You're welcome mate, glad we got there in the end.
Let this be a cautionary tale for all OneDrive users, this was essentially a convoluted issue caused by OneDrive.
This excerpt from the FHM manual cannot be overstated:
If you have OneDrive, this should be the first thing you do after installing the game in my opinion - it could probably prevent these types of issues from getting out of hand and taking a long time to troubleshoot/resolve.
On a side note Jeff/Sebastian - after resolving this I also helped COYG316 to install a photo mod (this is what he wanted to do initially but couldn't because of the data file not being found issue which sparked the whole debacle). Not using photo mods myself I directed him to copy the contents of the photo mod to the global directory 'Photos' inside the main FHM directory, we then went into the game and checked the box to 'Load Photos from Global Directory' - however, once we rebooted the game, the pictures were still not showing, is that function working as intended? I didn't know how to force the game to look for the images again without just rebooting (aside from using the action menu for all players)
To resolve that we copied the photos into the individual .lg 'player_pics' folder, which worked, however obviously that is only for that single save. To try and give some longevity to that solution I also asked him to copy the pictures to the quickstart.Current relevant folder, so hopefully that should work for his next save he creates but if that won't or there is a better way then please let me know.
Cheers
