Trying to use a 2006 template in 2008 version

[texasranger]

I am trying to use tigerfan's "TigerFan_Fic_30s_Lg" in 2008 version. I have also loaded Mark Benson's Regional Historical Mod as tigerfan suggested. When I go to start a new game and try to load the template I get an error message "Loading of the Template Failed". Does this mean that a template for 2006 version will not functon in the 2008 version. I have loaded some other rosters and templates I thought were for 2006 from OOTPMODSQUAD site and used them in 2008 version. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
