Changing Human Manager

JJones · 06-12-2025, 01:22 PM

First post, please bear with me. I want to retire my current 'human' GM, and start another one, with a clean slate. Not just change the name and age. I've looked and looked and can't find anything like a 'Create New Manager' button or anything. Thanks in advance.

Along the top where it shows your current manager name, click on that. A menu will drop down, select Other Human Managers. Another menu will open with options to Add/Edit Managers.

This is what you want.

This sure sounds like what I want, however I'm not getting any drop down menu from the name field.

Did you "click" on your Manager name?

The menu should open when doing so.

Are you playing in challenge mode? If so, then I'm thinking you can't make those changes when playing Challenge Mode.

Challenge Mode has restrictions on what you can change.

It is not that simple. I recently had to do the same thing, swap out the human manager. I can't remember the exact steps. But you have to create the new human manager. Existing ones don't work. IE, you cannot convert an AI manager to a human one.
Then, under Manager Options, you need to quit your job and then hire the newly created human manager. I think you do that under the front office somewhere. It took me a long time to figure this out. I can't remember the exact order of the steps, sorry.

I'm almost positive he's using challenge mode. This menu is not available in challenge mode
