Installation Instructions
Step 1) Where to put Football Manager Graphics
Once you've downloaded a Football Manager Graphic Pack and extracted it you should be left with a single folder on your computer. You're going to need to move that folder into a special location where Football Manager can find it.
Apple: Where to put the FM Graphic Packs on Mac
You will need to copy the folder to this location:
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022/graphics
You may find it difficult to find this exact location, to make it easier, use the following instructions:
a) Open Finder
b) Click “Go” from the menubar and select “Go to Folder” (alternatively press Shift+CMD+G)
c) Copy in the following: ~/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/
d) Open the “Football Manager 2022” folder
e) Open the “graphics” folder (or created it if it doesn't exist)
f) Move the downloaded files into the ”graphics" folder
Windows: Where to put the FM Graphic Packs on Windows
Simply move the folder to the following location:
Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022/graphics
What if I don't have a graphics folder?
If you don't have a “graphics” folder simply create it 🙂
What if the downloaded files ends with .zip, .rar, .7z
If you have a file that ends in .zip, .rar or .7z then you'll need to extract the files before installing them. These files are called “archives” and are a way to compress a folder into a single file for downloading but you'll need to open them and get the folder that's in them before installing. DO NOT put these files in your graphics folder, it won't work.
Extract the files first and then put the extracted files into your graphics folder. If you're not sure how to extract them, look at these guides for windows or for mac.
What if the downloaded files are in parts e.g. “part01.rar”, “part02.rar” etc
If you have downloaded a pack in multiple parts ending in “part01.rar”, “part02.rar” etc then you do not have to extract them all individually. Just extract “part01.rar” and the rest should all be extracted automatically.
Step 2) How to refresh graphics in Football Manager
Unfortunately even though you have the folder in the right place Football Manager won't automatically pick up the new files. You're going to have to go in and tell Football Manager to reload your graphics.
Simply follow these instructions:
a) Open Football Manager
b) Click Preferences on the start screen (or if you're already in a game FM Logo > Preferences)
c) Click the “Advanced” tab
d) On the right hand side select “interface”
e) Scroll down the Skin Heading
f) Uncheck “Use caching to decrease page loading times”
g) Tick “Reload skin when confirming changes to preferences”
h) Click “Reload Skin”
And now your graphics should be appearing.
You should go back into the preferences and follow the same steps but this time tick “Use caching to decrease page loading times”, this will help with the long term performance of the game, but needed to be unticked to install these graphics.

Hammer great work m8 but could you change the Year on the logo you made to 2014, that's the only difference between this year's and last year's logo
Fat Penlon
Great thanks!! Ive noticed you have posted on all the logo types….
Can you recommend which is the best to use and how many logos each type has? ESS or Shiny or Metallic? I don't know which logo type to go for.
Johno
It's entirely up to you tbf,
If you like logos up to date then I'd say Metallic. If you like simple design logos then Shiny.
Hope this helps.
Brunoesteves
Thank you

Well due to some changes done by SI that even they can't explain it's a bit harder to do logos since the id's from competitions and non league clubs don't show anymore, so it's been a slow process.
Nations, Flags, Defaults, Continents are all done, i'm doing the competitions logos atm, only the competitions present ingame with the default database plus gibraltar, after it's done i'll start the clubs that are selectable from game start plus the 2 new MLS clubs, only after that i'll start the non league clubs and other competitions.
Again all help is welcomed in doing logos, doing research, testing, etc .........
Thanks you for your patience and i hope you guys like it when it is finally available.
Also Thank you Hammer for this one, Brilliant Work again M8

Thanks mate
NunoKopio
Don't have a clue, competitions logos are taking forever because of the bug if them not showing the id's. After they are done, i'll move on to the clubs. I'm targeting xmas.
nyasser
I'll be waiting for it
NunoKopio
If you read the above post before you posted you wouldn't be making that question. Xmas is my target.

Have you try to get the IDs of the competitions via editor?
NunoKopio
Yup thats the way i'm doing it, so it's going a bit slow, but i'm only missing checking the european clubs and international competitions. So i might finish them this week and start the clubs, and those are way faster.

Great work on the national logos but could you possibly make the background on the Netherlands 'home' logo a little more orange so that it blends with the orange titlebar in the game ? The orange of the lion in the 'away' logo seems to be spot on. I tried doing this myself but it did not go well - best left to the experts !
Many thanks.
hammer9
ok can you show me screenshot of your orange title bar, will look at.
Sniffer Clarke
red - 248
green - 112
blue - 0
hue - 19
saturation - 255
light - 124
If that doesn't help you with your logo wizadry, please can you let me know an idiot-proof way to do a screen capture ?!

hammer9
sorry your attach failed...try again please.
Sniffer Clarke
Ok, attempt no. 2.......
Sniffer Clarke
Not having much luck uploading, Hammer. Tried jpg and png files. I guess I must be doing something wrong.......
But the orange lion in the 'away' badge is perfect.......that is the classic Dutch orange ! Could you possibly use that colour as the background for the 'home' logo ? As an alternative.........
