[Swapping clubs in the US]

My local team, Birmingham Legion, is in the "USSL Eastern Conference" in FM, an nonplayable league. I want to put them in MLS, a playable league, by swapping them with FC Cincinnati, a current team in MLS. I am not having any luck so far. When I make the swap and load in the database, it still shows Cincinnati as being in MLS, even though I wouldn't be able to "select" them to manage.

I've swapped Championship clubs with Premier League clubs with no problem, and even Northern Premier League (nonplayable in standard database) with Premier League clubs. So I'm thinking this is a US-specific problem. Does anyone know how I can make this work? Thanks.

The screenshots show a.) Birmingham in the MLS, b.) Cincinnati's competition being the USSL Eastern Conference, c.) showing that I could manage Atlanta United (and that Cincinnati is still in MLS), and d.) that I CANNOT manage Cincinnati.

I'm trying to swap my USL club (Birmingham Legion) with Charlotte FC, who is set to join MLS in 2022. In the editor, I've gone to the MLS and under 'Teams for Next Season' where Charlotte shows up, I've just hit 'Swap' and inserted Birmingham. I then edited Birmingham's financials, stadium, etc. so that it's more in line with MLS clubs vs. a USL team.

Yet when I start up the game and load the edited file, it still shows Charlotte as joining MLS in 2022 and, when simmed ahead, they join the league in 2022 and not Birmingham.  Is there something I'm missing here? Is there anything else I need to do or should just swapping the teams be enough?

Thanks.

Hey everyone, this is my first time really getting into the editor and had a question about getting my academy to show up under the 'Dev Center' on the left panel and then again when I am actually in the 'Dev Center' screen.

For a bit of background, I am wanting to manage my hometown team that, in real life, is in the USL Championship. What I have done is 'swap' them with the incoming 'Charlotte FC' that is set to join MLS in 2022. I have successfully rebranded Charlotte FC to be my 'B' team located another city. They show up in my Dev Center. Ideally, I'd like to set up my B/Academy teams like DC United (DC -> Loudoun United -> Academy) that have their senior team in MLS, a 'B' team in the USL Championship, and then an Academy in the 'MLS is Next' division.  Screenshots are at the bottom.

The problem I'm running into is getting the once-named 'Charlotte FC Academy' to show up on my panel. If I use the original FM21 database, the Charlotte Academy does show up in the panel if I manage Charlotte FC, so something is getting lost in the edits. I changed the affiliation for the Academy from Charlotte to my squad and marked (I believe) all the boxes that make it similar to other MLS teams' affiliations with their academies. But it's not showing up. Am I missing something? Is there a box I need to check to make sure it shows up? 

Thanks for the help!

This is a simple question, but I'm new to the game and this specific download, and am having trouble finding the "graphics" folder to put the 2nd file in? All I have in my Football Manager 19 folder is editor data, games, languages, matches, and skins. I know I'm probably missing something, but any help is appreciated.
