions running under English nation rules. There are ways around that, although it would need an independent Scottish league system still and quite a bit of messing around in the editor. I've managed to get Swansea/Cardiff to use Cymru Premier UEFA places via a playoff. The same should work for Scotland. If you want to see how that works it's here: https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/581424-fm24-welsh-epl-teams-in-europecymru-premier-championship-playoff/ UEFA qualifying places can't be edited. You can edit some parts of the default competitions, create new continental competitions, or a completely new set of rules/qualifying that override the existing ones, but you can't edit the default qualifying/coefficient system.

Open up Finland's advanced rules in the editor and have a look. The new division with the previous ones dropping down a tier is already in the default database.

Here: The number of teams for all rankings needs to add up to the total number of teams in the competition. And of course make sure rankings are assigned correctly in your stages. eg. for a cup stage: Or a group/league stage:

Are your regional leagues different sizes? If so, make sure you set min/max teams on the requirements section of every single league. If you don't then I find it tries to re-distribute teams so that all leagues are the same size. It should still have the same total teams after that, but some leagues will have too many teams and others too few so it won't work.

Edit the Ranking Level Info so that it reflects the correct number of teams. If you have a variable number of teams for whatever reason, use the Count Teams From Stage option and put in the ID for the stage that assigns that ranking level and then it will adjust to more/less teams as needed.

Fixed/flexible is the most important part there. That's what determines whether it overrides the existing competition rules or tries to fit alongside them. Fixed = old rules are completely replaced. Flexible = will keep parts of the old rules that weren't edited. TBH they should probably be re-named. It doesn't usually matter too much, although if you want it to use your hosting setup you'll need it to be fixed. As for your issue, when do the Euro quals end? If it keeps skipping 2024 I'm wondering if that's due to the qualifiers ending too soon so it's not properly simulating them. If that's the case you could try either using alternative dates just for the first one so they last longer, or registering specific teams for the 2024 entry and just using qualifying for 2028 onwards.

Looks like a setup date/requirements issue. I'd guess it's trying to setup before qualifying has finished so only finds 1 team (the host which automatically qualifies?). For the time it found 15/16 teams it may be because host teams often don't properly "qualify" for tournaments. Often you have to tell the stage to specifically get the host team, rather than get qualified teams.

Don't use the qualification system. Just pull teams directly from the leagues into the competition instead.
