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
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.
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.

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 guess I'll give the torrent a try.

I downloaded your Cut Out Mega Pack 5.0 Complete for my FM 13 yesterday.
After this I put all files into the graphics folder as every year. I did the same with my Metallic Logos and Cut Out Icon Mega Pack.
Then I reloaded the skin cache as every year, too.
Now I wanted to play with Arsenal London, but I don't have any pictures or logos.
In Spain and France there are logos and pictures, but not in England (in the PL) and for example in die German Bundesliga.
In most countries there are no logos or pictures.
The little icons are everywhere, so I can see them in England and Germany for example, but not the normal cut out pictures and logos.
Can you help me?

I'm having trouble downloading the 12 parts of the FM2013 Faces Megapack 5.0 from here - http://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/download_megapack/complete/1
I mananged to download the first 5 parts yesterday morning but since then, whenever I've tried to download the others parts from Rapidshare, I'm presented with the following error message:
Download not available
The following download is not available:
https://rapidshare.com/files/2047257766/sortitoutsi_megapack_5.00_part_6.zip | 504.56 MB
The file of the above link no longer exists. This could be for several reasons:
The uploader deleted the file.
The file contained illegal contents and was deleted from our servers by our Anti-Abuse team.
The link is incorrect.
The server is busy and can not process the request.
Is there somewhere else I can download the other parts?
Thanks

How can this be? There is nowhere else to get these facepacks from :o(

Rapidshare problem.

Is the torrent file also unavailable? Or is it just the main file?
What is the total file size? Have you tried opening it with winrar instead of winzip?
Sorry to hear that, but it seems to me like it's an issue with download speeds at your end
I'm not sure I understand where the problem is. Have you extracted the file with winrar? Could you post a screenshot of the file you've downloaded?
As the process is (was) automated, I'm not 100% sure on how the files in the rapidshare split download are organised. I understand they're basically the contents of the MP, split in 12 folders. If that is the case, then you need to create a new folder named faces or Megapack or whatever in Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2013 > graphics, with the last folder being created if necessary. You should then put the contents of your downloaded file in there, and you should have 116,000+ images plus a config.xml file in ONE single folder.
Again, this could be a problem with your internet connection. Perhaps you could try a download manager to ensure this does not happen.
Seems to me like the files were somehow not applied correctly. Can you confirm that you have 116,000+ files and a config.xml in the cut-out megapack folder?

Un tick "Use caching to decrease page loading times" in your preferences section.
Then reload the skin and your pics and logos will appear.

-directory 'faces' containing all pictures and config.xml
-config file is approx 8mb
-only reload skin is ticked in preferences
all to no avail. Tried restarting etc.
Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
Thx for your advice!

and ticked the correct boxes on the interface screen but for some reason when i play the game i only get the faces and badges for certain leagues.
I don't get any pictures or logos for any team in the premier league but i do for every other league in England. It is like this for most countries.
I have the correct amount of pictures in my folders and i know the faces and logos are in the pack because i have looked for them (i.e. the arsenal logo is there) but for some reason some show up and some don't.
Any help please???????
Many thanks.
p.s. great pack

Two things you might have done incorrectly.
a) The files need to go in Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 13 / graphics, and not in the Steam folder. It's not entirely clear whether this is the case.
b) Are the in-game preferences correctly set up? This is how they should look like
Looks to me like you've done something wrong. In 5.0, bar a small number of youth players, every Arsenal player has a cut-out.
Have you unzipped the torrent file? How large is it before unzipping? How many images in all do you have in the megapack folder? Is there a config file contained therein?

The file size and file count seems fine. Might be that you didn't copy the whole thing over. I doubt it's the case, but could you confirm there is a config.xml file in there as well?
mons
That's probably because we're in the process of uploading update pack 5.01, please be patient
eveiro
Oh well okay.Thanks
