How to install custom skins in FM 2022
Installing custom skins on Football Manager 2022 is a relatively straightforward experience. Here’s how to do it:
- Head to your FM 2022 fan site of choice. For custom skins, we recommend using FMScout.com.
- Browse around for the skin you want to install. This could range from a ‘night mode’ style, to skins that add player faces to the Tactics menu and pitch layout.
- Hit download, and wait for the file to load onto your PC.
- Next, you’ll need to copy the file and paste it into the following system location:
- Windows: C:Users\DocumentsSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2022skins
- Mac: /Users//Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022/skins/
- Now, it’s time to boot up Football Manager 2022.
- Click Preferences, and you’ll see the Skin menu under Interface. Click the drop-down menu, select your downloaded skin, and hit confirm.
With those steps completed, your skins will appear the next time you load your Football Manager 2022 save. Sometimes the process can take a little while, so we recommend closing and reopening the game if your skins aren’t immediately there. It’s also a good idea to clear your graphics cache, so no pesky bugs can prevent the skins from working.
These Football Manager 2022 skins won’t revolutionize any gameplay, but can provide a sleek new look to the game. There are dark mode options for managers who find their gaming time late at night, and brighter colours like pink, too. Equally, it’s worth mentioning that these are totally separate from player faces packs, which are also downloadable. These FM 2022 skins mainly impact the UI and little else, so your in-match experience will be broadly similar.
Equally, there a few other factors to bear in mind. As with all third-party software, these custom skin packs can have a few bugs and glitches included. While they likely won’t impact your save, they could prevent the skins from working. To remedy this, we recommend bookmarking the page of your chosen downloaded, so you can install any future updates.
