CHANGING FACEPACKS?!

I recently downloaded the sortitoutsi facepack and too switch from a different facepack i had.

but for some reason i still have some of the other faces still on one of my saves, but also have some of the new faces on there too

can anyone help solve this thanks

You can actually have more than one facepack running in separate folders. What the game does, though, is to look in the first folder alphabetically and see what images are in there, then it moves on to the next folder and so on and so forth.

So if you have images for a player with UID 12345 in folder A and folder B, the game will only display the image in folder A, not that in folder B.

However, if you have an image for a player with UID 23456 in folder A and an image for a player with UID 34567 in folder B, it will display both.

So you can rename the facepack folders in a way that prioritizes pack style so that the game will display images from the first folder, and if it doesn't find them, then it moves on to the second folder etc.

This is my folder, by way of example. They are in the order in which I wish to prioritise them.



If you wish to have images only from a particular pack, then you have the delete the other folder completely. If you already have, then ignore all I've written above and just change the preferences to remove the 'deleted' images from the game's cache 🙂

ah right, yeah i'll try renaming the pack folder then!

another factor that might be why its done this is i start the save on a different computer and it saved on cloud, i then got a new computer and resumed the save on that, and thats when i tried the new facepack...

could this be an issue as well?

thanks for the help anyways mate!!

The graphics (e.g. facepacks, kits, logos) displayed on different setups depend on the graphics available in the user data folder on the respective setup, so I don't think it's an issue, no.

Right, I'd thought I'd realised what I'd done...

On the last computer I had subscribed to ios facepack on steam, instead of actually downloading and placing it in graphics folder within sports interactive

I've now unsubscribed to the ios facepack and reloaded the skin but still getting the issue!

i've uninstalled the game and reinstalling to see if that helps haha I couldnt think of anything else at this point.

after more research i found this on the workshop page for the facepack and this was said by the maker

" understand ppl would like to unsubscribe in some cases, if you cannot remove this facepack simply by unsubscribing, you may need to manually delete the .fmf file under: "My documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2021/graphics"

hopefully i can sort it out but can't find the .fmf file and even if i did iw ouwldn;t know which .fmf file in specific

VEEEEERRY frustrating lol

If you unsubscribe, it should be enough then. Can't you?

it didn't work when i unsubscribed for some reason...

but solved it in the end, the file was corrupt somehow and wasn't in the place it should be, the .fmf

i found it eventually and deleted it and that worked
