How can I move this to the main forum?

I am trying to remove the relegation/promotion play off systems across all French leagues in the FM18 editor. Sadly, after months of trying I am unable to. All I would like is the following structure: Ligue 1: bottom 3 teams relegated to Ligue 2 Ligue 2: top 3 teams promoted to Ligue 1 & bottom 3 teams relegated to National Championship National Championship: top 3 teams promoted to Ligue 2 & bottom 4 teams relegated to Amateur National Championship I have been hit with error message after error message regarding incorrect number of teams across leagues, and most recently that the dates for Ligue 2 fall outside of season update. I live in South-West London and at this point, I would be willing for any skilled FM editor who believes that they can help me with this issue to come over to my house and solve this issue for money. Name your price. Flat fee or fee p/h, I don't care! Thanks

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me, or if they have experienced this before. I found an FM08-09 retro custom database online that is playable exclusively on FM18. In 2008-2009, the french league pyramid was structured on: Ligue 1 (top division): 20-team league where the bottom 3 teams are automatically relegated to Ligue 2. Ligue 2 (second division): 20-team league where the top 3 teams are automatically promoted to Ligue 1 and bottom 3 teams are automatically relegated to National. National (third division): 20-league team where the top 3 teams are automatically promoted to Ligue 2 and bottom 4 teams are automatically relegated to the French Amateur Football Championship (fourth division). The issue I am having is that the French football pyramid was restructured from this system into one where the team who finishes in 18th place in Ligue 1 takes part in a 2-legged play off match versus the team who finished 3rd in Ligue 2. This came into effect for 17-18 which is the competition format that FM18 editor currently holds. This same new format applies to the team which finishes 18th in Ligue 2, who must play a play-off versus the team who finished 3rd in National. I am proficient enough at editing, but my weak spot is competitions and no matter how hard I've tried, reverting the top 3 leagues in France back to its original format before 17-18 is proving to be a real roadblock. I have the editors of previous FMs where the original format applied (FM16, FM17 etc.) and have tried to take pictures of the French league back-end systems, so I can apply the same data into the FM18 editor but whenever I start up a new game to see if the changes have come into effect, it still maintains the post 17-18 French league structure with the play-off system. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Or knows of a fix to help me get back to the old French system? If so, I would be eternally grateful for any help or insight as this is proving to be the final obstacle in my way before I can fully immerse myself in my 08-09 retro save. If anyone replies I am happy to provide screenshots on what I am doing on editor to clarify the above. Thanks!
