Unfaking it half-assed

Gah, yepp I noticed the fake stuff too late and I really, really, don't want to restart my save right now.
I think I can live with the fake name on my star player since I've gotten used to it.
But...Is there a way of getting a profile pic into the game to the fake player names?
I tried both his real and his fake name with no luck.

If done correctly, the fake info should have worked.

Be sure you named the file correctly, formatted like: Forename_Surname_dd_mm_yyyy.jpg

From my experience it will only take pictures there from the start of the save and adding them after its already started is too late. I could be wrong though

No, player pics and most other graphics aswell (if not all) can be added mid game, anytime. I do it all the time with my save. If I sign a player who has no pic, I go google for one.

You can also go to myspace, grab photos of weird people and bang, your regens have a face!

Ah...to answer my own question here.
I could get the pic in to his fake name.
The only reason it didn't work in the first place was that his birthdate was wrong in the game!
It was a simple mix up with a 6 and a 9...
Bah.

Oh, btw..anyone know if you can get a pic of yourself in the game too?
I mean put a face into that GM spot.
No luck for me so far.

Do you mean like this?

You can put user gm picture in here:
EHM07/data/pictures/users (you have to create users folder)
Name picture like this:
firstname_surname ex. Mister_Leth
