Help with Historical Exhibitions

What I have always admired about OOTP is the many ways it can be accessed and enjoyed.

I like to take 2 teams from different eras and play a single game...what would be called a "Historical Exhibition" in OOTP-speak. I grew up in NYC in the 70's, so many of my games inevitably involve seeing how bad the mid/late 70's Mets really were (man, Seaver was a beacon in the darkness). I attended too many of those dreary games at dreary Shea with my dad back then. Unfortunately (from a baseball standpoint), my best memories are running up and down the Shea ramps.

But, I digress......

When I play these games, I have 2 issues that I cant seem to solve:

1. Player uniforms are all over the place, even different uniforms on the same squad. The mood is somewhat dashed when some of the players on the 1921 Tigers have purple uniforms like the 90's Rockies

2. Exhibition game always defaults to the generic stadium...even if I select a different stadium in the menu right before jumping into historical exhibition game. I have used Steam Workshop to download a few stadiums, but it seems the instructions indicate that these need to be linked to teams while playing historical seasons/careers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and a warm thanks in advance for any advice you could send my way.

I certainly realize that this game is meant more for people plowing through seasons and amassing great reams of data, but I just like to go into the lab and run my Mets against any host of challenges.

(I also enjoy Perfect Team)

Thanks!
