1990 Facepack

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0xfgecnqmkggf3g/Facepack.rar?dl=0

Download using the green "Download" button on this page. Extract its contents to your "graphics folder" in the FM base skin folder: ..

-AFTER LOADING FACEPACK, SELECT CLEAR CACHE THEN RELOAD SKIN-


IMPORTANT
Before the game starts and it asks you to select your league, there is an option on the main screen that asks you to choose your db. You check the edit, and then you show all files that has passed the editor data. Chose only those that I have given, confirm , & go to selection championships after. The best way ive found is cut and paste your normal facepack into the graphics folder of the Italia90 skin, then overwrite the original pics of this Retro pack when prompted. Thank you. Any questions just post on here.
REMEMBER TO CLEAR CACHE BEFORE LOADING NEW SKIN

This looks really good, but i'm not too sure what it actually is? Have you just added all the World Cup players from that year or have you changed all teams, leagues etc?

One of my favourite all time footballing memories is of Italia 90. Im trying to recreate 1990 as much as i can from all over the world so i do admit this is forever an ongoing project. I have tried to re create the footballing world as it was in the build up to Italia 90 as realistically as possible so many things have been edited in the game. The European Cup, UEFA Cup & European Cup Winners Cup have all been brought back. Previous Nations and National Leagues such as Czechoslovakia and the USSR have been recreated. Trying to recreate as many club and national sides to the player rosters they had back in the build up to that years world cup.

Indeed it was, but we massively overachieved, from what i've seen so far it all looks fine. You've done a massive amount of work here and i think its brilliant.

Does need a couple of changes for the Prem though, swap Chelsea, Swansea, Stoke and West Brom for Newcastle, Norwich, Luton and Middlesbrough

Great work on this database, I think it's the first one of these I have ever finished a season with actually. A few weird things, though. I came second in the league behind Arsenal even though we were equal on points and I have way better goal difference. And only one team got relegated out of the 20 in the league. Surely mistakes, no?

brilliant work. I did notice tho it is better set up for 1989/1990. So after a lot of extensive work I have changed all the player DOB to make them 1 yr younger and set the english leagues for the 89/90 season. I also added more players in the english leagues. The only issues I found was with the extra country editor you added I can't use the english one but it doesn't matter because I have done it in the database anyway and I started as Liverpool and I was in every european cup(which didn't really bother me either). Great work!!!!!!!!!

Thanks mate, thats cool you've made a few changes. Im always happy when some people help.
Ive been having a lot of trouble with the db lately, I'm pulling my hair out! The db was working fine until recently but now when i load a new game and select Everton for some reason the game crash dumps. I even went to the extent of deleting Everton and recreating them as a brand new team and it still happens!! Anyone got any cures or suggestions???? Thanks

Thanks Filip,
The db has had a lot of work done to it. Its not perfect by any means. If anyone wants to help with editing i am more than happy. My knowledge of Eastern European teams and South American teams from that era is very limited.
