Skins

[Pilgrim101]

I have downloaded the neue2 skin and put it into the correct folder (skins) but it isn't recognised in football manager 11. Help would be appreciated.

Please give details of path to skins folder

Have you closed and reopened FM11 just to check if it appears then?

1. Are you sure you've put it in the right folder?
2. Are you sure you've put it in the right folder?
3. Are you sure you've put it in the right folder?
4. Are you on something lame like a mac?

 

[Pilgrim101]

nope im on a compaq..
ok so it goes:
Oli\documents\sportsinteractive\footballmanager2011\skins.
I was told it doesnt have to go into a graphics folder?

mydocs/sportsinteractive/fm11/skins

make sure the reload cache on confrim is unticked as well....

 

[Lee]

Have you just put the .zip/.rar there or have you extracted it?

 

[Pilgrim101]

extracted it via winRAR.

 

[Raikan007]

have you actually chosen the skin from the drop down menu in preferences and loaded it?

 

[Pilgrim101]

That's the thing- it isn't there as an option.

 

[Raikan007]

then it is in the incorrect place mate... have you made a sub folder within the mydocs/sportsinteractivefm11/skins folder?

what exactly is inside the skins folder? take a screenshot....

 

[Pilgrim101]

I wish my laptop wasn't so bad and could do screenshots.
I have nothing inside the skins folder except for..
_MACOSX & neue2

 

[Lee]

You can delete that _MACOSX folder.

Anyway, are all of these files and folders present in the neue2 folder...

 

[Pilgrim101]

All 100% present.

 

[Raikan007]

well then I have no idea mate, sorry, use another skin

 

[Pilgrim101]

No worries pal
