How to Re-import World.xml and name databases?

cavebutter · 05-01-2015, 03:57 PM

I imported my league from 15 and simmed 20 years. Got a job with a team that I like and have been managing it for 2 seasons. During those two years I noticed that there were a ton of guys named Grimes (3 in my organization alone!). Then I noticed all the guys named Wilson (15 coaches and at least 50 players). Then it occurred to me: I forgot to import Questdog's name files into 16. I corrected the problem and imported into 16's database directory, changed the names of the files, all like in previous versions.

Only now I can't find the option to re-import world.xml and the name files. Anyone know how to do this?

I can try to play through another season or two with the Grimes family, but it's hurting immersion, especially knowing that I messed something up and that my league can be better.

My plan was to reimport the name sets and randomize the names of all the players in my feeder leagues so that it will even out in a few years. But I can't find the way to import. Help?

League Settings/Database Tab/Database Tools drop down menu at the far right.

Thank you! (The Grimes and Wilson families may not, but it's time to break their dynasties.)

Done! Interesting thing happened with flags, though. They're all way bigger and cropped. Doesn't matter all that much- I'd trade that issue for the name issue any day- but it's strange. I'd like to get that fixed one day too.

Once you exit the game and re-start, the flags should be fine.

Yep. That worked. Thanks again.
