The first image shows the `regens_folder` and the `config` file after I had run the `regens_manager` for the first time in that save game.

 

In the second picture, you can seThis is the folder path and the config for some of the Bayern U19 players. Before I ran the Regens_Manager, these images were displayed in the game for the exact right players.      

 

After running Regens_Manager and renaming the folder containing the Bayern U19 players to "z_..." (with FM 26 closed in each instance), the game still does not display the players' original photos; instead, it continues to show the "fake" image generated by Regens_Manager.                        

 

 

great job!

i was wondering if it's possible to fix the issue where the staff faces are being loaded as player faces

I managed to fix this; I don't need to run it as an administrator anymore, but it still caps out at 3800. However, I'm pretty sure those generated faces aren't actually in the game, because when I generate and save them, it produces the exact same number.

Hi @pvt.rylow#6089 , there seems to be an issue with the latest “Picture Pack 18” in the ‘Italia’ folder. When I download it and add it to the relevant folder, it doesn't recognize the “Italia” folder. I'd appreciate it if you could help.

Ao executar o programa sem privilégios de administrador, recebo a mensagem "erro ao ler a memória do FM26: FM26 não encontrado ou inacessível". No entanto, ao executá-lo como administrador, ele carrega no máximo 3.000 rostos de jogadores na versão padrão e 300 na versão v2; utilizo o FM26 v26.3.2 offline. 
Is it normal for only 3,000 player faces to be generated in the first season if I didn't simulate all the way to the end?

Okay, thanks. I'll give that a try.

 

Two more questions, please:
1.) I created a profile named "Bayern Munich" because I'm currently managing Bayern. If I switch clubs in this save, do I have to create a new profile? Or can I keep using the same profile even though it's named "Bayern" and I'm no longer at the club?

 

2.) I have to run the Regen Manager again after every new youth intake, right? Do I simply go to the "Generate" section, select "Quick Action," and then click the green button labeled "Generate new images"? That's all there is to it, correct?

 

Thanks in forward.

 

EDIT: Renaming my folder to start with "z" didn't help. The images for the players in question are still being displayed from the NG_Regens folder—and thus read from the config file created by the NG_Regens Manager.

 

As far as I know, the trick with the "z" before the folder name only worked up to FM24; it no longer works from FM26 onwards.

Thanks for the quick reply! Checking my U19 players everything seems to be working correctly. However I cannot find a way to display the ID for my generic staff (the ones sending me “emails” that are not in Club Staff page) and journalists. 

This issue is specifically affecting them, players and and agents seem to be working. I would not mind as much, if the behaviour was not so baffling because it worked the first time and suddenly it does not?

I have a few players in the Bayern Munich U19 squad who were added via the editor (a file from here). There is now a cut-out available for these players—this one here:

 

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/submissions/collection/57782

 

I created a config for these players, and they appeared in the game without any issues. 

 

Here's a small excerpt of the config.

 

<!--Jakob Horvath-->
<record from="2002051274" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002051274/portrait"/>

<!--Jonas El Allali-->
<record from="2002051264" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002051264/portrait"/>

<!--Kuba Horoszczak-->
<record from="2002051279" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002051279/portrait"/>

…

 

Now my question: 

 

I ran the NG Regens Manager (v 2.2.3) on my save for the first time. Everything worked perfectly. However, the original images of the Bayern U19 players have now been overwritten by players from the NG_Regens pack. This means my config file is no longer being taken into account. 

 

What can I do?
 

I have an issue with the File Loader. Running it for the first time everything worked fine: all my newgens got faces added and also female staff. I disabled male staff to test it. However now if I run the generator again and add the male faces, the newgens keep their face, but my female staff suddenly reverts to the FM gen faces randomly? Before using the tool, they had the black outline face.

I wonder if this has to do with the fact I also never get the “preserve existing picture assignments message”?

Yes, you're right.

 

Just to clarify, in case it helps: I originally set the PA filter to >= 130, but my youth players did not receive portraits. I then tried >= 100, >= 80, and >= 50, but the result was the same—none of my youth players received portraits.

 

After that, I changed the PA filter to >= 0, and my youth players finally received portraits.

 

To test further, I changed the filter again to either >= 20 or >= 10 (I can't remember exactly which one), and at that point the portraits disappeared again.

 

Finally, I set the filter to >= 5, and the portraits were assigned correctly once more.

I apologize if this has been answered before, but how does one update the mod without replacing the faces in an existing save? I have a save with men only, and one to create one with women only, but don't want to lose/have the faces change in my first save.

i am forever stuck on extracting

Hello,

After assigning the facepack, I noticed that many players in the database received their portraits correctly, but the players in my youth team did not.

After testing several times, I found that my youth players only receive portraits when I set the PA limit to below 5. Could you please explain why this happens?

Also, if I generate faces without applying any PA limit, are there any risks after playing for several seasons? For example, could it cause performance issues or other problems later in the save?

My English isn't very good, so I hope you can understand what I'm trying to ask. Thank you very much for creating and maintaining this amazing facepack!

Some of female staff's regens are not working.

Plus!) Not all cases have been identified, but what I have confirmed so far is as follows.

* European Regens (British Federation, Germany, etc.) don't seem to apply properly.

* Caribbean (for example Jamaica), Regen in Africa seems to be working normally.

* I confirmed that Asia applies to Japan and China, but I don't know the rest yet.

Hi, why does one Croatian agent in my FM24 not have a picture? I also couldn't find this agent in the config files. Is it because the face pack doesn't include Croatia as a country or region?

Hi Folks,

 

when is the best time to run the first scan after starting a brand-new save (in the German Bundesliga / June 2025 ingame)? 

 

Probably after the first youth intake in early 2026 (ingame), right? And then run a new scan after every subsequent youth intake?

This is amazing, thank you so much for your hard work! What is the best way to update the installation to get these new faces if we are using a prior version? I don't want to mess up the faces in my existing men's save.

does this work for fm24

FM24 using the save scanner version and despite working previously it's now showing my in game year as 0 and only finds 52 entities total. I'm in 2056 with ~180k players if that's relevant.

Hello! Unsure what my issue is since the software was working flawlessly before, but now when I try to load the config (or do anything, eg. browse for a downloaded Picture Pack), the app crashes. Tried reinstalling, didn't work. Any help please?

I've got a long running save that I've converted from Fm24 to Fm26, and this has added quite a few faces to the newgens in my world, but the vast majority still have the default fm26 faces. I'm guessing this is just due to the sheer number of newgens in my save so there's only a certain amount of faces to go around before they run out.

 

Is there a way to allow duplicates so faces can be repeated? With the sheer number of faces available its unlikely I'll ever encounter a duplicate face and even if it does happen I dont really mind, I prefer it to the default faces!

 

Is this possible to do so all my newgens can have a real face? 

Since the update the game scanner is not finding all the newgens in my save. FM24 if that helps, 85,449 newgens with over 100PA but the scan only finds 79,737. I save and go back to start screen and re enter the save before scanning and have also tried closing and reopening the game.

I already generate the facepack and everything works, but when I load the game the newgens facepack is not generated, it is still use the default one. Any idea why this happens?
 

Thanks so much for your remarkable work on this! It is one of the best additions to the game to be had! 

 

Do you have an estimate as to when the women's face pack may be completed? I'm holding off on starting a women's save until it's done, as having thousands of more faces in a fictional universe will be helpful for immersion purposes. Thanks again! 🙂 

please, can someone kindly mirror this fullpack to pixeldrain/gofile/gdrive or slice it to many part, cos i always get the timeout message from downloading, seems like there's time limit on direct links, my internet speed is not good, it takes almost 5 hours to download this, much appreciate your help

I am new to using NG Regens manager, and this is maybe a stupid question.

But I have 3 different saves and I have generated regens faces for all 3 of them, but do I need to activate the saves in the face manager before I start the save I want to play or is it already linked to the FM save?
