  1. Deleted 92 mod and picture files. Reinstalled all and now the pictures work perfectly. Really not sure what the problem was, but fixed now.
  2. Yeah, the correct folder is selected in details. I may have to delete the mod and pics and reinstall all to see if that fixes it.
  3. The people pictures folder doesn't seem to be working for 1992. All downloaded and installed correctly, but the pictures aren't being assigned to any of the workers. Edit: actually, none of the pictures work. Nothing is linking.
  4. Anyone got any tips on playing WWF in a 1992 save. I really want to do a WWF save but their TV schedule is so bad - I know it's accurate to the time - that I lose interest in a month. 3 hours of B show to book per week is mind numbing!
  5. Love this mod but I wish WWE wouldn't raid TNA at the start of the game. They weren't interested in Bubba, Christian and Rhyno so not sure why they come in for them every time. There was a lot of talk about Samoa Joe at the time so I accept that they go for him. Just find them raiding a little immersion breaking.
  6. Playing a 1997 mod. Just finished Wrestlemania 15. My champions are: Shawn Michaels (4) - WWF World Heavyweight Edge & Christian - WWF World Tag Team The Rock - WWF Intercontinental Val Venis (2) - WWF European Chyna (2) - WWF Women's
  7. For some reason, in one of my save games, I have women's wrestling turned off in my product but the auto-booker keeps booking women against men. Is this a bug?
  8. How big is the penalty for having a Face v Face main event when Face/Heel divide is turned on? My original plan was just to follow Mania 14 main event and have Austin take title off HBK as only HBK is more popular than Austin in my current save, but HBK is selling too much merch so is refusing to turn. Thought I'd just go a "I need to know who's better" route but don't want to tank my ratings.
  9. That's a great idea! Or at least an annual award for it like we see in reality.
  10. That makes sense. I suppose the storyline function can be used to indicate chapters of a feud.
  11. When you're booking some of these storylines, do you split them up into separate storylines in game titled Part 1, Part 2 for instance or do you just have one storyline running for 6-12 months and add in different workers? One thing I've struggled with is telling a 6-12 month story between two workers because they can't always be invovled with each other. Look at real life. Kane and Undertaker arguably had a storyline that ran for over ten years, but it wasn't a constant thing. They just kept coming back to each other periodically. I would argue the best storyline I've told was Val Venis v Owen Hart on TEW 2016 on a 1998 mod. The two of them had a match at King of the Ring. Hart won. Venis cost him his title shot. The fought again and Venis won. They were then forced to team together and inadvertently became tag champions. Over time, they came to respect and like each other and gave themselves the name Breaking (Owen using the Sharpshooter) & Entering (Venis.... you know...) and were the top team for around 6 months. When they finally lost the titles and Owen started getting more singles success, Venis couldn't take it, cost Hart the WWF title opportunity again and the two were set to meet at Mania to settle the score. Owen once again came out victorious, but as he started to leave the ring, a tearful Venis grabbed him, shook his hand, hugged him and raised his hand in victory. They both returned to singles competition, teaming occasionally when needed. The success of this storyline made both main eventers.
  12. Good suggestions, but already done Sid v Goldust for Marlena, and Shamrock and Perfect are both face at the moment, but I will be turning Perfect down the line when he ultimately loses the European to a young worker who is starting to get over. Also, Owen, HHH and Mankind are already Major Stars in my company. My Major Stars are HBK, Taker, Austin, Bret, HHH, Mankind, Bulldog, Owen and Sid. The lowest pop in that group is Sid with 87. I'm using the IC belt as a secondary title for the lower Major Stars to give the rub to younger workers. Owen got over feuding with Austin for the IC belt and now The Rock is feuding with Austin for it, but with Rock still plagued by the note that gives poor form, I'm thinking HHH needs to hold it for a while, or maybe put it back on Bret on the way down.
  13. Yeah, I had Austin and Bret fight at Mania 13 for the chance to challenge HBK in the main event. Double turn as it happened, and then Bret defeated HBK with help from the reformed Hart Foundation. So, since 13, HBK has feuded with Hart Foundation, with help from others intermittently, and culminated in HBK taking the title back from Bret at Summerslam. Now, with Owen getting over big in my save and Bret hitting time decline, I thought it was time to have the brothers feud up until 14 where Bret will pass the torch to Owen. I also have HBK not liking Austin getting so popular with the fans and WWF pushing all their ads and merchandising towards him, so he is slowly turning along with another disgruntled worker in HHH. Kane is about to debut. Faarooq legitimately got injured so Rock is taking control of Nation of Domination. All stuff I can work with. The problem is my midcard is so weak, I have very little to work with between the marquee matches. I'm struggling to tell the stories because I'm struggling with the weekly content. I have tried getting my midcard over by involving them in the big HBK v Hart Foundation feud, but it seems like the only midcarders to do well from it are Owen, Hunter and Mankind. My midcard is basically Goldust, Shamrock, Sid and Mr. Perfect and I'm struggling to create content with them. Perfect is European champion and has a weekly open challenge to try and give lower workers the rub. The other three just feel stale.
  14. Nothing! Finished Summerslam '97 and lost all inspiration! Don't know where to take my storylines or my wrestlers!
  15. This reads like the slow degradation of wrestling in America post-2001!
  16. TEW 2013. 2004 mod. TNA save that ran for 4 years. Was unemployed at the time though, so had nowhere near the time while employed to put in any significant time on this and every other game I want to play. Closest I've come is a 2 year save on 2016 with a 98 mod, but lost interest around 2000 as WCW dropped to cult and I was Global. However, currently at 9 months on a 97 mod so who knows what will happen.
  17. Any way to make finances in this game more realistic? Playing a 97 mod with WWF where I started with 5 mil. 6 months in, I have 45 mil. Not realistic and little immersion breaking.
  18. What are end of year awards based on? Just had the half year awards come up and Wrestler of the Year looks like it's going to Owen Hart. He's not my most popular and his average match rating is lower than at least three other workers on my roster.
  19. I only bury workers as a punishment, ala Triple H following MSG just to emulate reality. Pretty ruthless with it as well. Austin turned up to Raw drunk a couple of weeks after he won Rumble 97, so mid push, so I had Bret bury him.
  20. Why not have Jeff Jarrett as the booker? Why does it matter that he was also a wrestler? You could also go with Vince Russo as he was writing their shows.
