PCM.daily's Database Team proudly presents the 2017 Lite Pack for PCM 2017, an expansion of the game that is meant to be enjoyed whilst we keep working hard on the 2017 Full Expansion Pack. The Lite Pack is completely compatible with the Steam Workshop, and we suggest that you subscribe to it from there in order to stay up to date with potential fixes and small changes.
The Expansion Pack won't be compatible with the Steam Workshop, for the simple reason that us modders are not able to implement more than half of the total features with the limitations we're forced to work with. Equipment, tweaks to XMLs, realnames in Local.cdb, sponsorkits for races, race logos and several other additions we couldn't do without are all not possible to add using Steam Workshop, and they're all in fact missing in the features list below.
- 3800 riders (including 1650 Free Agents)
- 128 teams (including 10 U23 development teams)
- PCM.daily's totally revised stats for all riders
- New rider potentials and popularities
- Totally revised favourite races for about 450 riders
- Updated focus regions for all teams
- 16 real track riders from different nations with ladder stats
- Correct regions for almost all riders
- 116 countries (10 more than the original game)
- National teams of Sweden and Ukraine replaced with Czechia and Ireland
- 444 real trainers
- 153 real physicians
- 321 real scouts
Graphics
- Correct graphics for all teams (a few 2016 shirts for a minority of teams)

- NC and WC jerseys for almost all teams and custom sponsors

You only need to install the DB once, of course. However, we've made it possible for you to install it in 2 ways. We reccomend installing the db using the first method, the Steam Workshop, in order for you to receive any potential updates seamlessly.
Workshop Download:
1. Go inside the Steam Workshop and search for the "PCM.daily Light Pack".
2. Subscribe by clicking on the green button that says so and wait for the db to download.
3. Now it's time to start the game. When you create a new game (Career/Pro Cyclist/One-off Race/Track), select "PCMdaily Light Pack".
4. You're set, enjoy! If you followed this guide, but you’re still having problems with the installation, check the FAQ on the PCM.daily forum. If your problem isn’t listed in there, ask your question in the General questions thread on pcmdaily.com.
Forum Download:
1. Download the database from the Downloads section or with the link provided at the bottom of this post. A download manager such as JDownloader is suggested if you will be using the MEGA mirror instead of the forum direct download.
2. Extract the content of the archive inside your PCM 17 Documents folder. Generally, that's going to be C:\Users\*YOUR_USERNAME*\Documents\Pro Cycling Manager 2017, but otherwise you should be able to find it yourself pretty easily. When you're asked to overwrite/merge, say yes.
3. Now it's time to start the game. When you create a new game (Career/Pro Cyclist/One-off Race/Track), select "PCMdaily Light Pack".
