This is an extremely important post, so I highly recommend taking 4 minutes out of your day to give this a read!
Hi everyone!
With FIFA 21 fast approaching, I wanted to let you know our plans, as well as clear up some confusion. FIFA 20 has been quite the journey but I'm really proud of what we've done with 3.0!
The first thing is, well, will FIFA 21 be moddable? You may have heard some stuff from other modders, some directly talking about me, but they don't know my plans. Let me clear some stuff up.
For FIFA 20, we relied on Frosty Toolsuite, comprised of Frosty Editor (what is used to import the files and compile into a mod) and Frosty Mod Manager (the program you use to import the mods and launch the game). However, the main creator, Galaxyman2015, left to work for EA/DICE in February. And no, this is not an effort by EA to stop modding, he applied for the role himself. Now, his friends who helped him develop the tool have continued working on it. Still, so far there has only been a little UI progress update since he left. The guys who are working on it now are certainly capable, just very busy. With FIFA 21 fast approaching, it looks like they might not have time to update it, at least for a little while.
Now, don't fear, there are other tools in the works, one being Aranaktu's new live editor, which is able to replace and duplicate legacy files for FIFA 20, hopefully that will be updated not too long after FIFA 21 release. He has also mentioned trying to get it to work with non-legacy files. Paul is also working on a tool, but there are limited details about it so far.
BUT, don't worry! We have our own plans, and they are big, in the form of a new modding tool.
For months I've been researching Frostbite, and it's components. Finally, we can reveal to you... we have started working with an online friend of ours (who is an extremely experienced programmer) on a new tool that should be able to mod FIFA 21.
Our friend has done 5 days of work so far and there is great progress! He has been able to read the two file formats FIFA uses, extract any texture from the game, and created a basic UI (user interface) data explorer (no functionality yet, so it can't import or view files).
Of course, this tool (editor and the mod launcher) will be 100% free and available for anyone to use (after a brief testing period), with proper documentation built-in! Since it's a FIFA-only editor, there are plans for mind-blowing features, some of which were in the old Creation Master! FIFA 21 will of course be different to 20 (we don't have confirmation of how different until the game releases), so modding won't be instant, it could be a couple of months after the release of the game (although I think it will be less), but until then we will hopefully have Aranaktu's Live Editor, which can certainly hold it's weight.
Here is a picture (UI is experimental and will look completely different in the final version).
You can find more information about the tool on: https://fifaeditortool.com/ . Also follow the project on Twitter for other updates and more, @FIFAEditorTool
Anyways, let me show you what mods I plan to create for FIFA 21, when/if modding is possible.
Realism Mod = The 1st priority, 100%. From when a modding tool is released, I should be able to get a 1.0 out, with just the core realism mod and some basic graphics (like licenses for Roma and Juventus) within 3 days. Then over time I'll add more and more, and hopefully within 3 months, I can put together something similar to 3.0 of FIFA 20. In fact, it will only be better, since I will be redesigning a lot of it, and fixing the errors I made!
2006/2007 Mod = If you don't know, this mod was originally planned for FIFA 20, which would replicate the 2006/2007 season in career mode, with all the players, kits, faces, teams, rules, etc. Sadly, because of the amount of time the Realism Mod has taken, I've pushed this back onto FIFA 21. Pretty much everything can be ported over so it's not that much of a pain. I'll probably start working on it 3-4 months after the game is moddable.
Other mods = I plan on creating various other mods throughout the year, such as "crazy mods" like huge nets, tiny pitches, free roam, etc, as well as more practical mods that "add" new leagues, teams, players, etc. I will reveal more information on this topic soon!
Finally, what are my plans for the rest of FIFA 20? Well, I'm working hard on 3.1, which is a huge version, I could call it 4.0 if I wanted. There will be a features reveal video soon on it. Anyways, that should be released in ~1.5 weeks, sometime early September, after that, I'll probably take a bit of a break with school starting and release a final version, 3.2, with some bug fixes.
So I'll leave you with this: I will do everything in my power to make FIFA 21 moddable. If that means (it probably will) investing everything I've made from patreon, sobeit!
If you have any questions, leave them below and I'd be happy to answer!

although its been quite a long time in the making for this fifa 21 mod, its finally in beta, but depending on if there are bugs and how severe they are, it could be another couple of months before we get a look at it before its released publicly. the whole point of beta is that folks are actively looking for and reporting any bugs so when we get it, any bugs will have been fixed. just hang in there, we've been waiting since october another few weeks wont hurt anyone if it means a clean and as bug free the mod can be. it wont be long now imo.

You have done amazing work this year, I'm glad I have been able to enjoy this game countless times because of the hard work you and others have done. I will wait to purchase FIFA 21since I don't play online so I will keep enjoying this mod for a while more. Keep up the amazing work.
Sounds great man, really looking forward to what you do with the 2006/07 season. Keep it up bro!!
I love your 16-17 CL Scoreboard! I hope to see it again ! Also i would like to see a Season 2013/2014 Patch ! I love that season so much ! And with many Players of this season beeing added threw Fut Icons like Lahm Etoo etc it could be easier to get some teams together ! Cheers
FIFER
Sadly not. Maybe for FIFA 21
FIFER
No, however it makes those messages happen in more realistic cirumcstances
FIFER
Yes, but I have some special plans for the future about kit making 👀
Legend. I'm new to the modding community, and have a question about the FIFA 20 realism mod. Does it get rid of the "player is unwilling to relocate" message, when trying to sign a player as a smaller club (i.e. playing as Atletico Nacional in Colombia, trying to sign a youth player from the Premier League)?
Hi Fifer. I would like to make a proposal for the final of FIFA 20, if it could be possible. I would appreciate it if you would consider it. I am playing career mode in the Portuguese NOS league and I have noticed that there are two competitions that are not available. These competitions are the SUPECOPA DE PORTUGAL and the CUP DE LA LIGA portuguese (it is the same as the carabao cup in England). Neither of the two competitions are available. Could you do something? Greetings and thanks for everything you have done for FIFA 20 and will do in the future
Sounds promising! On a base level will this new tool thats being worked on mean kits will be able to be created pretty much the same way as FIFA20 on photoshop and then put in the game?
FIFER
Indeed! And hopefully. That will be very complicated, maybe something for further down the road, but it can be accomplished. There will certainly be other things never seen before too!
FIFER
Thank you!
FIFER, você está fazendo um ótimo trabalho! Parabéns e muita força 💪🏻
big news pal! i’ll be looking forward to using this, and playing with it. a quick question, because it’s a fifa only modding tool, will it make more mods possible. for example stuff like creating new teams without having to replace any teams etc? thanks for all the good work though bro. keep it up x
FIFER
Glad you have enjoyed the mods!
Btw I think you have done a wonderful job this year thx for real
FIFER
No worries!
Great news thx fifer!!
