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).

You can add them yourself using the editor. Here's not the right place to go into more detail, but you can find plenty of guides online on how to use the pregame editor, it's quite basic.

I can't right now, but just Google "how to use fm editor" and I'm sure you'll find plenty of links
steveb14
mons
Yep, it works just as well
Not sure what list you're referring to, let alone the second link on it or which skin you mean? What I can tell you is that while faces and logos can be carried across from one version of the game to another, skins aren't as transferable so you'll need an FM17 specific skin.
steveb14
Thanks a lot
steveb14
Oh and I meant the second face pack in the list. Kind of don't like the players names on the photos but hey, perhaps i have too much time on my hands...!!
mons
I see, but it's entirely up to you which graphics you use. Different strokes for different folks, as they say, which is why we offer a variety of them, after all

Yep. If done correctly, you should get a prompt asking you if you want to overwrite files.
Alper Kaplan
Then I say yes, I am fully uptodate then, thanks 👍

Thanks 😊

Do either of the below links help?

I'm really sorry but as I don't use FMT or Android myself, I can't really offer more specific help as I'd like to
JBDee1690
Thanks for the reply mate. Yeah I've seen the post on steam community followed instruction on there but no joy will try the instructions from reddit post see how that goes if not will just put it down to my device

As you're a premium member, you just need to download the latest full version, 12.12.
There are installation instructions within the file; follow them and you'll be fine.
JBDee1690
So is 12.12 the full 15g mega pack then??
mons
Click the download full pack button, yeah.
JBDee1690
Thanks mate appreciate it
Gregg Leon
can anyone help... I've noticed some faces that won't load in game such as 28121564 and 83228802 just for example.
Ive re-downloaded their images from the web too and overwritten the sortitout file in player faces folder with the new png file with the same unique id and still the image wont load
does anyone have any thoughts?
Gregg
mons
Looks like you either don't have the complete megapack or you haven't installed it correctly.
Can I have a screenshot of the inside of your faces folder? How many images in total do you have in there? For those 2 players, what do you get in-game - is it a blank space or the default black silhouette?
JBDee1690
Hi again I have now discovered that the reason I can't get it to work on my device is because I have only have 26g memory of which I have 18 left as this is for touch on amdroid so therefor downloading the pack is fine but then extracting it duplicates it and I don't have the memory for that so my question now is I have plenty space on my phone which I can download and extract it no problem but do you k ow any way for me to transfer from my phone to my tablet as I will have space for it that way?
Thanks for your help so far though appreciate it!!
Ignore me I have just replied to myself! How stupid haha
mons
Sorry mate, I don't have a tablet so can't really offer any specific help
JBDee1690
OK no probs thanks anyway I'm just going to do it see if it works no harm trying lol
Gregg Leon
Yeah I unerstand why you'd think that but it's all there. Installed correctly and pretty much every other face loads as far as I've noticed. The file size and format for those two are the same as all the others. Doen't make any sense. Their image is there in the folder along with all the others but in game just the black default silhouette displays...?
mons
Check if the preferences are the same as in the opening post
beto jr
It would make it much easier if you had another way, or website to download depositfiles or uploaded.
mons
I'm afraid that's the only place from where they can be downloaded.

Thank you friend
