crashes at week 8 year 8..any ideas

@dragoon Question posed a few months ago, but if anyone is wondering: yes. Add the custom logo with the file name matching the custom team, and put it in the same folder as all the others. Game will pick up any image in the Image folder with a matching name.

@Mr. Connor no, only God Mode disables achievements.

Does this turn off achievements?

How can we change conference and logos for custom teams?

Hi all, if anyone has the same issue I posted below, I figured it out. You need to go into game settings and re-point the "Team, Conference and Bowl logos" setting to this mod. The moving of the save file, does not update this setting, even with the mod installed. Quick and simple fix

Hi, Great Mod, really enjoying it. I move between 2 PCs alot and have learned how to move the save file. But I noticed on the 1st PC (where I initially loaded the mod), I have the images. While on the 2nd PC there is only the letter representing the teams. I uninstalled the mod on the 2nd PC and reinstalled - did not work. Any thoughts?

Is there a way to add images for custom teams while also using the images from this mod?

thanks! I'll try that out the next time I start up a new run.

@mhsmith I just moved the teams to your desired configuration. It was very easy to do in my opinion

thank you!

Thanks for putting this together!

@mhsmith - thanks for the suggestions - good stuff

That said this is a really well put together mod and it's a lot of fun to dig through what you have, and it's a huge improvement over the baseline generic team names. Thanks a lot!

I'd also say the Sun Belt is towards the bottom of the also ran leagues prestige-wise, it seems a bit weird to see them at the middle of the list league-wise. Mountain West also should be above MAC given that they poached Northern Illinois and not vice versa.

In Big Ten, divisions will be awkward because geography splits Illinois and Northwestern but what you have is as good as you can make it, though Indiana and Purdue are each other's top rivals (currently it marks Purdue's top rival as Illinois and sets Indiana to Michigan State)

For ACC I might do a West/East split, with the Florida teams (+ Georgia Tech and Clemson) as part of "West". It's awkward no matter how it goes, but that keeps Virginia with UNC and Virginia Tech with most of the Big East teams (other than Miami)

I'd agree with tweaking the SEC structure - West as Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and one more makes sense, but the fourth should be Missouri not LSU. Partially to balance the divisions a bit more, but also because LSU fits way better with Ole Miss and Arkansas in a division than with the western three. Missouri is awkward anywhere, but at least in the West they'd be back with Oklahoma from old Big 8 days, and also Texas/A&M from Big 12 days. Rest of league as it stands now makes sense in terms of shoehorning into a 16-team setup with four divisions.

@all - thanks for the compliments and community awards. Awesome people are enjoying this.

@mcduffiedawg2 - 1. That's built in to the game wrt which week games happen. 2. Again, FCS games are put in to fill the OOC games that teams need. Controlled in-game. 3. Understand this, certainly. I could probably dial back the frequency of some games. But I do believe it is doing what normal IRL team scheduling would do to preserve those rivalries. IE some SEC team have been playing each other for 80 years in conference. What happens when they are not in the same conference? Do they keep playing? Probably. But how frequently. That's the kicker. No right answer to that. Thanks for your interest.

Jeff, I have 3 questions about "scheduling, to see if it would be a pain or not to implement.
1. Is there a way to make the biggest rivalries in Week 12 or 13? I have seen many such as the Iron Bowl show up in week 9. Just a little immersion thing.
2. I see FCS games pop up every once in a while. Can we put them at the bottom of the schedule list for like 10 million or whatever fits in your opinion. Just as another option each year.
3. After realignment, I have seen 2 non-conference rivals show up in a given year with non-conference scheduling. It is tough on the home vs road game thing and enough home games. I am not sure I have an answer if you are a team like Clemson, UGA, UK or FSU and their rivalries. I had this happen a lot playing Missouri with old Big 12 teams. It was very cool seeing Mizzou vs Kansas though.
Great job and I mean great job. I have never paid so much attention to recruiting "proximity to home" and "academics" and "playing time" as I do each seaso

Hey bro I love the mod, thanks for making it!

Wonderful mod!

This is sweet! Thanks!

confirmed as working - don't need to start a new game. Helps to unsubscribe then resubscribe then restart game

you're welcome - helps to add a little realism IMHO

awesome! I love the mod as a new player to CFB thanks for the great work!

I've added League and SEC conference trophies. Other conferences to come in the coming weeks. It turns out to be job to make these to the quality I want. Let me know what you think of them.

yes .. trophy images to come .. first few will be coming here shortly

will you be updating this and adding trophy images?

Good point on the UNC issues. UVA is a huge rival. And like the SEC, moving teams around in the ACC and the small divisions is a problem for one team or another. I'll have to give it another look.

The Ohio State logo IS correct in this Universe and Logos pack .. not sure what you're looking at - maybe another universe (default?)

My man, as an Ohio State fan seeing us with the name "Ohio" and the logo for Ohio University kills me. You have the wrong image for Ohio State! Please fix

You bet bud. You do a great job. For instance Notre Dames pod in the ACC is perfect. The ACC is tough too. Having Wake Forest and Syracuse with those Florida teams is not ideal, but I get it. You didn't want FSU, Miami, Ga. Tech and Clemson all in the same division.

A huge rivalry for UNC is Virginia believe it or not. I am not saying they should be in the same pod, but if you can make it one of those out of division or out of pod rivalries I would. If UNC ever decides to go to the Big 10 or SEC, Virginia will go with them. Not Duke or NC State. Watch for that. UNC is the belle of the ball so to speak right now for those conferences.

You're welcome. And I'll give those SEC divisions another look. The whole SEC rivalry situation and 4 team divisions isn't ideal. There really is no "best" there. Whatever is done, there will be one or two teams that would scream, "noooo!!!"

Thank you for your work on this!

To add to that, LSU vs Ole Miss is arguably both's second biggest rivalry.

Not sure how to get to Jeff. But one change you should probably be made in the SEC. The Georgia and the Alabama pods are right. It is the other two. They were planned to be LSU, Ole Miss, MSU and Texas A&M. That was the original intention as A&M did not want Texas to join.
They were promised a home game the first year Texas joined due to this. Same for Arkansas vs Texas and Missouri vs Oklahoma. The other is Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas. The one you have with Texas and A&M together now is too unbalanced. You can still make them a rivalry game like you do others.

If you want a semi-realistic universe of the highest division of college football, this is it.

Thanks guys - I'm not very familiar with college football but it seems really interesting. Would it be a mistake to use this mod for a first playthrough? Am I missing out on other divisions or anything?

@LemurKing They might mean Jeffmod universe instead of the vanilla fictional universe, or the slight deviations in the Jeffmod versus reality (Indiana and Rutgers not in the B1G, Notre Dame in the ACC, divisions in conferences that don't have them IRL).

This is becasue the game only supports conferences of certain sizes and division alignments.

It's a version of current reality for the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) - the highest division of NCAA football. Not everything is exact - but it's a very close version. The closest you'll see of the universes.

I just got the game and see a bunch of people talking about the "JeffMod" universe - is this an alternate / fictitious universe or is it just replicating real life?

Version 20 has been uploaded. This updates the prestige rating to include the 2024 season. I've also only included the latest 5 seasons (excluding Covid year) for the prestige. I've also reconfigured conferences to include the latest moves for the 2026 season. This includes UC Davis moving up from FCS. I've also added FCS Sacramento State to the Pac-12. And again, there are some teams that are in the Pac-12 to fill that league up to 10 teams. Enjoy!

Jeffmod is God

Great job!

The best universe by far. Thanks Nokie!

The GOAT

One of the mods I get the most utility out of in my life. Thank you for the incredible work, NokieVA and anyone else who supports you!

Hell yes, workshop support paying immediate dividends.
