Zealand, Samaroy, Gestalt, HRiddick, Krysler76, Ayal and the mod team have trained an AI program to generate real faces that just aren't actually real. Then we all built a UI that helps you install them into your Football Manager save in an ethnically-accurate way.

*IF YOU ARE UPDATING TO A NEW VERSION SKIP TO THE BOTTOM*

It is as cool as it sounds. Real faces of people whose rights aren't being violated, because they aren't real, but they bring your regens to life in a completely accurate way. Watch the video to learn how to install, enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download

You need two things:
1) the application
2) the actual pack of 100k faces

They are downloaded separately. They can both be found at the link in the top right.

The application is listed under assets at the bottom of the page. Download the Windows one if you are on Windows, download the MAC one if you are on MAC.

It is recommended to download the facepack (under facepack at that link) as a torrent and use a torrent downloader to achieve the best download speeds. If this isn't an option for you, you can download it via our slightly slower mirrors (listed at the bottom of this page).

You NEED the larger file as it is the complete facepack. The smaller file under 'Facepacks' is an update that you can download and drag over the original file to get even more faces, you do not need it.

UPDATING YOUR APP HERE

If you want to update your application to get the best we have to offer (improved accuracy on face ethnicity and improved functionality), you can now do this WITHOUT losing the faces you already have!

A video is coming shortly to walk you through it, but here is a written guide on how to update:
1) go to %localappdata% in file explorer
2) click program > NewGAN-Manager > app > newganmanager > .user
3) find the XML and JSON file for the profile you're using on your save, YOU NEED BOTH, YOU CAN DO MULTIPLE PROFILES
4) copy and paste them to a different location outside of the Newgan file system (ie documents, desktop etc)
5) copy and paste the 'cfg' file to the same location so you have all of them together (this is what tells the new app what to do with the new profile)
6) then delete all Newgan files and download the new UI
7) YOU DO NOT NEED A NEW FACEPACK, JUST A NEW APPLICATION, IT IS A VERY SMALL DOWNLOAD AND WON'T TAKE LONG, IF IT DOES YOU'RE DOWNLOADING THE WRONG THING
8) All caps are there for emphasis, then you just need to have fun with a better app

(this guide is Windows only, you can do it on MAC but you need to find the XML and JSON files to do it)

Great mod, but is it no longer working with 24.2 december update?
Help, regens with Kosovo as first nationality doesn't get mapped
Great pack, super easy to apply to the game. However, I had one question in regard to how the AI chooses ethnicity for the image chosen. I have this one intake that has an Asian name origin, but was born in Wales, is Welsh and has no connection to any Asian country in his bio, personal details. Which makes the image generated always a Caucasian. I was curious is there a way I can ensure an Asian image is generated for individuals? ie a personal detail or backend edit I can make so the newgan AI generator gives this particular player an Asian ethnic image?
I keep getting the message The application “NewGAN-Manager” can’t be opened. on my Mac even when I'm following the video guide and allowing permissions, any guidance or help would be welcome as this pack/app looks just incredible, see it in the dorfers save and its brilliant.
Great pack, I love it. Only issue I have run into, is after a couple of seasons the preserve setting doesn't mod all Newgen faces. But apart from that, this pack is amazing!
Great tool, love it. However I recently ran into an error where I got an invalid RTF file and when I look in the RTF file that columns that should contain nationalitys are empty. I double checked that I had the right view and all the right columns are in the file but the nationalities are just empty for some reason.
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.
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.

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
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
