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.
