[RELEASE] FACE COLLECTION V5 for FL25 (05-11-2024) - The FIRST and LAST FACEPACK for FL25
Hi everyone again,
Time has come to release the version 5 of our custom pack "Face Collection", a facepack that focuses on being an alternative to SmokePatch official one bringing the following:
- A lighter pack in size compared to SmokePatch official one (35GB vs 50GB)
- Better quality and more updated ones for a lot of players.
- Some faces that SP Facepack doesn't have.
- A huge rework to the Classic Player faces, with more quality and close to their prime.
- Bringing more than 400 new faces since the previous Face Collection V4 (which was designed for FL24)
This will be the last version of a facepack for FL25 and it won't get updated, as I will shift to focus on MegaPatch 3 as a goodbye letter to this game from the MegaPatch team and specially my side.
And nope, you don't need to restart any Master League or something. You can even disable them whenever you want.
-- WHAT DOES FACE COLLECTION V5 HAVE --
- Around 6500 faces, which include referee, managers, classic and active players
- Premier League, EFL Championship, Italy Serie A, LaLiga EA SPORTS and HyperMotion, Bundesliga, Brazilian Serie A and Ligue 1 are the most covered with faces.
- Faces for the most known European teams (like the ones playing European competitions) and at least top 3/4 for every league (Eredivise, Liga Portugal, Turkish Superlig, Greek SuperLeague, 2.Bundesliga, Liga Argentina, MLS...). Don't worry, you will see more faces than you expect!
- A lot of youngsters (under 21y) have a face, giving a new whole level of immersion signing and making them improve in Master League
- KONAMI managers have their faces substituted for: Hansi Flick, Arne Slot, Luis de la Fuente, Ruben Amorim, Unai Emery, Marcelo Gallardo, Andoni Iraola, Ange Postecoglou and two funny ones (Walter White and Lewis Hamilton).
-- WHAT IS BETTER, SMOKEPATCH FACEPACK OR THIS? --
It depends what are you looking: quantity or quality.
Want quantity and see almost every player in the game with a face and you don't care about them being good quality or updated? Go SmokePatch.
Want less faces, only for top football, updated and with high quality? Go Face Collection V5.
-- CAN WE USE BOTH FACEPACKS? --
Yes. SmokePatch facepack is installed via CPK files, which means the faces are coded into those files. Our face collection is installed via Sider, so it means you can delete any face knowing the ID of the player (you can download the database reference in SmokePatch website) or change them for another you found whenever you want.
If you have both at the same time it will take quite a huge disk space (51GB + 35GB = around 86GB) but you will see first our faces and then theirs, as Sider has priority over CPK. So the faces that we didn't include, will be SmokePatch ones.
-- I HAVE SMOKEPATCH FACEPACK BUT I WANT TO UNINSTALL IT. HOW CAN I DO IT? --
Download the following files and put them there like you did with the SmokePatch facepack:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SP Football Life 2025\download
Overwrite and you will have SmokePatch facepack uninstalled.
DOWNLOAD: UNINSTALL SMOKEPATCH FACEPACK
-- CAN IT BE USED IN FL24 OR OTHER VERSIONS LIKE PES 2021? --
Nope, as this was designed with the IDs of FL25. If you put this in other versions, you will have incorrect assignments and mixed faces in a lot of players.
-- SOME COMPARISONS OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PACKS --
- Left is SmokePatch facepack and old V4 Face Collection in some others. Right is actual V5 Collection.
- There are hundreds of improvements, these are just some examples.
-- HOW TO INSTALL --
- Just extract the three folders (Faces, Ref Faces and Classic Faces) into this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SP Football Life 2025\SiderAddons\livecpk\
- Then open your file Sider.ini with notepad and add the following lines:
cpk.root = ".\livecpk\Faces"
cpk.root = ".\livecpk\Classic Faces"
cpk.root = ".\livecpk\Ref Faces"
So your Sider.ini will look like this: SIDER WITH THE THREE FACE LINES
- Save and you're done. Remember to be sure that you're executing Sider to see the faces, or they won't work.
