NEW VIDEO!

The newgen faces in FM23 are... not great. So I've been updated mine in my Almeria DOF save by generating new ones using AI and midjourney. Today's video tutorial shows you how I've been doing this and how to add them to your game.

1. Ensure you can see Player IDs in game preferences
2. Generate the player face on midjourney. My prompt:
"85mm DSLR colour photography of a very detailed headshot fitting all of head and hair in frame. [age] year old [nationality] soccer player, with [hair colour] hair and [facial hair or other features] with a small smile, grey background"
4. Save as a PNG as the Player ID (e.g. 200232323) in Football Manager 2023 - Graphics Folder - Faces
5. Update config file / use FMXML to update config file
6. Clear cache in game and reload skin in preferences

Also - I've been putting all of the player faces that I have generated on my patreon if you want to use any of them yourselves <3

God I wish someone would make a newgan manager facepack full of midjourney faces

[ShinySwalot]

While this doesn't seem difficult, and is really cool, I can't see myself really using this in my own saves, mostly because doing this for all the players would likely take a long long time

Hopefully FM gets a better way of generating inside the game...

[BigKinger]

I never thought of using Midjourney for Regens. A great idea.

[FifaAdddict]

Alternatives for midjourney: Playground ai, openart ai, dream ai, and dall e 2

Just want to say, thanks Clayts. This is a brill video and I’ve now got my top 4 youth players with real faces. I thought it would be super hard to do, but it’s so easy, and the free sites are so good.

[RideOfPablo]

really cool, except midjourney doesn't have a free option :(

[Draddar]

Hot take, I kind of like terrible faces because I can quickly see who is a newgen 😂 Ideally they could use some other visual to signal that and actually make proper faces.

[YoursTrulyFM]

Thank you so much I'm been struggling with this for so long and finally comes along and saves me.

[MediaViewing]

Maybe FM will incorporate something like this in the future. If it'd then be able to take the information from the player such as age etc we may get dynamically changing portraits as the players age.

Spent the last 2 hours trying to work this out and your video saved me thanks!

[joshuagebauer]

My man you are a legend this is so much easier than other ways ive seen online, and you get more of a choice this way too! unreal!

[prtibeegee]

this is such a game changer, my favorite FM tuber :D !

[tzviwli]

I might be a bit addicted to doing this now… it’s actually becoming more fun than playing the game 🙈🤣

[PaulCharming]

Love the idea, but I wish there was a way to apply this to every newgen players in my save 😂

[leroypalmer]

Spent last night watching this and looking at my newgens and thinking, they need some tlc. Followed your steps and it's awesome, did take a little while but worth it as for the midjourney creation and bringing them to life!!

[Taylertheimpaler]

Hey brother, thanks for this video! Just spent the last 4 hours updating my entire squad as I’m 8-9 seasons into an 1860 Munich save with a whole roster of Newgens. So satisfying once it’s all completed. Appreciate all your hard work! Really enjoyed to DOF save too!

[oisinsej]

Is there a reason I’m not getting the config file? It comes up as the face in file but I don’t have the face in game. I’ve followed every step

[zerotohero]

I'm a year late, but thanks a million! This really helped me get my RC Celta youth academy players some faces and it really improves the imersion of the game.

[Kawamoto]

Thats so helpfull Clayts! Thx for the tip ❤
