Good afternoon. Does anyone know if the Facepack for New Wonderkids  pack works as I have not been able to get it working & it is so annoying. 

Any help would be great.

Have you had any joy with this? Having issues myself 

Same, frustrating as F'k

I have noticed that the player ID's dont match up with the ID's on the image in the face pack. Does anyone know a fix for this? Does sortitoutsi have a young player database as I am running one from a different website at the minute and wondering if this is why the ID'S aren't matching up?

For those of you having issues - a request for some extra information, please, so that we can try and troubleshoot and find a solution.

Firstly, can you all please confirm which version of the game you are using - FM24 or FM26? As we provide the new players facepack for both. For FM26, the reasons for facepack IDs being misaligned are more numerous - we have to pivot our ID numbering whenever SI release a new update for FM26 which includes new players added to the default database…as it offsets the ‘starting ID’ for newly-created players. So that could be a factor. For FM24, this is less a factor as the official DB is static and has been for some time (years) now.

Secondly, can you confirm how you are installing it? Are you ensuring it is placed in its own sub-folder within your ‘graphics’ folder, as it is a standalone pack (i.e. not to be merged with the main facepack)? Feel free to share screenshots if that is easier.

On the question posed about new players - yes, the SortItOutSI Data Update includes new players. Indeed, the facepack is a dedicated facepack for those new players and is designed for use when using the SortItOutSI Data Update.

If you are using ‘new player’ databases from elsewhere these could very much be interfering - as the game sequentially assigns UIDs to players from custom data files in the order they are read. So if you're using a ‘new player pack’ from elsewhere and it is being read first, it will cause all of the SortItOutSI Data Update new players to have different UIDs from the ones configured in the corresponding facepack.

In terms of gameplay, it is also likely you'll have duplicate players in the game. Our recommendation is not to use the SortItOutSI Data Update alongside other ‘new player’ packs/databases, for both the reason of duplicates and the potential to break facepacks.

I am running fm26 and Yes I merged the facepack files and the config files,  i managed to get max dowman to show up in game by changing the image ID to the correct one that was showing in game. Is there any chance you could post the link to your database update as I tried to install what I thought was the correct one but then it wasn't showing up when I started a new game 

The SortItOutSI Data Update is available via https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update. On that page, there are links to both the FM24 and FM26 Data Update, respectively.

Just to be sure: if you have merged the ‘main’ facepack (containing over 500,000 images) and the ‘new players’ facepack, it is likely this will result in none of the images from the main facepack working in-game. Each of these are separate facepacks, with their own, independent config.xml file. As such, if you put them all in the same folder, with one config.xml file overwriting the other, whichever config.xml file you're left with will only contain entries for some of the images.

Within the graphics folder, you need separate sub-folders for the ‘main’ and ‘new players’ facepacks, each containing the respective images and corresponding config.xml file.

All that being said, if you have seen that the UIDs don't match, then that is still an issue. I personally do not play FM26, but there are two reasons why the UIDs configured in the facepack and the game don't match:

1. The facepack hasn't been updated following a recent Sports Interactive update to FM26, which has offset the UID numbering.

2. You are using extra custom files that introduce new players, which has offset the UID numbering.

The solution for #1 is for the facepack to be updated by our staff team. The solution for #2 is not to use those extra custom files.

Hi I am also running FM26 & can't get the face pack working & it is very frustrating as someone as already said it looks like the ID don't add up & I have tried my best to amend them but I that didn't work & I don't want to ruin it all. So for example JJ Gabriel ID in the face pack is 2002042594 & in the game his ID is 2002043021 it is sooooo annoying that you do these face packs & work so hard but we have these little issues is this something you can fix.

Thanks

Hi all, see my comments on https://sortitoutsi.net/content/359/megapack-technical-support-thread?page=337

I managed to get it working eventually. In game had show player ID active and check the UIDs for players are aligned to those in the megapacks etc in your files and supporting configs. I found because I had 4 separate cut out folders each with configs and then the sortitoutsi new players, live update and my own personal database all loaded up too that there was conflicts with UIDs when it came to created players added to the game which would cause the facepack configs to get confused.

Hi, I am playing on fm24 and added the new faces (without icon faces) to my game. I can see the newly added faces in my game, but instead all my previous standard cut-out faces are gone. The game is now left with only the newly added faces. How can i fix this? Thanks

Just saw the previous posts. It was because I merged the new players into my main face folder. I kept the new players in a separate folder and it works now. 

I'm currently using FM26

Facepack is installed using its own sub folder within the graphics folder and using no others custom database :

C:\Users\MYNAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\faces 2026.04

I have its own sub folder to but still showing as regen faces not the wonderkid faces

I'm having the same issue. This has only happened to me since the new update though. The new wonderkids are still regen faces. 

Hi guys, I have a problem, Max Dowman is not in the basic database, so I downloaded the FM26 NextGen Wonderkids Database by Passion4FM.fmf and added Max there, but why am I writing, I downloaded the DF11 Classic - Megapack FM26 (Original 13GB) face pack and added Max there, but I can't display the face in the game, I changed it to Eze by ID and Max was on Ezem, but I can't put it there under ID 2002042481. Does anyone know what to do with it?

Just asking again about this. 

Today (26 Mar 26) I downloaded the free data update for FM24 and New Facepack for Wonder Kids for FM24. 

They all load with the incorrect faces, the UID's for the images seemingly are all out by 1 (I looked at a few players so cannot know if all are the same discrepency but suspect they are) eg JJ Gabriel UID in game is 2002086767 but in the facepack he is 2002086766, Kai Rooney is in game 2002089720 but in the facepack he is 2002089719. 

Does anyone know if there is any way to mass edit the config.xml file to edit the player id +1 but leave alone the photo id alone. 

Will any future updates (data or facepacl) correct this incompatability, or am I missing something / doing something completely wrong. 

This all worked correctly when I started a game last year with a Sept 25 or Oct 25 data update and facepack at that time. 

Just wanted to start a new game and individually editing over 8000 files is just too much. 

Sorry I was doing something wrong, so this post can be deleted / ignored.

I used the Real Name Fix for FM26 instead of FM24, changed back and all is well.

I got the FM26 one working. I fund out that the face packs were within another folder so you need to take them out of the folder & add them to your face pack folder in the game

GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. I ran the wonder kid update & now I have lost some faces why is it so hard to download facepacks on this FM.

Does anyone know if we can import faces to use as our manager faces I hope this makes sense.

Doesnt work. IDs are wrong. Example: Max Dowman is 2002050488 in the config file but he is 2002050486 in the game.

Python is your best bet for bulk editing or using one of the config tools. I had to script it because I had bulk changes to make after the update.

Good evening.

Please can someone help me out. I have a new laptop and I am trying to up load all of my add-ons the thing is I am running on one-drive were before I wasn't as all the add-ons were being downloaded on internet explorer.

It is really doing my heading, my logos, real name fix aren't working and I can't get my saved games moved over to the new laptop.
