It’s always pleasant to play Football Manager having facepacks installed. So one of my first actions after new FM installation was an attempt to add player faces from Cut-Out Megapack created by guys from SortItOutsi.net site. I downloaded it here:

My problems with Football Manager 2011 facepacks
This is the most weird what happened with me after Football Manager 2011 release. I downloaded the megapack successfully but didn’t managed to install it
Problem #1 – solved:
Football Manager 2011 didn’t pick up and load player faces independently of chosen user data folder. ‘Skin Cache’ was unticked and ‘Always reload on confirm’ was enabled of course. I tried to copy face files in default ‘My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011\graphics’ folder as well as in my user folders changing corresponding setting in FM preferences but no luck.Problem #2 – unsolved:
In the end the problem was solved after the moment I had installed Football Manager 2011 from DVD and run it as Administrator in Windows 7.
Steam version of FM 11 cannot be run under Administrator rights.
While running in Administrator mode Football Manager 2011 started to hang up during loading and stopping the process with critical error in few minutes. I tried to analyse memory usage by means of Task Manager and saw that FM 2011 eats 2GB fluently and then crash appears. Then I moved my the facepack and saw that FM 11 loaded successfully.It is at first when I have issues with facepack installation in Football Manager. Previous versions of the game didn’t cause such kind of problems.
Cannot resolve this problem completely. But I invented a workaround:
- downloaded smaller facepacks of several leagues from FM-Base forum + Jackioo’s 2011 Facepacks.
- ticked ‘Show Unique ID’s’ in Football Manager 2011 preferences. So if I need a face of a concrete player I search it by ID that corresponds to file name with his face in Megapack folder. If it’s found I copy it to my ‘user data’ folder of Football Manager 2011

To get around the Run As Administrator problem you could always use the built in Administrator account on Windows 7. I've always used it and never had a single problem with any of my Steam games. By default it is off go here to find out how to enable it: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/507-built-administrator-account-enable-disable.html
Use option 2 if you're using Home Premium - hope this helps!
Hey Vitaly,
This is good, but when I tried to install a skin on FM 11 for mac, bought off steam, it didn't work, and it messed my game graphics up - mainly in the menus. I had to redownload steam, and I haven't tried yet, but I hope this worked. Will this happen with the facepack?

...is the first deportivo post ever going to come out? :D
Sometimes it all seems so random! I installed the faces megapack in Win7 with DVD FM 2011 and no admin right whatsoever in here:
...\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011\graphics\faces\MEGAPACK 3.1
I renamed the folder to MEGAPACK 3.1
since it's updated and have all the pictures in it.
I also have the Cut-Out Icons Megapack 3.0, FM2011 Metallic Logos Megapack, a custom skin adn the FM11 Susie Real Names for Clubs, Competitions and Awards Fix. Have no probs with the game, my Task Manager doesn't show me more then 600 MB of RAM used by game!
Maybe reinstall Win will work? :D
