timgaming060 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I use the FM19 pregame editor to make a custom database, and save it as both .xml and .fmf files. They are saved into Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2019 / editor data. I even put them into users / "my name" / Library / Application Support / Editor 2019 / cloud / editor data. When I try to make a new save, it says I have no editor data files ( when I do a new set-up). If I do an advanced set-up, and click on the button in the lower left-hand corner, go to load, I can't find the files anywhere (none show up). I can, however, import these files back into the editor to edit them again. Why?? Please help! Also: my saved game files only show up in the cloud, not in my local folders Also also: I think this is the main issue: I have macOS Catalina, which only runs 64 bit things now. The FM19 pregame editor is a 32 bit thing (but I can still open and use the pregame editor, and my save game files were used when everything was 32 bits). Basically, how do I get these editor data files to show up so I can start a new save game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 You need to verify your files before you can load them in game. Also try to clear the cache. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot open and run any 32 bit software with OS Catalina installed, the FM 2019 editor is also 64 bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how/where do I clear what cache? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The directory has changed on macs: Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows: Open Finder Click ‘Go’ from the menubar Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2020’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then put a editor data file in it. I then load up FM19, and the editor data file still doesn't show up I go to new setup, and it says I have no editor files.

KUBI Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 If you put other editor data files into the folder (from our download section) are they also not recognized? I'm off now. You are doing something wrong, just try again and also with other league files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used edit data files before, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong this time. EDIT: I do not have the same problem with FM18, however Edited December 20, 2019 by timgaming060 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timgaming060 Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 I uninstalled and then reinstalled FM19, and everything works now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sood88 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I'm having a very similar problem to this on FM24, but on Windows I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that hasn't worked.. I can however start a new career game with a downloaded database but my custom database is now showing as being available to play with 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
