Changing Stadiums in Historical Exhibition Mode

ArquimedezPozo · 05-10-2020, 04:22 PM

I asked this in the General Discussions forum, but maybe it's better here - I'm not new to the game, but I'm new to a couple of the things I'm trying to do right now, including trying to add modded historical stadiums in as playable in a historical tournament with teams from multiple eras.

I've seen threads from older versions of the game that talk about going to a team page and adding a stadium just as you might in a regular season mode, but maybe things have changed in the last couple versions because I can't figure out where to do that - there doesn't seem to really be a team page in the historical exhibition mode. Best I can get is the dropdown on the play ball screen, but that just offers me the stadiums that are listed for the teams in the tournament, which - if not modern stadiums - just use the default.

As an example, I downloaded the Tiger Stadium 1980-1999 zip from Silvam14 and Adion, and copied them as described into the models folder, but got nothing in the exhibition. I tried going into a historical season sim and adding it to the Tigers there and it worked, but then I tried the exhibition again - still nothing.

The stadium listed is simply "Tiger Stadium" so I tried changing the file names from "tiger_stadium_1980" to just "tiger_stadium" and THEN the historical sim gave me the dropdown option of Tiger Stadium 1980... but it was still the default stadium.

So, I'm stuck, and would love some help - am I missing something obvious here? TIA.

If you're on Steam, you can download (via Steam Workshop) Major League Stadiums 1901-2019 by Silvam14 (uploaded by Garlon). Once you install this mod, you should see the correct stadiums whenever you use Historical Exhibition mode.

Thanks, but unfortunately I'm not (or at least I didn't buy the game through it) - is there any other way to get the mod?

Okay, I worked out a file naming convention that got it to load! All set. Thanks, but definitely let me know if there's a way to get the mod, which would make it all a lot easier!

Could you please post your solution so others, myself included, may learn as well?
