Installation Instructions
1. How do I install the cut-out megapack if I’m using Steam on Windows?
Watch this YouTube tutorial video, which should you guide you on the steps you need to follow to install it. Although it is for an older version of FM, the steps are still the same. You need to use Winrar (or a similar program) to extract the downloaded file.
This is what the MP folder should look like for the respective version of FM you're using:
Anything beyond the blue line is up to you and how you want to structure your folders.
The preferences should look like in the below screenshot:
To get them to look like this, navigate to your preferences on the welcome screen or by using the drop-down menu near the top right of the menu within your save game.
Choose the advanced tab (the blue square within the screenshot above) and select all from the drop-down menu on the right (the red square within the screenshot above).
Scroll down to the interface section near the middle of the list, where you are to make sure that:
• the “Use caching to decrease page loading times” box is unticked
• the “Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences” box is ticked
After clicking confirm, it may take a few seconds or minutes for all the graphics to be loaded and you should now see all the graphics you have downloaded appear in your save game.
Once your skin is reloaded, you can re-tick the "Use Caching to Decrease Page Loading Time" button so that the splash screen at the start takes a lot less longer to load. However, the above process needs to be undertaken every time you add graphics to your game to ensure that the game "reads" them.
2. How do I install the cut-out megapack if I’m using a Mac OS?
From FM20 onwards, there's been a substantial change to how Mac FM documents are stored. Previously the files would automatically go in the Documents folder here:
Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 202x
Now the files will instead appear in the following location:
Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 202x
By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:
Open Finder
Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 202x -> graphics’ (create the last folder if necessary
Anything beyond this path line is up to you and how you want to structure your folders.
The preferences should look like in the below screenshot:
To get them to look like this, navigate to your preferences on the welcome screen or by using the drop-down menu near the top right of the menu within your save game.
Choose the advanced tab (the blue square within the screenshot above) and select all from the drop-down menu on the right (the red square within the screenshot above).
Scroll down to the interface section near the middle of the list, where you are to make sure that:
• the “Use caching to decrease page loading times” box is unticked
• the “Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences” box is ticked

Once your skin is reloaded, you can re-tick the "Use Caching to Decrease Page Loading Time" button so that the splash screen at the start takes a lot less longer to load. However, the above process needs to be undertaken every time you add graphics to your game to ensure that the game "reads" them.
3. I don’t want to have the megapack in the default user data folder – can I place it elsewhere and how would I do so?
You need to change your user data location. Simple steps on how to do so can be found here.
The above step does not apply if you’re playing on Gamepass, in which case the user data location has to be the default one (i.e. Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 202x)
It is recommended that the user data location is not placed within the Steam installation folder as this may cause issues.
4. How do I install the cut-out megapack if I’m using Gamepass?
If you're using Gamepass, then you have to use the default user data folder - point 4 above does not and can not apply to you.
Frequently Asked Questions

Torrent files need a torrent client to be downloaded. I personally use µTorrent but other common clients are BitTorrent, Vuze and Deluge. For those using torrents for the first time, here is a general walk-through on how to download torrents and a specific guide for µTorrent.
Be aware that it will take a substantial amount of time to download the file due to its sheer size and that other people depend on you hosting the file to get it so please leave your torrent client on after you have fully downloaded it. The etiquette is generally accepted to be to upload as much as you download, although this might not always be possible. The older the torrent file, the less likely it is that there will still be users seeding it.
If done correctly, you should be asked if you want to overwrite files – accept. You should have one folder for faces and another folder for iconfaces, and no sub-folder whatsoever in them.
These steps are to be repeated for every update pack downloaded, and they are to be installed chronologically.
Secondly, for files as large as this, the calculation of the extraction time will be wildly incorrect at the start. After a while, it'll show a more realistic timeframe, which shouldn't be more than an hour or two if you have a good setup and few programs running at the same time.
Try using Google Chrome in incognito mode (or the equivalent mode for other browsers) and you should be able to resume the download from the point it was interrupted, if that happens.
The likelihood is that you've put the iconfaces in the faces folder, or used the wrong config file for each folder. As a result, the smaller images (in 25x18) are being upscaled to be displayed in the person's profile, hence the blurring. Re-install the update pack again, making sure you put the contents of each folder in the right place.
Alternatively, you can download fmXML and generate a config yourself. There's a video on YouTube on how to use it but it's really easy and the instructions are quite straight-forward.
To get them to show, you should individually download the cut-out faces that you want from here (or use the UID to find them in your existing facepack if you don't use the cut-out megapack), put them in a separate folder to your existing facepack and create a config file just for them using the method outlined in here (which works for all facepack styles, not just the cut-out megapack).

I have version 6.0 installed. There seems to be a problem where it is not showing certain Dutch players (eg kevin strootman) both in National and Club view.
Funny thing is, for Robin Van Persie, when i view him via National team, his image doesnt show, but when i view him via Club View, his image shows.
Anyone faced this problem?

Hi Edd,
That helps with the dutch team but certain players are still not showing an image eg kevin strootman.
Is there a bug or something which i dontknow of?
mons
How many images in total do you have in your megapack folder? You should have over 145,000 all in the one folder...
Terence Lee
Even went into config to have a look and his id is mapped nicely to the image.
But it still isnt showing

Secondly, I'd like to see within the edt and lnc folders. I just want to make sure that there aren't any extra files which might affect the displaying or otherwise of images.
Do you have this issue with any other players' images?

Im scared my laptop will blow up
thanks
scottpratt
lol your computer will not blow up 3g is only your ram size, what is the size of your hard drive. Im sure its bigger than 6 gig, mines is 2 time 500 gb so i have 1 tera bite of memory so 6 gig will barely even make a mark on my hard drive, i also have 8 gb memory ram which basically just makes your machine work better, so now do you understand
mons
As scottpratt has explained, there is a difference between the size of your memory (or RAM) and the size of your hard drive. The RAM regulates how quickly your laptop can run (and is generally anywhere between 1-8gb), while the size of your hard drive measures how much stuff you can fit on your laptop (generally anywhere between 200gb - 1 terabyte).
You've therefore got nothing to worry about, in short

So in my documents I have two "Sports Interactive" folders. They both have FM14 subfolders. There is more stuff in one then there is in the other, but I cant find my save games in either.
I wonder if this related with the problem I have in that the Megapack face images do not load in to the game.
What should I check or do?
Thanks.
mons
Your save game should be in a folder named games within either of the 2 Sports Interactive folders. The graphics folder to contain this megapack and all other graphical content should be created within this path.

but when i go ingame, although i uncheck skin cache and check skin reload the facepack is not working. I tried changing folders or renaming them etc etc. but still nothinh works. However the logo pack in the same folder (graphics) is working without anyproblems..

Any other ways to download this?

I'm playing FM14 for two months now and I'm trying to load the player faces into FM14.
I tried check and unchecking all stuff for the cache, skin reloading etc. and nothing works (Preferences -> Interface -> Reload skin)
The MEGAPACK is in here D:\graphics\faces\MEGAPACK 6.0 and I have a symbolic link to it from C:\Users\florianwallburg\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014. Also the logos I downloaded don't work. I tried several approaches I read across the different forums but didn't get it to work. Has someone an idea?
Win 7 64bit, Downloaded FM14 via Steam.
Kind regards,
Florian
mons
I've moved your post to this thread, which is where it should have been put in the first place.
I have no idea what a symbolic link is, but any custom graphics (faces, logos etc) MUST be within Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2014 > graphics. Otherwise, the game won't "find" them.

Hi,
is it possible to change the location of the configuration files folder?
My SSD on C:\ has very limited space left.

Just want to know if I have to donwload 6.1+6.2+6.3+6.4+6.5+6.6+6.7+6.8 updates or only 6.8 ??
mons
Each update is standalone and does not contain the previous packs' images, so you need to download all previous packs and apply them in chronological order
Geo45
I'll do that.
Thank you
priest
is there somebody to help me further please.
mons
If you download each subsequent update pack, the file will include a config.xml which is valid for the whole megapack up till then, and not just for that particular update pack.
If you can't do that for whatever reason, just download fmXML and generate a config file yourself
