Smart Shirt designer is actually a toolset you can download for free to design your shirts, created for FM players and there's a choice of like 10 brands, hundreds of designs etc. Only good for the shirt designs though, look 100 percent authentic If you're talking about making a 3D kit that is photo accurate for the in game match engine, then yeah I agree, hard to make one of those custom
As a person who never used photoshop before, doing a custom kit isnt really hard. Just download templates look at a few tutorials and you are ready to go
So. Since I already know how to make a Club. I am still confused as when I finish and Export it. It is either brandmarked into the default Database (Even unticking it at the advanced setup doesnt remove it) or it is not there. The Issue I am having is the Advanced Rules. Since I do not want to change Rules or Add Rules I can't access it. In FM20 it was way easier to aproach..
Any ideas if there's a way to edit staff members knowledge of certain countries? Haven't found anything that seems to relate to that from either in-game or pre-game editor.
I have a slight problem. Ingame the logo for my new club is a default. I've even deleted my old logo pack and installed yours, and followed your guide step by step. I doublechecked the .xml file a few times even. And I cannot, for the life of me, understand where the error is. Do you have any ideas?
Great video, really helpful! I am slightly struggling with the logo part. I just renamed Bristol City to Cambridge Crusaders, and I want to use the logo of Crusaders FC: Do I have to delete the Bristol City logo in the folder? And then add the Crusader logo with the unique Bristol City ID?
Very Nice video, i'm planning to make a league with my family as teams and was wondering how you would make players or add players to the teams. Cheers
Hi, ive created a new club and situated my new club within an existing city, but when i load my game up the city part of the skin says N/A but a team from the same city has it show up, any ideas why this is.?
Hi, great video, everything worked from the kits to making the club. However when I actually load up the game it won't let me select the the club. Is that because they don't have any current staff loaded or something? The team name is just greyed out when I try and select it.
Hi I’m having trouble with the editor. When I click on clubs to add a new one all the data isn’t loading like which city they r from etc. It is the same when I add a player it not letting me choose there club. Do u have any suggestions please?
I’ve made my club and when I go create new career they aren’t there it won’t let me change the database at the top right corner can someone help please??
I'm trying to find out if you can use this mode in multiplayer as doesn't look like you can? Can me and a friend create our own club, join the championship (while removing 2 existing teams)???
Hey mate, cheers for the very helpful video. Just wondering if I can use a logo that's already another team's logo as my custom team's logo? How would I go about doing this? I don't mind if that means the other team cant have said logo, I won't be seeing them anyway.
Hey Matt, yes this is definitely possible. You’d just have to make a slight amendment in the config file. You would need to change the club ID that it references to yours! I hope that makes sense
Sorry to bother, but I followed the video to make my own club, however upon attempting to load it, it says the file needs to be tested and verified before being used with this database. Any solution? Thanks
Hi Ethan, unfortunately sometimes that happens and it needs to be tested. However, that is where my knowledge ends. If you could contact @TheFMEditor85 on Twitter, I'm sure he could help. He is my go-to guy for databases!
So I've made a custom logo. I cropped it down to fit the rest of them (200x200). I added the custom logo into the folder with the rest of the logos, with the same name as the unique club ID. When I go to edit the config file, it isn't there. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Great video btw :) helped me out alot
Yes for sure. So you need to add a line into the config. Open the file in notepad and add a line in following the same pattern, just in the instance of the number, use your clubs ID number
ive created my own club and put the thing in config, which id is it? The one in the editor or the in game on? Also ive tried both and the badges still wont load :/
Loved the video but struggling to link created stadium with custom team.This is my first attempt at playing FM and feel rather stupid. Can you help pls(or anyone).Thanks
Yes of course. If you go into your club and when you go to add in your stadium, select the field titled “name” and there you should be able to search for the stadium
hi mate, just wondering if you can help. on the contact types section i selected Amateur. As i progress through the leagues i can still not change my contracts to part time and offer a wage. is this my fault and have i made a mistake. thanks
Yes that’s totally normal. Just the way things work down in those depths. Congrats on being semi pro already. I reckon you will turn pro going into L2. That’s usually what’s happened to me
@@HoodGamingUK Ok thanks mate. But one of my friend has made a create a club and is already allowed to offer part time contracts and I can’t will I have to wait longer?
It all depends on a club by club basis. For example, in the National League, you will have a mix of pro and semi pro clubs. All depends on finances and reputation
Hello! I think i have a lil problem, when i create a club i dont have to choose city, year founded, local region, dont have also reserve team to choose, stadium... where is the mistake?
I used the editor to create my own club, created kits and logo's using Photoshop but if I add everything to fm21 it somehow does not work. I can see all the kits and logo's from every other club. My own do not show up. Can you tell me how to fix this?
@@HoodGamingUK Yes did that. I used the exact same setup as you did in the video above. I can't find out what I did wrong. As I said earlier I did the same thing in FM20 and it worked.
That would be my first suggestion, alternatively did you set the club founded date to 2021? Because remember the season starts in 2020 so might not be classed as an active club yet
Hello, only just seen this vid. When I go into my logo pack it says I can't edit it bc I don't have an app associated with editing the file. Any advice on how to fix this problem?
Hi mate, love the video. Followed all the steps but when I try to load up the game it says that the data file needs to be tested and verified in the editior before use. any idea how to do that?
Thanks, this was a massive help for me to put my own custom club into the National League South. I am now trying to do the same with MLS but can't get it to work. Even though I swap teams, the old team still appears, my team is unselectable but appears in the supporters' shield. anyone got an ideas?
I did think this, however would creating the config file along with it work? Or will the correct config file be hidden somewhere in another folder already?
Everything for me works normally, I put the logo in the folders, change the word document for the team id, made sure that was all correct, but then my logo actually doesn't show up in game.
How did you fix it? I created a logo, named it after the teams ID and placed it in the logo folder with the rest of the logos. I can't find the file in the config file however. Im losing my mind
@@jonperans You need that config file my man. You need manually add it to the config file. So copy one of the lines of code. The name of the logo goes into the start of the line and the team id is at the end. 100% make sure that that is correct and it should hopefully work
Im having difficulty with the competition because it says there is an error as "there is only 3 teams" in the vanarama south even tho in editor it has a full list of them. Any advice wud be greatly appreciated
You need to go on ‘Finder’ on the top bar, then highlight the ‘Go’ tab. Hold down the option button on the key board and ‘Library’ should drop down on menu. Click on that and then it’s ‘Application Support’, then on ‘Sports Interactive’, then ‘Football Manager 21’ and then drop the database in the ‘Editor Data’ folder and it should work.
@@HoodGamingUK I created my own custom kits and badge, I also have a kit and badge pack already, but it doesn't seem to load them properly, I remember doing it a while ago back on FM 2018.

For every team, Callum?

how can I be the club president using this editor?
