Reids11 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) I’m wondering if anyone else has had trouble adding the lower league database? I tried the fmeditor one, downloaded put it in the editor file, but once I start Fm and try to select database. The box isn’t able to click if that makes sense, thanks in advance Edited January 14, 2020 by Reids11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Where did you place the file? can you screenshot the location you put the file in.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reids11 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 I’m not currently at home, but as far as I can rememeber I’ve gone.. documents /sports interactive/football manager/editor data ??? what are you thinking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Well it can only be 3 things really.. a problem with the file itself ( in which case, asking the creator is your only solution) you were putting it in the wrong place (doesn't seem so) are you looking here?: Other than that, it's hard to find what the issue is... what type of file extension was the file? you sure you downloaded the correct one? not a fm19 one or something? I use the same file and it works fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reids11 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 I can’t see it being a problem when the file as like you say you have used it yourself! And so have many others, yes that but just doesn’t let me click on it, msybe I haven’t put it in the right place 🤔 I had a brief mess about before work, and couldn’t hack it! I will try again once I’m home and let you know, judt want to get started haha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanMilly Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Wait, are you using a Mac? In that case, you are putting them in the wrong place. The correct location for the files on a Mac are: Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

c.cassells Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Don't think it's worth making a new thread for my question; I downloaded an English LL database (down to L10) for a save I'm currently on. I took over Cheddar FC (mainly because of the magnificent name). I've got them up to the level below Vanarama N/S, but I can only offer players non-contracts whereas the teams in my league are able to offer actual contracts. I am consistently losing players. When the game first started I had one player on an actual PT contract but I had to sell him to get some wage budget for non-contract players. Is this a bug in the editor file, or is it linked to Cheddar FC's reputation as a club that I can only offer non-contracts? Maybe they will let me offer PT deals when I'm promoted next time? Any assistance appreciated! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't "Add players" at the start of the game, but there was one player already on the books on a part-time deal. Everyone I've signed since has been on a non-contract basis, so despite 3 promotions, I lose my entire squad at the end of every season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has to do with finances when you are a semi pro team who can only offer non contracts.... are your finances terrible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've went up and down with my FA cup runs. Sometimes +£100k, sometimes -£30k in the red. But I normally play with my own team (East Fife) who are a small part time outfit with similar finances and they can offer players contracts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don think it's a hard set rule, check your club rules and info page? think it's on a club by club basis... though i'm not 100% sure of course.

JordanMilly Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Many of the editor lower league files don't have the allowed contracts set up properly, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reids11 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Just an update! I finally managed to get the database.. on Mac you have to keep hold of the alt button to bring the library up which leads to where it needs to go! Thanks for the help!

That said, you can change your club from amateur to professional which will make full time contracts etc available with the in game editor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that's what I'll have to do. I've managed to cobble together a semi decent squad again, board wants a 4th promotion in a row for whatever reason, if I get into the Vanarama N/S and they still won't let me offer deals I'll have to edit to go FT.

Tbh, why don't you use the editor and swap your team from semi pro to pro and then back.. it might reset the club and maybe allow you to sign players to a contract.. just a thought... either way it won't impact your game as long as you don't do anything other than check if you can offer contracts or not.. and then just swap it back.. or just save the game before trying It's an issue with the edited file imo rather than a feature of your club 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went onto the original FM database to look at the club, can't find anything that would limit them to non-contracts though. Good shout on the switching to professional then back to semi-pro, I think that'll likely do the trick. Will try it out when I'm home this evening. Thanks for assistance, all!

The changes probably won't be in the original FM database, it'll be in the edited database. Have a look at the leagues, and see if they have certain types of contracts enforced/restricted.

Reids11 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Anybody had trouble adding a kit to a game? I’ve had the Holker old boys, hallmach security div 1 north team, kits made by someone on twitter, but when I try to upload it’s not having it?

c.cassells Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Tried the old semi-pro to pro switch during my current season, didn't work, but I am currently £30k in the red. I'll play it cool for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
