TUTORIALS DESCRIBING HOW TO DO THIS CAN BE FOUND ELSEWHERE FOR NOW. I WILL UPLOAD ONE DURING THE WEEK.
DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT THE SCRIPT ITSELF, ASK KRYSLER76, HIS THREAD CAN BE FOUND HERE.
I've always despised the regen faces present in FM games, I hate them with a passion. Replacing them is generally the first thing I do on a new FM release. Last year, I've mostly just duplicated the regular facepack and randomly assigned it. However, I do like quickly being able to identify a regen simply by the face. So when I saw that EA did a damn fine job with their own regen faces on FIFA 21 this year, I created an automated process, ran it overnight, and got all these pretty little cutouts. And I figured I'd share them with you lot.
Krysler76's Script
This fantastic creator figured out a way to automate assigning regen faces based on ethnicity and hair colour! This facepack is designed to be used with his script, and are therefore pre-sorted. This also means there are duplicates here and there, depending. By clicking the link in this post, it will take you to a Mediafire folder with TWO files. The one called FIFA Regen Faces - SCRIPT SKIN TONE + HAIR COLOUR.zip is the one I recommend, and has full functionality with ethnicity and hair colour. The one called FIFA Regen Faces - SCRIPT SKIN TONE only sorts by ethnicity, should you want to only have that for some reason. So download them, and follow this link to instructions to use the script!
Also, a SUPER QUICK tutorial on how to make them work without the script. If this isn't enough, you'll have to be patient a little longer (see above), I won't answer questions about this in the comments.
1.) Find the face you want.
2.) Find the Unique ID of the player you want to have this face.
3.) Put the face in the "graphics" folder in your FM directory.
4.) Rename it the same as your Unique ID.
5.) Run fmXML.
6.) Reload skin in-game.
7.) Enjoy.
Examples! (I will update with FM21 screenshots soon)
Discussion: FIFA Regen Faces / Ready-to-use with Newgen Faces Script!

I may be being silly, but if I've downloaded the Fifa Regen faces, but before I go ahead and just extract them, where will I find the instructions for what to do with them once extracted? Is there a read-me within the zip file?
I've got the same problem... did you find a fix?
I have done exactly as the tutorial says and talked with the author of the script on Discord. He says that for some reason it only works on some Macbooks. I am on Macbook Pro and running macOS Big Sur. Wondering if anyone has found a fix?
@Sampiesto: In theory, I could, it's not much of a hassle. The thing is, I generated ~2200 individual faces in FIFA, and while most of them are unique, there are also some duplicates. This leads me to believe that I'm approached the upper limit of unique faces from the FIFA generator :-)
@Alexoo: Not quite. You have to run the script once in a while to replace the faces, usually I just do it once per season, but you can do it more often if you want. It won't 100% automatically do it as the season progresses, but once per season, with just a few button clicks, is better than manually doing every face :-)
Also thank you for working on improving the faces
Are you going to generate more faces in the future or was it to much of a hustle to do it?
FYI, the second link you provide above to the instructions on how to use the script is broken.
