FM21 Backgrounds: Nations Pack

stevemc · November 25, 2020

Hi all,

I’ve been working on a number of background projects, this one is adding national flags to the background of nations throughout the game from all over the world, I’ve been doing this for my own personal use, but decided to share with the community, something I've built up over 2-3 years now.

All are 2560x1600 at 227px, which is basically MacBook Pro Retina size, so the quality is superb in most instances. They have been compressed to their smallest file size possible without loss of quality. It covers every nation in the world (278Mb in file size).

Steps to add to your game;

1. Download here

2. Unzip and place here: ‎⁨

[PC] Documents⁩ ▸ ⁨Sports Interactive⁩ ▸ ⁨Football Manager 2021 ▸ ⁨graphics⁩ ▸ ⁨backgrounds⁩ ▸ ⁨nation

[MAC] Users ▸ YOURNAME ▸Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2021 ▸ graphics ▸ backgrounds ▸ nation

3. Go to preferences (advanced and select interface) and ensure "Reload Skin" is ticked (you may need to clear your cache too) and click "confirm".

Please note: For these to work you'll need to use a custom or Base Skin with a transparency that supports backgrounds.

I have set one up here, but all credit is Michaeltmurrayuk: http://www.mediafire.com/file/qj7ebhz2eu067k4/base21_dark20_tr.zip/file

If you are going to redistribute these, please ask permission.

Enjoy...
