Thanks for poking at it. I'm hoping Lukas or another that scrolls through the forum will chime in. Alas, I've tested it at it is definitely not just patches or updates. If I close my sim and go to the OOTP start screen - it's fine. I can reload the game and no files are overwritten - but if I close the game completely, return to the desktop, double-click OOTP22 and open it - that's when the files reinstall and all those 2300+ files return - to include overwriting anything that has the same name as one of those 2300+ facegens. You don't notice in-game because the game has the old face in the cache - but when you refresh, it is revealed that the file you want has been replaced.
I'm not a programmer but if I were trying to reorganize the decision-making flowchart of the game on where it looks for facegens, I'd have a toggle that says "Use default folder" or "Assign custom folder" for fg's so those that curate their fg collection and don't want anything in there they don't drop in on their own can have tighter control. I'm sure all those fg's are mostly for the KBO or *** aas that's where the company is expanding to and they thought it was an opportunity to "improve" some of the MLB'ers when they added them. But given all the customization one can make in the game, it's be nice if there was a choice if we want all those files in our particular fg folder automatically or wish to be in the middle and have it be a manual process of moving things over to our custom folder.
Look forward to hearing back from the OOTP team. Maybe I'll post it on the "What I want in OOTP 23" thread
