@Mike Coll Already done here

I thought that'd been released already So many cuts being added that I can't remember them all

@mons Missing rather than Improvement

How many images in total do you have in your megapack folder?

That looks fine. How many images in total do you have in your megapack folder?

I'm not on my PC right now so can't take a screenshot, but it's in the interface section.

Hmmm, have you tried shutting the game down, turning Steam off, then loading it all up again? Have you tried reloading the cache?

What do you get in-game? Is it the default black cut or is it a blank space?


All I get is the black cut out faces. I installed the sortitoutsi folder into the Document > FM18 > graphics folder. The kits and logos work fine in the same place, which is weird. I've deleted and downloaded the .rar file twice and still get the same issue.

@Mike Coll, just got home and checked. I do not have a C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\graphics\ folder, so you can very simply delete the folder now. I assume it's empty, right?

In my experience, it's always better to ask what you may think is a thick question rather than having to face the consequences of having made a stupid decision for fear of asking for help

Just cut and paste the custom graphics only from "your" folder to "mine". I'm at work so can't check if there's any other files included by default in "your" folder, so sorry if I can't be more specific. If you could upload a screenshot showing its contents, that'd be grand

That's the reason why they're not displaying. They should be located anywhere within Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager / graphics. Just move them (and any other graphics you downloaded) to within that folder and you should be fine.

FAO @Mike Coll, in case you got lost

Which facepack are you using, out of curiosity? Whichever one it is, what you are saying should definitely not happen. Either you have installed the files incorrectly or you have installed conflicting facepacks.

Entries in the FM database are bound to a Unique ID number (UID) and each custom graphic download should have a file named config.xml assigning filenames to separate UIDs. The UID is fixed, so whichever club a person is at should not affect the game's capacity to "read" the config.xml and assign the correct image to the correct person.

@Mike Coll , have a look at this post and, if necessary, skim through the rest of thread. Even though the steps outlined are for FM13, following them may help address your question.

I'm not sure what you mean by "when players move after the january transfer update they just no picture". The default SI image should still be displayed even though they are not at the club the image was taken at, if that's what you mean. If not, then you may not have installed your chosen facepack correctly.

Looks like you're not managing to download the full megapack. How many images does your megapack folder contain please?

which download of graphic? kits? logos?

must be like this - C:\Users\[name]\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\graphics\put in here with logos, kits. etc.

and then 'click 'Preferences'...click 'Interface'....click unticked 'Use caching to decrease page loading times and click tick 'Reload skin when confirming changes in preferences'.....click 'Reload Skin'.

any problem, post here explain what problem ok.
