Default Please Help I'm desperate !

Hi,

I have read various threads on this forum, but still cannot get any of the graphics to work.

Am running Vista Premium and have saved and extracted various Stadium Images, kits and logo's to:

C/Users.....SI/Fm08/Graphics

Note: I haven't created sperate folders for stadiums, logos and kits.

I have also followed the guidelines on General / Preferences and unticked the "always reload skin on confirm" box.

Everything I have d/l has been from sortitoutsi.net

Have I missed something / forgotten something.

Please, please help as this will further my enjoyment of the game.

Ok , I was a bit confused at first too but I soon got the hang of it.

Have you downloaded the graphics? Yes?
Well if they are a rar. file then you will need to extract them using WinRar which can be downloaded for free (demo)
Then once extracted you should have your files.
Go to your user documents, and find Sports Interactive
You should be in something like this
CDocuments and Settings\user\My Documents
Go to "Graphics" and in that folder create two new folders "Players" and "Kits" , move the files you have just extracted with WinRar , into the destined folder , for eg.
Premier League 07/08 Facepacks - Players
Premier League 07/08 Kits - Kits
Hope it helps,
Kev

Martins21, thanks for the reply.

I have done that.

In c/users/..../si/fm08 I have created a folder called "graphics". Within this folder i have 3 sub folders, "Stadiums" "Logos" and "Kits"

I have extracted to relevant folders and ensured that the config.xml file is present.

I have ensure that I have set up the preferences on the game as per the "Custom Guide" thread.

Still my d/l images so not show in the game....

any ideas? Please help me....

Change the stadiums folder name to Backgrounds.

Make sure where you unticked skin chace, That Show Backgrounds & Logos is ticked also.

Also, restart your game, See if that works.

It seems you have done everything correct. Backgrounds don't really work that well with the default skin but the other graphics will work ok.
