Essential improvements

Disable league limitation

Edit user.ini

Only if you have more 4GB of free RAM and CPU is significantly more powerful than the recommended one. Simulation of more than conceived by developers amount of leagues may cause game crash due to limit of using only 2 GB of RAM by 32-bit application. Patch game for using more of RAM. If you start new game with simulation of absolutely all leagues in the game (including reserve ones), each individual save file will be 300+ megabytes in size. Many of them will take up a lot of memory on your drives. Open <path-to-game>\user.ini with Notepad. Add IGNORE_LEAGUE_LIMITATION=1 to very end of file.
