I've been playing this file for hundreds of hours and not encountered any issues. I have thousands of hours in both the FM22 (2,298 hours) and FM23 (1,786 hours) editor making this. It has been tested through holidaying hundreds of times and multiple save games by me. My longest saves being on FM22 a save with Venus Bucuresti up to 2045 and on FM24 I have moved around clubs, from Unirea Alba to Rapid to Arges, in an ongoing save that is currently in 2041. I wasn't ever going to release this, it was purely for my own use since I have changed a LOT and wasn't sure if people would be happy with the changes. E.g. I have moved many players and staff back to their hometown/notable/favourite clubs which could be contraversial since this can be subjective in some cases. However, since FM25 isn't getting released I thought I might as well.
I also use an edited european file to make sure there are no schedule conflicts with Europe which I can upload if anyone wants it, but it's not necessary since the schedule should work fine with base european competition schedules (Without it, if you're in European competitions, every couple of seasons a game in March might be delayed due to the international break but that's it). Liga IV does work although I have spent less time on this than the other leagues. Plus the game takes ages to load with Liga IV as playable. My save file has Liga III selected with view only below. If you want to play just one Liga IV league I can make just one league playable and all the others view only so that the game runs a lot faster. Please let me know if anyone wants this. It's also possible to do this if you go into the editor and set all the leagues besides the one you want to play in as 'view only' and then make sure you select Liga IV as playable when you start the game. Almost every historical club has been brought back into existence and some of these clubs find themselves in Liga IV so it could make for a great save.
Anyway, there are loads of changes. I've changed players, staff, clubs, awards and the leagues. Also transfer preferences and countless league changes I've forgotten about. If changes to "Advanced Rules" counted towards the database changes figure then there'd undoubtedly be way more than 200,000 changes.
I'm well aware some people won't like some of the changes. For example in FM23 editor you can see what a player's highest ever current ability was and I have used this to increase players' CA to higher levels. Obviously I haven't gone too extreme with this. For example, Ianis Hagi has the highest CA around 165 since according to the editor this was his highest PA. Some young players also have increased potential but again not to the extreme, with similar logic used as to the aforementioned with Ianis Hagi example. I could write a lot more but honestly it's worth just having a look yourself. I use a custom kit files, a mix of old kits and some I even made myself so it's unlikely that your kit pack will match the club colours. I can upload my current kits I'm using if anyone is interested.
Also to avoid the long term unrealistic nature of Romanian clubs changing from FC to CS or CSM I have removed these elements from club names. I have done this because I did not think they were realistic long term. For example, if you took CSM Resita to the top of the football world, they would realistically become FC Resita; FM does not change club names in this way, hence why I have removed this part of the names so Resita is just called Resita. I apologise if anyone doesn't like this since I know it can be a big part of clubs identity. Feel free to change the name in the editor if this is the case.
Also if you're club doesn't have an 'II team' don't worry you can now request one and you will see it in Liga IV after one season of it being in Liga V. This doesn't work properly in the base game but I spent a while fixing this a couple years back. This works better when you have Liga IV at least on view only. Furthermore a lot of the smaller teams don't have youth facilities so don't get an intake. This is to stop player bloat in Liga IV and in real life many of the good Liga IV players will come from the top teams' academies anyway so I found this to be an apt solution. However dont worry, if you're managing a lower team that starts without an academy, you can request to imrpove facilities and you will start to receive an intake. This has been tested.
I hope you enjoy, please see some screenshots below: (Taken on FM24 with TCS skin)
Also worth noting in my personal save I use an additional file that makes it so teams outside of Romania are significantly less likely to sign Romanians unless they are truly worldbeaters which means that most of the great Romanians stay in Romania. However this does make transfers harder so I have not included those changes in this file. If anyone wants this please let me know and I can add it.
