Nik33’s Data Packs have been adding small extras to Football Manager for 16 years, one file at a time, so you only install what you want. This is the 16th edition, for FM26, with more than 10,000 views and 1,400 downloads.
What’s included
- Club Colours: fixes the club title-bar colours, based on each club’s logo and tradition;
- Club Names & Nicknames: adds nicknames for teams and nations and fixes full and short names (Brazilian, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, French, Italian and others), without losing the nicknames like it happened with .lnc files;
- Competition Abbreviations: updates more than 150 competition abbreviations to match their licensed names.
The author also has extras on separate pages, such as Realistic Competition Colors, which we already cover.
How to install:
- Download the pack with the button above and extract the .zip file to get the individual .fmf files.
- Put the ones you want in the FM26 editor data folder (Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\editor data). If the folder does not exist, create it.
- Start a new game and select the files you need in the database list, before the advanced settings.
The author also has a topic on the Sports Interactive forum.
The files are hosted by their original authors. FMPortugal only points you to the official download page, and all credit goes to the people who made them.
