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).

Hello ! I had the same problem.If you download the torrent and start downloading click on bitcom options,click on emule2. you must download the emule plugin for your torrent client (I use bitcomet) because you can not download the file without this plugin which is important.The eMule Plugin is only a optional plugin. Please remember that it may not speed up your download because the ED2K network will eat your bandwidth. But it may be very useful to complete your download by finding seeds in the ED2K network if there is no seed in the BitTorrent network. That's why there are no seeds-Because the ED2K is locked,and that is why u can not connect to the source of the torrent file and there are no seeds. In order to normally download it download the plugin and at the right bottom u will see that the edk2 now is connected,and u'l see plenty other seeders. Maybe I will now be punished,cuz of the spoiler.Please don't Hammer !
if u have another questions answer me in pvt message.
My problem is that I don't know how to and where exactly to install the megapack 9. ? - Can u help me with that? I am confused because in the instructions it says just install or extract with 7zip it in the graphics folder.But now I saw in the thread I have to install first the 4.0 torrent and some above the line instructions with a new folders in graphics-now I am totally confused !!?? Please help !

I have no idea what you're saying in the first part of your post.
For the second part, just extract the 9.0 megapack file to anywhere within Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2017 / graphics. If you have downloaded the megapack update files, you need to apply them in the chronological order.

If you are using Google Chrome, you should be able to resume the download from the point the download was interrupted

Plenty of people have managed to download it, so it may well be an issue with your internet connection rather than our site. I would suggest you either give it another go, or download the file through torrent, then download the update packs through the site...
P.S. If you quote my message when you reply, I get an immediate push notification and I may be able to answer you much quicker in this way

Scroll to the bottom of this page until you come to the torrent tabs and download the 9.0 version. To be fully up-to-date, you would still have to download any subsequent update packs separately.
I'm afraid that you would now have to retry to download the file again. An alternative may be to download the torrent file as per the above, as torrents can be stopped and resumed at will.

Read the instructions in the second paragraph of the first post in this thread on how to find it.

I downloaded the facepack and put the file in the graphics folder, did the 2 tics in the preferences/interface, cleared cache, reload skin......everything....but faces dont appear, im using Apple.
Thanks
mons
Going by the screenshot, you have somehow managed to download only a partial amount of the megapack images. You should have over 183,000 images in your megapack folder, and I don't believe you do.
mariano
Thanks, loos like you are right

What internet browser do you use? If you use Google Chrome, you should be able to resume your downloads, and would not need Jdownloader or any other apllication.

When you go to the download section, scroll to the bottom and click on torrents.
Don't know if this will work:

I can't load the facepack i downloaded from this site, and i don't know what i'm doing wrong. I have followed the tutorial, cleared cached and loaded new skins, but it doesn't show. I have tried to restart the game as well..
mons
How many images do you have in total in your megapack folder? Can I have a screenshot of the folder and the path it's in please?
Vetle R. Andersen
It contains around 36500 images. Some of this is in Norwegian, sorry bout' that
mons
I don't know where you downloaded it from, but you clearly did not download the full pack, which should contain around 184,000 images. I'm afraid you're going to have redownload the file, which should be 8.64GB in size in total...
Vetle R. Andersen
I downloaded it from here today, I even bought a membership. But i will try again then.
mons
Hmm, sometimes the file pauses partway through the download, which may give the impression it's done. It should be possible to resume it. Do make sure that the final file is8.64GB and that the amount of images within it is 184,000+. Let me know if you have any further issues
