I need a bit of help. I've downloaded the logo and faces megapacks as well as some kit packs. Where do I put them? I know in a graphics folder but where? Do I have to seperate them by folders? And how once that's done do I use them in game? On another thread it says to go to Preferences > Display and Sound but I don't have Display and Sound when I go into preferences, at least not that I can see.

I really appreciate the help. I know it's a lot of questions.

Just take some time to explore the site and forum

The graphics folder isn't there automatically. You have to create one in:
C:\Users\.......\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2013\graphics

You don't have to separate logos, faces, kits, backgrounds etc. in your graphics folder, but it's efficient if you do. I've created sub folders for backgrounds, kits, logos etc.You can extract your download to these folders. The config files that are included in the downloads have command lines which relate items ingame to your graphics folder items.


For the logos megapack an instruction is available here:

For the cut out faces megapack an instruction is available here:
http://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/1/cut-out-player-faces

Ingame, on the main screen... go to Preferences, then check 'Interface'. There's a block called 'Skin'. Make sure the 'Backgrounds' option and skin reload option are checked. Uncheck the 'skin cache' option.

But as I said: explore the forum...

Sorry, I was a bit impatient and decided to make this thread.

So I could just have all the graphic files in one and they'd work fine? That's good. Does it matter what I call the folders inside the graphics folder?

I must have missed that part. Apologies.

I appreciate the help, thank you, kind sir.

I would advise you to make some subfolders and place the different graphics there. Otherwise you'll eventually lose overview over your files. Especially when new updates are released.

If you right-click a config file from a download, and open it with your notepad.. you'll see how the command lines are build up. They all point to the graphics folder...

To load the graphics, I've done exactly what you said and when I go to start a new game teams still have default kits and badges. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong?

Did you adjust the skin options in the Preferences menu, and reloaded the skin afterwards from the same menu?

As said, these are my folders (I'm using Windows Vista):

C:\Users\My Name\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2013\graphics
under the graphics folder:

backgrounds
flags
kits
logos
pictures
trophies

under pictures I've placed the faces and icons map from the megapack download
under logos I've placed all clubs/comps/confeds/default and nations folders with their content

Make sure that when you download these megapacks, you follow the instructions. Extract the downloads in the right order. The config files should be there also to make it all work.

Can't help you any further man. Or you should be able to capture your actions and post them on Youtube or something, so I can actually see what you're doing.

You said you have a trophies folder in your graphics folder. were you able to map trophy pics to competitions? If yes, how?

As far as I know, that's not possible, unfortunately. But I'd be happy to be proved wrong

As far as I can tell, it would appear that Vicious One may well be using trophy pictures instead of the competition logo's for the league's he is using
(but I may be wrong)

The folder contains 3 default cup logo's (default, silver, gold) (all 180x180) I think they came with the Mega Logopack. (?).. bu I can't find them anywhere ingame though.
