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.

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 used mostly the depotnet or whatever mirror choice, but some could have been upload.net, have I got some duplicates by accident? Also said it was 9.7gb or somewhere near, I have used 75.8GB, is this normal after unzipping? File I created in graphics contains 1,811.058 files? Any help would be greatly appreciated to get remainded faces. Thanks kindly
mons
That UID is not from the default FM database and is probably added in a custom editor data file. UIDs are fixed for players in SI's database and variable for anything else. That said, it's not clear what's your problem - can you post screenshots?
I have no idea how you have ended up with 75GB's worth of faces and over 1.8M faces. I suggest you delete everything and download the torrent file. Instructions on where and how to do so are in the opening post of this thread. You will then need to download update packs 10.01 - 10.07 and apply them in order.There is also a video showing you how to do so here so make sure you follow the steps shown in there

Try Winrar
Horky
Thank you very much. There is only 1 of 4. Would someone know who can help me make them? I'm pretty clumsy and I can not do them.
Thank you very much. A greeting!

We have a simple request system as linked to in my earlier post: please use it. This is not the right place or manner to make requests

I'm struggling to extract the files. I'm using 7zip. ive downloaded the mega pack but keep running into an error when trying to extract. (might be a simple solution due to the possibility of me being a moron)
any assistance would be helpful.
mons
What is the error message being displayed?
To be honest, I would recommend Winrar...
shuts
message reads - "error opening the archive (check available disk space, that you have a valid password, or that the archive is not damaged or partial)
mons
How large in GB is the file you've downloaded? It should be over 9GB. If not, you will need to download it again, probably.
shuts
yeah its over 9.... maybe archive is damaged?
mons
What's the exact size please?
shuts
9.66 GB. I've also downloaded this multiple times.
mons
That looks to be the right size. Can you please try Winrar?

If you download the full pack, you'll get the absolute latest version of this megapack, i.e. 10.07

I have been thinking about it for quite sometime...
Is there a way for us to select only the pic files for players and staff currently in the database we use?
I have a feeling that a pack of 200 000 files might affect game speed and i doubt we use a database in our saves close to 200 000 people.
Any tips on that?
Thanks in advance!
mons
First of all, graphics added to the game won't affect game speed as they are cached.
Secondly, there is no way to categorise cuts automatically as far as I know. Especially because it's not a one-time thing. People irl transfer in and out of clubs, divisions and/or nations and staff members move. Short of manually saving cuts, there's no way to provide a smaller database. And where does it stop? Do you just want the Spanish, French, English, Italian and German top tiers? What if Fulham get promoted and Stoke relegated what happens then? What if Levante buy a Greek international from Panathinaikos, or if Frankfurt's coach is an Argentine? And so on and so forth. That's not even considering the fact that players and staff in your game will move around, so you will have gaps pretty soon after starting the game.
Will anybody ever see more than a relatively small proportion of the 200k+ cuts in the megapack? Almost certainly not - but the small proportion I'll see will almost certainly not overlap with yours' or with your mates'. It makes no sense to have a bespoke megapack imo, especially with the work involved in doing so...

True picture is this - https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2018/player/74002019/craig-morris (Duplicate player- After 18.3.0 this profile deleted)

My hdd went a month back so I lost all my FM graphics and to download 26 parts is going to take forever to do!
mons
Eh? It's there as normal
From the opening post of this thread:
If you're having trouble with finding the download link for the torrent, scroll to the bottom of this page until you come to the torrent tabs and download the 10.0 version. To be fully up-to-date, you would still have to download any subsequent update packs separately.

The Tokyo Verdy player isn't in the FM18 database, but it is in FM17 (my version lol), thanks for the help!
