Hello Editor Hideaway,
I'm looking to create a promotion system between the top division of the Northern Irish league (sports direct premiership) and the bottom division of the Premier League (vanarama National league) perhaps throw a playoff between the relagating from vanarama and the top team from the Sport direct in Football Manager. Could you please guide me on adjusting the pre-game editor settings for this? Specifically, I need assistance with modifying the promotion settings for the Northern Irish league and the relegation settings for the Premier League.
Thank you!
Not sure this can be done using the In-game format because you can't promote teams from one country in to a league from a different country.
You could move the Northern Ireland Prem in to the English Structure as a Third Division at the Vanarama Regional division level but they would lose the rights ro enter Europe from that division and each team would need to have english nation set. You might be able to trick the game into thinking that the division is still Irish somehow but you could eventually end up with a division that is really small if loads of teams get promoted!

Can someone create a file? It's gonna be fun. Or how can I create myself?
Off the top of my head it can be done by essentially copying the existing world cup, creating a new competition in the database for the main cup and the qualifiers and then changing the rules so that only over 35s can be registered!

@Wolf_pd @rusty217
I have a similar problem to the issue in FM2023 where competitions are not generating records again. I have used the workaround like last season, and although it works fine with leagues, it doesn't appear to work on cup competitions. Has anyone else noticed this issue and if they have, how has it been resolved?0 -
I'm looking to find a way to stop a team qualifying for promotion, that finishes outside the promotion positions when an ineligible team finishes inside the promotion places but is ineligible for promotion.
I hope that makes sense. What usually happens is that if a reserve team finiahes first then the runner up goes up, however what I want is for promotion to stop altogether in these cases!
Feel free to ask any further questions, I've just never had any luck of reproducing this within the game!
Thanks in advance

@themodelcitizen Good work with the file. I have added my World Cup Fix to this file (obviously not published) and this works ok together. I was just wondering if you were still looking at the new Nations League format? I think i'm going to leave it alone to be honest as getting the playoff to work was challenging enough without messing about with a different competition.
The way that SI have portrayed the North American structure is poor really. Hopefully they will improve on this in the coming years,
Thanks for your efforts with these files

Hi, you would basically need to create your own competition. Qualification from European Leagues to the UEFA competitions is pretty much hardcoded so you would struggle. There is a guy who designs his own continental competitions "UEFA Revival" (Google it) and he may have done something like you've suggested.

The first thing i did (ages ago) was change the format of the playoffs so that 4 teams qualify rather than just 3. I then moved the dates around so that the GC setup after the playoff was arranged, which didn't work. I've tinkered about with it, and I've changed the way the GC picked the qualifying teams, so that it only looked at Nations League and Playoff and not the registered teams. I also noticed that in "other stage rules" an option was selected to make teams from stage 1 of GC qualify for the next GC... that was wrong. Since i've done that it appears to work fine and i have great pleasure in sharing the steam link with you below.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2996674702Please note that the file also includes a World Cup Fix (12 groups of 4 instead of 16 groups of 3!) although i'm still trying to work out how to replicate the normal tournament style (Winner of Group A plays Runner Up of Group B, etc) so if you have any ideas on this i'd be grateful.

I have tested a fix up to 2027 for the CONCACAF Gold Cup... i worked on it ages ago to no avail, but I've made a few changes today and it looks like I've got it to work as it should. I'm going to run a test overnight to make sure that it is working properly and if it does, I'm going to stick it on steam.

I couldn't get any of my changes to show up when I was trying to mess with the Gold Cup, might have another go at some point this summer
EDIT: Have added Pan Arab Games to the Arab U20 Cup file now that they're taking place again
It's a right mess of a file isn't it! If i ever manage to fix it, i'll let you know!

Some quick checks on the final (?) official update without any of my files, doesn't look like they touched any international stuff.
Gold Cup playoff qualifying still broken despite being raised with each update, I might be tempted to try and fix this, along with stadium selection for CONCACAF tournaments.
Asian Cup still hasn't been moved to January next year, can hardly blame them as this is a one-off and would require adjusting everything else. Likely won't touch it for the same reason.
WAFF still happening in the summer with 9 teams who played in an older edition, no rapprochement with Qatar like IRL. My WAFF file just cancels it to recognize the indefinite postponement (plenty going on with Gulf Cup, Arab Cup etc).
Hi, i'm interested to find out if you managed to fix the gold cup issues? It's proving quite a stubborn thing to sort it!

It's an FM bug, not just the editor. Competitions with empty record pages never update. IIRC it affects some default competitions too, not just edited ones.
There's an easy workaround though, add a record. Anything. Just add a 1-0 win in the biggest win or something (include both teams and a date). As long as there's 1 existing record on the records page every single one will update correctly. Plus if you just put in a 1-0 win, it won't be long until that record is broken removing the fake record.
That's a brilliant piece of advice, thank you so much. This trick doesn't seem to work for the youth/reserve leagues but seems to work for 1st team competitions. It's very frustrating how buggy the game is at the moment. SI really need to sort it out!

Yeah I think that could work. For anybody trying though, you probably shouldn't use fate actions. The vast majority of times people complain about continental competitions not working correctly it's because they've used fate actions to try to qualify teams and have messed things up. It doesn't work like that. It all has to be done here:
While I think it would be possible, I still see 2 potential issues though. Firstly, it would be a playoff for the 4th European place, NOT the 4th UCL place. Drop down the rankings and maybe you end up with a 4th-7th playoff for the Europa league where both finalists qualify anyway making it pretty pointless. Secondly, it may have issues with the 2024 format change where England can regularly get a 5th place. I'm not sure how/when exactly the extra place is applied, but assuming it would be after the league is fully complete, the team that's 4th would probably get it if they lost the playoff, and the team 5th if the 4th team won the playoff. If 4th is guaranteed a place win or lose the playoff it's again kind of pointless.
To get around this issue you would create two versions of the league. Version one would be a default, however version two would need to have requirements to only run if there are 7 Automatic European places. I'm assuming you can set rules where it excludes teams already qualified, however a euro places playoff is quite complicated to duplicate!

Hi all. I don't think i've ever come across this before but in my custom Welsh League database (down to Level 8), new competitions are not generating records during the game (see picture of Aberdare League).
Competitions that are already within the game (see picture of Swansea League) have their records generated automatically.
I've tried to copy a league that generates the records within the advanced rules, and i've also tried to add a history record to a competition that doesn't generate a record, but neither have resulted in a fix for this problem.
It's a very minor detail, granted, but i'd like to come up with a solution to try and avoid this in future versions.

In real life, these division levels don't have teams in the FA Cup. If you were to intoduce teams from these levels you would need to start the competition a lot earlier than the start of a season,

There are occasions where the game compensates for competitions or teams with the same UID's but obviously not on this occasion.
I'm really frustrated with the Editor this year, and the game in general. There are lots of broken competitions, that you just can't fix! I've spent hours and days doing things to try and make my game experience better but i've got to the point now where i just want to play a game!

Thanks for your comments. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the clash is between my Welsh League file and the other databases please?

Update: The problem i have encountered is around the actual in-game competition and not the league rules I've set up myself. I'll update this page when i've fully tested everything.

I'm trying to make a real life competition which has 4 stages (different competitions) and at the end all of the results from these stages are combined to make one league table, very similar to that of the USA.
At the moment, I can get all four stages to run correctly, but I cannot workout how to get the combined league table to show up in game. I've tried using sub-leagues but that hasn't worked. I've tried the "stage results in to other stage" option, but this doesn't work. I've even tried setting up each stage as a separate competition but that hasn't worked either,
Is anyone able to assist with this?

Hi, have you tried using valid draw rules?
If you go to the first cup stage, and click on rounds, and then under each valid round click the option Keep "Teams From Same Previous Group Apart" and do this for each round apart from the 3rd placed playoff and final. I'm trying for my version of a 48 team World Cup, and i'm confident it works... the only issue I have is that, like you, i can't work out the cup-tie mapping to keep this fixed, but at least there is an element of realism by using the option.

Hi all, how would you go about inserting the extra teams using the "cup tie mapping" rules? really stuck on this one!

I have amended the World Cup (from 2026) to start with 12 groups of 4, moving to a round of 32. Obviously the top two automatically qualify, but the best 8 3rd place teams qualify as well. The file runs perfectly, except for the fact that the cup tie mapping doesn't work as i have asked it too.
I've added the group winners and runners up in "Tie mappings from previous stage" area and i've tried to set the ties in cup tie mapping section to replicate what usually happens, however i have left 8 spaces free for those teams that qualify in 3rd Place (don't know if this is right). It seems to work to an extent when you test it (not perfectly, but when i've run an in-game test the each group basically plays each other, and the matching in the latter rounds is off as well.
I've attached the file in the hope someone can assist me. I don't think i'm a million miles away with this either which is very frustrating.

Hi all. really random question, but would there be a way to activate female only leagues using the debug menu?
On another note, I've downloaded this file for the last couple of FM's, mainly just to activate continents within a country and also to add local regions. Love the addition of the U17 leagues. I was wondering if there was a tutorial for this tool so i can get a bit more benefit from this?0 -
Following on from my successful builds in previous versions, i am delighted to introduce you to my interpretation of the Welsh League Structure which in real-life goes down to Level 10, but includes reserves and youth teams in the main structure, whereas my file does not.
Information on the build
This file has been built from scratch, using data collated in an excel spreadsheet and turning in to an XML file using "FM21 Editor Generator ver 1.1". Once the XML file had all information for Local Regions, Cities, Stadiums, Competitions, and Clubs (the file was imported into the editor to make sure the data for each section was read correctly in FM), i then started to add the league formats in the usual way. Anyone building a file such as this, should definitely learn how to use this tool. It's brilliant and has saved me weeks inputting all the data directly into FM (Plus the data i've collated in excel can be used next year and will just need updating with next seasons teams.Highlights
All current clubs from Wales added to game and are playable (There are a couple of historical teams that i have had to add to keep the leagues balanced).
All main regional cups created
National Reserve League plus 4 regional reserve leagues added
Cymru Development League amended, 4 regional youth leagues plus 13 county youth leagues added)Difference to real structure
in levels 4 & 5 Central Wales West and East divisions merged with Mid Wales South and Montgomeryshire leagues to create three Central Wales League divisions of 16 teams
In Level 7, Gwent feeder leagues have been merged to make Gwent Division 3.
Various merging of County Divisions (Level's 5 and below) where there are not enough teams to make a playable league - Does feature most real-life divisions where possible.
I have added a reserve team structure as well as County Youth Divisions which may be different that held in real-life but is still realistic in principle.League Structure
The structure of the file is pretty straight forward and is as follows:Level 1 - JD Welsh Premier League (In game rules with tested working playoff)
Level 2 - JD Welsh North & South Division (In game rules with squad number fix)
Level 3 - Welsh Ardal Leagues - 4 Regional Divisions with 16 teams
Level 4 - 7 Divisions
Level 5 - 11 Divisions
Level 6 - 7 Divisions
Level 7 - 11 DivisionsCups
JD Welsh Cup (Added the real life two additional Qualifying Rounds to competition)
Nathianal MG Cup (In Game)
FAW Trophy (For teams in Levels 3-5)
Ardal Northern League Cup
Ardal Southern League Cup
13 Local cupsHow to download?

I'm assuming this process would work with non-Microsoft word processors and spreadsheets?
I've used a programme called WPS which is basically the full package of MS Office but made in China and you can't tell the difference. There is also a premium version which is also excellent with lots of gimmicks that MS don't have!

You would need to edit each European League separately! It can be done with different editor files though!
