[FM12][Guide] How to use the new ingame Skin Colour Chooser

[michaeltmurrayuk]

A new feature in FM2012 is the ability to edit various skin colours directly from within the game.

This option can be found under Preferences -> Skin Colours.

To change the colour select the colour you want to change and pick your new colour or enter the RGB values for your new colour (RGB values can be entered directly if you tick 'show advanced settings'. Once you have changed your colours click Confirm the skin will reload and will now use your new colours from now onwards.

For this option to work in Preferences -> Display & Sound you need to ensure 'Use Skin Cache' is ticked.

If you turn off the Skin Cache option then when you change skins or load up the game again the colours will reset to their default values.

A list of various examples for Custom Attributes can be found here:

may be a stupid question - but does this mean that you can't use the new skin colours and custom graphics together? (as you need to untick skin cache for custom graphics to show)

After you have added your custom graphics you can turn the skin cache back on, however you will need to reset up any custom skin colours.

Each time I change the colours then either reload the skin or start again they disappear. Can you help?

Try setting them before loading/setting up game, from main screen. It helped in my case.

I love this setting,

Reloading the skin will wipe the changes, if you want the changes to stay after you close the game you need to have the skin cache option turned on.
