How to find .ini files

[the Leper King]

I've searched the forums all night and all morning for a tutorial on how to access the .ini files in Fifa 13 but I haven't found any. The search results I found are about mods discussing the files but nobody explains how to access them. Can someone tell me what programs I need to access these files and how to reach the files once I have the program opened?

I looking for the playergrowth.ini file but I don't know how to reach it. I read that it was in the data#.big files but again I don't know which data big file to open and more importantly how to open it. I really need some help.

FM 12 or FM 14.

I downloaded FM 12 and DbM 12. When I open FM 12, I click on browse and then select the game folder within FIFA 13 but I get an error message. I heard that there is a registry fix that I need for FM 12 to work on FIFA 13. Is that true?

I downloaded FM12 for editing my FIFA 13. When I open the "Game" folder of FIFA 13 using the FM12 browse function, I get an unspecified error. I read that I need a registry fix to get this program to work. Is this true? If so, where do I find the fix? My search results don't show me.

Edit:

Okay so I found File Master 13 that seems to work. I no longer get crashes but I don't know how to get to playergrowth.ini. What I did in FM13 was go to the game folder and then clicked on the data0.big file. Then a list of items came out on the right. So I looked for fifa_ng_db.xml and fifa_ng_db.db. I exported them and placed them in my fifa13/game/data/db folder. Then I opened DB 12 to view these files but I DON"T see the bloody playergrowth.ini file. What did I do wrong?

Search for beta990's career mode thread, get all the career files from there and add them to your game folder.

Does that allow me to edit .ini files? I don't understand. I looked up beta990 and saw he had career mode tweaks for Fifa 13 but I don't want his work. It does the opposite of what I want to accomplish, which is to reduce player growth.

reduce the values instead of increasing them.

your going to have to play with the files until you get what you like.

sometimes who just have to do for self.

Thank you for telling me about beta990 career files. It was a very informative thread and I learned so much about fifa modding. Muchas Gracias
