Most important thing to start with is to know what card is used for the year you're playing in.
Here's an overview of which card the game shows in which years (took that from the respective info.txt files):
10s folder
YEARS:
start: 1900
end: 1929
30s folder
YEARS:
start: 1930
end: 1949
50s folder
YEARS:
start: 1950
end: 1979
80ies folder
YEARS:
start: 1980
end: 1989
90s folder
YEARS:
start: 1990
end: 2019
modern folder
YEARS:
start: 2020
end: 9999
So let's say you're playing a game in 1947. That game would use the card from the
30s folder (1930 to 1949).
On Windows, FastSpring version >> C:\Users\user\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 8\saved_games\savename.lg\graphics\cards\30s
If you want to use a custom card instead of the default, you need to delete the default files inside the 30s folder. Then put the files of the custom card into that 30s folder.
Only other thing you strictly have to do is to adapt the "info.txt" file. Where it says YEARS: start: 2020 end: 9999 you need to change it to start: 1930 end: 1949.
Of course you could also rename the files to keep it more organized, but that requires a few steps more (explained in a post before).
Lastly, be aware that you have to restart FHM, or at least reload the save to see any changes.
