Football Manager 2024 Data Updates - FM24 Mod: All People 2 Years Older
A custom start date 2 years later wasn't a great option for us because all the key data files featured in our Season 2025/26 DLC for FM24 wouldn't have the intended effect. So we opted for the next best thing.

Make people 2 years older and their contracts expiring 2 years sooner.

This file handles the first bit, so even though you start the season in the summer of 2023, the players and staff will be 2 years older as if it was the summer of 2025.

FM24 Mod: All People 2 Years Older

How to use this FM24 mod

Simply move the downloaded .fmf file to your "editor data" folder that is located by default here:
documents > sports interactive > football manager 2024 > editor data >

Then start a new career game with this file enabled/selected from the database drop down menu on the career game setup screen.
It should work with any other transfer update file, not just our endorsed update (FMTU).

Enjoy!

    Thank you so much for this!
    This will make my FM24 experience so much better. I really appreciate it!

    @takashi I found a solution to this: you have to combine the sortitout SI -2 contract years file with SirTAVARES file with the FMTU transfer file

    So the order I did this in: I opened the pre-game editor and opened the sortitout SI -2 contract years file. Then I combined the FMTU transfer file first, then combined the SIRTAVARES -2 years file

    IF you do it that way everyone should have -2 on their contract years

    Maguire was not transferred, so the contract was not changed.
    It has been changed for players that has been transferred.

    For example Isak joined until 2031, in game it should be until 2029.

    @SirTAVARES
    It remains unchanged even when using FMTU. For example, Maguire's contract expiry date is still June 30, 2026. Do you have any tips?
  • SirTAVARES's avatar
    all the data are based on FMTU file.

    Most expiration dates in the file that you sent on patreon are wrong sir. @SirTAVARES. When will it be released boss? @Stam

    Will the contract mod be up today? Just waiting on that for the new save. Thanks for everything!
  • lolchamp444's avatar
    @Stam the contract file you are working on will it change both the contract expiry date and the contract start date?

    I have tried using a +2 age -2 contract year file from sortitoutsi, it changes the contract start date of every player (except the ones that signed this summer) by 2 years but the contract expiry date remained the same

    @88razvan: I can't replicate that. What browser are you using? Does this happen if you use a different browser?

    @KwechyZC: This file only affects ages and not contracts. I'm currently on a trip and can't finish the contracts mod. Hopefully I'll have that ready by tomorrow night.

    @IamOverrated: Correct. This mod doesn't account for new players/staff added by custom databases. It only affects the people who exist in the default FM24 database.

    @Jamie Aubrey: The point of this mod is to start in the summer of 2023 to ensure the files featured on our DLC picks work properly.

    I dont know if anyone else has this problem, but my file keeps downloading as html instead of fmf
  • KwechyCZ's avatar
    I'm sorry, it's only for some, for example, I noticed it with Benjamin Šeško.
  • KwechyCZ's avatar
    Unfortunately, the contracts are for a fixed period. So the contract is 2 years longer. :-( Or is there another file needed? :-) thx
  • IamOverrated's avatar
    It doesn't seem to work on the new wonderkids added, I used the notoriouspr0 version btw. Does that maybe make a difference?
  • SirTAVARES's avatar
    They will be 4 years older :D
    It's only to be used if you start on the default date (2023)

    It should work with any other transfer update file, not just our endorsed update (FMTU).

    Could I still use this with a file that starts in 2025 or would they then be 4 years older ?
