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).

Before you do so, check in your megapack folder for the filenames with the UIDs of the players being mentioned. If they're there already, then it's probably only a config issue and all you'd need is to generate a new one using FMxml.

It's working perfectly fine for me just now.
Can you try restarting your modem just in case? If the error still persists, can you please put up a screenshot of the error message and the page it's displayed on? So that I can forward it to the site administrator to see what the issue might be...

No need to apologise and you're certainly not being an asshole
Right, look in your megapack folder for 13134369 and 13134371. If the images are there, then it is definitely a config issue.
In that case, just download this file, which is the latest config from 7.07, and place it in the megapack folder, overwriting the existing file.
Also make sure that your in-game preferences look like this:

Could you send me a config file? I have all the updates from 7.0 to 7.7 and any images of players are in place
Darvey
Go to "Preferences" -> "Interface" -> Select "Show screen IDs in Title Bar to assist skinning" -> "Confirm". Your preferences should like this...
... And the next time you load your save you should find the player IDs next to their names, like so...
mons
I linked to it in this post
MarcekYNWA
remains unchanged. Ødegaard has no face, although in a folder I have his picture
MarcekYNWA
mons
That is not his UID in the database and that's probably from an editor data file which adds him to the database. There are two images for Odegaard in the megapack: one with his old 15.0 UID and one with his new 15.3 UID.

Some Faces or images don't appear in the game, and I have their photos in the megapack folder..
Can somebody help me..
For example, I have the Images of César (19215493) from Benfica and Tanaka (45025740) from Sporting but somehow they do not appear in the game..
And yes, I have the Whole Megapack with 218.527 images.
Please help me
Angel Eyes
PLEASE help!!!!
Thanks
mons
If that fails, upload a screenshot of both the new and old folders and upload each respective config.

I have acquired images via the internet of these players and tinkered with them using Adobe Photoshop as best as I can although can't seem to resize them to 180 x 180 as per other Megapack images. saved them as 'png' format.
edited config file to reflect them with correct IDs to conform with those generated by editor.
done all the usual under preferences within game, But they don't show up! not only that but all images have been removed. RE-copied config back up and tried again and all images reappear but obviously not these three new ones. on the face of it, appears to be a config issue. But I seem to remember doing this before without any issues. What am I doing wrong? don't see why i need to create a separate config for these. wouldn't have a clue anyhow. I've attached them if anyone can take a look , I'd really appreciate it coz it's driving me nuts.
cheers
mons
Put these three images in a new folder, anywhere within the graphics folder but not within the megapack folder, named something like my images, for example. Download fmXML and generate a new config just for these three images. Should do the trick

Tried in Chrome and Firefox, tried with wired and wireless connection.
I've seen this problem mentioned before, but didn't find a fix so far.

If that is not the case, then you may have to wait a while as the site owner and admin is currently on holiday...
