- PLEASE READ THIS
Two new Regen Mod variants have been added to the download.
Normal - This is the standard regen mod that you are all used to
NEW Variable PA ranges - This mod changes the PA values to ranges such as -10, -9 etc. This means that the actual PA value of a player will fall within a 30 PA range rather than being a fixed number, allowing for more variation.
When you download the update, you need to select one of the three regen files to use. Each variation has a day 1 save file to boot for those that prefer to use the save files.

Regen Mod options
Normal - This is the standard regen mod that you are all used to
Variable PA ranges - This mod changes the PA values to ranges such as -10, -9 etc. This means that the actual PA value of a player will fall within a 30 PA range rather than being a fixed number, allowing for more variation.
Known Issues
- Regen birth months have been changed for the FM26 version to avoid a bug with 15-year-old regens having randomised CA/PA. FM24 is unaffected.
- If you try and create a new save in FM26, it will not work. You either need to load the game via one of the pre-prepared save files or start a new save FM24 and use the save conversion feature. Sorry for any inconvenience. Start all new saves with the 24.3 database.
All save game files come with the regens preloaded.
