As I said before, though I may not have said it very well, that will not work (I tried it) as all the players will be of a low quality regardless of team reputation.

That was what I was talking about, those generated players are capped at 130 PA.

My understanding is that randomly generating players through the pre-game editor have a cap of 130PA, so you would need someone to have manually and inidividually created a new replacement for every player in the world. However, I'm the same as you and love to play with new, unique, game generated players. What I instead do for my main save every year is sim 20 years into the future, such that every player is a newgen, but the teams still remain balanced and realistic, and then I choose a giant of the real world that has fallen the farthest! If you want, I do still have my save from before I joined a team, simmed to 2040, and I could find a way to send it your way if you want!

Also, the second 'Use licensed kits' is ticked in game for the affected teams, this problem is fixed. That would be fine, but I plan on playing multiplayer and also do not have the in-game editor, so using some sketchy little third-party program to fix this on both ends like I am currently would be a real pain. Another thing to note is this is a converted FM22 editor file, and all my teams were created in FM22, so that could also be the reason.

I've been working on a database with a custom nation, and considering it's my first time, it's going pretty well! However, one thing has been giving me trouble. I have been generating making custom kits and badges for my teams and learned that you can create a custom filepath for each kit and badge to avoid the need for a kitpack. It has worked well for me, but there are a few teams, 3 of the 11 I have so far, where the kits refuse to show up in game. This also happened when I tried to make a kit pack for the same teams, which was the whole reason I learned of this alternate method in the first place. I fixed the kitpack issue when I learned that the affected teams somehow had 'licensed kits' disabled while it was enabled for the rest. Then, when I went into the 'Pictures' tab on the pre-game editor club screen, I saw what was different. This is a working team, as you can see there are supplied directories for the icon, logo, and all 3 kits, and this team's kit shows up in game. This team, however, does not recieve the directories. There are no functional differences, they both are in the same league, same database, no major differences in their UID, made around the same time the same way as each other. They even have the same number of kits, though this does affect some teams with 2 and some with 3 kits. My only theory I have is that it may be possible I originally based the affected teams' kits off of a use of the 'Generate Random Kits' button? I don't even know if that's the case for sure though, I created these teams last year! My best guess is there's some random hidden "Is licensed kit" checkmark that is used by the devs, and somehow randomly generating a kit for a custom team ticks that mark accidentally...Any help is appreciated!

Also, other Basque teams are having the same issue. The post is bloated enough with screenshots as is, so I won't toss any more in, but I can see that every Basque club has a few of these players - born in Basque Country, but lacking the nationality. Real Sociedad, for example, has about 10 of these players.

I did have a save before an intake, and I thought it was the one involving Pedro Perez, but I realize now he had already been at the club for a year, which means that I have not been at the club while any of these players have generated. Maybe it's just an issue that occurs to an AI-run Bilbao? I will report back if I have a broken player generate at the club during my tenure. Having another look at the players, there is one that generated wrong while I was playing - a player that was poached from my academy, born in Bilbao and poached by Real Sociedad, generated without Basque nationality. Unfortunately, the save I do have was from before my intake but after Sociedad's, and as such the player was already in the game at the point of the save.

Alright, that's all good info to know! With all that in mind, the only problem that's still sticking out to me as a legitimate bug (other than the RA crashing) is the deleted cities. Since, with the advice here, and what I've seen elsewhere, changing everything over to Ireland is the best option, I'll do that, and presumably the cities and naming issues will go too. It's still puzzling to me why every single non-local regen was from the deleted cities though...

I set the language to English and the region to UK & Ireland, but neither seems to have had any effect on the names of the players. My understanding is that does imply Andorra has it's own name pool. The impression I got is that manually updating the editor GUI requires using the Resource Archiver, which does not start on my machine.

So, I was attempting to make a database with a new, custom nation. However, I've been running into a few roadblocks along the way. Firstly, I ended up replacing Andorra, instead of an extinct nation, partially out of simplicity, as I wanted the nation to be Europe-based, and as the Resource Archiver immediately crashes on startup for my PC. This had a few implications, however. I had to remove all the existing structure of Andorra, which seemed to go well, but a few things refused to go. Firstly, the names. Every generated player in the nation has a Spanish name. As I was hoping for a name pool closer to, in particular, Canada, I tried to find a way to change that. The best I could do was to have every city in the nation be in a Canadian local region, but that also made everyone have Canadian nationality which isn't ideal. With this, the generated staff members still have Spanish names and do not have Canadian citizenship. Next, I noticed that my generated players were still generating out of the old Andorran cities, despite deleting them all. I tried changing all their attributes and deleting any club or stadium reference to them, but they still show up. It wouldn't be a problem, but for some reason any generated player not from the club's based town seems to be from one of these limbo cities, despite me trying to make them as small, remote, and unattractive as possible. I also tried changing those cities' nation to Spain, but everybody still generated from those cities, despite having no Spanish citizenship. There are about 40 custom cities and 10 broken ones, but I haven't yet seen it draw from my 40. I simulated a season in, and the generated youth candidates also have the same problem. These generated players I'm talking about are, I believe, a large part of the problem. I was hoping not to create a full squad for all 40 clubs I was going to create, but the start-game generated players are all really bad for their respective clubs. We're talking 80 CA players being generated for 9000 rep clubs, and as I wanted them to be serious competitors in Europe, that's not good enough. For me, the biggest problem is the name pool. The rest is not the end of the world, but I'd love to know if there's some way to manually change the name pool of a nation. I'll also try to throw 150 people into the nation to see if that does the trick, but I'm not sure if Andorra's existing name pool is too big for that to work, and I'd like a little more name variation than that. Anyways, any help is seriously appreciated, as I know these questions are all fairly obscure, but thank you regardless!
