also recommendable would be for someone which knows the answer to give it if writting a few words isn't too upseting.

Many people have already written and shared how they fixed the issues. Or in Fidel's case, wrote pages of info on exactly what people have to do to get his mods working. If all that isn't enough, how much more can people help?

I've been happy to help when I can, and I have said little before this. But when I see people coming onto these threads, saying the tools are broken and the mods are useless, well that to me is ridiculous, and something needs to be said. It's one thing to simply ask for help. It's another thing entirely to trash the tools and state that the mods are useless, and in the process invalidate all the hard work Galaxyman, Fidel and others have been doing for our benefit.

That is unfortunate, I currently have full bundle and legacy support and can mod just about anything.
I have edited every unlicensed logo in the game for all leagues, teams and tournaments in the legacy structure.
I have modified a lot of the bundle files from ebx to dds.
The tool coming is the tool to use, no disrespect to Galaxyman and I'm not taking anything away from his tool but I feel shawminator's will be the go to tool for FIFA.

This is an amazing news about shawminator's tool...and waiting for.

Anyway, like as bangus said, is there also a very big problem because almost all Frosty users (especially new) they do not have the necessary basics and patience to read and understand how some things work.
Now to make perfectly working Frosty tool is required a perfect Windows pc with some suggested requirements.

Finally, for me Frosty is perfectly working and I never seen a crash or an issue, probably because I know what and how to do.

Fidel, you make elite and unique work.
Too bad mod manager does not work for me yet, waiting for update.
Is there any chance you release a few mods in project. format?

Your issue is related to your Win 10 or try to change the fifa main folder installation inside a secondary backup partition like E: \FIFA18 , I think is possible via Origin. Never delete the folder because otherwise you must re download again.
The first thing you need to do is to backup in an usb/hdd/etc the actual \FIFA 18 folder
make a little partition in your hdd and install Win 7 Pro 64 Bit, etc... install Origin and set pointing to the Origin game/fifa 18 folder in the primary partition if you haven't much free space (Win 10), in this way Frosty Suite will work perfectly (but no dx12 when you start modded game because in Win7), some friends solved all issues.
But the best is to have two game copies:
At pc start-up you can see the new boot options with win 10 and win 7.
You can start the pc from Win 10 to play online games, clean 18 game in as example C: \FIFA18
or start from win 7 to enjoy the offline modded game in E: \FIFA18 (in my pc is E: \MOD\FIFA18)
Close your one drive synch and tray icon, disable/kill or uninstall completely with any good win 10 tweaker in the net or check services.msc and msconfig to disable stupid apps (one drive app cause issues when bcrypt.dll load, not ever but is possible) because I've already shared in the mdw forum that the .net framework is common shared for other third apps and cause issues.
Disable any Windows 10 feedback sync, yes always enabled, but you probably never seen or never heard.
Check and follow my tips in com web site, click Frosty tab.
Beleave me solve your issue to dream.
EDIT: before you follow all steps update your game to update 3 if not already.

I've updated frosty pack info with up 3 required text.

Well, it's easy to say that users should see for themselves how it works for them.
The problem is, but I create a mod and only 10% will use it, with the other ModManager does not work.
Then the question arises whether it's worthwhile to create a mod if almost no one can use it.
It's also wrong to say that all those who do not work have a cracked version, there will only be a few.
I also have problems with the tools, the ModManager does not work.
So far, I have not had time to work for it because I'm working on my own mods.
Also, I would be glad if I could find a good solution to the problem, a solution that helps everyone.
I have not found any yet.

Fidel, you're the best, no empty words, just straight to the point and always helpfull.

I will try to help those who are having problems with Frosty Mod Manager.

For those who can't even create the ModData folder and receive an error message (or a screen with several error messages):

Before we begin: You must have ORIGINAL FIFA. Otherwise this won't work.
This isn't just because we don't support piracy: IT'S BECAUSE IT REALLY WON'T WORK WITH A PIRATE VERSION! You must have original FIFA and up-to-date (Update 3).


Now, close Origin.

1- Download FrostyModManager from here: https://github.com/GalaxyEham/Frost...v1.0.3alpha/FrostyModManager_v1.0.3alpha4.rar extract the zip somewhere, the right click on FrostModManager's EXE, go to propiertes, then the Compatibility tab and tick the box "Run this program as an Administrator". Apply and save.

2- Make sure you are indeed running FrostyModManager (from now on "FMM") with Admin privileges.

3- Second, download and install the "TAKE OWNERSHIP" fix for Windows 10 from here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3841-add-take-ownership-context-menu-windows-10-a.html

4- Go to your Origin Games folder, right click on the FIFA 18 folder and select "TAKE OWNERSHIP" from the contextual menu.

5- Again, right click on the FIFA 18 folder, go to propierties, and untick the box that says "Read only".

6- Finally run FMM for the first time, select FIFA 18.exe, load Fidel's mods and then double-click on each to import them.

7- Now, check if there's a folder called "ModData" in the FIFA 18 root folder. If there isn't, then close FMM, and then please delete the file rename the file "bycrpt.dll" inside yor FIFA 18 ROOT folder to something else like "bycpt.dll.old". Now run FMM again, delete all the mods you had imported, and load them again, then double click on each of them to import them.

If the ModData still isn't getting created, close FMM again, try to replace (FIRST MAKE A BACK UP) of the file called "inits_win" inside FIFA 18/Patch folder with the one provided by FIDEL in many of his recent mods (you can check that and download it from the first page of this very same tread). Get that file and copy/paste it inside FIFA 18/patch folder, don't forget to backup the original one. Now open FMM and repeat Step 6. Again, once you load and import (by double clicking on each .fbmod file provided by Fidel) check if the folder "ModData" has been created in your main FIFA 18 folder.


If you've successfully been able to import the mods (that happens when the ModData has been created by FrostyModManager), then:

8- Open Origin, login, and the click on the Launch button FROM FrostyModManager (VERY IMPORTANT!). If you launch FIFA 18 from Origin, you'll be playing vanilla game with no mods at all. YOU MUST LAUNCH IT FROM FROSTY MOD MANAGER.


Final advice: Make sure you have .NET Framework, Visual, and the rest of the libraries. You can download them from the first page of this very same thread, in the first post by Fidel.

Also I would definetely recommend to disable any sort of Windows protections like UAC, BitDefender, SmartScreen completely. Most of this so called "security" software that come bundled with Windows only put obstacles in your way when trying to mod games, because usually the system detects something is trying to write memory addresses or change registry or whatever.


I hope this helps.

Guys, I cannot believe this, but it is working now.
Thanks to the huge work of Fidel and Federico Debla, which had the clear head needed to find the steps to make this work, now it really works. (no need anymore to destroy my keyboard or monitor in frustration).
Just followed the steps from Federico and copyed the files from the folder with the addaptive difficulty disabled from Fidel and...voila!!!
The game launches and works!
See Bangus, just a little bit of effort in a positive way and all is resolved, just criticising people who you think aren't persistent enough it is not the way.
It just took a moment of inspiration.

Please to everyone make working the bcrypt and FMM because are now required to enjoy the new AGPE Module:
this is the structure of new module and require FMM is order to launch game and make the full gp working 100% in the game without surprices (I'll share via pm today at availables beta testers):


Prepare you game like VinCeK in order to dream:
If you play this addon module on both with:
- FIFA 18 REVOLUTION FULL EDIT PLAYER IN CARRER MODE *
- MAIN DATABASE UNLOCK MOD 0.2 **
- EXTREME ULTRA HIGH PLAYER LOD SETTINGS
- AGPE AI iMM 1.4 beta2
- COMXXX003 rosters

....the game will be very impressive beleave me. Defences has been globally improved like an insormontable castle but realistic.
I like the game now, it's very hard to beat the cpu but the best is: you can always see impressive cpuai fouls.
Artificial intelligence has been improved and the career is now very difficulty in the pitch.

One of my gp module career testing (adidas condivo is human controlled as usual):

now match stats are very different than last pics already shared in my thread????
Is there also a bug in number tackles not properly displayed.
Beleave me, yesterday I lost the game but I was happy though.
New improvement change the game by improving players styles/traits (stored in the db) and now are very visibles in the pitch.
Finally cpuai players stop and pace with ball, cpuai pressing system is very organized in the pitch. The cpu when red card appears,
will re-organize very well the defence anc create a sort of barrier, very impressed. ...but they surprised me with an awesome score in conterattack. Very beauty to see. The new mod require to adjust a bit cpuai pass error slider.

For example if you play the default vanilla gp and set half time to 10 min the total match duration is 21/22 min.
If you play my gp mods and now the full pack the match duration will be 29 minutes and sometimes over than 30 minutes (regular time match) because all cinematics during fouls, corner, reactions cams, ref cinematics, etc, gk with ball waiting, etc....
This another way to check the gp mod quality or soccer game quality (generalized).

You can see more fouls like these:
https://streamable.com/7r4vk

This is an optional gp module and some will love and some will not love.
But now the important thing is that you can choose and then another alternative gp version will be available for every gp taste.

I'm glad I could help =)

Fidel, can you please answer my previous question?
How can I edit player Body Types? When I go to Edit Player in Career Mode I can't change this part:

Yeah Fidel, I get you. I do not acuse Bangus of anything, I said he has a large knowledge about the game, above many users, and not everyone can be the same.
Anyway, that belongs to the past now.
I really hope Andreasmax makes this works too, I can't wai to play Bundesliga with his patch.
Federico, for bodytipes in this moment cheatengine from Aranaktu works ok.

Don't project and deflect your stuff on me. You're the one who went all hyper-negative and wrote on this thread that the tools and mods were useless. I already stated I was responding to your comments specifically. See qasar? Just a little bit of honesty and accountability, and then no blaming others for something you yourself created.

Glad your game is working finally.

....atm isn't possible edit player's body type. Enjoy other working features.

If undefined also in my mod's pic, means about a not working feature in the mod.

Believe me, Bangus, I know and see your knowledge helped a lot of people, me included with much staff that I did understood from your posts and this mod manager troubled me for over a week, not suddenly jumped at acusations. And I'm sorry if I maybe spelled in wrong words something that applied only to me, not in general.
You know, I really work on the game, database, ini's, grapfics for many years, I'm not just a consumer of free mods without giving something in return.
I hope you have no grudge against me since I will still need some advice for sure in the future.

still the same error with the Mod Manager:

hello Fidel can you say when I launched the CM 18 tool (16)?

Just have a new update for fifa, and frosty mod doesn't launch the game anymore now. I have the same mess as Andreasmax now.
May be i have to reinstall all mods?

IF THERE OUT OR COME OUT A GAME TITLE UPDATE 4 - PLEASE DON'T UPDATE YOUR GAME.
Beleave me and wait for informations.
Disable auto game update in Origin settings. Already shared.

It´s true what Fidel says. Do not update your game.
Frosty stopped working.
I guess this will be the main problem. With every update we will face stuff like this.
