Complete Universe Facegen Pack 2.0 (New)

[COYG316]

You the man!

[luckymann]

Hey guys do you mind sharing with me what your most recent version of Rickey Henderson looks like?

Many thanks

[AESP_pres]

Lans already did him for the pack in 2023 (I think)... what I post is his work not mine but he looks perfectly fine to me.

[LansdowneSt]

Yup. That's the current one. It was based one of these two pics. Can't recall which. Probably the first one since it's turned.

I desaturated it a little but for the most part, I think CJ is fine. Not sure what to tweak for ya. I'm inclined to let this one stand.

Bewdiful thanks as always.

Probably complete user error but I can't find the path needed on a Mac. I'm not seeing an Application Support folder. Has anyone been able to install this via Mac?

Find where the "fg_files" folder is (that's where all the .fg files need to be dumped into - no subfolders will be read) best done going to Settings from the Start Page, then when the window pops-up, going to the Troubleshooting tab, and then there are some buttons and you want to hit the one that says "Open folder containing customizable data".

From there you will see the game's "fg_files" folder. Copy all the .fg files (select all) from the unzipped pack (zip folder is in my signature block) and drag them into that "fg_files" folder.

Let me know if that works for you. If I missed a Mac step, someone will catch me but that should work.

What system version are you using, blackthrone?

I'm a stick in the mud who stuck with High Sierra, so here's how things are for me.

1) In a finder window, click on the icon for your hard drive.

2) This gives the following folders: Applications, Library, System, Users. Click on Users.

3) This gives you a folder for any user profiles you have. Click on the one for the profile you are using. (My user profile is named "user". Because I'm boring like that.)

4) This folder contains the following folders: Application Support, Applications, and a bunch of others. Click Application Support.

5) This should contain a folder named Out Of The Park Developments

6) This should contain a folder named OOTP Baseball [number of whichever version]

7) This should contain a folder named fg_files

(Quotation marks omitted because I'm lazy.)

Hope this helps!

Rick Foley soon, Lans? (The Sawx recently snapped the 12-game win streak that got Baltimore back in the race, albeit perhaps too late. Jim Rooker, beaten badly in his first two Boston outings since being picked up on waivers, got the win in relief.)

[LansdowneSt]

Rickey accidently reported to the Brewers but says he was happy just to make it. Make it to the bigs? No, make it to the CUF'in pack. Sorry, had a busy couple days at the day job. But off until Monday

Thanks for your patience, Amazin'

Thank you so much! Finding the path through the troubleshooting page was all it took. Thanks for all your hard work on this. This package is amazing!

Thanks for the reply. I'm on a newer version OS but I think LansdowneSt was able to get me where I needed. Appreciate you taking the time to try and help!

No problem; the Angels are in Milwaukee right now, after all. Foley just went to the wrong clubhouse, I presume.

Bryan Don Hardy (not to be confused with latter-day 1B Bryan J. Hardy) pitched well enough at Bingham High School (South Jordan, UT) that the Cardinals made him their 7th round pick in 1976. However, like any good son of the LDS church, he was more interested in attending Brigham Young University, and presumably doing a mission overseas. As a result, by the time he was draft-eligible again in 1979, he hadn't actually posted a large resume in Provo, and the Cubs only took him in the 17th round. But Bryan decided that was good enough (he could study in the off-season) and he turned pro.

He overmatched the NY-Penn League in his first half-season (7-1, 2.79, 82 Ks in 84 IP) and moved up to Quad Cities in 1980, alongside Richard Renwick and Mike Thompson, doing well enough (4-6, 2.93) to merit further scrutiny. (The Cubs have called up Hardy in my game because Renwick has been sent back down, and while Thompson has pitched almost 70 innings with a good K/9 rate, his ERA is 5.84)

But then he missed the entire 1981 season (was this the mission year? Was there an injury? Did he go back to school full-time?) and a middling 1982 for Salinas in the Cal League proved the end of the road, professionally.

Not that Bryan minded, I don't think, He had graduated from BYU in the off-season and seems to have gone on to lead a good life working at Deseret Laboratories in St. George UT, and also serving as a teacher and coach. And he had the sort of "be fruitful and multiply" family that the LDS church encourages: 5 children, 16 grandchildren

Unfortunately, he came to the end of the literal road all too soon, as he developed ALS and passed away in 2011 at age 53. I don't know if he ever complained, semi-jokingly, that he shouldn't have gotten "Lou Gehrig's Disease" because he was a pitcher, not a first baseman; that was Bryan J. Hardy who played 1B, so clearly this was a screw-up! (Almost certainly not; Bryan probably wasn't the sort of wiseacre that I am.)

I don't have any pictures of Hardy in his playing days, just later in life. (Even though he was on the same Quad Cities team that got Renwick and Thompson their TCMA cards; apparently TCMA went looking for Bryan J. Hardy or something.)




I don't know if you want to de-age him (and give him back his hairline) or go digging in the yearbooks.

(In all seriousness, one of the tragic things I found in this story was that both of Hardy's parents [who were in their late 70s at the time] survived his passing…and then they both died within five years. So they had to suffer through losing a child to a slow and difficult disease, and then the grandkids and great-grandchildren lost them, fairly soon after. Ouch.)

Thanks in advance.

Any chance we could get a decent facegen for Federal Leaguer Ducky Yount (yount-001hen)? I don't see one in any of the packs, and this is what there is in the old CUP:

[LansdowneSt]

Herbert Macon Yount.

Nickname per Baseball Reference... "Hub"? And... perhaps... also,,, "Ducky".

Did the best I could with the one picture available. Thanks to the crew on the Photo thread for managing to find guys like this so something can be done with for facegen purposes.

[LansdowneSt]

Amazin', here is a facegen for Bryan Don Hardy. His family was kind enough to post a family photo - like the kind one got at JC Penney's back in the day. I closed the mouth as he had that (seemingly) characteristic smile in the photo. Then used that for the facegen.

Good luck to him in the sim.

I purchased this digital image of Yount from the Chicago History Museum. Rights issues prevent me from posting the entire image but here is a good likeness of him in his full Federal League uniform.

Any chance you can touch up Gene Brabender here?

The one in the pack is better as AESP redid him. Be sure you have most recent edition installed and, if it is, go to player editor and auto-refresh the picture. It may be an old image in the cache needing to be refreshed. Either way, here is the one in the CUF pack presently

Does the Steam Workshop version get updated, or should we add additional items we want from this forum topic?

Also, regarding Steam: does the downloaded mod overwrite your actual fg folder, or does it create a redirected mod directory when turning on the mod in the game?
