FM 2026 Misc Graphics - 3D Stadium Megapack for FM26 (v2.0)

3D Stadium Megapack - Features:

The pack features an initial 155 stadiums from the top 5 European leagues, as well as Brazil, Argentina, US and more!
For more information, consult the google sheet (linked towards the end).

It contains a custom made crowd system which has seen a significant performance boost causing nearly no stutters or lag, even on older hardware. The animations might look janky, but they will be worked on during post release support and updates.

Mac Support
Unfortunately the file does not work for Macs.

Bugs:

Considering my level and skill in programming, it was only going to be natural that bugs would happen. I have not received any mention of either game breaking, save corrupting or other catastrophic errors. The bugs are relatively minor such as the position of the ball not always aligning or the referee and linesmen disappearing for some reason. Just like the animations of crowds, they will be ironed out over time.

If you come across a bug, feel free to let me know, but do so respectfully please 😀

I also need to stress again, it will not work on macbooks with apple silicon, and steam deck is still experimental. I will therefore not provide technical support for issues related to apple silicon.

3D Stadiums Megapack - FAQ:

- Will it be free?
Yes. 100%! If you see it somewhere and they're charging for it, step away, (kindly) report it to me and I will take the required actions if need be. My mods will always be free in its core, with you having the option to send a donation if you wish to do so!

- Will it work on FM24?
No. Plain and simple this will not work in FM24 due to the difference in game engine.

- Do I need to start a new save?
Nope! Fully compatible with your saves as well as match history. So if you won the final of the UEFA Champions League in your home stadium, you can replay it with your ground 😉 this is also the case for saves from FM23 and FM24.

Credits

Lastly, this has been a mammoth effort, but could not have been done without the support from everyone who has been involved. In the google sheet there is a credits page and if I forgot to put anyone on there, let me know and we'll get it sorted because this has been a huge collaborative effort from so many people on the background and the talented PES modders. Just insane!! You guys will all get a mention on here too.

Thank you everyone!

Consider Supporting

If you think to yourself is there a way to support this? Then a donation would help tremendously. Feel free to do so at either PayPal or Buymeacoffee, but only if you actually want to and can! Also consider supporting me on Patreon if that is more in your alley!

  • mhajiloizis's avatar
    before I download this now, is it working fine with the 26.2 update?
  • npil's avatar
    Amazing work and you deserve a lot of credit; things that the professionals at Sports Interactive should have sat down and done to offer us a worthy game, you did as an amateur and with genuine passion . I would like some help—since the pitch in the default template is terrible, how can I add yours to a stadium that already exists in the template? i play greek league

    Hello, when I try to download the file, it downloads 3GB or 4GB but then stops halfway. What's the solution?

    The file is: FM26 3D Stadium Megapack "Going European" Update 2.3

    Hello, great work, I have great respect for you. I have a question for you: will there be stadiums for clubs from Ukraine?
  • filip991's avatar
    the Napoli stadium is not working. i can't start the game, it crashes every time
  • philou1507's avatar
    Hi,

    I have a problem with PreZero Arena (TSG Hoffenheim). Sometimes the colours are very dark. And the supporters fonrt of me are all in white.

    Thank you for this amazing work !

    Best regards,

    Philippe

    @stam well Norton quarantined the file that apparently contained it then the game would not work i assume if i try to do it again it will just do the same thing
  • Stam's avatar
    @danniboiiii: I can't be sure but I can only assume that should be a false positive, possibly due to triggering the game's anti-tamper mechanism. BassyBoy has no history of sharing compromised files.
  • danniboiiii's avatar
    @stam is there any reason why the files from this stadium pack would contain a Win32/MalwareX-Gen RAT? that's the worrying thing
  • Stam's avatar
    @danniboiiii: You may backup your saves by going into the 'games' folder (\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\games) and copying them elsewhere. I wouldn't reset the whole game, just verify game cache files if you are on Steam. Steam > Library > Right-click on FM26 > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files. That should restore original files in the game's setup folders without affecting the addon files in your user folder (in documents).
  • danniboiiii's avatar
    followed the steps my antivirus flagged up rat trojan malware and then it broke my game, and that's annoying because I just spent hours putting player faces and logos onto the game and now I have to reset the whole game and potentially lose my saves as well.

    Anything you can do with sub benches it looks stupid
  • Floppy's avatar
    Hey Bassy got a question about the mod (sorry if someone else has already asked about). If a club decides to rebuild or upgrade their stadium will the changes be visible or only be shown as a stat in game? As an example if Allianz Arena gets an upgrade will it be noticeable or the model of the stadium stay the same?

    I am having a few weird issues at St marys stadium the ball is black and the home fans are in what I can only describe as red jump suits. When I played Portsmouth at Fratton park half of the crowd were in complete darkness. The pitch in some of the games looks like the floodlights have failed too. Love the stadiums though BassyBoy just any ideas on how I can fix these issues.
  • ajooba's avatar
    Got it! Actually I removed the 6 files. Played a little without. Quit the game - moved the files back into the FM26 folder. Started the game again without problems :-) Thanks for your work champ!
  • BassyBoy's avatar
    Ajooba, the pop up you'll see is actually the anti tamper for the game. If you click on next you will go to a website and you have to copy your unique Denuvo code to verify the game with them. I don't know what triggers it, but after that, it'll be fine!
  • ajooba's avatar
    15 hours later it says: "The server is not reachable. Check your internet connection and click Retry"

    I removed the 6 files. Now its fine again but without your mod. Damn! How to fix it? I did google it and I'm not the first one with this issue...
  • ajooba's avatar
    Amazing work! Gamechanger. Without stadiumbackgrounds and backgrounds in general I found it soulless. Not anymore :-)

    I did give it a try some weeks ago but my laptop couldn't really cope. A big laggy but now its great. Thanks. Really you should be hired by sigames as someone else wrote. The new match engine is great but the stadiums lookalike. Once again - thank you very much!
  • Frankee's avatar
    Does the in-game editor now work with your great work?
    I couldn't find any information about this in the update
  • BassyBoy's avatar
    Hisociety, I don't know. Something you need to try yourself.

    Jeffnmgn, will add more Dutch ones down the line :)

    Klapco, time to get a better PC then buddy as testing showed it works well on hardware from 2017/2018.

    Also, it works with today's update.

  • jeffnmgn's avatar

  • jeffnmgn's avatar
    After the update later today will this still works? Or do you need to update it again? Thanks for this
  • Hisociety's avatar
