Mod installing

I started a thread about this over in the mods forum. Here's the link

I decided to post this here because it looks like it gets more traffic. Anyone willing to help?

OK, here's the key piece of info you are missing so far:

Any picture-type items (which includes photos, facegens, and logos) which actually show up in a given league are found in this folder:

saved games/[your saved game]/news/html/images

If you are not getting what you want to show up, it's because what you want is not in that folder. It may be that the wrong thing is in there, and it's showing up instead (which is why the right thing is not getting installed there in the first place -- the game doesn't know it's got the wrong thing there). So you have to make sure you replace the wrong thing with the right thing.

Hope that helps.

First time poster...

Just wanted to clarify, this would be for everything (ballcaps, logos, jereseys, stadiums, etc) EXCEPT for facegen files correct?

The facegen files that people download are data files. They don't belong in the images folder, but in the fg_files folder. But they are used to create the pictures that you see. So you want to be sure those pictures are showing up in the images folder.

Stadiums, ballcaps and jerseys are not stored in the images folder at any time -- just player photos, player pictures and team logos.

Ah-hah, that would explain my issues then. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Steve. Was away for the weekend, so I didn't get the chance at the time
