Could someone help me get real photos in the steam version of the game. I cannot find where to place the photos.

Go to League Settings and click on the Database tab. On the right side of the page, there will be a line that says "This game uses the photo folder..." followed by a path. That is the folder where you should place your photos.

Here's how to upload this photo pack for OOTP Steam version only on Mac. These instructions worked for OOTP 20 on both Mac and PC. You need to match the file path under league settings in a saved game to where the OOTP photos folder resides on your hard drive.

Step 1)
Find where the photos folder resides on your hard drive. For me (again on OOTP Steam version, on a Mac), the file path is:
Macintosh HD -> Users -> myusername -> Library -> Application Support -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Out of the Park Baseball 20 -> default_data -> photos

Note, there should file a file called "_readme.txt" already in the photos folder, however the instructions are outdated.

Step 2)
Download this photo pack. Highlight all images within the photo pack and drag and drop them into the "photos" folder with location described above.

Step 3)
Launch OOTP. Within a saved game, go to League Settings and click on the Database tab. On the right side of the page, there will be a line that says "This game uses the photo folder..." followed by a path. That is the folder where your photos need to reside to display in-game. Change this file path to match where you stored the photos above (Macintosh HD -> Users -> myusername -> Library -> Application Support -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Out of the Park Baseball 20 -> default_data -> photos)

Step 4)
In League Settings, go to Player & Facegen tab. Uncheck the box called "Load FaceGen files automatically".

Step 5) Save your game and exit to OOTP Main Menu. Re-load your game, go to a popular MLB player, and his real photo should display in the upper left hand corner of his profile page.
