Have you tried Club Vision? I have done some small tests in the Caribbean and there it looks like you can set a vision to have players from a certain nationality. It works at startup at least as much as creating regens/newgens with the applicable nationality. It's not perfect but seems ok-ish.

I think you should do anyway. Basic rules work for the simple things but with advanced you can customize more. There can be more errors of course but I find it's worth it.

I don't really know then. I mostly use advanced rules. It's not perfect either but there are a few more options to explore(what I showed initially).

Ok, I misunderstood. That's odd. Unless another file is overruling this I don't see why it would happen. Is it always the same alignment? Btw, have you set regional boundaries for the regional division themselves?

I have seen the game try to "fix" this myself. It will move some teams to make sure all division have the same number of team. Is that what's happening? I mean, I think setting min and max number of teams should prevent it but would be good to verify.

are there different number of teams in the regional divisions?

ok. not sure there's much you can do if you already set the teams' regional divisions. is it the same number of teams in your database? is the game changing another setup to "fix" this?

Are you using basic or advanced rules? If you're using advanced what have you selected here:

Regional leagues in general are difficult. Because of the dynamic relegation where you can have extra teams that's supposed to be relegated into one division and the game don't understand it's supposed to relegate extra teams from the lower division etc it is prone to error. You can minimize the risks by doing things such as setting regional division on each level for all team. This way the teams should end up in the correct regional division, if possible. For each league on each level you can set to which leagues there are promotion and relegation. There are more things like this but that would be the first things to consider.

Ok, then it's the correct one. Then I think this is really weird. I don't think I've ever seen the rules not verify and not been given a reason for it. I would do a cosmetic change somewhere in the rules(maybe setting kickoff times on nation level or something similarly simple) and try to verify again. If the file refuses to verify and just don't do anything then I'm lost for answers.

I'm wondering where you tried to test the rules? There's a difference between testing rules and testing competitions. Only the first option will verify the division levels.

You didn't add the date of the split. Please try that and see if it solves the date problem.

I don't know if there's a faster way than under Database Changes and depending on what you want to delete then it may still be complicated.

You absolutely need to add new players(names) to the database. What's worse is that many nations have a hidden name pool that won't change whatever we do in editor. I don't know if Andorra is such a nation but it sounds like that's the case. This name pool will influence the generated names(but will be partly mitigated by your added players). I presume you have changed the language of the new nation. I would also suggest moving it from its region. I'm a relatively experienced editor and I know there is an option somewhere to fix the name pool(somewhat) but SI have never updated the editor GUI to enable this.

There is one that works in the opposite direction. It states for how long a club will keep its status once relegated. I have also imagined I've seen what you think but after much looking I have concluded it's the one I mentioned first.

Yes, but these are superficial changes that I think Wolf_pd already knows how to do. What he is talking about is to unlock a hidden option where you can set percentages for clubs and nations for how many will be of certain nationaities. .

IME, this is mostly because the finances don't add up. Personally I mostly see non-contract players but I'm also more of a LLM/exotic league player. Otherwise you can dd Full-time contracts to the league in the contract tab in the editor.

Are you using Basic or Advanced rules? In Basic it's here: In Advanced it's here:

Yes it is and it's done in the nation rules.

I'd guess that one of nations activated is Tamil Indian which I've never seen in game but guess is used for regen/ethnic purposes(and then obviously not in the open)

You also need to update Schedule under Stage for each division.

I haven't tried this particular combo but other things work

You do that on the main page of the division.

The editor says a season can be at most 11 months long. I don't know if it's possible to manipulate that but don't think so.

I'm setting up a club to be a 2 club for me. It works, but the problem is that the first team's youth players are also sent there. How can I avoid this and keep the youth team in the main club?
