Are any of you good with the advanced editor? I have been working for hours trying to figure out how to create a 0 foreigner rule. One option is to re-create all of the competitions: not as bad in the advanced editor as it would be under add nation rules, but still extremely time consuming. Someone made me a template with Italy, and it worked (0 foreigners), and I used it to successfully make a Spain file as well. But if I use this method, I won't be able to successfully re-create leagues with complicated rules, such as Mexico, and especially, Argentina.
Someone told me though that you don't have to re-create the competitions, you just have to add them and set the version on '0.' I went into my Italy file, erased everything under the competition (stages and fixtures), leaving (under list) only 'nation' and the competitions, without anything filled out other than the 'type' and 'competition' tabs under competition (and under nation, type, nation, required teams, and reserve rules tabs are filled out as well). This worked perfectly, and I was able to use this template successfully for Holland and Argentina. But when I tried to do it for Portugal, it crashes while it's loading the database. I have quintuple checked it to see if there are any errors, and there aren't but it doesn't work.

Can someone PLEASE help me? I've had the game for two weeks and am dying to play it but I can't until I get this database finished.
Edit: this is downright bizzare. I have successfully done this with Holland, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, and Korea. I have been unable to do it for Belguim (actually got an warning: array out of bounds message before I got a crash dump), Portugal, Ukraine, Russia, and Uruguay. I'm going to try one or two others. I don't care too much about Belgium, Uruguay, or the others I'll try, but I absolutely have to do this for Portugal, Ukraine, and Russia. Can someone help please?
