This is what you do, and I'm talking Windows. If you're on a Mac, you will have to edit this to fit your setup.
Go to where your game is INSTALLED (not where your saved games folder is located; my saved games folder is in My Documents, the default). On my machine, the game is installed here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 13.
In that folder, there is a folder called data and in that one there is a folder called skins. So the complete address is C:\Program Files (x86)\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 13\data\skins.
In the skins folder are three more folders corresponding to the three skins available in this game. Drill down into each of those to the folder called images. Now the complete address is C:\Program Files (x86)\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 13\data\skins\ootp 13\images, where "ootp 13" in that address could also be "ootp 13 classic" or ootp 13 dark."
In each of those image folders, you will see the original player_mood and player_status icons that come with the game. You should copy over the contents of the zip files in Bobble's thread over these files. Don't change any file names! Do the same for all three skins.
Now the important part. Nothing is going to happen unless you rename or delete the skin.bin file in each skins folder (that is, each skin that you intend to use with the new icons). Go one level back up to locate this file; for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 13\data\skins\ootp 13. Either rename it, say, "skin_old.bin," or delete it if you feel lucky.
Skin.bin is the file in which the game imports all of those images and combines them into the skin that you use in your graphical interface. By deleting it, or renaming it, you force the game to rebuild the file the next time you start the game, using that skin (NOTE - it may take a while). The game takes a snapshot of the new mood and status icons and includes them in the skin interface. So, you no longer see happy/frowny faces for player moods; you see cool thumbs instead (I show four of the six below).

See below. Actually, he had some rather fine seasons and he was a very good player. He just wasn't the superstar that I expected when I first saw him.
