FM24 "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!

🔧 +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 name5. 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 game7. Done
⚠️ It's important to first load the +2 age and contract years in the pre-game editor and not the other way around.

🌍 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.
