alian62 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Download the FM21 Resource Archiver from Steam and launch it. Click "Extract Archive" and find the file "comp editor.fmf" in your Steam folder "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2018\data" Select a folder to extract the files to In the new folder, find "nation.xml" an open it. Note that there are 2 files called "nation.xml", but only 1 has the following text: <!-- Continent --> <record> <flags id="field" value="Ncti" /> <translation id="name" translation_id="229389" type="use" value="Continent" /> <flags id="type" value="database_record_unique_id" /> <flags id="database_table_type" value="continent" /> <boolean id="is_client_field" value="true" /> <boolean id="is_read_only" value="true" /> <boolean id="is_optional" value="true" /> </record> Change row <boolean id="is_read_only" value="true" /> to <boolean id="is_read_only" value="false" /> Save the xml file Before you go to the next step, make a backup of your "comp editor.fmf" file in case the process goes wrong for whatever reason Go to the Resource Archiver and package the file back together: Click "Create Archive" and save the archive file in the "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2018\data" folder. Only overwrite the existing file there if you had made a backup of it. Launch the Editor and it should work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I want a Britain team to replace the home nations. Edited October 14, 2021 by Celtic501 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
