Installation Instructions
Step 1) Where to put Football Manager Graphics
Once you've downloaded a Football Manager Graphic Pack and extracted it you should be left with a single folder on your computer. You're going to need to move that folder into a special location where Football Manager can find it.
Apple: Where to put the FM Graphic Packs on Mac
You will need to copy the folder to this location:
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022/graphics
You may find it difficult to find this exact location, to make it easier, use the following instructions:
a) Open Finder
b) Click “Go” from the menubar and select “Go to Folder” (alternatively press Shift+CMD+G)
c) Copy in the following: ~/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/
d) Open the “Football Manager 2022” folder
e) Open the “graphics” folder (or created it if it doesn't exist)
f) Move the downloaded files into the ”graphics" folder
Windows: Where to put the FM Graphic Packs on Windows
Simply move the folder to the following location:
Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022/graphics
What if I don't have a graphics folder?
If you don't have a “graphics” folder simply create it 🙂
What if the downloaded files ends with .zip, .rar, .7z
If you have a file that ends in .zip, .rar or .7z then you'll need to extract the files before installing them. These files are called “archives” and are a way to compress a folder into a single file for downloading but you'll need to open them and get the folder that's in them before installing. DO NOT put these files in your graphics folder, it won't work.
Extract the files first and then put the extracted files into your graphics folder. If you're not sure how to extract them, look at these guides for windows or for mac.
What if the downloaded files are in parts e.g. “part01.rar”, “part02.rar” etc
If you have downloaded a pack in multiple parts ending in “part01.rar”, “part02.rar” etc then you do not have to extract them all individually. Just extract “part01.rar” and the rest should all be extracted automatically.
Step 2) How to refresh graphics in Football Manager
Unfortunately even though you have the folder in the right place Football Manager won't automatically pick up the new files. You're going to have to go in and tell Football Manager to reload your graphics.
Simply follow these instructions:
a) Open Football Manager
b) Click Preferences on the start screen (or if you're already in a game FM Logo > Preferences)
c) Click the “Advanced” tab
d) On the right hand side select “interface”
e) Scroll down the Skin Heading
f) Uncheck “Use caching to decrease page loading times”
g) Tick “Reload skin when confirming changes to preferences”
h) Click “Reload Skin”
And now your graphics should be appearing.
You should go back into the preferences and follow the same steps but this time tick “Use caching to decrease page loading times”, this will help with the long term performance of the game, but needed to be unticked to install these graphics.

Hi I was just wondering has anyone created new badges for the Lower UK league teams. The reason why I am asking I started in the Isle of Wight Saturday league I have seen in the wessex league where I have worked up to by promotion they have realistic steel badges but I can't seem to find any for the isle of wight leagues. I will appreciate your help with this. Or could anyone create these badges please?
Many thanks Anthony a new comer.
Derek
All but 37 English teams that are in the database have no logos but I'll work on that for the next update. I'll add these two logos to Update 7 which will be released next week. You will find them in the alternatives folder as I can't see an ID number for these two.
Anthony Angus
Thanks very much we will look forward to seeing the logos and using them.

Hi Shane
Sorry but I didn't have the ID which I mentioned in the previous post.
If you have the ID simply rename each of the three logos per team with that and place in the relevant folder of the megapack. Then simply reload the skin and they will appear in-game.
If you know the ID numbers please share them with me and I will make sure the next pack includes them too.
Anthony Angus
Hi Derek myself and Shane put the club ID for Binsted & Cob is 2002171765
Oakfield ID 2002076949.
We have tried for 3 hours no success any chance you can help please.
Thanks Anthony and Shane
Derek
I've created the file attached for you both which works the same way as the monthly updates.
Simply copy content, including the config files into the corresponding folders in the megapack and it should work fine once you reloaded your skins after doing so.
Just to clarify you are placing the logos/configs in the main Normal and Small folders of the megapack and not the alternative folders where I placed them with ID numbers.
Copy & Paste Normal logos & config to Steel Logos Megapack - Clubs - Normal
Copy & Paste Small @2x logos & config to Steel Logos Megapack - Clubs - Small - @2x
Copy & Paste Small logos & config to Steel Logos Megapack - Clubs - Small

Hi Derek
We have carried out your instructions and it still does not give us the badges changed. Any ideas please? we tried starting a new game still no new badge. We have spent all afternoon checking and checking. When you say Mega Pack do you mean just the Logo Files?
Thanks Anthony & Shane
Derek
Have you downloaded the full Steel Logos pack?
Please share screenshots of where you have placed the logos and where on your pc or Mac.
Also a screenshot of the clubs in game with ID visible please.
Anthony Angus
Hi here is a screen shot with Binsted ID
Anthony Angus
Hi Derek here is a screen shot of Binsted ID
Derek
Where have you placed the logos i.e. what folders on your pc?
Make sure you‘ve also done the below in-game.
Go into the Preferences Menu.
Then you can either select the Advanced option on the left and on the top right drop down select Interface, then scroll down the Skin section and untick 'Use caching to decrease loading times' and tick 'Reloadskin when confirming changes in Preferences'.
Anthony Angus
Myself and Shane really appreciate your help Derek.
Anthony Angus
Hi Derek I have done everything as per your instruction and they still are not changing in the game. I copied and pasted each one. I made sure I downloaded your mega pack. for some reason the logo is just not changing.
Anthony Angus
I put all the correct logos and Cofigs in each of the folders as per your instructions.
Anthony Angus
Derek I notice after the numbers there is . PNG should we put that after our ID club number?
Derek
Make sure the .PNG is in lower case i.e. 2002171765.png
It should be already as that's how I sent it but should not be put into the config file.
Please show where you have placed the logos on your pc using a screenshot.
Anthony Angus
Hi Derek here are where I placed the files
Thanks kind regards Anthony
