Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, I've created folders for graphics, facepacks, logos and skins. The facepacks and logos are working fine, but when I put the skins in the skins folder, it doesn't work I go to preferences and I can't change the skin - see screenie. Anyone got any ideas?
 
Having the same problem, was hoping Stu would know tbh :(.

You got facepacks and logos working as well?

What skin is it?
If you see the screenshots I've put two skins in the folder, RD4 and Sparks Master, and neither come up, when selecting skins.

I'm not downloading logos this year, but I have a DF11 megapack working which is why it's slightly confusing and frustrating :(.
 
StuW was telling me that the Skins have been made with one folder too many..
Remove any folders from the first folder and put them into 'skins' (eg you sparks master 11, double click on that folder, anything in that folder needs to be taken out and placed into 'skins'

this worked for me as i was having problems too

Bit confused, so I just basically copy all the stuff inside Sparks Master, then delete the folder. And just paste the stuff in the skins folder?

i had the same problem and PM'd StuW about it and this was the solution - might not be for every skin but i've only downloaded two and had to do it with both to get them to work
 
Is the directory for the skin like this one -

MAIN SKIN FOLDER->(GRAPHICS, PANELS, SETTINGS) & Config with the same name of the skin.

Or, is it like this -

RD4/Skinxyz-> RD4/Skinxyz -> (GRAPHICS< PANELS, SETTINGS) & config
 
Right target:Mac OS X: /Users/<username>/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2011/

PLEASE DO NOT PUT GRAPHICS INTO ANY OF THE INSTALL LOCATION FOLDERS. IT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS.

C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011 - NO NOT THERE!
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\football manager 2011 - NO NOT THERE EITHER!
/Users/<username>/Applications/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2011/ - DON'T DO IT MAC USERS!
 
Once i get round to it, I will upload Skins properly to FM-Base, so the folders will be right.
