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.

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).

You've downloaded just the 2022.07 update pack. In fact you've got just 6,504 images plus the config file, and not the full megapack, which contains over 350,000 images.
Have a look at the first FAQ to see what you need to download 👍
HayzenFM
Thank you so much, excuse me for taking your time!
mons
No worries - if you hadn't asked, you wouldn't have known 😉

Evening,
I am having issues with the cutout faces (attached images similar to previous questions asked towards other members). I have tried redoing it several times, any help would be appreciated.
The faces are not loading in the game is the issue.
EDIT: Added the main graphics folder as well as an attachment
mons
All seems fine.
Do the logos and kits appear fine? Have you changed the preferences as per the second FAQ?
Fazr3
The logos and kits appear normally. I have tried (I know it's not part of this) DF11 and worked fine. I have removed it since though since I prefer cutouts way more.
I did change the preferences as well, turning cache off and the such.
mons
What's in the graphics/faces folder?
Do you have any sub-folders in the graphics/faces/sortitoutsi/faces folder?
Fazr3
Just those two folders (faces, iconfaces). The iconfaces folder has a similar number of images (minus 5 to be exact) but at a smaller resolution.
mons
You've shown me just the graphics/faces/sortitoutsi/faces folder. Can I also see the graphics/faces folder? Can I also see a screenshot of the in-game preferences, just to be sure?
All seems fine so far, so it might be the case there's a remnant of the previous DF11 installation stopping the cutouts from appearing…
mons
Can you do a search for “config” in the graphics/faces folder and post the results in this manner?
This can be achieved by posting the word itself in the red circle, choosing the view tab via the blue circle, the details option in the black circle and making sure the folder column in the green circle is large enough to display the full path,
Fazr3
Attached as requested.
I will try reinstalling FM2022 and see if that helps.
mons
Re-installing FM will not resolve the issue, as the user data folder will remain exactly the same, and that's where the issue is…
Did you see my previous post? I didn't tag you, sorry.
Fazr3
Attached. Two files are found in both folders.
Fazr3
It takes 3 minutes, might as well give it a shot- makes sense what you said though.
Please do not apologize, I'm in debt to your help.
mons
Seems fine. Everything seems fine 😕
Check your PMs - I've a simpler solution to propose…
Fazr3
Okay, I got it to work somehow.
I deleted the entire Sports Interactive folder (kept the kits, logos, cutouts, trophies in my documents folder) then pasted them back in after the fresh installation.
I wish I could explain how it worked, but it did. Might be something left over that prevented the cutouts from loading. Regardless, your help is outstanding- thank you plenty.

Hello World !
I need your help !
As you know, i want to get every complete pack (per year), to keep all my FM with realistic faces.
And as you know, not every torrents from the archives are working, because there is no seeds, because these torrents are too old.
So what am i doing with all these faces packages ? Well, i'm keeping them on an USB key ( a big one) to secure them for the rest of my life ! (if i must change my PC components, especially my pc storage). I've got FM14, FM19, FM20, FM21, FM22 packs
I need you to help me getting a few seeds to download sortitoutsi_cutout_megapack_9.00.rar
Please give me advises, and give me seeds ! 😊
I will keep my torrent file enabled on utorrent during this weekend ! I wish there will be a few seeds 🙏
SO,
Lynchyyyyy
I'm almost certain this is something I've done wrong. I've had custom content on FM22 since about January - player faces, skins & logo packs etc. Everythings worked brilliantly until now.
Now, as soon as I click on a players name, the game crashes. I can't look at player specific detail.
I've removed the custom content, and now everythings working okay - but it's not the same! Now I've had all the logo's and player faces, playing without them is taking away from the experience.
Can anyone help? Has anyone come up against this issue before?

Hello mates! I noticed in my latest save that Hansi Flick's face is missing from cut-out pack and I'm surpsrised because you ‘re making a great job. Since I believe this manager is quite famous and “big name” I’m pointing this out for you to add it in your next update, probably. Thank you and keep up thw good work!

Hi there,
In my game his ID number got changed from 884970 to 2002050615. If you search for 884970 you'll find his portrait, in the game's preferences tick the box to list ID numbers to check Hansi Flick's current ID number in your game.
Then go to the config file for the megapack portraits (Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022\graphics\pictures\players\normal\megapack 2022.08) or where you store them on your PC.
Change the line for 884970 to the number you found e.g.
<record from="884970" to="graphics/pictures/person/*/portrait"/> * number ID from your game save
Hope this helps.
Thanks to mons for letting me know the Inc change doesn't work.
mons
Read the penultimate FAQ at the top of this thread.
The new UID will depend on which editor data files you're running and will probably be different on everyone's save games.
The bit in the lnc file won't make any difference at all, I'm afraid.
mons
Can I have screenshots of what files you've installed and where? Bit difficult to provide assistance otherwise.

Hi guys !
Well, now i have my facepack. But I wanna do some modifications on a few pictures.
So i have downloaded the "Faces-pictures" with this :
https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/submissions/1/search
Now i want the Icons-Faces pictures. I saw that the dimensions of theses pictures are 25x18. But when i do the modification of the dimensions, the picture is deformed.
Any tips ? 😁
weeniehutjr
You should change the Canvas Size - which will add empty space to the side of the image, not the Image Size/Dimensions.
Littlebird31
Okay thank you ! 😁
Littlebird31
I tried to change the canvas size on GIMP. But it doesn't work, I don't understand why…
What is the software that you use to modify pictures (on the megapack faces icon) ?
mons
Use photopea.com to do so, then export as png.
Littlebird31
Finally, after a long time working on it… I understood why it wasn't showing up. It was because i didn't understand the “Canvas size” setting. I am a noob 😁
Now, it's good and i have my icon-faces.
And it is working on GIMP and Photopea just fine.
