jordan402 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 With FM 22 there was an enable mods option in Gamepass to allow you to add custom graphics, the same option doesn't exist for FM23. Is this version not going to work with graphic packs etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioNOW Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Bumping this to not go down into the second page on the forum as this is crucial information for everybody who is playing on Gamepass. Is is possible to mod or not? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRFC Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Just logged in to report this issue. The "enable mods" option flashes up but then immediately disappears for me, and it's impossible to click it. This didn't happen with FM 22. I've got Football Manager 2023 version 0.9.217.0 downloaded (the latest available version). I just want to know if this is a bug or if this is on purpose, because if we can't mod the Game Pass version any more, I would have bought a discounted copy of the game days ago (but it's no longer discounted)...

FMisback Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Hi. I have successfully modded this morning. There is no longer the need to enable mods in game pass app. Documents are on the same place as a steam install and the 2300 folder can be found in c drive program files windowsapps sports interactive data database db folder. Hope that helps 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps Thanks for this! However, I can't access that "WindowsApps" folder due to a permissions error - and last time I had this (trying to access the FM22 Game Pass files before the mod switch was enabled), and I fiddled with folder permissions, I ended up having to format my computer because of the mess it made (all kinds of authentication issues). I believe these folders are supposed to be "sandboxed" from the rest of the system so I'm not sure this is how we're supposed to do this - how did you access this folder?

FMisback Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 It just went straight in for me. Try a right click on the folder then into properties and then security tab advanced settings and you should be able to create read write access for yourself (you may need to open with administrator rights) there was an article helped me some years ago I remember it being a bit of a pain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRFC Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I didn't want to mess around with the WindowsApps folder (in my past experience, you can really screw up your Windows install doing that). However, I think I've just discovered what we have to do this year, to mod the PC Game Pass release. Far simpler than it has been in previous years... (IF it works for everyone!) Go into the Xbox app, click the three dots next to the game (i.e. Football Manager 2023), and a window will pop up. Ignore the fact that "enable mods" flashes up on the screen briefly. Click the second tab in the popup window (Files), and then click "Browse". That will take you straight to the install directory... no faff needed. (That was my experience anyway - not sure if that's because I've moved my default game install directory in the past.) Let me know if that works for you all!
