Those crack me up.

Does there happen to be any mods which expands the number of different storylines? There must be a finite number built into OOTP and it would be great to double or triple the number available.

I cracked a molar on a Reuben sandwich, so I can relate.

I agree that it would be great to have more storylines. If you're interested in writing some, send me a PM.

As far as I know, though, there are no mods with extra storylines. Storylines can be devilishly complicated to write, and I don't know of anyone who has attempted to write some on their own.

That said, the cracked-molar story isn't a storyline, it's an off-field injury news item. These can be found in the off_field_injuries.txt file located in your game's database folder. Here's what this particular story looks like:

6,0,0,when he cracked his molar on a sesame seed roll,

The numbers mean:

• 6: the injury is undisclosed
• 0: it doesn't matter if this is a minor injury
• 0: no minimum year (i.e. it can happen any time)

The game calculates the length of the injury and attaches the text into a standard story template ("According to club officials..."), where it adds the player's name and position.

In contrast to storylines, those off-field injuries would be easy to mod. Just make changes to the off_field_injuries.txt file and follow the format shown above.

For some reason, the words 'Viagra' & 'more than four hours' keep popping into my head, pun intended.

Do storylines have their own file too?

Yes. It's an xml file in a folder called "Storylines."
