Worked ONCE, but after that, the NewGAN manager wouldn't boot up, even after I deleted and re-installed more than once. Won't open/run, even if I "run as administrator". Too bad, as I was going to use it for my sign-up save/simulation and all the players I was going to use had no pics. Maybe by FM22 you'll have an actual, functional program.
this will not open the newgen program at all
Awesome work. That's a must-have add-on.
Seeing as I've gotten it to work perfectly on FM20 and have helped others to do the same I thought I'd post instructions on how to do it here.

The issue on older versions of FM is that you cannot import the "is newgen" filter provided and the tool only works on 10-digit UIDs so there cannot be any real players in the .rtf file you save, so you have to make it yourself which requires the in-game editor so you can filter for hidden variables. Follow the instructions provided, but on step 13 instead of importing the filter you go into "Edit Search", click the arrow next to "Add Condition" -> "Hidden" -> "Is newgen". Then you set the condition to "Is Not" and leave the field blank. That filters the search to only newgens (this is exactly what the imported filter does). Make sure this is the only active condition, so you don't filter away any newgens (and that you don't exclude your own players, the provided instructions tell you how to do this). Then you continue to follow the steps in the provided instructions as written. I got this to work on FM20 but it should work the same on older versions of FM as long as the newgens have 10-digit UIDs and you can import the "SCRIPT FACES player search" view so the correct variables are included in the .rtf file.
I've followed the everything correctly but can't get the newgan app to open. has anyone got a fix?
it is excellent, same issue as others though despite multiple downloads/ uninstalls the tool won't open past the installation phase.
Was able to get it working on FM19 following A.Fant's instructions for FM20!

One issue I'm having is that the generated faces don't match the match engine characters; for example my ST is a blond, but the generated face is dark brunette hair; and my winger is a dark skinned German player, but the generated face is a typical looking caucasian. Wondering if there's a way to match those up better.
Absolutely amazing! What a tool thanks so much for all your work, youtube video made the install and use very easy to understand.
(FM22), Downloaded it and followed all of the step, everything was going well until my first youth intake after I had activated it. It's March 9th in game and I'm assuming this is the youth intake date since it always falls around there. The game just keeps crashing and I've tried everything so far from deleting the entire FM22 file in %appdata% (possible solution from reddit) to deleting the txt file of my saves current regens from the Documents FM22 file. If anyone else has run into this issue please let me know, because as it stands I can not progress past March 8th in my current save.
program does not start anymore
I think this needs an update as the regions in FM22 changed compared to FM21. Apart from that great work! Really enjoyed the faces in my FM 21 saves!
Works brilliantly and instructions are easy to follow (FM22). Thanks Team for all the hard work to put this together, so much nicer looking at "real" faces rather than the standard regen ones.
Great mod, but is it no longer working with 24.2 december update?
So glad it's back & improved for 2022! Works great Thank you
managed to get it to generate faces. however, the faces are just black??
I love this tool and honestly can't imagine myself enjoying a long playthrough without it. However, I am running into an issue with my save (and rolling saves) where I am getting the "Game cannot be loaded" message on all saves including the rolling saves. This seems odd and is not the case for other saves where I have not applied the Face pack. Is there a correlation? A fix? Any help would be great!
the rtf file is invaild

This means you forgot to change the view before exporting, like where it says 'general info' you have to change that to the correct view before exporting

Corrupted my entire game, so no saves will load even though I followed the download instructions exactly

All the program does is work in the graphics folder, it touches no other part of the game I can absolutely promise you, I would remove all of your save files from the 'games' folder, throw them on your desktop or upload them to google drive etc for safe keeping, then redownload football manager as a whole
Love this, however I had a question, specifically in the staff script faces view, our main man Brad Friedel is in the list even though he has his real face in the game. However because I ran the script already, it overwrote his beautiful bald head with a young wippersnapper. How do we revert what we generated? I want to do it again but exclude him from the list.
The face pack worked fine apart from the fact it didn't apply to any of my players (my fault completely), but the NEWGAN manager app stopped opening completely. Others i asked on reddit had the same problem and none could find a solution so i have no idea what to do.
