finleya1234 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hey! I'm aware this thread is probably about 4 years old now but I was wondering if someone could help me with a similar problem as USASoundersFan's? Basically, I have put some kit packs I downloaded online into 'Doccuments/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2020/graphics' and this works fine, no problem. HOWEVER, I would like to remove the official licensing Football Manager has for leagues like Germany, France and Italy so that the standard licensed kits do not appear in game, only the downloaded kits I've into the folder I detailed above. Hope this makes sense and someone sees this! Have no idea what to do myself! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
USASoundersFan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 If I'm understanding you correctly, you'd still follow the steps that I detailed to remove the standard licensed kits that you'd like to remove.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 You don't need to mess around with deleting the graphics fmf file, you just need to extract the xml files and when the game cannot find the licensed image it will revert to showing the default images instead: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I don't really play anymore, haven't in a couple of years. (I don't currently have any games downloaded, and 22 was my most recent purchase.) Regardless, you can always copy all of these files/folders somewhere safe so that you can put them back where they came from if anything doesn't go according to plan. Or place them all somewhere safe in a manner that tells you where they came from. But if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask and I'll answer as best as I can next time I'm here. And I can help explain what I wrote about the 20 game if that helps. (Note that if you're playing a more recent game than 20, some of these steps may be slightly different.)
