Beautiful FM23 skin made by Mr Hough, the Mashup.

Beautiful FM23 skin made by Mr Hough, the Mashup.

This is a carbon copy of the Skin that SI member Mr Hough made and used in FM22 which was a mashup between the TSC and OPZ Elite Skins. It was just updated to FM23. Credit to Both TSC and OPZ Elite for their hard work and inspiration. You can find the original thread for this skin here.

I absolutely love this Skin, and it gives me personally everything I want to see in the game clearly which when you're looking at a computer screen for long periods of time, you want it to be nice clean and attractive, which I think this skin is.

FM23 Mashup Skin Includes

• Background Images Friendly.
• Custom Transparency so you can choose how light/dark you want your Background images to be
• Instant Result Button.
• Supports a Range of Resolutions.
• Player Faces on Tactics Screens.

Skin Installation Instructions

After you have downloaded a file, it will generally come in one of three formats:

• zip 
• rar
• 7z 

Zip files should be automatically supported by your OS and may show up as compressed folders; Rar and 7z files may require you to download some software to extract the files. 

The below software is recommended:

• Windows users - WinRar (Choose the most recent .exe file)

WinRar is installed using the .exe you download, following the instructions on-screen. Download the top option from the downloads page. 

• macOS users - The Unarchiver

To install The Unarchiver, simply double-click on the .zip file you download from their website, then drag the program it extracts (called 'The Unarchiver') into your apps folder.

Once you've installed the extracting software on your operating system, create a new folder and place your downloaded skin rar in it.

1. Extract the skin files as follows:

• Windows - Right-click on your rar. Choose WinRar from the menu, then select 'Extract Here'.

• macOS X - Right-click (or ctrl + click) on your zip, rar or 7z. Choose 'open with', then select 'The Unarchiver'.

2. Locating Your User Data Location

Once you have downloaded and extracted your files, move them over to your 'user data location' so the game can read them.

The default location of your 'user data location' will be slightly different depending on the OS you are using;

• Windows users - C:\Users\\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\skins

• Mac OS X users - /Users//Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2023/skins

Now open up your skins folder and place the folder you extracted inside it.

*if this folder doesn't exist, just create a new folder and call it 'skins'.

3. Displaying Skins In-Game

To select the skin in-game, load Football Manager 2023 and go into;

• Preferences > Advanced > Interface
• In this panel, you'll find an option called 'Skin' with a drop-down menu next to it. 

Select the drop-down menu to view your installed skins, then select and confirm.

If the skin is not showing in the game

If the skin you want isn't showing, then go to;

• Preferences > Advanced > Interface

Scroll down the interface page to Skin instructions; here, you must;

• untick 'Use caching to decrease page loading times' 
• tick 'Reload skin when confirming changes in preferences' 
• then select confirm

When you re-enter the preferences menu, it should have refreshed the list of skins to show your skin in the above list.

Once the skin is loaded, you can turn the skin cache back on and un-tick the 'always reload' button.

• INFO
• Skins will only work on the version of the game they are designed for (so FM 23 skins will only work with FM 2023 and not older versions of the game, nor newer ones), and Touch and Full Mode skins aren't compatible, so if you are using the Touch version, you will only be able to use Touch skins.
