I guess there's no way to get by the "my documents..." placing of custom content?

My C: drive is low on space but I have loads of it on my other drive. Being forced to put all stadiums, kits, logos etc on the almost full drive instead of the one with all the space is very frustrating.

Maybe it's me being a complete div but I can't find any file to put custom graphics in. I've gone to MY DOCUMENTS and the only files in there are..

db
games
matches
skins
sounds

No sign of a graphics file. Where is it?

Create it.

I see. So how do I drop the in-game graphics. Will this file over-write others? For instance, if I put a different style of Championship logos in this file will it over-write those already in the game.

If not, how do I remove the in game graphics?

If you load up the game, and go into the preferences menu you can change the location of your User Data folder, once you have selected your new location, close the game down transfer your files to the new location and reload the game.

Oh, that's right. You're a life saver!

Help. With regards to putting facepacks etc onto the game, i've done what has been explained on here, but when i go to quit the game after changing my user data folder the game asks me if i want to discard all changes i've made and won't allow me to quit. Very confused. never had this much difficulty trying to get facepacks to work?

Did you click confirm when you exited the Preferences Menu?

Also have you picked a valid folder that exists on your hard drive and you have full access to it?
