I had so much work to put the wonderkids with faces, a simple Data Update - Changes.fmf, changed everything. For example, from yesterday I had Silva Mexes with ID 2002090607, today he has ID 2002087123, another player Francisco Wang ID2002087123, today new ID2002087013 this is understandable

The change to the UIDs of the newly-created players that are part of the ‘Changes.fmf’ file is due to the load order of the files being adjusted. In fact, putting the ‘Changes.fmf’ to the front of the load order is with the specific intention of ensuring the UIDs of those players stay the same between saves, in preparation for being able to support an official facepack for these players.
With the previous load order, there was no way to guarantee the load order and, with that, made it highly likely that other files (perhaps from other updates) that were introduced messed with the UIDs of the newly-created players.
As a simple example, if someone uses the main Data Update and the ‘Real Name Fix’, previously, the UIDs of the newly-created players would be different from someone who doesn't use the Real Name Fix. The change we have made is done so that in both scenarios, the newly-created players have the same UIDs. Again, this is the foundation of being able to offer and support a facepack - in the future - for the 20,000 or so new players that the Data Update introduces. Obviously with the scale of the content, this is something that we are hoping the community will do collectively - which makes it even more important that it can be enabled to work reliably.
I do appreciate that in the situation you are in - which was that you had some faces aligned to UIDs which have now changed - that is disruptive. I have, myself, had hours of work lost because of the dynamic nature of UIDs from custom editor data being combined (in my case, it was the creation of logos for lower league English teams - but the same principle). It is certainly frustrating. But from the perspective of the SortItOutSI Data Update, this change is needed so we can prepare a facepack for the newly-created players the file adds. There is no other method to ensure that facepack would work, predictably, otherwise - because then any scenario where anyone uses a file that introduces at least one Person record, which loads first, would break the entire thing.
This challenge of UIDs being different depending on the different combination of editor data being used is a challenge that has always existed. The way we are doing is to try and ensure consistency, moving forward, even in scenarios where people pair the Data Update with other popular, compatible downloads.
For the wonderkids for whom you did have faces - are these from another data update/pack that you were using alongside the SortItOutSI Data Update? Or is it a facepack you have created yourself?
As a gesture of my willingness to help, if you wanted to reach out to me and share your facepack so far, I would be happy to recreate you a config.xml file that has the right assignments on the basis of what I (now) expect those new wonderkids' UIDs to be consistently. This is about the only thing I can think to offer to help you in your specific situation and, perhaps, ease the frustration. Believe me when I say that in the long-term, this change is the only way to reliably prevent the situation you have found yourself in for the masses.

Hi, thank you for quickly answering my question, I used this folder V.7 FM24 The Ultimate NEW Wonderkid Database & Facepack, so I removed the faces from here and nothing else and changed all the IDs to be the same as the game.

Thank you for wanting to help, I've already made so many changes that I don't even know where to start, I'm just going to change just a few players. Looks good.
