I must admit, I'm having problems activating the file.

 

I download it, copy it to the graphics folder, and still feel like something isn't right. 

Many, many games from Vanarama N/S have no image. That seems strange to me.

 

Is there a way to test whether I have installed the file correctly—using a player 

who should only have an image with the file?

 

How many files do you have in faces folder?

Hello guys, my message has been removed (maybe not in the right section), so I repost it here:

I don't get one thing. If I download the last megapack, I should have every picture in every pack and update before, right ?

Why I found many players that are in older updates but not in the last megapack ?

Ex : 12094357, 43435725 or this one 77062638

 

Can you tell me why ? Thanks a lot 🙂

How many faces do you have in your faces folder?

By ruipereira 25 October 2025 - 08:03 AM UTC 

I have a Mac and I am having issues loading the new Logos, Kits and Faces that I downloaded from this website. I'm using Steam to play the game. 

I believe I added the files to the right “Graphics” folder but nothing works. No new logos, kits or faces. Strange. I was always able to make them work in previous FMs.

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thank you in advance.

For me, it's the lack of backgrounds (especially stadiums). Adboards I can live without, but stadium pics and even competition pics could give a bit more immersion.

I installed on FM26 the Real Name Fix and the FMG Logos Megapack for the teams, and now I have all the correct names! But, the FMG Logos Megapack logos only for the non-licensed teams (e.g., Lazio, Atalanta) aren't appearing. What should I do?

 

This is the topic for realname fix, not for logos megapack. If logos are not working, please ask in FMG Logos megapack thread.

I've got the same issue as above. Not all Spanish badges are pulling through along with Italy, Portuguese and Turkish, 

 

Always remember to delete any small folder from the graphics → logos subfolder

El archivo .rar no funciona. Tiene un problema.

 

Something wrong with the file you've downloaded. Maybe it's not a full file. But corrupted unpacking means there's a problem with downloaded file.

I have no issues with all logos in the game (apart from Serie A logo, but this may be fixed by installing realname fix).

 

If you haven't done that already, please delete any small logos folder if you have one, because that may cause it.

sorry to be clear - I am using the cut out faces mega pack. I am playing Newcastle as my team but all the pics form cut out faces megapack are quite dated and preferred the new FM licensed pics, I was hoping there was a way to keep the new FM licensed pictures whilst adding the mega pack for the unlicensed - the best of both worlds 

 

In that case, you have to remove all the pictures one by one from the megapack. Which is time-consuming. Maybe someone will create updated packs for Premier League teams and in next facepack update you will have all the toons faces you want. But that's a maybe.

Hi - am i able to use FMs PL faces as they are more upto date and use SISI graphics pack for everyone else? or use FMs faces for everyone they have a license for and SISI for all unlicensed/blank faces? 

 

To be fair, I don't know what SISI graphic pack is but if you have a facepack already, it probably has the faces that are already in the game (the licensed ones.).

 

If you have a facepack with a face that is already in the game, the game will use the face from the facepack.

Hi

Please let me know if you could imstall face cuts in FM 26 Beta? i can not find clear cache option there

 

Yes, you can install the faces. And there's no option to clear cache anymore. Just copy and paste in graphics folder and restart the game.

Why can't this be done during the Beta?

 

Because probably it can be changed only in pre game editor.

hi all, just started FM26 and try to install the Facepack, in preferences  I cannot find the right buttons to  add/ change >>reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences”  etc.  Am I the only one, or is this a ‘common situation’  because of the status Beta?  

 

Right now there are no reload skin buttons so you only place the facepack in graphics subfolder, and it should work (after the restart).

By galvanize777 13 August 2025 - 15:56 PM UTC 

Well, you saw the mistake yourself, I hope that now the file with the 4th league and daily updates will be correct, because it's important to me because I stream on YouTube and play lower Polish leagues and I want it to be available in Europe at the moment

 

Again, there was no mistake because two files may not be compatible with each other. I've only activated lower leagues without any further changes and without promotion/relegation updates for 24/25 and 25/26 season (it was even mentioned by me in polish in comments section that you didn't read).

 

And you try to argue this since Monday, instead you could just ask - hey, polish file is not working for me, I try to load lower league files and promotion files. Can you guys help?

 

I hope that you understand this message well, and there will be no further problem with communication on your part. 

 

Cheers.

you've uploaded two files, so I presume these are the files you try to load. Files with promotions/relegations are not working with lower league files. And if you have file from older version of the database, check in editor file topic if there's a new version of that file.

From the screenshot provided, I can see, that you have additional editor data files loaded with additional leagues. You've probably loaded more than one file with polish league. Uncheck the other file when starting a new game and it should work. It's not a problem with file, because it is never a problem with file.

Hi, I'm trying to find the ID numbers for a couple of teams down in Level 12 of English football which I downloaded via a lower leagues pack, so I can add their logos etc. I've tried the ID lookup tool, but it doesn't loo like it goes quite that far down. Is there anyway I find these ID numbers? Many thanks 😊

 

Yes, you can load this file in editor and check the id's there.

One Way do get it hopefully done, described in different words:

This worked for me:

 

my problem was that I extracted all of the files together into the graphics folder and ended up with multiple folders each with a config.

 

the game needs the config to read the files.

 

When you download the megapack (the biggest file from all)

u end up with a faces folder and an icon faces folder.

Both facesfolders also include a config.

 

If you have this folder inside your graphics folder it should work!

 

but the updates are still missing.

The update files also include those folders with updated faces and also the config.

So the config from update 1 for example is basically the config from the megabuck including the updates. Thats why u replace it with the one from the update file.

 

You extract them one by one in order and put the insides of the folders into the folders from the megapack and replace the files that already been there (newer updated photos of players) and also the updated config.

The config from the update files is the old config including the new updates, that’s why its important to put them in order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So how it worked for me with the Mega  face pack uncut + Updates: 
First Download Mega Pack and unpack it. I did it on Mac and after unpacking I got a sortitutsi folder. 

 

This folder called “sortitusi”, the one you extracted from the Mega Facepack uncut, you put into the graphics folder. 

(How you find this one, hidden folder if you have a Mac, you can google quite easily 🙂) + If you don't have a graphics folder, just make a new one. 

 

Inside the extracted folder (sortitutsi) you will find one folder named Faces and one named Iconfaces. Both of them have their own config. file. 

That's for the game so it understands where to put the Facepictures. 

 

Now you have to reload the skin in game (click option inside settings (you will also find it pretty easily via google.) + after you did, also tick box to load stuff via cache or something like that. 

 

IF you did this, you can go in game and will have the pictures from mega pack uncut. 

 

 

With the updates. you also to the unpacking stuff and will then find another “sortitutsi” folder with Faces and Iconfaces folder. BUT: YOU THEN JUST COPY AND PASTE ALL THE PICTURES FROM THE “FACES” FOLDER OUT OF THE UPDATE FOLDER YOU JUST DOWNLOADED AND EXTRACTED INTO THE FACES FOLDER OF THE MEGA PACK UNCUT AND TICK REPLACE IF ASKED. SAME WITH THE ICONFACES. 

 

You have to do that with each new update. And update after update. Important: don't go update 2,3,1, go 1,2,3 or 1,2,5 for example. The config file will always get overwritten and you need the lates one if you want data update pictures. Remember: the gam needs it to connect your pictures to the right players. 

 

Also don't wonder if starting the game first takes some time, the game needs to adjust. (Uploading new data kind of

 


 

 

So basically, you've just followed instructions from the video. And based on what you showed me in private message, you didn't have all faces in main pack and you didn't have config file as well.

 

That's why it's important to follow the instructions.

I downloaded Mega Pack Cut out faces for Mac + the updates. Installed them like described in the folder + did the cache thing in game. Now I have not faces at all and not even “non face players from before" have a silhouette. It is loading ages and after the cache thing it also takes a long time. like 20 minutes minimum. Do you have any ideas? Im a little frustrated. 
Also: is it normal that I have 8 folders after downloading and extracting the big fm24 faces + the update folders? Or should it be just one? 

You need to extract the main pack, and then you copy and paste updates to that main folder.

Does National teams squads updates Included in data update? 

 

I believe the national team call-ups are ‘’based'' by CA and reputation (at least in most cases). So if there were any changes to these two things - national teams might look a bit different.
