Welcome to the Facegen Mod Thread
On this anniversary edition of OOTP, I am starting a new thread for the historical facegen pack. The reason is simple. Since becoming the steward of the pack at the beginning of the OOTP24 cycle, numerous people have expressed frustration that the first post of the current CUF thread has outdated information on it that implies it is up-to-date when, in fact, it has not been updated in nearly two years. By starting a new thread, however, I can now edit this first post as needed and ensure that people are not downloading a pack with old faces that were long ago replaced.
I want to thank FancySkunk for carrying on the facegen project when qcbandits left the forum and all the other contributors to-date. I especially want to thank AESP_Pres for the more than 9,600 MLB facegens he has updated over the past two years. If there used to be a gray zombie face in the 19XX's and it is now replaced and improved, that is his handiwork and I, like you, am very grateful for it.
For my part, I have updated more than 20% of the MLB facegens (largely from 1970 forward) and currently create new facegens for the MLBPA license as it is updated throughout the year.
In the days ahead, I will get this post more standardized and improve the formatting. For now, however, I promised a new pack on this pre-release day and a new pack you shall have.
The current link for the Compete Universe Facegen (CUF) Pack is always in my signature. The full pack is the one in bold. Also in my signature are the ones that I did (or significantly revised). These are a mere subset of the whole.
For ease, the CUF link is here:
https://www.mediafire.com/file_premi...k_2.0.zip/file
For those of you unfamiliar with installing facegens, the instructions remain unchanged:
Windows:
1. Download and extract the zip file from the link above
2. Delete or rename the existing fg_files folder in your OOTP install folder
3. Copy the downloaded fg_files folder into your OOTP install folder
Mac
1. Make sure OOTP isn't running.
2. Go to the folder /Users/(username)/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 25.
3. Delete the folder fg_files.
4. Add the downloaded folder, also named fg_files.
Notes:
• Newly created leagues will have the facegens load automatically.
• Older leagues will need to have player pictures updated in order for them to display: League Settings -> Players & Facegen -> Check all picture files of all teams and leagues
The pack is also available in the Steam Workshop. To get it there, subscribe to the mod pack, return to the game and look at the bottom of the start screen and click "Workshop Central". Select the pack (if subscribed, it should show there in a list), after selecting it, on the right, it should give you the option to Download and install the mod. Do so. You will see a lot of files moving over. Be patient. When that competes, you should be subscribed.
If you see a terrible facegen (and there are still many), and it is a MLB player or a prospect relevant to the current game, post here to request a replacement.
If it is a random minor leaguer that never made it to the bigs, go to my personal thread (
https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=331809) and post the Historical Minors ID or a screenshot of the player. They will be deleted. Bad facegens give the whole pack a bad name. They never should have been put in the pack and it is a tedious process to audit and clean them out. Your help is appreciated.
