352 years of baseball, a fictional quickstart

darkcloud4579 · 09-06-2015, 08:14 PM

(just a continuation of this original thread)

This is my ongoing fast-sim solo league that I started back in 2008 and have been actively managing through versions 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and now OOTP 16. [phew]

Stats are consistent. For the past few decades, I actually played with injuries on and didn't play it fast sim. I've since returned to the original way of playing (fatigue on high or average. injuries off) mostly because I wanted modern players to compare with older ones who didn't play with those rules.

The current league has 36 teams placed around the country. If you've played previous versions of this league, teams have come and gone, as usual. The Philadelphia Quakers ended their 112-year title drought two seasons ago, the Toronto Blue Collars ended their 61-year drought this past season, with ace pitcher Jimmy Reese coming over in a trade from West Virginia (who won their first title two years ago) and winning his SEVENTH championship ring in his career with four different franchises.

This league has a deep history, tons of storylines and lots of stuff to uncover. Check it out!

I know this is an old thread, but I downloaded the quickstart and it says I have to download stuff from the add-on central. I can't seem to find the quickstart in add-on central. I put the files in the quickstart folder. I usually don't have issues loading stuff on OOTP.

Yeah you don't need to download anything from downloads central. You download the quickstart, put it in your quickstart folder and then load the game and it should let you play the league from there.

That would work. Sadly, on my Mac, I don't get the option to do anything. It rejects me as one would reject a pompous kidney!
Seriously, I'd love to look at this...

Same here. I get the same message to download from add-on central.

Oh I remember now.

The workaround is, rather than putting the folder in quickstarts and starting from there, just rename the folder from 352.quick to 352.lg and put it into your saved games folder and then load it that way and I think that works. I'm about to release a version for OOTP17 so this might be moot, but...in case someone stumbles on this thread, I never saw this post until now.

I will play the 17 release when you make it available, thank you.
