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).

I get that I just need to download the 6.0 Update because my Megapack 5 folder is all up to date. But does the config file delete all the ID's of the players that are no longer in Football Manager 2014? I'm carrying on playing FM13 for a bit before getting 14 you see and I don't want a load of faces missing.
For example. Sir Alex Ferguson's picture will still be in my folder but will his cut out show in game?
Cheers

Having the exact same issue as you
Side Splitting Pass
It will not include anyone who doesn't have a cut-out in the 6.0 folder. Mons doesn't usually remove existing cut-outs in case SI re-add them to the game so (& I haven't checked) it's likely Sir Alex is included in the 6.0 config file.

Read the opening post on page 1 of this thread.

But it's not exactly the same on FM14, is it? I couldn't find those options.
jeff2302
the torrent was completed till 100%. I even checked the rar. file contents and found only 134585
any form of help would be appreciated
maxowen1
googol
its the correct number on this megapack, i have 134584 too (1 file is the config so it's not a face).
in icon pack it's correct.
olivierl84
i tried the link in another browers and it worked.. strange
mons
I don't believe there's anything different

What's happening when you use Rapidshare then?
As SSP indicated, and as can be see from the opening post, the image count is exactly that. The icons pack contains a number of images which were duplicated, wrongly-assigned or otherwise mistaken; remnants from previous update packs as the icons pack is compiled automatically and retains any such mistakes. As the config does not pick them up, they will not affect your game.
Have you managed to sort this out? If not, please upload a screenshot of your MP folder, showing clearly the folder path, amount of images included and the size of the config file.
Using torrents is really simple. There's a small guide in the opening post, but it's really just a case of downloading the torrent client and then double-cliking the torrent download link. The torrent client will do all the work for you and you can leave it downloading the megapack in the background, resuming if/when you switch off your system.
If you still want to download the file in parts, the option is available from the download link in the main forum.
There's a readme included in the file, as well as in the opening post of this thread. This should suffice. If not, tell us what's confusing you so we can help you solve it.
First of all, we intend to have a look at the default images released with the game and include any which are new or better than the MP versions. Given SI's cutters' skills, very few will make it, sadly.
As posted by a moderator to a similar query on the official forums, No as the game is designed to show user added files ahead of the default graphics. (you can do it manually by either deleting the config entries for the files in the megapack, or by extracting the default graphics and copying them into the megapack folders - but you'd need to match the names and put in correct folders).

I'm having the same problem, once you select the file and click the download button nothing happens!
PET
When you figure something out .... freaking post WHAT you figured out.
I'm here trying to read the forum and see why I can't download the Torrent file because I get a:
404 - Not Found
Sorry but what you're looking for couldn't be found, we apologise for the inconvenience.
I see a post with someone who found the solution, but he does not post the freaking solution.
-------------------------
After some time I figured it out my myself. If you want the torrent file for Cut Out Player Faces Megapack 6.0 scroll on the bottom of this page:
http://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/1/cut-out-player-faces
Don't click the Download Complete Pack button below Messi's face. That will go you to a download page that has a "download torrent link" that gives you the 404 error.
Or better click this link: http://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/torrent/57

The pack is once again wonderfull.
I have one small error.
if I fe watch the player profile of ruffier (picking from the saint etienne player selection page) i have his picture.

i thought we had same problem last year.
I play only with kits and facepack. i also don't have the real name fixed file yet. meyby it has something to do with that? thx for your response!
Michael Johnson 123
Could you give me a link to the page the FM14 cut-out facepack is available in parts? Like for FM13 there were around 20 parts that you downloaded and extracted into graphics. I'm assuming this has been done for FM14. It's just I can't find it
Thanks mate

Due to licensing issues, the Dutch and French national team players and staff will not appear unless you apply this fix.
What's happening when you click the download link for this megapack then?
Michael Johnson 123
When I click download it sends me to a mirror for downloading from torrent, or when I scroll down on the facepack page there is an update pack, which sends me to this page http://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/download/changes/57 .Is this what I want if I want to do it in parts? Anyway that's all I can find, so if it isn't where can I locate the parts?
Thanks again

I've moved your post to this thread. Read the post above yours or the top of the opening post in this very thread.
Michael Johnson 123
Thanks for that mate. Does it rewrite the old faces, or just add new ones?
mons
Bit of both as usual.
