Great work on this skin, thanks a lot.

It's annoying, especially if you are a big club with a lot of scouts, but a workaround is to assign your scouts to individual games rather than doing focuses. They find more players. For example, I scouted two games in Austria in one day and got four recommendations from my scouts. The added bonus is that you immediately have extensive knowledge of each player. If I had found the same four players in a recruitment focus (which wouldn't have happened) it may have taken 2-3 weeks for me to gain extensive knowledge of them.

Playing as FC Nordsjaelland in Real World Mode. Ernest Nuamah is unavailable for me before his transfer goes through on August 30. Not a huge deal, but this does not represent the "Real World" since Nuamah played six games and scored four goals for FC Nordsjaelland before making his move. I guess it just can't be programmed any other way?

Mustermann is great, but I also just started to enjoy Just Skin now that it has an attribute less version.

FYI, a partial solution to this is to download FMRTE. This allows you to edit club affiliations within saves, you can edit that FC Nordsjaelland affiliation with RTD. RMRTE does cost money, and it is not a pregame editor so you have to apply the edit to each save. But it is a good work-around until (if?) SI fix the issue.

Yes, I've experienced the same thing, and the issue has been raised in the bugs forum.

Good call, I saw there was already a thread about it, so I added my post as well. Thanks.

I just posted about this on the main board, so I'll copy and paste to here. As to real life examples, all you have to do is pull up the FC Nordsjaelland website and look at their youth rosters. It's all Danish and other Scandinavians. African players don't arrive until they are 18. My post is below. I manage FC Nordsjaelland a lot. With their link to Right to Dream Academy in Ghana, they always get a lot of African players to come through their academy at the age of 15 or 16, which in turns means fewer Danish players coming through my youth intake. To me, there are two issues with that.... 1) That's generally not how it works at FC Nordsjaelland. Those players are signed from Right to Dream at age 18, because African kids can't move to Europe until they are 18. Under the current setup, I get very few Danish players through my youth intake, which isn't accurate. If you look at their real-life U19 and U17 teams, it's all Danish and other Scandinavian kids, but after a few years on FM, their U19 is loaded with African kids. In real life, the African kids are brought in directly at 18 and plugged into the first team or the reserves. FC Nordsjaelland produces a ton of good Danish players in real life, but this is hard to replicate in the game because so many kids from RTD are coming through my youth intake. Those RTD kids should be bought as transfers from RTD at 18 instead. 2) When I'm not doing an FC Nordsjaelland save, the AI can't handle the African kids coming through the Youth Intake. They all have to be paid 50k to qualify for a work permit, and the AI doesn't think they are worth that much it seems, or perhaps they are capped by the wage budget, so the result is that a large number of FC Nordsjaelland's youth team after a couple of years can't even play in games because they don't have work permits. I'm not going to say it's game breaking, of course, because it's not. But it's also not accurate, and it does kill immersion for me, and considering the AI can't handle paying them and getting them work permits, it should be changed. There's no point in FC Nordsjaelland having a good youth setup if the AI doesn't even sign many of the players who come through it. The solution I think would be to change the affiliate to a "right to purchase" type, rather than the type that sends players to the FC Nordsjaelland academy, and perhaps make it so the board expect you to sign Ghanian players. I would do it myself, but apparently we aren't allowed to edit affiliate types in the editor. So, my suggestion/request, as someone who almost always plays with FC Nordsjaelland, is to please change that affiliate type to something that more closely resembles real life, or at least let us have the option to edit affiliates in the editor ourselves so I can fix it. Or, if you don't think either of those things is appropriate, at least program the AI so that it actually signs those African players that come through it's youth intake. Thanks for your consideration. If this is better suited for the suggestions board, feel free to move it, or let me know and I'll post it over there.

Not me. The affiliates show up, but when I try to click or unclick anything (such what each agreement actually does) nothing happens.

Would this editor make it possible for me to edit affiliate agreements between clubs? Seems to be hardcoded in the official editor, but I wanted to make a change.

I'm trying to use the editor to change the type of affiliate agreement between clubs. I want to untick "Youth Players Training", but when I do it, nothing happens. The box remains ticked. In fact, I can't tick or untick any of the boxes for any of the options (Sharing Scouting Knowledge, Financial Help, etc.). Any ideas? Am I missing something? Screenshot below so you can see what I'm talking about...I can't tick or untick anything.

Thanks for converting the Around the World megapack. That really helps me flesh out my game world. I didn't see Leichtenstien in the file, however. Not that it's a big deal or anything, haha.

The realism mod goes a long way towards making things more, well, realistic in terms of transfer values.

Yep, same thing is happening to me. Losing two players at the end of this year without warning.
