Hi Darren,
I tried your suggestion but it won’t work for me. Beforehand I had the Italian and Dutch logos (which are already in FM bc they got the licenses) then I reloaded the skin as you said and now everything is gone. I’m happy at least something happened but I still don’t have my faces and logos in-game?
Please help!
Best regards,
Lance
Sorry I am lost on what I have recommended? Have you managed to find your FM files on mac first by using the options key to see your library and navigate to the location that way?
Yes I found the libary and the sports interactive folder. After I created the folder graphics and ‘logos’, ‘kits’ and ‘faces’. Dragged the downloaded files in those folders. Cleared cache, reloaded skin, but no results.
OK so you created the ‘graphics’ folder and then WITHIN that created the logos, kits and faces folders? If so thats right. Place relevant items in folders. Then you need to do the below;
– Tick the box ‘reload skin when confirming changes in preferences’.
– UNTICK the box ‘Use caching to decrease page loading times’
– Click confirm.
If all followed correct it should work unless your foles are from a previous game and maybe not working.
Hi Darren,
I did all these steps you described, but I don’t have it working. I have no idea why it won’t work and watched several guides on youtube etc. Could it be possible to help me via TeamViewer or etc?
I couldn’t say what the problem is Lance, if you have followed the instructions there must be something else going on. If its new, FM20 downloads you are trying to use then no idea what is happening, if not might be the FM19 files won’t work.
Thanks I’m going to uninstall fm20 and do all the steps again, maybe I made a mistake somewhere…
I remember that in the library there wasn’t a folder named ‘sports interactive’ in the application support folder. So I dragged the SI folder for fm20 from documents to the ‘application support’. Maybe I didn’t have to do this?
It should be there or the game won’t work in theory, you definitely do not add it or it certainly won’t work.
NOTworkingFORmeEITHER!!!
Have you found the Sports Interactive folder after following instructions?
Isn’t it possible to do as teamview session or something to show me what I’ve done wrong? I’m totally lost on this topic…
Lance I don’t use or know what you mean by teamview. If you don’t have a Sports Interactive folder in your application support you either have a crack copy (not suggesting that is the case) or something is wrong with your game or laptop which would need reporting in the SI forum.
Hi,
I’ve followed everything you suggested for Mac users. However, I only have the staff faces and not the player faces.
Not sure what else I can/should do?
That is not an issue with finding your files then, that is an issue with the download for the facepack. Either it is corrupt or you have not moved the files correctly. If you have not downloaded via a torrent I would suggest starting there. I tried normal local download myself and the files were corrupt. If you’re not sure, contact the people who created your facepacks.
So I initially found the folder you mentioned and managed to load one single tactic out of the few Ive downloaded – then went to repeat the process only to now find that the sports interactive folder has mysteriously vanished – it really shouldn’t be this hard surely ??? How do I get the folder to reappear ? Any ideas ?
After I posted this I just kept clicking through various places and eventually went back to the above place described above and mysteriously the folder appeared – to then load each tactic I had to keep doing this process to make the folder appear to load a new tactic
Thanks
To confirm, you have to do the instructions in this tutorial EVERYTIME you want to access the file. The Library is hidden, it is not a case of unlocking it, you will need to go through this each time I am afraid. Sounds like you were maybe expecting the SI folder to be accesible after doing this the first time.
Hi Darren,
I have found these files, but when I add my downloads (greek lower divisions into editor data and wannachup sim match into graphics), they don not appear. I have followed correctly all the instructions from each website but nothing happens. What should I do?
I would contact the people who made the files and check you are doing all the steps correctly. Theres a number of areas you may be slipping up. Or the files could be corrupt.
Hi again Darren,
Do your downloads appear in your game? (if you use Mac OS Catalina)
I don’t understand what you mean. I have logos loaded in my game following the instructions here on this post and on this logos post https://www.footballmanagerstory.com/fm-2020-logos-megapack-tcm-logos-download/
Hi Darren,
Somehow my save got deleted, but I’ve been able to find it in the ‘games’ folder through your instructions. Is there any way I can then load up the deleted game?
That doesn’t make sense, if it is in the folder it should be in your game to load. Maybe try moving that file out of the folder and then moving it back again, then re-load the game and try loading again. Also ensure you are loading from your computer and not the cloud that may be the issue also.
any chance you know how to add commentary sound on mac?
Considering there is no commentary sound in FM I’m afraid not.
Hi. How do I install graphics on mac os big sur? Struggling to find the folders?
I have downloaded the files and have the file in the correct folder but it’s not working. Do I need to open the kits file by downloading another programme? If so what do you suggest on a Mac.
Yes you need to use Unzip, WinRAR or some sort of extrtactor software.
