Welcome to what will over the coming hours/days/months hopefully become a compressive list of all the skins available for Football Manager 2009. If you want your skin adding please scroll down to the end of this post for details.

List of Skins: (Ordered by date of approval)

Installation Instructions

When you have downloaded one of the above skins you need to follow the below steps to get it into your game (plus any other steps specific to that skin from its post):

First if the skin is a zip/rar file you will need to extract the file (instructions on how to unzip a file can be found here)

If its an fmf file you do not need to extract it.

Next you need to copy the folder you extracted or the fmf file into your skins folder this is by default (you may need to create the skins folder if it doesn’t already exist):

Win Vista: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\skins

Win 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\skins

Win 98/ME: C:\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\skins

Mac OS X: /Users/<username>/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009/skins

If you cannot find your user data folder, you can find the location of it from within FM09, load the game go into the preferences menu and at the bottom will be a section called User Data Folder, this will list the current location and will also allow you to change it or set it back to the default location:

If the skin came as an fmf file you just need to put the fmf file into the skins folder, if you extracted the skin from a zip/rar file you need to ensure you didn’t add an extra folder to the layout, when you copy the folder for your skin into the skins folder and go into the folder for your skin it should look something like this:

In the above example you will note that within the skins folder is a folder called netbook09, and when you open the netbook09 folder you see three more folders and a xml file called netbook09 – if your skins folder looks like this (with the skin_name.xml file inside one skin_name folder) then you have installed the skin correctly.

To select the skin in game you will need to load the game, and go into the preferences -> Display and Sound menu and untick ‘Use Skin Cache’ and tick ‘Always Reload Skin On Confirm’ then select confirm and select the skin from the drop down menu, select confirm again and your new skin should now display. (Once the skin is loaded you can turn the skin cache back on and untick the Always Reload button.)

Please note the above skins are provided as is, and links to third party sites are out of our control, whilst we will do our best to check the links, you are advised as always to run a virus scan on any file downloaded from the internet. They are nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won't be supported by them.

Skin Name: Revolution Skin

Screenshots:

Author: jakubkwa

Game Version: 9.0.0 or above

Description: Design of this skin was inspired by the layout of CM Revolution. Many elements are taken directly from the site and it is easy to see the resemblance to our typical colours - dominating grey tone with blue and green insertions. The skin has also got a few more additions, such as a new view on the squad screen, showing player attributes in the opposition instructions, or 2D kits instead of the 3D ones in the info about the team.

Install Info: The downloaded archive should be extracted into the skins folder, which is to be found in the user data folder (if you don't know where to find yours, check it in the game: Preferences/Overall). By default it is the Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009 folder in My Documents. The pack contains two versions of the skin - LHS and RHS - but in order for the second one to work it is necessary to have the first one too.
