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).

Oh sad .. Thanks for the answer

Hey mons,
first of all thanks for the years of work and support you put into this!
I'm having a problem with the Megapack I didn't find in this thread:
Some faces show and work correctly, others appear faulty as seen in the screenshots below (faces & icons).
I'm using the Megapack 2022_00 with FM 2015 and followed every step in the readme file.
Hope you can help me, thanks in advance 🙂
mons
Methinks you're missing the actual screenshots 😀
gibmirdasmegapack
yeah just updated my first post haha 😀

Part 13 of the complete mega pack at Depositfiles .com is gone. Can anyone reupload it?
mons
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.
Bud15P
Hi Mods,
i've been experiencing an issue for the part 13 or sortitoutsi_cutout_megapack_2022.00.part13.rar of those pack.
Only for those part (#13), it told me like the file doesn't exist, but otherwise for the rest 18 parts of them were absolutely fine & successfully downloaded.
Will it be possible to be re-uploaded, because the alternative hosting on 'uploaded.net' were not helping at all.
Many thanks for the prompt feedback.

Just realised I never got back to you on this.
Everything seems fine in the folder, so I don't think it's anything wrong in there.
It might be something with how FM displays player pictures, but I can't think what could cause that. If you manually save Zouma's 13.11 image into your faces folder, and change the preferences in-game, does it make any difference?
Footygamer
It seems fine to me? Can you screenshot?
Grover75262871
Followed every step and nothing happen.What did I done wrong?
Grover75262871
Kit packs and logo packs were successful but not the face pack
mons
The location and preferences seem fine in so far as I can tell.
How many items do you have in your faces folder? Do you have a file titled config.xml in there? Do you have any sub-folders in there? If you go on Harry Kane's profile, does it display the black default face or is it a blank space?
Grover75262871
1.100000 .png folders but I found 3 with .jpg which I don't know why.
2.Yes.
3.No.
4.Black default face displayed
Grover75262871
However, when I was trying to unzip the rar file, The Unarchiver said part 15 of the file is incomplete. The file is downloaded completely already which I also don't know why
mons
Have you downloaded all the split files in full?
Grover75262871
Yes
Yes
Grover75262871
It should be 330000+ images extraction
mons
Yes, which is why you are having issues with some cuts not displaying since only less than a third have been extracted.
Perhaps it's worth redownloading part 15 if the issue is located there. Frankly, you might as well download the torrent file and get everything in a single file without the issues you're encountering here…
Grover75262871
I have downloaded part 15 several times the Unarchiver still pops out the incomplete sign. Maybe because part 15 is corrupted originally? Can you have a look?
wiebjfedjf
kyogo furuhashi's face is not showing up for some reason.
was his id changed?
all other players' faces are working perfectly, only this particular player's is not
mons
I recommend downloading the torrent file to avoid these kind of issues.
Earlier you mentioned you made a cut for him in a separate folder, have you removed?
Also, what version of the game is this and on what platform?
wiebjfedjf
this is fm 22 mobile
this config file is the config for the separate folder
Junior_Kensh1
Hi. I just wanted to ask if the Torrent version is up to date and if not whats missing from the download segment? The Torrent version has 14.09 GB while the 17 Download parts together have something over 15 GB.
btw: thanks so much for including the torrent version this time!!!
RoMbA
They include always the torrent. You must download the torrent and the two changes files. If you do that, you have the 15GB.
mons
Have you unticked use caching in the preferences and ticked reload skin when confirming changes?
Also, you should have one folder and one folder only with a config. Remove the smaller one to be safe.

Hi guys,
I just downloaded and installed the complete FM22 Cut-Out Faces Megapack and everything is fine. Now I would like to download and install the 2 Update packs. I've never done this before. Am I doing it right when I copy and overwrite the updated faces with the new config file in the faces folder and the updated iconfaces with the new config file in the iconfaces folder? And there is also a third untitled download file with 214.15 MB. Do I have to download this too? And what do I have to do with it?
Thanks a lot for helping. You guys are great and your work is fantastic!
Michael.
mons
The underlined bit is entirely correct and the steps are to be repeated for every update pack.
If the 214.15mb file is the 2022.00 update pack, then you don't need to use it at all.
Rui225
Hey, sorry if this is always asked but;
I downloaded the complete pack for the faces a few weeks ago and would now like to download just the latest update pack. I have done this but I am now just stuck on what the next steps are and what I need to do with the folder for the latest changes?
Thanks
mons
Answered just above your post 😉
