Hi,

hopefully someone can help.

i want to use the mega pack for face packs but i want to have files kept on external hard drive rather than clog up memory on my mac??

can this be done,

regards.

I believe (not 100% certain) this will also change where your graphics are loaded from.

I can confirm this as I did it myself when FM15 was first released mainly to save me moving all my graphics etc as I had them all stored on my external drive.
Just have to restart FM before it takes effect.

I too can confirm that DazS8 is correct. I didn't want my FM Graphics on my SSD. So I located them onto another drive

I not only locate all my FM graphics on an external drive but I'd absolutely recommend it. The reason being your main drive is the one most likely to fail due to excessive use. My main drive failed this year but all I had to do was re-download the base game files from Steam onto the replacement drive as all my graphics were safe on the external drive !
