Frequently Asked Questions

If you've never downloaded the pack before, you should just download the larger "complete pack".

If you're not a premium member, it is recommended that you download the base megapack via torrent by going to our cut-out megapack download page. After which, you should then download all the update packs released to date and apply them chronologically.

If you're a premium member, just download the most recent complete pack.

If you already have a version of our Cut-Out Faces Megapack installed, then click "Download Latest Changes" and you'll be presented with a list of all the updates we've released since you've last downloaded a file. Simply download any you might have missed, applying the oldest first and continuing to apply update packs in the chronological order in which they were released.
Watch this YouTube tutorial video, which should you guide you on the steps you need to follow to install it. You need to use Winrar (or a similar program) to extract the downloaded file.

Contrary to previous versions of the game, there is no need to change any settings in the preferences in FM26.
You need to copy and overwrite the faces and the new config file from the update pack into the faces folder.

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.

Watch this YouTube tutorial video, which should you guide you on the steps you need to follow to install it. It might be for FM24, but the steps are exactly the same.
It's a known issue with FM26 - read this. We're assuming this issue will get resolved in upcoming official patches/updates.
The new players were added before FM26 was released and didn't have the right UID yet. We've started the process of mapping them to the correct person's UID.
When you have a blank space instead of a cut-out, it means there is a config file pointing to a folder in which an image with that UID is not present. This generally happens when an update pack is installed in a separate folder and not part of the overall faces folder, or there is a rogue config file somewhere. It could also be that you have somehow not downloaded the full megapack but only part of it. Search within the graphics folder for the UID of this person, and you will probably find the secondary image. Delete that folder, and it should be fine.

Otherwise, follow the steps in this comment and post the results so that we can assist you.
In line with guidance on the official SI forums, At present, FM26 cannot handle multiple files with the same name. For example, if you have two files with the name "kit.png", it will not load both. and Player Faces: These work fine. You do not need the icon files anymore, and they can cause issues with the note above. Delete them.

As a result, the iconfaces are no longer available for download because they're not needed. You should also delete the iconfaces folder manually from your system too 👍
You need to change your user data location. Simple steps on how to do so can be found here.

It is recommended that the user data location is not placed within the Steam installation folder as this may cause issues.
The torrent file includes the base megapack uploaded just before that year’s FM version is released. Any and all subsequent update packs are to be downloaded separately.
For those who have never used torrents, in the vast majority of cases, it's just a question of downloading the client program (a small file, less than 1MB) and then downloading the megapack torrent file (a tiny file, around 20k) and then letting the program do the job.

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.
Please report this so that they can be reuploaded. Since the files are hosted outside our pages, there isn't much we can do about this unfortunately. You could try downloading the pack via torrent and get it this way.
Extracting the file will take a while, but it shouldn't take the hours and hours that the program extracting will sometimes say it will. To speed it up, it is recommended that you have as few programs running as possible so that the system can dedicate as many resources to the extraction as it possibly can.

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.
You might have a poor internet connection or your browser might have some extensions which interrupt this download. Having loads of downloads ongoing and/or streaming may also de-prioritise this download.

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 most recent update pack will include the most recent config file, so you can choose to download it and use it from there.

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.
Down the years, after an update pack was released, it was noted that some images included therein where of the wrong person, with a wrong extension or duplicated. Due to the way the download system is structured, these cannot be removed from the download, so there may well be a couple of hundred images’ worth of difference, depending on the version you download.
Our megapack covers 25,000 teams and it's impossible to cater for these kind of requests since players and staff get transferred or sacked or retire etc and recreating and reuploading 25,000 different smaller packs would be an impossible task. That's why we have all the images in a megapack so that everything is captured therein.
These persons do not appear in the default database for licensing reasons. This means that they only appear in your save-game because they were added via a custom file, generally the real name fix file. However, this means that their UID (which is what is used to map a person's image to the right individual) is different, and so the game cannot assign the image to them from your existing facepack.

To get them to show, you should individually download any previously available cut-out faces 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).

Since you're a premium member, if you just download the most recent complete pack, you'll have all the images in the megapack. All you'd need to do from that point on is to download the individual update packs released periodically.

Before the release of FM21, we hope. Can't be more specific than that yet, I'm afraid.

There's a number of reasons this could be happening. Have a look at this to see if helps at all: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000839.htm

Try downloading the file using Google Chrome, which allows interrupted download to be resumed from the point they were stopped.

Hi,

I've been downloading the Cut-Out Faces Megapack files for the past weeks (yes, you read it right: "weeks". my connection is that good). Today, as i was about to continue my journey i noticed the files are not there anymore. Is there a specific reason for this? Will they be back up soon?


EDIT: This is regarding the FM20 Update Pack - 12.18

Thanks in advance

What do you mean? They look fine to me here

The default tab is now FM21 since the 13.0 update pack for it was released earlier today, so you may have to manually change the tab to FM20.

I've been trying to manually change the tab to FM20, however, when i choose the latest update pack it takes me to a single direct download link. My question here is, considering i was still due to download the remaining files from the "original Megapack", where can i find those files? Do i not need to download them at all?

This is sounding confusing but i really don't know how to phrase it any other way, lemme show my folder where i've been keeping all the files i'm been talking about here.

It would help if you provide screenshots of how the site is looking like for you, because it's not clear what you mean.

That said, it looks like you've got all the files needed for the 12.0 base pack. All you need to do now is to extract them all and install them in numerical order, starting from the multiple 12.0 base files (which should all ectract automatically if you start with part 1) and continuing to the various update packs (from 12.01 until 12.18), accepting all overwrite prompts. You just need to download the 13.0 update pack now to be fully up-to-date.

I've been downloading all Megapacks via torrents this week, currently the 13.0 file (thank ya'll), but I'm having issues with the 6.0 and 8.0 pack.
The 6.0 pack is at 0,9% (one start), the 8.0 pack is still at 0%.

Is there a possibility that more people (re-)share these torrents? Or anyone knows what's the availability of them?

Many thanks in advance and hope ya'll will be having fun with the new FM in the next couple of weeks!

Ow I think I made a bummer!?
Is it sufficient to download the 13.0 version, thus having ALL images?
Or do you need to download all versions, where 8.0 is an update of 7.0, 9.0 is an update of 8.0,... thus not having all images but ONLY updates per new version?

The "changes" file is 500mb the complete file is 18gb. If you click "Download Latest Changes" that should give you the right file.

Are you possibly getting confused by the new design? If you're struggling to find the right place to download please try and give detailed feedback and i'll try and improve it 🙂

In this page https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/1/download if you click on DOWNLOAD (434.79 MB) at the 13.00 version, the link send at this page https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/download/change/361 where there are all 19 parts of singular pack for the 13.00 version but NOT only the update if you have 12.18 installed.

Yes, same here. I am up-to-date with 12.18 and only need the small update file, but keep being directed to the page with 19 parts of 13.00. Where can we find ONLY the update from 12.18 to 13.00?
