Hello everyone!

So finally, it's here! FIFER's FIFA 20 Realism Mod 3.1. The most complete mod for FIFA 20, and maybe, ever. Has everything you'd ever need, no need for any other mods (although you can use them!)

First of all, what about FIFA 21? Yes, FIFA 21 releases in less than a week for early access (October 9th full release I think), however, FIFA 20 modded is so much better than an unmodded FIFA 21, no debate. So hopefully, you can use this mod for longer than just until the FIFA 21 release!

Second of all, why did 3.1 take you so long?! 3.0 was released on the 4th of July! Yes, it was, but let me show you why 3.1 took so long. If you haven't already, check out the 3.1 reveal video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXLyAuXfXg8, and for a more overall view of the mod, check the 3.0 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMJTUk2Wdek

If you want to know a bit more about my plans for FIFA 21, I made a patreon post about them here, or watch a video about them here. You can also see progress on the new FIFA Editor Tool here.

Anyways, let's just go over some basic changes:

NOTES

Please read these, you will thank me later!

• With the realism squad file loaded, the game crashes on edit player on the main menu. This is just a limitation when adding so much new content. To edit players, use the live editor on team sheets or just edit player in career mode, which works fine!
• The Full Euros mod needs to be placed below the realism mod fbmod in the applied list.
• If you want to use fantasy kits or 20/21 kits (or both) with the BLM+NHS kits mod, put the BLM+NHS kits mod above the other mods to avoid issues (although for kits that the other mods change, you'll miss out on the badges).
• Optional face mods must be applied below the new and face updates mods in the applied list, and you can only use 1 per player.
• You can only use 1 manager outfit mod without issues.
• You can only use 1 menu theme without issues.
• You can only use 1 TV logo per folder.
• You can only use 1 Scoreboard per folder.
• Most national teams and added UCL/UEL teams only have a home and GK kit, no away. This is another limitation, although for the added national teams, you can toggle a mod that replaces a certain (or multiple) team's home kit with the away. Check the "National Team Away Kits" folder in the "Other Addon Mods" folder.
• Half sleeves mod only works with a certain combination of settings and a certain kit collar
• The 20/21 career start mod needs to be applied below the realism mod fbmod
• Squad file doesn't contain winter or summer transfers. Read below for the reason, and more info.

Why no winter or summer transfers?

We get asked this a lot, and it's a valid question. Here are some even more valid reasons:

• It's a realism mod, the career starts in the summer of 2019, so the squads replicate that. Manchester United didn't start the 2019/20 season with Bruno Fernandes or Van de Beek, did they?
• It's not a 20/21 mod. Although there is an addon for the 20/21 kits and to make the career itself start in 2020/21, that's what they are, addons. They are just for a bit of extra fun, not something huge or that serious.
• Effort. It takes a really long time to do the transfers in a way that wouldn't have issues. Like, a few weeks. And if we waited a few weeks then FIFA 21 would already be well underway.
• FIFA 21 is out so soon! So why spend so much time on the squads just for them to be useless in a few weeks.

However, if when FIFA 21 releases, there is enough interest for a 20/21 FIFA 20 mod, then I will consider doing it!

And, there will be squad files with winter and summer transfers made by the community that are compatible with the mod, eventually.

Finally, you can have winter or summer transfers if you really want. Either manually add them to the realism mod squad file yourself, or just download latest squads from EA (no summer transfers) or somewhere online that has both. However, not using realism mod squads will make lots of features not work, like added tournaments, new national teams, new UCL/UEL teams, realistic ratings, etc. You'll also lose faces and tattoos, but you can add those back with the lua scripts.

Finally, a huge, huge thanks to everyone who's worked on this mod! Here are the credits. It was a huge team effort that would not have been possible without these guys!

Finally, a huge huge thanks to all the beta and alpha testers who helped test the mod, and all the patrons who helped fund it! And a big thanks to you, for downloading and playing with the mod!

In partiicular, these individuals deserve praise for the amounts of testing they have done:

JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER FOR LIVE HELP, QUESTIONS, PROGRESS UPDATES, GIVEAWAYS, ETC!

Please, don't comment issues down below on patreon or message me on here. I will reply, but it will take longer and my answer may be to join the discord. The discord is faster, we can easily attach images, make text stand out, refer to channels, use commands, etc, it's much easier for me, and you.

So please, join here, it's free! https://discord.gg/DJxMEyk

Finally, how do I install all this?

It's not too complicated, don't worry. If you've already installed a previous version like 3.0 or 3.0.5, just remove those files, and import the new ones. Read the notes section of this post for more info on the specific order.

If you haven't installed it or need help, watch this tutorial, it's for 3.0 but the same applies to 3.1, just use the 3.1 download links instead, of course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciik0A9Cuq0

And for lua scripts, watch this: https://youtu.be/P2x5v7-PEr0

Again, HUGE thanks and credit to gnklein92, who did an insane amount of work. 3.1 wouldn't be what it is without him.
