Can someone please help me - i'm a complete newb when it comes to modding FM.

So, i've installed the newgen package (the basic ‘bundle’ not mega) which means i've gone to preferences/detailed/audio visual and checked the boxes for ‘show pictures of playes etc…’ and ‘use pre-gen pics…. etc'   this now means all my existing newgens are now blank, so i'm guessing i have to wait for the next batch of youngsters for the newgens to appear with realistic faces?  is this right / normal ??

but I also want to add my own face to a newgen already existing.  so, i created my image as a 180x180 png and placed it into a folder i created in ‘documents/sports interactive/football manager 26/graphics’  (i created the graphics folder).  I labelled the image with the ID number of the player and then used FMl to create a config file.  Everything looks in order, but the player continues to be blank.

I keep reading that i need to reload skin, but I cannot see that anywhere - does this apply to older versions of fm or am i missing something.

 

Everything I've read so far say's about creating the folder graphics in the location i have, but does FM know to look in this folder?  if FM26 does still need to have skin reloaded for this to work, then where is it as i cannot find ‘use caching to decrease page loading time’ and ‘reload skin when confirming changes’ anywhere.

 

really would appreciate any help or advise on this this - it's got to the point of driving me potty.

Thanks, Craig
