Yes 👍 I've made a “backgrounds” folder inside my “graphics” folder just to keep things sorted. But that is not necessary for it to work properly 🙂

hello i've got a problem with the stadium screens on the loading screen.

I've updated the files yesterday and extracted them correctly into the right folger (graphics). After reloading the screens in game, the pictures of the stadiums are not shown anymore. As a solution i extracted them a second time but after this they are still not shown like you can see in the attachment.

Can someone help me please

Thank you.

The screenshot shows that you have done this wrong. Delete what you have and download the complete file of each pack (and only the complete file of each pack). The complete packs are always updated with the latest update and you don't need the update files. Then you will only have to apply any future updates. And when you do so they have to be merged in to the existing complete pack (not in there own folder), when done right you will be asked to overwrite a lot of files otherwise something has gone wrong.

Hello @Qvordrup firstly thanks for the great work! I am writing this message about an issue with French stadiums backgrounds. Last June, user pires120013 uploaded hundreds of background images at once of insides of French stadiums. Many stadiums already had inside images. While I understand and acknowledge that it is overall a great addition to the pack for stadiums that were missing images, numerous of his contributions were duplicates and/or replaced imaged of greater quality. Indeed, I had received 13 notifications that my contributions had been replaced. I see that @Humberto21 had already noticed the issue here.  Among those 13, I have noticed the following issues:

• Stade du Viouzou : my image was 1200x720 compared to his of 800x480 which is a close up of a flag post and in my opinion presents the stadium less well
• Stade Albert Robin : my image was 1200x720 compared to his of 800x480 and is just a close up of the stands while my image presents the whole stadium
• Stade Municipal De La Lande : my image was 1200x720 compared to his of 800x480 but his image is the same as mine
• Stade Pierre de Coubertin : my image was 1200x720 compared to his of 800x480 but his image is the same as mine
• Stade Serge Delhumeau : my image was 1200x720 compared to his of 800x480 is of poor quality and presents the stadium less well
• Stade de Morpiènas : my image was 1200x720 compared to his of 800x480 and is just a close up of the stands while my image presents the whole stadium
• Stade du Malnoy n°1 : his image is a close up of the stands while my image presents the whole stadium
• Stade Roger Gardin : my image was 1200x720 compared to his of 800x480 and is just a close up of the stands while my image presents the whole stadium
• Parc des Sports et de l’Amitié : this one hurts more as it is the stadium of the team I support 😀 I think my image presents the overall stadium in a better way
• Stade Claude Bétard : my image was 1200x720 compared to his of 800x480 and is of poor quality + badly cropped as has a white line of pixels at the bottom
• Stade Albert Schweitzer : his image is a close up of the stands while my image presents the whole stadium
• Stade d’Aurus : my image was 1200x720 compared to his of 800x480 and is just a close up of the stands while my image presents the whole stadium + his image is not correct as it is not Stade d’Aurus but the Stade municipal de Saint-Paul-lès-Dax which is a rugby union stadium

If you would allow me, I would like to resubmit my contributions as I believe they are of greater quality. I had spent considerable amount of time to find the most appropriate and highest quality images and it is honestly a bit frustrating to see some of our contributions replaced by images of lower quality and sometimes incorrect. Please understand my motive is only accuracy and quality standards of this pack. Thank you for reading and for your consideration

Many thanks for your contributions. Sorry about this…. it was a mistake that all of the submissions from his pack was set as “active” without any quality control in terms of what was already in the pack. They were supposed to have been set as “pending”. Once it was done I did not have the time or energy to go through all 800.

No need to resubmit anything they just need to be set back as “active”. I've fix the issues reported here and you are welcome to write again if you stumble upon any others 👍

hi I've been installing this stadium pack for years now and its always worked fine but for some reason its stopped working on my game the stadium insides pictures show but not the bigger pictures of stadiums I've tried everything redownloading pack changing skins nothing seems to work can anybody help?

Hi when you say having right folder selected when in the game what do you mean by that?

You can check in game options what folder game load files from. And compare it with the actual folder you have the files in.

thanks for help I've tried everything deleted pack redownloaded it again everything's in right order because ive downloaded backgrounds pack from somewhere else and works fine all other backgrounds working apart from big stadium ones from sortitoutsi so don't know what problem could be 

Few posts above you have a tutorial video, maybe this can help you. If not, something is not set up correctly from your side.

I'm playing with mods that allow me to play down to the 10th tier of Spanish football. my team is 7th tier but when Itry to create a submission the ID of my team doesn't show up. even tho it does for some teams in the same division? how do I fix please

Hi ! Some one can update Real madrid stadium pictures ? 🙂 

I'm not really sure what you mean by that…. Santiago Bernabéu pictures are pretty up to date:

Use the browsing system next time to see what is in the pack :

Chrome say the File has a Virus? Anyone has the same problem?

That must be some kind of “false positive”. None of the packs have a virus.

Hello, can someone please help me sort this bug out I've just realised after using this pack for awhile fount out the majority of all English and foreign clubs all have the same picture when I look at there training and youth facilities I hope your can see the image now. 

I've been using the 2024.02 complete pack without any of the updates which has been fine. Today I've downloaded the latest complete pack in a bid to get all the updates in one go and have saved this in the graphics folder after deleting the previous folder for 2024.02. Unfortunately in game now, no stadium backgrounds are showing. I notice within the new 2025.02 folder there is the backgrounds folder and a stadium insides folder too - Is the problem that I've got both saved? If not, does anybody know where I may be going wrong? Thanks. 

Worth noting when I delete the newly downloaded files and restore the previously downloaded one (24.02) Everything loads up fine in game as it did previously. For whatever reason simply replacing the old folder with the folder for the 2025.02 files stops anything from showing in game despite the pathways looking exactly the same. 

I was comparing previous config file with new one, previous config file has a line <record from="images/764" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/764/background"/>

<record from="images/764" to="graphics/pictures/team/199/background"/>. The new one config file doesnt have the line with the team so thats make that no background shows on team profile, only you can see on staddium profile. So please Author, could you check it please?

I can confirm that you are right and that is how it is supposed to be. We have made changes to the pack so the “stadium background” only acts as stadium backgrounds and not as team backgrounds. So yes the “team” config lines has been removed. 

Two main reasons for doing this: first we wanted to make the stadium packs more “clean” stadium packs, so people who uses skins that don't support backgrounds properly can use this pack, second we had sort of double coverage on the same spot in the game, if you use all the background packs. The “fans background" shows in exactly the same space as the stadium backgrounds used to.

So this is on purpose and not really up for debate.

Can I ask how are stadium pics added to graphics? With FM 25 now not being released I'm going to use an old retro database but would like to add old stadium pics, as they were in mid 80's. I know obviously how to add player faces, logos and kits etc but for stadiums it is simply a case of adding a file for stadiums with the pics and uid?

Well I'm actually not a 100% sure of what it is you are asking about. But here is my best try.

Many of the old stadiums are still in the default database and you can therefore use the submissions system to upload pictures if they do not already have one (search by name or id). This means that many old stadiums have pictures if you download and use our pack. You can then also just replace the pictures in the pack you have downloaded for your own personal taste.

If you are adding stadiums to your own game with the editor there is a guide here: 

https://sortitoutsi.net/content/60493/how-to-use-a-specific-part-of-the-megapack

Basically put the pictures in a folder (one for each type) rename them as id and make a config. 

hi, i'm playing on mac and i downloaded stadium background, but they not showing. i did something wrong or is it my skin?

I think you are using OPZ. I'm not sure if OPZ Skin has background support.

Edit: I'm trying to help, assuming you are using OPZ. If you select the first one in the Background Selector, You will see the background.
