[FM21][SKIN] TCS 2021

[TCSSkin]

 

Yes im back... The most popular skin in Football Manager history returns once again! 

TCS returns once again, and it is better than ever.

A moving, dynamic background and the ever popular TCS header returns, this time it's modernized. Instead of being a full background, it is limited to just the outline to give the skin a clean finish.

TCS 2021 Skin Features

• New Player Overview Panel
• New Club Overview Panel
• New Tactics panel
• More "Dark Mode" consistency (Scouting, Inbox, Processing).
• New comparison screens
• New match ibh

Please note this skin is provided as is. It has nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won't be supported by them.

USAGE OF PANELS OR GRAPHICS FROM TCS 2021 IS PROHIBITED WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT FROM ME.

Spoiler

I won't be providing any support for this skin apart from major issues, don't request features as they will not be considered.

Is there an optimum or recommended zoom setting for this skin?

[Rivanov]

It looks stunning @bluestillidie00So glad you are back! My favorite skin of all time! 

Two questions:

- Can you bring back the Trophies on the Club Info screen --> Already fixed it myself!
- Can you bring back the Eligibility option in the top right corner of the Player Overview Screen topbar --> Already fixed it myself!

And in my Inbox I see small faces instead of the large faces on your screenshots.

I'm using the Cut Out Face Pack. Any idea?

 

 

[CM2]

Thank you thank you thank you.

I hoped I would never see this skin for fm21.

Playing FM with your skin is another much better experience.

Haha PM plz :P 

@bluestillidie00 Is there a option to add stats of the training and youth facilities on the club overview? 

[CM2]

I have a problem with the mask.
It doesn't save the changes I make to the player or team profile screen for me. I choose anything and everything perfect, but when I save and load the game, the default panels come out again and I have to change them again by hand.

 

**** solved. It was my pc's problem. I'm sorry. ****

Great skin. One problem. There is no list of player traits in development

[LucasBR]

Loved the skin, great work... Only thing I didn't llike was the moving background, is it possible to change it?

Thanks.

yeah it’s caused issues for some people. i’ll add it as an optional mod in the update 

[gargovich]

Thank you so so much for taking the time and effort, regardless of your warranted inhibitions, to do this for us my man. You would not believe how much more enjoyable it makes FM for me, and I'm sure the hundreds others who are thanking you on various social media right now.

 

I will probably hold on to this version of FM for a while longer, until I'm sure there will be a TCS skin for 2022 before making the jump.

 

Thanks again!!

 

P.S. : Love the message on the top right. Stay strong brother.

[EthanHunt]

Which stadium pack is good for this skin?

[BadAss88]

Thx a lot man! This makes FM greater!

Only thing I would love is to use the backgrounds like in de base transparancy skin, anyone?

[hyrule_king]

Amazing work.

[orlyzao]

I hadn't read the OP and just installed the skin and I was like this when I saw the dynamic background.

 

So cool. 

[john1]

Loving the background Good to see this skin back for FM21

Would you mind sharing the file on this tweak? Or nudge to where I can do it myself? Great Skin overall as usual @bluestillidie00!

[KUBI]

It really looks great, I like especially the fonts. 

What I'm missing i,s that there is only one picture frame in the club panel . It would be nice also displaying the city or alternative stadium/city one after the other.

[Abaddon879]

Anyone know if it would be possible to add instant results to this easily?

So it does... my mistake. Didn't notice it as I had been using the temporary BETA skin where it was in blue next to quick pick.

Thanks, mate- some other skins require zoom to be down below 100, so that suits my old eyes fine- thanks for the work on this- the skin is very nice.

Played one match last night with it and the Dugout panel in the match screen was missing- is that intentional ( I was playing at 85% zoom)

TCS 21 - Skin Mod #1 - Static Background

I've been informed that the dynamic background unfortunately causes issues for some people as it can strain their eyes and the like. The following mod disables that. I've added two versions, one with the colours completely removed and one with the colours, just static.

  

Installation Instructions:

1. Download the file you want. Make sure it is named client object browser.xml.
2. Go to "Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\TCS '21 v1.0\panels"
3. Delete the current client_object browser, and replace it with your new one that you just downloaded.
4. Open the preferences, clear the cache and reload your skin.

The Dugout is now available in the dropdown menus, under the name feed. Should probably get that renamed

[被猫车的Archer]

How can i have the Eligibility option in the top right corner of the Player Overview.....

 

please......@bluestillidie00

you’ll need a higher resolution or zoom out 

[LC15]

Out of curiosity are you planning on a light skin for this too? 

Used the TCS skins in 19 & 20 and really liked them but find the default skins a bit harder on the eyes. 

Thanks for your great work

[giglet13]

Don't know if it's a bug but 'Hall of Fame' dropdown shows nothing for any teams? - Is this meant to be where Trophy pack images would show?

if a light base skin is released, then yeah. if not then it’s not likely, as the demand doesn’t equal the amount and time and effort for the work. For instance TCS last year got nearly 150k downloads while the light version got 7k.

It should display the legends, icons and favourite personal. meant to remove that in all honesty

Ah right - if  you are doing any updates would be great if the option for the Trophy packs was there - honestly only thing missing for me from that Club Overview screen. Love the summary box with Manager stats in

That's completely fair enough and kinda what I expected. Hopefully SI do take note of the people who want that variation and release an official one but it seems unlikely. 

Thanks for the answer. 

[okereke]

Is there an easy/simple way of hiding the attributes in the player profiles/pop-ups? I'd love to play with them off to add some realism to the game but so far I have not been lucky in finding the code or changing it... Thanks!

[mibsweden]

Is there a way to support your work? Stunning stuff.

[lembergman]

how to change this to black?

Спойлер

 

[craiigman]

I installed the static panel as it seemed a little unresponsive/jittery and I thought it was that, but it seems that the mouse icon changing is the issue:

Anyone else getting this? I'm on a Mac if that makes any difference.

edit: I have gone back to default and seems like default isn't perfect either, but does seem a little worse while using the skin, hence why I noticed it I guess.

That's brilliant!!! Thanks for your work man!!

[Noscho]

thanks for your magnificent effort, not just for this year but for previous versions also. works great at 4k resolution btw.

just two nitpicks / requests:

- i love the idea of dynamic background, only problem is if the club foreground color is darkish (e.g. spurs, leeds etc) it blends with the dark background on the bottom and gets kinda invisible. i know that it's not a technical problem, just wanted to share.

- are you thinking of any mods on integrating club/league/nation etc colors on the full titlebar?

again, thanks for your work and thanks for making the game truly playable every year.

 

[Mr Hough]

@bluestillidie00 is there any chance at all that either you can do it or give me/us the instructions to make the Backgrounds Transparent so i/we can use Background Images with your Skin.

 

Thankyou for your help.

Yeah sorted. I'll be messing about with it between now and release so the boxes will probs be gone.

Try taking the file from Dani Dots's realism mod. Not 100% sure tho.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Add the code below to your settings.xml, change the RGB code to what you want.

 <colour name="result_background" value="rgb(95,144,222)"/>

Yeah its known mate, it's not ideal. I'll probs disable it for v1.1 but with the option to reenable it as its causing some issues anyway.

[Matorko]

Great job as always. Is there a workaround to get club colors back in titlebar? I've tried something, but failed miserably.

You can try this, haven't used it myself though.

[Craig_R.U.F.C]

So glad this skins back! Some nice ones out there but nothing compares to this one in my opinion. Downloaded the header colours mod above & so far working with no issues.

Thanks again for a brilliant skin!
