How to load a datapack into the game

Many people playing Football Chairman don't realise that, as well as the default English leagues, there are thousands of user-generated datapacks available featuring leagues from all over the world.

So if you fancy being a chairman in Spain, France, Italy, Germany... or pretty much anywhere on earth, you can load a datapack into the game and give it a go!

To keep the game database simple, you can only play with one country at a time, so if you do want to load an overseas datapack, you'll need to start a new career.

But it's a very simple process - just follow the steps below!

1, Go to http://football-chairman.net/data-editor/datapacks.php and search for a datapack that you'd like to use. Make a note of its unique ID number.

2, Load the Football Chairman app. If you're in the middle of a career already, save your game to our servers so you can always come back and continue that career at a later date. (To save, visit the Settings menu by clicking on the small "wrench" icon at the top right of the screen).

3, Once your career is saved, from the Settings menu again, click "Start new game".

4, After a couple of screens, you'll reach a page showing your currently loaded datapack. Click the white button on screen that says "Creating/Loading Alternative Data Packs".

5, On the next screen, enter the ID number of the datapack you want to load, and then click the "Continue" button.

That's it! Your chosen datapack should now be loaded and you can start off your career as a chairman in the country of your choice.

And don't forget, if you can't find a datapack you like, you can always create your own using our free online data editor! It's at http://www.football-chairman.com/data-editor/
