			<title>Stam - The State of Custom Graphics in FM26</title>
			<description><![CDATA[The following info was <a href="https://community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/593885-fm26-updates-to-custom-graphics/" rel="nofollow">originally posted</a> on the official Sports Interactive forums by <a href="https://www.fmscout.com/users/bluestillidie00.html">TCSSkin</a> who has a moderator role there, so it's definitely accurate.<br />
<br />
A few things have changed in regards to custom graphics on Football Manager 26. <br />
<br />
<div class="callout alert">SI will not provide any assistance for issues with custom graphics, please take any issues up with the creators of the pack.</div>
<h4>Important Note:</h4>
FM26 cannot handle multiple files with the same name. For example, if you have two files with the name &quot;kit.png&quot;, it will not load both. Every file must have a unique name.<br />

			<title>Stam - FM26 Staff Attributes not shown as numbers</title>
			<description><![CDATA[In FM26 instead of the usual 1-20 number for each attribute, we see words describing the numbers. <br />
<br />
I'm not personally fond of that, and sadly it's not an option to change in the game's preferences. <br />
<br />
But if you're wondering what each word means in terms of numbers, here's the mapping. <br />
<br />
Unsuited ➔ 1-3<br />
Reasonable ➔ 4-6 <br />
Competent ➔ 7-9<br />
Average ➔ 10-11<br />
Good ➔ 12-14<br />
Very Good ➔ 15-17<br />
Outstanding ➔ 18-19 <br />
Elite ➔ 20 <br />
<br />
I hope they add an option for us to choose how we want to see the staff attributes.]]></description>

I was saving both locally and on cloud, couldnt see à thing. Found saves in a temporary folder, as per the above. I think you then need to copy the file back to the Games folder]]></description>
