Hi everyone,
I regularly install the standard Cut Out Faces pack, and everything works perfectly. Now, however, I wanted to install the Wonderkids pack as well. I have two questions regarding this:
1. Where exactly do I copy it to? Under the "Graphics" folder, there are already subfolders for "iconfaces" and "faces." Should these go into a separate folder of their own? I ask because the `config.xml` file included in this pack is much smaller and shouldn't overwrite the larger `config.xml` file from the main pack.
2. What kind of graphics are these, anyway? Are they actual faces for real-life new talents?
And one more question regarding NewGens: is it still the case that 15-to-17-year-olds sometimes end up with faces that look like older adults?
Best,

Let's have a look at each scenario together, shall we?
Replace the config.xml file
As you said, the Wonderkid config.xml “shouldn't overwrite the larger ‘config.xml’' file" (from the Cut-Out Face Pack). The standard Cut-Out config.xml file is larger as it contains more data.
The difference in file sizes is a good observation, however the bottom line is: The Wonderkid Face Pack isn't an update of the Cut-Out Face Pack. They've their own data, and don't include each other's data… well, why should they?
So, if you replace the Cut-Out config.xml file with the Wonderkid's, what will happen? You simply kill the Cut-Out Face Pack, and its pictures aren't going to show. Make sense?
Merge the config.xml files into one
If you prefer having both packs in the same folder, then you need to merge both config.xml files into a single file (sure you know it only allows one config.xml file in a folder). As you can imagine, it's going to take some time and effort to do this operation, and be very careful not to mess up anything.
Next, the question is: What happens when there's a new update for the Cut-Out Face Pack? Since you'll have a new config.xml file then, you're going to do the merging work again.
Also, in case one of the packs hits some issues and requires a complete reset (remove the current pack and download a new one), then it'd become a big headache… since you've mixed multiple packs together.
It's not a problem… if you don't mind the hassle. For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diHN8TU_a94
>“Should these go into a separate folder of their own?”
The reasons are as above. So, it's up to you… obviously, some options may make your life easier.
Extract the Wonderkids Face Pack into a separate folder
Seems to be the easiest and most convenient way, agree?
>"Where do I install the Wonderkids cut-out faces?"
If you can set up the Cut-Out Face Pack, sure you can do it with the Wonderkids Face Pack, or any graphics add-ons.
Put it another way: If it's so strict that it needs to be in a specific folder, you'll be given a clear instruction or reminder. Don't you think? Just put it under the graphics folder, same as installing a face pack, a logo pack and a kit pack.
>“Under the "Graphics" folder, there are already subfolders for "iconfaces" and “faces.””
This is a matter of anyone's habit, and it's better to organize everything first. May have a look at others' graphics folder, which should hopefully give you some ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQa7BI7jCGg
2.
Simply check out those players' photos on the internet, and see if the images are their actual faces. By the way, why do you want to install something that you've no idea? Suppose you should have at least seen some samples of those photos first?
Well, guess it's easier to collect photos from the net than using AI to generate each of them… Moreover, what's the point to offer fictional pictures for those real wonderkids anyway?

>“faces that look like older adults”
Everyone's standard is different, so just play/simulate a game and see for yourself. It only takes you 20 minutes or so.
Anyway, if you want better newgens photos, then may have a look at: https://ngregens.org/
After all, it's nothing complicated at all… imagine it's your work or study, e.g. managing your projects or messages. Just think more (that's why I asked you plenty of questions above), then take action and experiment.
