Download Mega FacePack for Football Manager 2012

Good news folks, an awesome FacePack for Football Manager 2012 is now available to download thanks to the brilliant work of the wonderful lads at Sortitoutsi. The facepack has over 90,000 player and staff images to use in FM 2012, I guess the number says it all! Here is how these faces look in my game:

How to download

I’m sure that you want to download this beauty but before we proceed you should know that the file is quite large, over 4 GB! If you still want to download the facepack then you have two options:

Premium Download (single file and very fast)

— You can have access to the premium download for a very small fee, just 83p per month! I am a premium member and I definitely recommend this version, not only because of the fast download but also because it’s a good way to show some support for Sortitousi and the awesome work that they are doing.

Regular Download (split files and rather slow)

— You will still have to register in order to have access to this and you might have slower download speed and you will also have to download the big file split into many tiny archives.

It’s your choice, just visit fmdownloads.com (click the link) and you will be shown what to do.

However, if you have already downloaded the Faces MegaPack for FM 2011 you will only have to download the update packs, I will give you more details about that below.

How to install

1. If you download the standalone 4.0 pack

— Extract the file to a location of your choice. For extraction you will need either a archive utility program like 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac.

— Copy or move the folder named «sortitoutsi» to: Documents>Sports Interactive>Football Manager 2012>graphics

— I you do not have a «graphics» folder in there you will have to create it before copying or moving the files into it.

— Open Football Manager 2012 and go to: Preferences > Display & Sound and tick the check box named «Always Reload Skin on Confirm» and un-tick then box named «Use Skin Cache» as shown in the screen shot below. Click «Confirm» and the skin should reload. Once that is done the faces should be available in your game.

2. If you already have the previous FM 2011 versions

— First you will have to move the folder containing the faces from Documents>Sports Interactive>Football Manager 2011>graphics to Documents>Sports Interactive>Football Manager 2012>graphics.

— Then download the subsequent updates one by one. After you finish downloading extract each update to a location of your choice. Then copy or move the image files plus the config files to overwrite the ones that already exist in the game folder mentioned above. You will have to apply the updates sequentially, for instance 3.10 first and then 3.11 and then 3.12.

— Make the same adjustments to the game preferences as mentioned in point 1.

Enjoy this brilliant piece of work and remember that you can always come here if you have any questions or problems during installation.
