European Leagues upside down 1.0

Description
As the title suggests, I swapped all playable European leagues.

The teams from the lowest divisons got into that nation's top division. If there were more teams in the lower divisions, the ones with the lower reputations go into the top leagues.

Also, I replaced every single club in the Champions League, and in the Europa League with random unplayable non-league teams (even the ones from the unplayable countries), so the winners hopefully get pretty random.

B-teams were relegated below the main team, because it would cause issues if they are in a higher (or same) league as the main teram, so there aren't any B-teams you can play with. They were replaced with the highest reputation teams from the lower divisions.

The big teams will still play in the cups (and probably willwin them) so they will still get Europa League football.

If you find some issues with my mod, please report them, so I can try to fix them.

Thanks for using my mod :)

Here are some fun save ideas:

-Gloucester or Southport (English Premier League): The two best teams in the Premier League. You will get an insane amount of money from this, but you are still a weak Vanarama North/South team. Because the English League Pyramid has 7 leagues in the game, you will be one of the weakest sides in the Champions league. Also every year, stronger and stronger teams will get promoted. Can you lead any of these traditionally small teams to glory?

-Hungerford (English Premier League): They are the weakest side in the Premier League. Surviving is a challenge, and if you manage to do it, next season, 3 stronger teams will get promoted, so you will need to beat them to survive again. If you get relegated, you will play against better sides, so surviving in the championship will be really tough.

-Everton, Leicester, or Wolves (Vanarama north/south): They find themselves in the 7th tier of English football. You will need to beat the big 6 in the first season if you dont want to spend a lot of time in the 7th tier, while trying to keep your team together on the journey of getting back to the Prem.

-Tottenham or Arsenal (Vanarama north/south) the same thing as Everton, Leicester or Wolves, but beating Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and Man United is much easier with them.

-Zenit (Russian First division): Russia only has 2 leagues in the game. This means that if you get promoted, and you win the Russian Premier league, you will have a season without any big team in the Champions League (apart from that 1 that will probably win the Europa League). You will have 1 big challenger to beat.

-Ajax (Keuken Kampionen Divisie): Holland has only 2 leagues as well. Ajax is in the same situation as Zenit. Can you use that 1 year without the big teams, and make Holland the new powerhouse of Europe?

-Celtic or Rangers (Scottish League 2). You are in the 4th tier of the Scottish football pyramid. You will have 4 years without Champions League football (unless you somehow win the Europa League). Also, only 1 team gets automatically promoted, so if you come second, you need to play with the third and fourth placed team for that promotion spot, and these teams will be the teams from the Scottish Premiership.

-Malmö (Swedish second division North Svealand): They are in the 4th division as well. Getting promoted is much easier, because you will only have 1 team from the Swedish Premier Division to compete with. Once you get promoted to the Premier Division you will find Sweden's football in ruins, and it won't be easy to rebuild it.

-Barrow (English League one): According to a study, Barrow is the most depressed town in England. They got promoted to League 2 for the firs time in their history. Their manager left them, and they are struggling. Howewer, here, they find themselves in League 1, and they are predicted to win it. Can you get to the top, get strong enough to beat the big teams, and bring some happiness to Barrow?

-Any small team in the Italian Serie C, or Spanish Second division B.: Because the spots in the second divisions ran out, some third division teams stayed there, and now they have to compedte with teams Barcelona, or Juventus. (there are even 4th division teams in Spain that got into the third division, because I had to replace B-teams. They are a tough challenge)

-Any small team in the Swedish 4th tier.: It is even crazier than in Italy and Spain. Some of these teams are amateur teams.Also the groups have teams from the first, second and third division as well. You might win 4-0 and get beaten 9-1 the next week.

-Szeged (Hungarian Second Division): I live in Szeged, and they are my team. There is nothing interesting about them, I just include them here because of this.

Thanks for reading it this far :)
Just some 'tags' maybe this gets found easier:
swapped leagues
upside down
big teams relegated
leagues swapped

@Sobri Jóska, it's not just happening with this file specifically, but the general workshop too, and I also have no idea how to update them unfortunately. Even when attempting to look at the list of most popular items in the workshop, it appears empty, as well as the "downloaded files" simply not ending up in my editor sata folders etc. I'll look into it, and thank you so much for the link so I can download the files manually. Means a lot!

It seems to be working in the 1.4 version as well, but if it doesnt, open it in the pre-game editor, launch 1.4 database and save it.
I sadly have absoultely no idea how to update steam workshop items.

I dont know what happened, but I also uploaded it to fmscout, so you can play with it if you want to. I think it only works in the oldest database, but I will check it.

I subscribed to this update, however, I don't have the file so can't find it in the advanced set-up. Therefore, could you upload like a mediafile with this file in, because I would love to use this mod!

For some reason, Apoel, Qarabag and Astana stay in the Champions League. I changed them to no-name teams but they just stay in the CL, the EL works as intended. I tried changing the replacement team but it didnt work either.
