FM24 "List of files I recommend for Football Manager 24 (20.09.25)
Added 2023-11-11 14:03:37 +0000 UTCFM24 "List of files I personally recommend for Football Manager 24"
🔧 My Personal Setup for FM24
🧠 Intro
There are so many great creations out there! I thought you might be interested in knowing which files I personally use alongside my “Increase Realism” Megapack.
In the latest update of the list I've removed Nik33's agents pack and added a real media file. I've also added Fez's Enhanced Turf Textures.
I'm aware that there are other fancy files out there people want to use but either they are incompatible in general or they will come with bugs in one way or another. The focus of my list is being as bug-free as possible while adding the highest level of realism as possible.
⚠️ Please Note
This is a personal preference, based on what I use myself. However, all listed files have been tested for compatibility with each other and with my megapack.
If any of these files get updated after this list was updated, compatibility might break. I’ll usually review updates monthly and check all files for compatibility.
At this stage, the list is designed to play in "original mode"
I usually won't comment if other files are compatible which aren't on the list unless a simple "yes" or "no" answer is possible
🚨 IMPORTANT
Only one extra file not listed here can already cause issues. If you report a problem, make sure you're only using the files listed here — otherwise, I may not be able to help.
Think I’ve missed something important? Or has a file stopped working due to an update? Please reach out!
I link only to the creators’ pages — no direct downloads. Big thanks to all those amazing creators! 🙌
📁 External Files I Use
🛠️ Transfer update by pr0
This includes transfers of all major leagues + new staff and promotions/relegations.
Link: https://fmpr0.com/
Use the following files:
✅FM24 New Staff
✅FM24 Transfers
✅Belgium Promotions
✅Bulgaria Promotions
✅ Cypriot Leagues & Cups
✅ England-Comp Changes
✅ France Promotions
✅ Greek G Ethniki
✅ Hungary Promotions
✅ Injuries
✅ Other Changes
✅ Promotions-Relegations & EU Places
✅Saudi Arabian Leagues
✅ Serbia Promotions
✅ Slovakia Promotions
✅ Spain-Comp Changes
✅ Türkiye-Comp Changes
Do not use: ❌ all other files, they may break the game.
🔧 +2 Age and contract years by sortitoutsi
For the best result, you need to merge the +2 age and contract years file with the transfer update by Pr0 ("FM24 Transfers (by FMTU)". This way you will get correct contract length and more realistic salaries.
1. Load the +2 age and contract years file in the pre-game editor
2. Click on "file" in the right corner and choose "Merge Editor Data (Database Changes Only)"
3. Select the file "FM24 Transfers (by FMTU)".
4. Save the changes under a different name
5. Delete the other 2 files from your editor data folder (2+ age and contract years and FM24 Transfers)
6. Make sure you select the file you've saved under a specific name once creating a new save game
7. Done
⚠️ It's important to first load the +2 age and contract years in the pre-game editor and not the other way around.

🔧 Licensing/Naming Fixes from fmscout
This includes real names for competitions and no more fake national teams Link: https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-real-names-license-fix.html
🌍 LEAGUES – MasterIgor's Megapack
Website: https://master1gor.github.io/FMSites/FM24/
I've worked close with MasterIgor myself and provided feedback — so it’s very reliable.
✅ All continents covered — just make sure to read the README carefully
❌ Do not use the following leagues: BEL, BUL, CYP, FRA, GRE, HUN, ITA, KSA, NOR, ROU, SRB, TUR, CAN
✅ For Israel (ISR), use his file instead of mine — same fix included.
✅ For Brazil (BRA), use his file if you want to play lower leagues in Brazil but then delete my Brazil schedule fix. Otherwise I recommend to use my fix and delete the Brazil file.

And this week ends on Sunday, please don't be pushy. I don't like that. Thank you
Daveincid
2025-09-19 18:38:07 +0000 UTCHi hope your well. Any chance this list will be updated soon? I asked last week and was told it was planned for this week
MadMike5090
2025-09-19 18:36:52 +0000 UTCit's accurate back then when I tested the files. each file which was updated since then I don't know
Daveincid
2025-09-13 18:25:20 +0000 UTCHi hope your well. Is this list accurate for your September update?
MadMike5090
2025-09-13 18:23:35 +0000 UTCyes
Daveincid
2025-09-10 15:36:41 +0000 UTCI use the latest downloads from you and from pr0, also merged the +2 years contract and FM24 Transfers file. So it's better to use the files in the 25/26 folder also? (and delete the other ones with the same name?)
Jotew
2025-09-10 15:36:05 +0000 UTCI'll check it when I update the list. Focus at the moment is my October update👍
Daveincid
2025-09-08 19:40:49 +0000 UTCFor the files provided by Pr0, in their download now they have files like "Belgium Promotions & Comp Changes" merged into one .fmf I notice you've specified only " Promotions" for some and " comp changes" for others - hopefully this will not cause issues.
Tom Mellish
2025-09-08 19:39:38 +0000 UTCshould work unless you get an error message
Daveincid
2025-09-05 08:06:19 +0000 UTCHello! I'd appreciate an answer: if I'm NOT using the "Belgium Promotions" file (by pr0), can I use "BEL.fmf" from MasterIgor's Megapack collection? I've searched the comments and unfortunately haven't found an explanation for this. That's why I'm asking :). Regards! P.S. I also do not use any update add-ons for seasons 24/25 or 25/26 (transfers, promotions, +2 age etc.)
Marcin Wiśniewski
2025-09-05 08:05:08 +0000 UTCno
Daveincid
2025-08-27 08:48:30 +0000 UTCHi Daveincid, can I use https://www.fmscout.com/i-25-26-real-fixture-results.html and https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-transfer-budgets-mega-fix.html ?
HIIHhiih
2025-08-27 08:48:05 +0000 UTCkannst du weglassen
Daveincid
2025-08-24 16:01:40 +0000 UTCHi dave.Kann ich das eine File "Promotion und eu places" von pro auch weglassen?Ich starte im Jahr 23 und hab auch deine Standard files mit drin, nicht die von 25 oder 26.Ich möchte halt mit zb Arminia Bielefeld in der 3 Liga starten, deswegen die Frage wegen diesen einen File, ob ich das weglassen kann oder ob es dann zu Konflikten kommt?
Chris00
2025-08-24 16:01:04 +0000 UTCNo, use the one's already there by default and delete both folders (24/25&25/26)
Daveincid
2025-08-20 06:30:43 +0000 UTChi, should i use your 25 26 season fixes in increase realism mod? i start season 2023
Kemas Ramadhan Syukron Alim
2025-08-20 06:29:00 +0000 UTCyou need to test it yourself. I do not test any England db because vanilla goes already down enough levels. More lower leagues will harm performance too much
Daveincid
2025-08-15 05:00:35 +0000 UTCIf there is england lower league database that is compatible with this?
Atom Atom
2025-08-15 04:03:50 +0000 UTCHi Michael. I'm good, hope you too?:) doesn't matter. It's a general recommendation
Daveincid
2025-08-12 09:35:37 +0000 UTCHi hope your well! Quick question, are the leagues listed as “don’t use” for master Igor’s pack for the new update or the old one? I noticed there have been some added leagues since the 01 August public update for your realism pack
Michael Walton
2025-08-12 09:34:06 +0000 UTCif the Brazil file was updated before I checked the list, there might be issues. You may have to choose between the two files and delete the other one. Up to you which one you choose
Daveincid
2025-07-28 20:29:21 +0000 UTCHi! When I added BRA league pack "league schedule fix brasil" file gives an error. I think I did everything right, but is the problem personal or general?
Emre Kamalı
2025-07-28 20:27:37 +0000 UTCFreut mich:) Ja, dieses File ist auch auf meiner Liste erwähnt.
Daveincid
2025-07-24 14:27:03 +0000 UTCHey Daveincid, ich bin schon lange dabei und freue mich jedes Mal, wenn ein neues Update von dir da ist. Vielen Dank und mach weiter so. Kann man die weiteren Files neben dem Agent Pack von Nik33 bedenkenlos neben deinen nutzen oder nicht? https://www.fmscout.com/a-nik33-fm24-data-packs.html
Marc W
2025-07-23 18:08:04 +0000 UTCmost likely that serbian file
Daveincid
2025-07-20 13:35:37 +0000 UTCHi, I am playing with custom file for all Serbian leagues and season 25/26 never starts, do you know whitch file is cousing this? I use all of your files and files from this post minus pr0 files and +2 age files.
Comers Sila
2025-07-20 13:17:47 +0000 UTCyes
Daveincid
2025-07-18 21:34:29 +0000 UTCHey, how you are doing well. Do you recommend the new FM Match Lab training.fmf overhaul file?
Cedinero
2025-07-18 21:32:09 +0000 UTCi mentioned pr0's file
Daveincid
2025-07-15 05:21:01 +0000 UTCWhy is the MasterIgor Cyprus file not included? Is there an alternative file you know of to play in Cyprus?
mitchrfc
2025-07-15 02:29:54 +0000 UTCThanks for fixing this contract issue so fast
Bouz
2025-07-13 09:46:57 +0000 UTCIt worked fine for me with the files I've tested
Daveincid
2025-07-13 09:09:21 +0000 UTCI know you tested your list but I do feel an urge just to ask that its fine using the pr0 file that includes promotion and relegation for italy (i assume its 'Promotions-Relegations & EU Places') because italy has had issues with the youth system for sortioutsi and the old pr0 italy file
liam cooney
2025-07-13 09:06:49 +0000 UTCyou're fine
Daveincid
2025-07-10 14:17:20 +0000 UTCHi Dave. I have a save going on following your previous recommandations ; using MasterIgor's Megapack except CAN, ITA, NOR, ROU ofc And pr0 ONLY 2 files : New staff and transfers . So I don't use Promotions/relegations. or anything else Btw I noticed BRA file from Igor and yours from last updates are no longer possible to use at the same time (I chose yours). Is there a problem with going on or shoud I better start a new game?
4rdennai5
2025-07-10 14:14:38 +0000 UTCyes to both
Daveincid
2025-07-10 12:50:07 +0000 UTCHi Dave. So, if I just want to play starting in 2023, is it safe to use MasterIgor's files sans Italy? Also, do I use your Brazil file or his? Thanks.
AJM1994
2025-07-10 12:41:04 +0000 UTCit messes up youth competitions after season 26/27
Daveincid
2025-07-10 08:12:15 +0000 UTCincluded in pr0's new staff file
Daveincid
2025-07-09 19:08:26 +0000 UTCWhat do you do about Ajax staff?
Fraser Wilson
2025-07-09 19:03:56 +0000 UTCPlease why i can't use ITA file from MasterIgor's Megapack ? I want to play in the 4th division
Kma
2025-07-09 11:30:20 +0000 UTCI'm aware of it. I haven't found a better alternative yet. The game is simply not designed to allow a proper replication of a 2 years later start with everything in line. It's important to accept this as a fact.
Daveincid
2025-07-01 19:19:29 +0000 UTCUnfortunately the combination of the sortitoutsi +2 age and contract and the Pr0 transfers causes the contract expiry dates to get messed up-
Bouz
2025-07-01 19:15:48 +0000 UTCHi Dave, it seems ianvou has updated their Colour Fix on sortitoutsi but not on FM Scout for the new season. https://sortitoutsi.net/content/63867/competitions-true-color-fix?page=3
domink23
2025-07-01 17:49:09 +0000 UTCno, it's an empty file. They just kept it to avoid confusion. I don't understand their logic but anyway, all is the same as it is at the moment on my list. I plan to update the list this weekend if it makes sense (if good promotions/relegations files are available)
Daveincid
2025-06-30 11:19:55 +0000 UTCHi Dave, I know you don't recommend sortitoutsi for transfer updates since they put everything in to the "changes" file but now I see they have a "new player" file, does this mean we could run the sortitoutsi files and just delete their "new player" file and use yours?
Stuart O Riordan
2025-06-30 11:16:51 +0000 UTCPogba is added on pr0s update available on his patreon but I think is available for free tomorrow or this week.
Stuart O Riordan
2025-06-30 11:11:56 +0000 UTCdid you add pogba ?
Esteban
2025-06-29 08:52:05 +0000 UTCthis is MY personal list of files so I mainly test files which I want on that list. I do not spend time to test other constellations.
Daveincid
2025-06-17 17:15:44 +0000 UTCHi Dave, I know that you don't recommend the sortitoutsi data update, but pr0s update isn't as complete as I'd like it to be, so I would still be using the sortitoutsi one. Is the only file from your pack that overlaps with sortitoutsi's the "new players" file, so with deleting that I can use both? I know their new players aren't as high quality as yours, though.
domink23
2025-06-17 17:12:26 +0000 UTCnot sure what you mean, it's on the list
Daveincid
2025-06-17 07:40:57 +0000 UTCso u dont recommand match lab this time ? i like this mod
Esteban
2025-06-17 06:54:50 +0000 UTC1. Sorry I only recommend one specific way to play. I do not have the ressources to check each way. Currently (as explained in the post), a lot of files from other creators are updated almost daily, so best way is to just be patient until the majority is finished 2. I can't sorry, as written above, I do not recommend sortitoutsi anymore 3. Only use the transfer update from pr0 and no other file which adds new players and you won't have any duplicates
Daveincid
2025-06-14 14:42:10 +0000 UTCHey Dave, thanks for the amazing jobs first! As a new gamer to the FM for several weeks, I have several questions to ask if you don't mind: 1. If I want to play the game as 24/25 season, I have got several old sortitoutsi update(like before 2025.5.4, looks like from that time they change the file logic), what file of theirs can be used with your mega packs together? 2. I saw you did give the solution of how to fixed issue with duplicated players before(from X history posts), I understand this Patreon content is up to date so you moved it, but can u share it again by another Patreon post? or any ways you prefer as the people like myself might not see it before you deleted. 3. As the following question from above, I have tried sortitoutsi and Pr0 both old version, but I have faced duplicated players problems(most are wonderkids), so if it can be solved, which one you recommend more as the roster update for 24/25 with your mega pack? Thanks in advance!
tc3126
2025-06-14 14:33:44 +0000 UTCAn old version of sortitoutsi but not sure which one and where it is for download. In terms of my files, all files in the folder 24/25 and the other files as usual
Daveincid
2025-06-14 09:54:00 +0000 UTCHey Dave, if i only want 24/25 season promotions and relegations instead of the 25/26 season, what files do i need to download?
Kieran
2025-06-14 09:41:46 +0000 UTCyou can still us sortitoutsi. Decision made due personal preferences
Daveincid
2025-06-10 06:11:18 +0000 UTCHey Dave, any reason for the switch from Sortioutsi's Real Name Fix to FMScout's? Can I still use Sortitoutsi's?
LJ Cool L
2025-06-10 01:01:12 +0000 UTCSince you dont recommend 'Italy' from the sortitoutsi update packs for the 24/25 season I would also assume to not go ahead and use the 25/26 update file for italy when it comes out before you release another edition of 'files you recommend' right?
liam cooney
2025-06-09 01:45:13 +0000 UTCWie im Post geschrieben ist die Liste meine "persönliche" Liste von Files welche ich nutze. Ich mache mir da immer meine Überlegungen. Die Zeit um alles zu erklären und was jetzt mit X oder Y ist habe ich schlicht nicht.
Daveincid
2025-06-07 15:04:58 +0000 UTCHallo Dave, die Files wie "Europe" z.B. aus dem sortitoutsi Update File sind auch nicht mehr nutzbar korrekt ? Gibt es da ein speziellen Grund wie beim Trasfer File wie doppelte Spieler etc ?
Brinki_B92
2025-06-07 15:01:58 +0000 UTCsure
Daveincid
2025-06-07 14:11:51 +0000 UTCHey Dave, If I still have all the latest 24/25 league updates from SortitoutSI, can I start a new save with your June Realism Pack, and the +1 age and contract years?
Jetrox
2025-06-07 14:11:32 +0000 UTCEs gibt keinen Crash, Stand jetzt kann man halt einfach noch nicht komplett mit der Saison 25/26 spielen und 24/25 wird auch schwierig weil sortitoutsi die Files ersetzt. Das beste ist also: warten
Daveincid
2025-06-06 19:45:58 +0000 UTCYo Bro, ich weiß die Fragen nerven - sagst auch, dass man fragen soll: Alle Liga-Daten von sortitoutsi ab 03.06.25 is klar. Frage ist jedoch, ob man einfach dann alle 24er-Ligadaten von sortitoutsi mit der Datei 'Ein Jahr älter' spielen kann? Oder beißt sich das komplett mit Deinen Patches? Oder man die Liga-Daten sogar mischen kann? Weil sonst spielt man die eine Liga Stand 23/24 und die andere 25/26. Halte da eine Fehlerquote für höher. Allerdings bist Du das Brain, der es sicherlich besser weiß, als ich.

2025-06-05 13:41:42 +0000 UTCmanchester united are in champions league with this list how can do it ?
Esteban
2025-06-05 13:41:00 +0000 UTCty it out. I don't know. As I explained there will be loads of changes in the coming weeks and I won't test daily. Next update of the list is in a month, hopefully with the majority of leagues testet for 25/26 season
Daveincid
2025-06-05 12:45:35 +0000 UTCcan I use the Turkey update from sortitoutsi?
Elliot Noble
2025-06-05 12:42:09 +0000 UTCyes
Daveincid
2025-06-05 12:18:26 +0000 UTCYou said it's possible to use some of the sortitoutsi for 25/26 - is it also pssobile to use contract and league files from 24/25?

2025-06-04 19:15:49 +0000 UTCThanks for the update Dave. I cant seem to find "🔧 Promotions/Relegation Season 25/26 +2 Age and contract years by sortitoutsi" - do you have a link?
Mikkel Krogh
2025-06-04 19:12:58 +0000 UTCas I already said multiple times, I'm currently testing the best possible options. The list will be updated once I found the best files. In the meantime, be patient
Daveincid
2025-06-02 15:20:52 +0000 UTCI'm trying to start a new save using your June mod, the master Igor files you recommended and the Pr0 update so I have promotions and relegations but it's saying I can only select one file per country, do I deselect master igors files and use yours and Pr0s? Is there any of the sortitoutsi files I can use, will players be a year older with yours and Pr0 files?
Stuart O Riordan
2025-06-02 15:03:15 +0000 UTCI can't recommend stuff which I haven't tested/isn't on my list. So you need to check it yourself

2025-05-30 10:23:27 +0000 UTChttps://community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/579464-fm24-england-level-10-now-released/ can I use this with the list？
Lyn_Kr
2025-05-30 10:22:13 +0000 UTCdoes FC'12 Kit Color Changes and Worldwide Stadium Improvements could be used with this list ？
Lyn_Kr
2025-05-29 02:06:20 +0000 UTCHow long may it take to remove all these new players if I have a high end processor?
Савелий Заворин
2025-05-27 02:51:37 +0000 UTCit can take up to 12hours to be complete depending on your system
Daveincid
2025-05-23 17:31:07 +0000 UTCHey Daveincid, first of all, great work. I love your Content! I have a problem with deleting the players from the "changes" file. When i try to delete them, like u did in the explanation, my pre game editor freezes. I tried deleting smaller batches, but even with 140 players at a time, the editor freezes
Fabio Brandt
2025-05-23 17:30:12 +0000 UTCI forgot to remove it. Remove it to be sure
Daveincid
2025-05-09 16:38:41 +0000 UTCI see the 'international changes' isn't mentioned on the list of files to delete from the sortioutsi data update, something changed in what they did for that to be compatible now?
liam cooney
2025-05-09 16:27:55 +0000 UTCI'll update my recommendation of the ME tweak next time. I forgot it this time. No idea when sortitoutsi changed it. I'll probably switch to fmscout's transfer update anyway. I do not want to support sortitoutsi's policy anymore
Daveincid
2025-05-08 14:07:41 +0000 UTCHi Dave, are there any recommendations regarding the FM Tweak Engine? Have you had any experience in this regard, or have you carried out any tests? You work with them now, don't you? Hi dave, sortitoutsi – Data Update & Licensing Fixes Relaxinator1's profile picture Sortitoutsi made a controversial change a couple of days ago by mixing their ~15,000 autogenerated new players into the main transfers file, instead of separating them. Relaxinator1's profile picture From which update was this change made? Can't I just download an older version of it to skip these manual changes? I didn't buy the editor, so I can't change this change myself.
Relaxinator1
2025-05-08 14:05:13 +0000 UTCyes, you can use it. I thought it's obvious because our collaboration, but I'll inlcude it in my next update
Daveincid
2025-05-05 08:09:02 +0000 UTCDave, one more question about compatible files. Are we okay to use the FMTweak game engine fix? Or does it mess with your files in some way?
LJ Cool L
2025-05-05 08:08:27 +0000 UTCFor me it took 12 hours mate xD
Arda
2025-05-04 11:20:47 +0000 UTCWhen I try to delete the 15k changes in the editor, it just hangs for hours. Is this normal? I've confirmed that it's still running; it isn't not responding or anything. It just stays on the 'Are you sure you wish to remove these items' as if it's processing, but I've left it for 2-3 hours and it's still not done. Is this normal?
Dan
2025-05-03 23:26:33 +0000 UTCit takes time. You can switch to another transfer file if you want. fmscout for example
Daveincid
2025-05-03 04:49:07 +0000 UTCHey Dave, as usual thank you very much for your outstanding work! It seems like when I try to do the "changes" fix, my editor always freezes and crashes (I assume because of how many changes its deleting). Would everything work fine if I just deleted the file itself? Or do you only recommend deleting the 15K extra players and keeping the file?
LJ Cool L
2025-05-03 04:47:36 +0000 UTCyes, all files mess up youth competition
Daveincid
2025-05-02 15:05:02 +0000 UTCHi Dave, is it intentional that no Italy file is in this list? That would mean that no updated promotions/relegations took place there, right? Regards

2025-05-02 15:04:34 +0000 UTCITA has bugs and the rest is incompatible with season updates
Daveincid
2025-05-02 10:08:42 +0000 UTCSorry to bother, may I ask you if you suggest not to use CAN, ITA, NOR and ROU leagues from Igor's files because they conflict with season 2024/25 updates or because they have problems / bugs even by themselves? I'm starting a new career in the original 2023/24 season with your files and I would like to know if I'm safe to include those leagues if I don't use any new season data update.
Massimiliano Donatiello
2025-05-02 09:57:17 +0000 UTCI haven't tested the latest files of the MTF. Once I'm happy with my list, I won't test other files anymore so you need to test it yourself. Cheers
Daveincid
2025-04-12 07:12:23 +0000 UTCHey Dave, can I still use the Deutschlandfile from the Meistertrainerforum if I delete MasterIgors GER file? Regards
domink23
2025-04-12 07:10:07 +0000 UTCHi Daveincid! Is your April file compatible with the current FMTweak v1.2 + AI Squad Rotation? I read you post that you are collaborating with them.
Brian
2025-04-08 01:15:27 +0000 UTCyou need a transfer upade file for that. I recommend sortitoutsi (as mentioned on the list) Cheers
Daveincid
2025-03-29 23:40:53 +0000 UTCHi Daveincid, I've got all the files enabled and working as you listed above. What puzzles me is Dan Ashworth is still at Newcastle United, and so is Amada Stavely as they both left in 2024. Mpappe is still at PSG who left in 2024 IRL without a future transfer arranged in FM24, and Raheem Sterling joined Arsenal on loan from Chelsea 2024, also Elliot Anderson at Newcastle Utd is down as having been signed for £35.5M in 23/24 for Newcastle when it should say Nottingham Forest. Ivan Toney at Brentford in FM says he moved from Brentford to Brentford for £36M, he moved to Saudi Arabia. I'm using your recent April Early Access files of yours with 292 Editor Data files enabled and was hoping for up-to-date player + staff transfers. Thanks, and just asking to clear any confusion from me.
SMiThaYe
2025-03-29 23:27:41 +0000 UTCno, but I'm currently testing alternatives
Daveincid
2025-03-22 06:40:21 +0000 UTCIs it safe to use the SortitoutSI Italy League now with your latest update from yesterday?
Malagant
2025-03-22 04:35:44 +0000 UTCI think its because the sortitoutsi database update alters the turkish league as well so using both breaks it, I'm just using the masterigor stuff for now
will
2025-03-20 14:25:08 +0000 UTCplanned for next week
Daveincid
2025-03-18 13:56:19 +0000 UTCHi Dave, will there be an update on the files anytime soon, as there are new sortitoutsi files and some of the older ones aren't working anymore? Regards
domink23
2025-03-18 13:54:59 +0000 UTCMy mods do not impact the conference league so it is definetly not down to my own mods. As written in my post, if mods on my list from others getting updated, there might be issues. I always check this once I'm updating the list.
Daveincid
2025-03-11 13:18:17 +0000 UTC@daveincid it is definitely not an incompatible file unless you are wrong with you megapack and recommend mods as I’ve downloaded only the mods you have put the links to and I’ve followed every instruction fully like removing Italy etc. So I repeat this is a problem with your mods
Michael Walton
2025-03-11 13:14:58 +0000 UTCyou must use an incompatible file. Never had this kind of issue. Even 1 file which I haven't recommended can mess up a save
Daveincid
2025-03-10 20:51:58 +0000 UTCI’ve also noticed that the conference league stops at the end of September
Michael Walton
2025-03-10 20:49:34 +0000 UTCIn response to my previous comment about it not working, I think I’ve found the problem but I have no idea how to fix it. When going through the editor data files (where you can select/remove all) I turned them all off and added them 1 by 1 There is 2 files that can not be selected if you want to be able to choose a game mode and start a game. The files are: - TUR (Türkiye) from masterigor pack - ISR (Israel) Once those 2 files where de-selected I could start a new game
Michael Walton
2025-03-08 03:38:54 +0000 UTCHi, I recently downloaded your megapack and all your recommendations and when I try to start a new game I’m unable to choose a game mode or click advanced setup or anything. How do I fix this?
Michael Walton
2025-03-08 02:57:23 +0000 UTCno idea, works fine for me
Daveincid
2025-03-07 14:32:15 +0000 UTCHi. I've installed everything here including the Megapack files. For some reason when I try to start a new game, I select all the database files and then the 'choose game mode' button is greyed out and I can't proceed. Do you have any idea why that might be? For info, it says I have 294 files enabled, with 297 in total. The 3 I have not ticked are your Finances, Reputation and New players files, as I'm using your 24/25 versions instead. Is this correct?
Dan
2025-03-07 14:31:24 +0000 UTCI always recommend my own work
Daveincid
2025-03-07 10:55:54 +0000 UTCHi Dave! There is a file called DataTweaks, it adds more young players than your "new players" file. Can I use it or should I use yours?
Luis Fernando Dos Santos
2025-03-07 10:55:30 +0000 UTCHi, could you please elaborate what MasterIgor's Megapack files are for? I thought it was for additional nations/leagues which aren't included in the base game, but I see that it has a lot of rule updates also? I want to start a game in the Premier League and probably stay at one club, so would it be pointless to add these files? Or should I use them for the additional rule changes or whatever else is included?
Dan
2025-03-03 00:19:34 +0000 UTCI might have found a problem in Argentinia... It's 2027, we're on the 30.01.27 and the season didn't start yet. I have no calendar, nothing for Liga Profesional de Futbol. I play with MasterIgor’s files!
AlexTheTall
2025-02-27 16:39:38 +0000 UTCHi Andrey, no idea what could be the issue here. I never experienced something like this. Cheers
Daveincid
2025-02-24 19:53:18 +0000 UTCHi, I joined recently and have issues using the latest pack. Seems like I followed your instructions very closely, installing only the files from the list (Realism pack, 2024/25 data update from sortitoutsi, real name fix+, agents file and few of the graphics ones. Plus, I tried it with or without MasterIgor’s files). Every time I start the game and after some playing quit FM, I get a crash on restart (something about language data being corrupt). Previously I used the earlier version of your pack (from June 2024 or so) and without the data update for 24/25 and never had any issues whatsoever.
Andrey Kapyshev
2025-02-24 19:51:37 +0000 UTCNo because they are usually all either bugged or incompatible. So currently no plans to do so
Daveincid
2025-02-22 22:18:15 +0000 UTCHave you tried any start today mods that work with your realism pack?
jack fleming
2025-02-22 22:13:57 +0000 UTCYou have no clue how crazy it was driving me when my Fiorentina U-20's league got ruined and I couldn't find anyone with the same problem online, thank you for testing!!
jack fleming
2025-02-22 22:12:49 +0000 UTCYou can use it. Their work is great. I just didn't have time to make longterm tests with a lot of leagues playable. This will be on if my focuses for the next months
Daveincid
2025-02-21 23:17:43 +0000 UTCHi, saw there is a new FM Tweak mod which changes the match engine. You said below that you haven't recommended similar for multiple reasons, could you please elaborate? As it sounds really promising and I was hoping to use it.
Dan
2025-02-21 23:15:01 +0000 UTCNo, the list already covers all of those areas
Daveincid
2025-02-18 15:36:22 +0000 UTCHi. Are any of these transfer update files compatible with your pack? https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-to-fm25-dlc.html https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-transfer-data-update-by-pr0-fmtu.html
Chiefdontrun56
2025-02-18 15:35:40 +0000 UTCSo if I'm supposed to delete the Italy file, there's no way to start with the 24/25 Serie A I guess?
Bouz
2025-02-14 02:26:06 +0000 UTCI saw it but it's nothing I recommend to use for multiple reasons
Daveincid
2025-02-09 20:28:15 +0000 UTCGood evening, football manager 2024 has a new engine Mod. I don't want to share this link here without your permission, so I just want to encourage you to look at it, test it and add it to your recommended list. You can search for it on Youtube or in your search engine. I would be happy to hear from you if we can use it.
Relaxinator1
2025-02-09 20:23:04 +0000 UTCno idea I'm afraid. I do not test those kind of files because they are buggy as hell in combination with most other files.
Daveincid
2025-02-05 12:53:26 +0000 UTCHi Dave, would you recommend this download if I want to start in the middle of this season? And are you able to tell me which files of the above I should delete to use this? Regards https://www.fmscout.com/i-24-25-real-fixture-results.html
domink23

2025-01-30 16:02:17 +0000 UTCGood evening Dave. When you refer to MasterIgor's league pack, and deleting your Israel file, you mean the "Israel Player Contract Fix"? Thank you

Βασίλης Ηλιόπουλος

Daveincid
2025-01-24 13:41:05 +0000 UTCHi Dave, I have a question. What do you think about this file? https://www.fmscout.com/i-24-25-real-fixture-results.html If I remove the conflicting leagues from the Sortitoutsi Data Update and use this file instead, will there be any problems?
Emre
2025-01-24 13:39:42 +0000 UTCyes, all files on the list are fine
Daveincid
2025-01-17 18:05:25 +0000 UTCHi Dave, I think there was an update to the sortitoutsi "FM24 Data Update" since you made this post. The "Club finances" file has disappeared. Is it still safe to use all the other files, except of course "International Changes" and "New players". Thanks

Daveincid
2024-12-18 07:01:41 +0000 UTCHey Daveincid, I saw you answered a form of this question in the Realism thread, but I'd like to be more clear with my question than the previous poster. If I already have Sortitoutsi's paywall database updates (Classic FM as opposed to the basic data update), does that make a difference? Or should I revert to their basic data update instead?
LJ Cool L
2024-12-18 03:43:46 +0000 UTCHi! Dave mentioned this database update here: https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update I would like to play with this file, but I've never done it before and don't know which of the following files I need for what: sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - +1 Age and Contract Years.fmf sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Remove Bans.fmf sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Remove Injuries.fmf sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Remove Media Predictions.fmf Could anyone here perhaps help me further. I just want to start as follows: With Dave's Increase Realism Megapack (I know which files I need), as a starting point (‘normal’) in the 2023/2024 season, but with the squads that are now in reality and with the teams that are now playing in the respective leagues. I don't need anything else (a change in injuries, a change in age and contract, a change in bans) unless I misunderstand something, because unfortunately I don't know what exactly these files are ‘responsible’ for. Sorry for asking such a stupid question, but I'm not familiar with such a file yet, but would like to play with it and don't know what some files do. I hope I have not expressed myself incomprehensibly or confusedly. I apologise for the long text. I hope it's ok to post it here like this. I hope you all have a nice day and have fun playing with Dave's great files!
Heinz Ostermann
2024-12-12 14:16:49 +0000 UTCNo idea. sorry! No recommendations for such low levels because they aren't balanced out for my files
Daveincid
2024-12-12 13:50:24 +0000 UTCHello Dave, Could you tell me if the FRMO (France) update might be compatible with your database? I'd like to play with the National 3 in France. Or would you recommend another update for France? Thanks
Nicks2180
2024-12-12 13:49:10 +0000 UTCHi Dave, after there have been changes to the sortitoutsi data update, I guess the only files we shouldn't be using from it by now would be the "International Changes" and "New Players" (as there's one in your pack) files. Is this correct? Regards
domink23
2024-12-08 09:20:58 +0000 UTCyes you can only use 1 file. I recommend to use mine unless you really want to start a career in Canada or Israel
Daveincid
2024-11-30 21:13:48 +0000 UTCThere is a conflict between the Canada and Israel files in your Megapack and the ones in MasterIgor's Megapack.

Daveincid
2024-11-17 19:04:23 +0000 UTCHi Dave, sorry for asking you another of these questions, but I wondered if I can edit MasterIgor's Croatia league file to get some promotions/relegations for the 24/25 season of the 3rd and 4th division? I would not change anything else of course. Regards
domink23
2024-11-17 19:03:40 +0000 UTCshould work
Daveincid
2024-11-07 21:26:27 +0000 UTCHi Dave, as my favourite team plays in the German 4th tier, I changed the promotions/relegations for the 2024/25 season of that tier via the editor, plus some stadium changes. Would this alter/overwrite any other files you mentioned above, apart from obviously changing the teams competing in the 4th tier? Thank you in advance and for your great work! Regards
domink23
2024-11-07 21:25:54 +0000 UTCHi Dave. Thanks for your continued releases and updates! After the FM25 fiasco, I decided to finally buy FM24. I wanted to know if your realism pack is compatible with the new classic FM24 by the sortitoutsi guys: https://classicfootballmanager.com/ In particular, there is a new file included "Classic FM - Non Dynamic Data.fmf" that is not present on the standard update (the free one). I am not really interested on the new feature of dynamic stats. Do you have any idea what does this "Non Dynamic Data" file do? Thank you!
Julian
2024-11-04 00:38:41 +0000 UTCHi does your worldwide award file add new awards? If so which ones?
cameron Mcshane
2024-10-30 04:44:55 +0000 UTCChanges overwrite eachother, so I don't know which file would works properly. I don't expect major issues but there might be smaller ones. If you've just started a new save like yesterday, I personally would re-start
Daveincid
2024-10-18 13:45:26 +0000 UTCHi, I started an October file with the changes for 24/25. I noticed that in your update the file of Sortitoutsi "Club Finances" is no longer compatible. What effect would this file have on my game? Is this to be viewed critically? Should I start a new game? Thank you and greetings
Relaxinator1
2024-10-18 13:42:50 +0000 UTCHello my friend. On the MasterIgor different nations page, when you click on the link to download CONCACAF, you get the COMMEBOL link. Could you please inform him? Thank you!
Josemainez
2024-09-27 22:26:00 +0000 UTCthey are added in the September updare. As mentioned, the best way is to start in year 2023 but with everything updated for the 2024 season. The files needed are mentioned in the list
Daveincid
2024-09-17 20:00:30 +0000 UTCHi. In your August update you mention about starting in the 24/25 season, and that there will be further files in the September update. Was this added in the September update? And what is the best way to play 24/25? I know you can't move the start date. So would it be to start in 23/24 and then to holiday for a year, or what? I just basically want to play this current season 24/25 with new updated squads and teams promoted/relegated etc., I don't care about any changes to the Champion League formats being updated or anything like that.

(Wonderkids) etc?Weil ich mich an der alten Liste empfohlener Mods noch orientiert hatte.
Chris00
2024-09-13 11:16:08 +0000 UTCno, the most accurate way to play the 24/25 season is to start in 23/24 with the files on this list. A proper start like it's FM25 is not possible
Daveincid
2024-09-09 13:56:59 +0000 UTCIs it possible to change the start date of FM24? For example, by a year? And if so, it would be compatible with the recommended data?

cameron Mcshane
2024-09-02 01:57:29 +0000 UTCHi Dan, as written in the latest info, I'm planning to update the list as soon as I've tested league files for the 24/25 which aren't buggy. If you're using the files on the list, you should be fine. I can't say much about files I haven't tested yet. Cheers
Daveincid
2024-06-30 10:53:32 +0000 UTCcorrect
Daveincid
2024-06-30 10:51:21 +0000 UTCHi Dave. Thanks for your continued releases and updates! I was just about to start a new save with your latest update but I was going through these recommended files and noticed that pr0 is releasing an update tomorrow. Are these still compatible usually as long as I stick to the 3 files you mention? Or do you ever periodically update this list?
Dan
2024-06-30 10:50:01 +0000 UTCProbably I should currently load your CANADA SQUAD REGISTRATION FIX file and not the Canada file from MasterIgor's Megapack? Sorry, this is probably an unnecessary question, as your files usually always have priority with me
Nobnab
2024-06-28 22:10:56 +0000 UTCIf I would've tested it then they would be on the list:) I'll check them and add them in my next update if it works
Daveincid
2024-06-16 06:49:37 +0000 UTCDaveincid, have you tested your files with the four history add ons (Robs History Update with trophies and ATCH/ETCH/ITCH)? Or would they not conflict because those files only mess with historical data? I remember you recommended them with your files from last year, but I haven't seen you recommend them yet in FM24.
LJ Cool L
2024-06-16 05:05:18 +0000 UTCJapan is covered by MasterIgor. I haven't tested a file for the new ACL, so I can't recommend something which I haven't tested

2024-06-13 10:39:46 +0000 UTChi, what files do you recommend for japan and the asian champions league specifically? i saw that workthespace uses yours and igors files for surrounding leagues etc but wasn't sure who the creator of the asian champions league files was. thank you
Annie
2024-06-13 10:21:03 +0000 UTCI'll update my list at some point this month
Daveincid
2024-06-02 05:28:43 +0000 UTCpr0 released his June update for the transfer & data packs today. There appears to be several more files included than the previous version had. I'm going to assume that we still use the 3 files you recommend, but I thought it was worth mentioning in case there is anything else in there you might now recommend?
Dan
2024-06-01 22:54:05 +0000 UTCno, they are dynamic

2024-03-12 20:46:47 +0000 UTCHello, does anyone else have the issue of not being able to access Igor's leagues? I keep getting an error message saying "Website is archived." Thanks and best regards! _________ Hallo, hat noch jemand das Problem dass er auf die Ligen von Igor nicht zugreifen kann? Ich erhalte immer eine Fehlermeldung "Website is archived". Danke und beste Grüße!

2024-03-12 19:27:40 +0000 UTCI haven't added any new wonderkids in any of my files. This may be due to some duplicates in passion4FM's wonderkids file. If not, you may use another file which conflicts with files on my list.

2024-02-21 10:42:53 +0000 UTCI got two Guilherme Ruck. I just found that out and now my save is messed up. Also, Estevao is already supposed to be in the original database, why has he been replaced?

2024-01-07 16:35:30 +0000 UTCI haven't tested Oceania yet. They were just published a couple of days ago
Daveincid
2024-01-07 16:35:13 +0000 UTCDo you only recommend the Asia and South America files by MasterIgor because you only tested these ones, did you just not update the list yet or are there other reasons for not recommending the other files?

2024-01-07 16:33:03 +0000 UTCHey Dave, thanks for all your hard work! I was wondering if DanFMDatabases English Lower Leagues (the one featured on Sortitoutsi) works with your realism pack? I have never seen it added to your recommended files list, but I figured i would ask anyways.

2023-12-26 04:12:41 +0000 UTCFile is okay, I missed that one :D
Daveincid
2023-12-08 07:55:14 +0000 UTCI noticed that the only file you left out of the sortitoutsi name fix pack is the Manchester Utd fixes file. Was that intentional? Or is that file okay?
LJ Cool L
2023-12-08 02:36:54 +0000 UTCI haven't tested it yet but it should work
Daveincid
2023-11-24 05:16:55 +0000 UTCHey Daveincid, do the extended histories files work with your realism pack? Rob's Histories work with Fuller FM's, and Fuller's worked with your pack last year, so I'm assuming it should be fine, right?

2023-11-24 03:53:53 +0000 UTCshould work.

2023-11-20 11:43:51 +0000 UTCCan you check if this file is compatible with your files?https://sortitoutsi.net/content/63944/worldwide-stadium-improvements-fm24-edition
