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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.

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).

On the main page for the cut-out faces, I click the circled button to download latest changes
I am brought to this page where I click the button to get 13.00 updates
Takes me here but I dont see an option to only download updates. Can only download 19-part full pack or torrent
Scrolling to the bottom of the page, still dont see option to only download updates
Olivercho
I am not seeing the 13.0 Update pack only. Where do i find it? Its not anywhere on here https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/1/download

I've edited your post to include the images directly in them 😉
Thanks for this - it looks different for me, perhaps as I'm a staff member. I'll bring it to Footygamer's attention and I'm sure he'll solve it asap; bear with us while we sort these initial teething issues out.

Glad it's not just me that can't see how the download page is meant to work.
Maybe it's different if you are a Premium Member, but at the minute when you go to download the latest changes (version 13.00) it takes you to a page that looks like the one you get when clicking the link to download the whole pack. The URLs are different but the pages are almost identical
13.00 changes = https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/download/change/361
full pack = https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/1/download/complete

As explained a few times above, this is just an unintended consequence of the new site going live and it will shortly be possible to download the 13.0 update pack in a single file, in the same way it was before. Just bear with us 😉

mons
We're working on making this visible and easy-to-download. Just bear with us while we work on this 👍

Thanks! Can you explain what I'd done wrong to make them not show?
mons
You linked your images to the URL they were hosted on, rather than to the image directly.
Basically, instead of website.com/image.png, you linked to website.com/page.html

you only need to download this file once, then add the updates as and when they are posted

This has been fixed 🙂

It was definitely the megapack. Had 279,551 files and was 17.32GB. Just deleted and downloaded it again with a different unzip file software and still missing loads of players again. Not a clue why.
mons
Did you use Winrar to extract the pack? When you extracted the pack, did you also change the preferences like this?
BoBzls
Ah you're a legend. Fully forget to reload the skin. Seem to all be there now. Thanks all sorted.
mons
Gave me a scare for a second there, though, I have to admit. Locking this now as it's not exactly the right place 😉
Kaestorfer
when i click on any donwload on the update page it will redirect me back to the overview page. For me the linking in every update is wrong.
Can you please check this?
Thank you
mons
Work is ongoing by Footygamer to resolve a number of issues on the site. Can you give it a few hours and try again? And let us know if it still ain't working 👍
