FM26 "Increase-Realism"-Megapack APRIL BETA (20.03.26)
DESCRIPTION

Hi everyone!This months update’s focus was mainly to fix all the bugs which occured due to the latest update of Football Manager.The majority of the files had some kind of bugs. The most affected ones were „Salaries, Market Values and Sponsors“ and „CA/PA adjustments, new wonderkids & others“, „New players (duplicates)“. In total there were over 4'000 manual adjustments needed (yikes).Other changes:„CA/PA adjustments, new wonderkids & others“ also received a lot of further edits beside the bug fixes, such as nationality switches of Paul Wanner or Carney Chukwuemeka.I’ve also changed some reputation parameters of players. Injury bug:There was/is also a bug in the injuries-file where a "soft-lock" appears when a player get's a cold or "pulling a sickie". I've done some adjustments (already in ALPHA) to surpass this issue. 1. If the issue still occur, please drop a comment down below. Please ensure you're using all the updated files.2. If the issue is solved, please also let me know in the commentsFOR ALPHA users:I've done further edits of CA/PA's compared to the ALPHA, beside that, no other changesIMPORTANT:All files of my megapack were updated, so delete all old files before adding the new files.1. Place all files (not the folder) into:Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 26/editor data2. Start a new savegame to apply changes.3.a) If you want to play with men and women combined -» just use the file „Increase-Realism Megapack Women’s version“ along with all other files except the realistic injuries file (delete that from the men’s folderb.) women only: use all files in the women’s folderc.) men only: only use the files in the men’s folderPlans until public release:I'm currently struggling a bit with my mood due to a family member just passed away yesterday but I still hope to get everything that I've planned down below ready on time. If not, I'm sorry, I try my best:) RIP Travis<3 1. Main work at this stage is testing/evaluating to find out if there are major changes with the latest patch. I already done a quick analysis of a vanilla save-game with the latest patch vs my modded version.2. I’ll update my „custom game setups“ which will contain Africa aswell. (planned for this weekend, Tuesday the latest)3. Update my „List of files I recommend for FM26“ (planned on next Tuesday evening)On a personal note:I won’t deny that this years FM cycle is bumpier as in previous years which also makes my job harder to do. There are a lot of complains online, even from big creators and even mods in the SI forum. I do understand some of them but I’ve decided to not be vocal about it, it simply doesn’t really help anyone.I do provide feedback to SI on bugs or things I find, which in my opinion is the „most productive“ way I can help. But generally speaking, this time of the year is always difficult for me as long as there are still updates incoming and I need to re-check all the work I’ve done (And due to my work get’s bigger and bigger each year, re-checking get’s more difficult too xD). At the beginning of this years cycle I wrote that I see so much potential in this years game and I „trust the process“. A risky statement indeed and I do get a bit nervous that this could backfire hard during the last months...but I really see the light at the end of the tunnel, thanks to official bug fixes and especially thanks to modding. I’ll do my final verdict once the last official update dropped and the most important mods are working as expected. I hope for a 8/10 as a final score, but time will tell:PLong story short: I’m really looking forward to the moment when the last official update was released and I can start „fine tuning“. This is it for this month, if you have questions, please drop them in the comments instead of a PM, it could be that you’re not the only one having the same question:)I also want to say a big thank you for all of your support, especially this year. I know that other content creators are struggling but for me it’s mainly „business as usual“ which is key for my productivity (I’m still autistic and I hate changes xD So boring consistency is my best friend^^)Thank you <3CheersDavidLink:https://www.mediafire.com/file/alli0c3euvzqsl2/FM26_IncreaseRealismMegapack_APRIL_BETA_%252820.03.26%2529.zip/file
