How To Install Player Faces In Football Manager 2009

Quite a few people asked for step by step instructions on how to properly add player and staff faces into Football Manager 2009 and that’s why I decided to write this guide. I hope that it’s clear enough and easy to understand.

Step 1

Download a facepack of your choice. Let’s use one just for testing purposes, the Brazil facepack. Download it and you should have a file called Brazil.zip in your computer.

Step 2

Extract the contents of the zip file into the following folder

If you are using WindowsVista -> C:\Users\Your Account Name\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\graphics\players\

If you are using Windows XP -> C:\Documents and Setting\Your Account Name\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\graphics\players\

If the graphics or players folders do not exist just create them like this:

Go to the Football Manager 2009 folder in My Documents, right click in the Windows Explorer window and select New > Folder. A folder is created and you should name it with the appropriate name, «graphics» or «players».

Step 3

Open your Football Manager 2009 game.

Step 4

Go to Preferences, click on Display & Sound. Untick the box that says Use Skin Cache and tick the box that says Always Reload Skin on Confirm, like in the picture below.

Step 5

Click on «Confirm» and everything should be OK. Let me know if there are any problems, I’ll try to help you out.
