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

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 have a similar problem. Downloaded the main 7.0 pack and it works perfectly. Downloaded the 'changes' so I now have 5 zip files staring with '7.0 changes' and ending with '7.04 changes'. Do I extract every zip file or just the first one? Tried extracting them all and it resulted in one massive folder called 'faces' inside a folder called 'sortitoutsi'. I copied that into my 'megapack 7.0' folder already in the graphics folder in the documents part of SI and when I reload the skin some of my faces are gone although not all of them.
Basically I just don't know how to get the changes to take effect, sorry.

Beforehand, I apologize for my level in english. I speak french and dutsh (nobody is perfect).
I'm not expert in internet. I wanted to know: Is it possible to pay in pound sterling when my account is in euros?
I know, maybe my question is silly but I have a rule that never changes: no pay in net.
But for you support i will except.
Thanks for the working, GJ!

If you have downloaded the full 7.0 pack, then you don't need the 7.0 update pack. Just start from 7.01 onwards.
Basically, extract 7.01 and put all the images within the main megapack folder, where all the 7.0 images are contained. If you do this right, then you should be prompted to overwrite however many thousands of images. Confirm the overwrite.
Repeat the process for 7.02 to 7.04. At the end of the whole shebang, you should have one folder (and ONE FOLDER ONLY - I can't stress this enough) with all 156,000+ images contained within it.
That's it. Hope it helps

It shouldn't make any difference, Paypal will automatically convert.

The torrent is working fine and is being seeded very well at the time of this message over 50 seeds to the 450-500 peers, i tested on laptop and worked perfectly fine got my max download speed most the time.
Are your torrent settings fine with dht enabled etc maybe
JabbaWockeee
I'm using uTorrent, it says DHT: waiting to log in. I will try another client and report back.
EDIT: Changed bit torrent client to Vuze, works like a dream.
Evil-Muffin7
Glad that sorts the problem out for you, with utorrent you need to make sure you have a green tick in the bottom right hand corner rather than a triangle, sometimes its the ports not being open maybe.

If you have the complete 7.02 pack (some 154,248 images, give and take), then all you need to do is download the 7.03 and 7.04 UPDATE packs and apply them chronologically. I've no idea what the replace setting you're talking about is, but all you need to do is paste each pack's images WITHIN the megapack folder, then accept when you are prompted if you want to overwrite images. If you completely got rid of your original pack, then you've done some of the above steps wrong. Hope this helps
Kalis44
Thanks for the fast reply. I've downloaded both 7.03 and 0.4 now, should put them within the megapack folder or just within the graphics folder?
mons
When the process is completed, you should have all the images in one folder and one folder only.
What you need to do is copy the CONTENTS of each update pack (i.e. not the update pack folder but its CONTENTS) and paste them into the main megapack folder.
Kalis44
done all that, works perfectly, thank you. However before 15.3.1 the 7.02 pack gave me odegaard and with 7.02 after the update it doesnt. even after adding 0.3 and 0.4 i still don't have a face for odegaard
mons
Both will have a new image in 7.05 anyway.
Can I have a screenshot of your megapack folder so I can see if there's anything possibly wrong in it? Have you changed the preferences as indicated in the OP?
TheBantams
EDIT It's ok I just removed the folder out of the main pack into the into graphics and it works. I just thought only 1 folder for megapack should excist
Kalis44
yea i can do that, would you be able to send me the config file for the 7.04 megapack as that seems to be where my issue is.
mons
If you've downloaded the 7.04 update pack, it should be included within it...
Kalis44
I just have a blank space for where odegaards face should be. really odd
benedu3095
I've downloaded every single pack but...Why do I only have 156,935 pictures instead of 157,143?
mons
In short, you're perfectly fine

Can someone please help?
mons
Can I have a screenshot of your megapack folder please? Perhaps that way I can see what, if anything, is wrong within it...
Miguel Miguel25665
BR,
mons
I'm afraid you must either have download something wrong or not installed it correctly. Can you upload a screenshot of your megapack folder? This way I may be able to see what's wrong...
