I like to put each country's kitpacks into separate sub-folders, like the attached, but that's just my OCD. You can name them anything you want as long as they're within that path and in separate sub-folders


All working now, many thanks mons

You should have separate folders for each kitpack you download. Having them in the same older will see you overwrite or rename the config file, which is crucial in mapping the kit images to the correct team.


Many thanks Mons.

So the folders obviously need different names; am I free to call them whatever I want, or is there a specific naming convention I need to follow?

Cheers

Why in the world arent you filling in where to put them? if you found it out


Apologies Pål:

It needed to be /Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2017/graphics/<type>/ where <type> could be replaced by kits, logos, faces, flags, iconfaces, pictures or trophies.

Following on from an earlier License file issue, I was still changing the Football Manager 2017 folder found in Users/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/

Hope that helps.

Realised I was actually putting them to the wrong directory after all, so I now have the majority working.

However: although I have downloaded Premiership kits, the game appears to be ignoring them. The 'png' files are in the same directory as the Championship kits - which are being recognised and used - but the Premier League teams all have the generic kit.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Downloaded the latest pack for 2017 onto my iMac. But where do I copy the files to?

I thought it was to .../Football Manager 2017/graphics/logos, but I put them there, cleared the cache, unticked the 'Use caching..' and ticked the 'Reload skin when...'. I also clicked 'Reload Skin' before confirm my changes.

Still, I don't see the badges or logos.

Please could someone help me as to what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks
