Sas24 - Download Options

The download link will take you to a mediafire folder that will always contain the newest versions of the skin. Then it's just a case of finding the exact skin that you want.

There are 4 different options: of Sas2025Final
  • Sas2025Final.fmf - The main skin
  • Sas2025Final-Background (background selector)
  • Sas2025Final-Hidden.fmf - With Show hidden attributes button
  • Sas2025Final-Hidden-Background.fmf (hidden attributes with background selector)
  • Sas2025Final Readme

There are 4 different options: of Sas24
  • Sas24.March.2.fmf - the main skin
  • Sas24.Mar.2-hidden.fmf - hidden attributes
  • Sas24.Mar.2-laptop.fmf - version optimized for laptops
  • Sas24.Mar.2-laptop-hidden.fmf - same as above for laptops

There is also added zip packed files of the skin for easy access - see the FAQ in the download folder.

The last 2 will only function properly if you have the in-game editor switched on in your save.

Screen Resolution

Desktop version is optimized for 1920x1080 at 100% - 95% is preferred.
You can use higher / lower resolution / zoom, but expect some wonky stuff here and there (can't make everyone happy) :)
Laptop version is optimized for 1366x768 at 85% zoom.
If you have a "big" laptop or an external screen - you may benefit from using the Desktop version, try both so see which one that looks the best - they are 99% the same.

How to install the Sas24 skin on FM24

1. Download the skin version you prefer. Your download options are explained above.

Move the downloaded .fmf file to your skins folder.:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\skins\

Run Football Manager 2024 and go to Preferences > Interface.
You should see "Sas24” as an option in the skin drop-down of the General options section.
Hit the Confirm button.

The skin is as seen, and may or may not have further updates.

Sas24 FAQ

Why do I see a background picture over the whole skin, and I haven't used the background selector.
You have a background picture folder in your graphics folder, if you move that folder outside the graphics folder, clear the cache and reload the skin. It will be gone.

My panels keep resetting.
Go into preferences and untick "automatically overrite custom panels" and Untick "use caching to decrease loading time" aswell
- Clear the cache - bottom left "reset" dropdown - Reload the skin
- Set your panels, continue a day, save your game, close and restart FM - It seems to be a issue in the default skin aswell for some.

The % isn't showing.
Go to preferences - untick "use caches files" then clear the cache (bottom left "reset dropdown"), pick skin, reload skin, restart game and the % will return. Changing skin may cause it to vanish then just redo the above.

Half of the tactic pitch is overlapping.
Use a higher zoom (lower numbers % = higher zoom) or use the laptop version - it's the resolution of your monitor that causes it as I've changed the pitch size.

For more questions and answers, refer to the dedicated SAS24 FAQ .txt file.

    @Phildw - it's a game issue, often you just see a grey screen with a please wait text
  • Phildw's avatar
    not sure if its a skin problem or an FM24 problem but when the match ends in 3D view it seems to take ages before it switches to the to the next screen? Sometimes the players walk off the pitch after the final whistle and you can see them 'jumble up' in the tunnel entrance - its quite funny! Other times it completes and switches to the next screen quite quickly after the final whistle.

    AS A LITTLE INFO:

    The issue where the match would freeze until after 1st highlight HAS been fixed and will be updated in the January 1st update

    Took me long enough to finally experience the issue myself to be able to fix it.

    @Corly - you'll have to edit the files in the option folder and set it as what you want - sadly all the background selectors i tried was unable to save the settings

    @sasmaz how can I fix opacity ? each time I reload the skin it come back to 30%.
    thank you
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @reddich There is only 1 option for sorting and thats in preferences for english sorting, rest is done by SI - There is a general sorting issue in the game which have some screen sort in one way and others in another (for non english languages)
  • reddich's avatar
    I it possible to change sorting of attributes in the scouting meeting? Which file I have to edit? I play with the german language.
  • MicroGR's avatar
    Is there any way to have the UEFA's scoreboards on their respective competitions instead of the skin's one?Just a personal preference,for some extra realism
  • Corly's avatar
    @eva00r @sasmaz can you tell me which file to modifiy to lock the background opacity and which line in particular ?
    I found there was widgets in options_panel.xml (under panel > option) but I don't really know how to lock the value.
    thank you
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @Arvid04 - i am on secound yellow cards discord i have 2 channels there
    you can find it in the description of any of his video's

    @sasmaz, thank you very much for your answer. Now everything is perfect for me (best skin ever!).
    Can you make your Discord account available to me? - Thx.
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @eva00r you have to set it in the fine diretly (one of the options folder files) can't remember which on top of my head.
    and if you have a 90% with graphics, i can't see why not.
  • eva00r's avatar
    @sasmaz Hi, how to lock background opacity to 80% without the need to set it again every time I start the game? and could it be 90%?
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @TottenCheese - sry m8, can't do it as i like this better and i would never make something i didnt like myself :)
  • TottenCheese's avatar
    Please make it so it's the actual official UCL, UEL, UECL scoreboard and graphics in the european matches please..
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @Arvid04 - if you click the "substitute" button just above the right side(views) it will make the subs appear :)

    and glad you found the problem and yes as i said, there might be few places where the translation isnt working for various reasons.
  • Arvid04's avatar
    @sasmaz, thank you very much for your message. I have checked again and found my error: The Skin is to be listed under "all" and "interface": everything is now O.K. except for individual headings (Career Stats, Other Information, Career Archievements...) ;)
    A little advice: Under "Tactic" it would be good if the substitutes were entered on the green field on the right. After all, they are also in the stadium. :)
  • sasmaz's avatar
    Arvid04 - the skin translates fine into german, if that was not the case i would have the german users on the discord being all over me. so something at your end must be wrong.. there might be 1 or 2 texts where i have had to remove the default translation code there either wasnt a code for what i wanted to write or the wording would be to long.

    if possible, you can always PM me with some screenshots and please check the language data settings in the preferences too.

    i myself play in danish, so if the Translation ID's didnt work i would notice right away. :)

  • Arvid04's avatar
    @sasmaz, everything is set to German. I suspect that only the translation for parts of the SI skin are available, the others will remain in English. :((
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @FreddyCTID - Thank you for the feedback
    I can add that the "flickering" is due to lack of space for the panel, it's the same in the default skin and has for a few years, i tested it last year thats how i know for sure.
  • FreddyCTID's avatar
    So, a little fix for the people, who had the problem where the game would not allow you to make changes until the first highlight appeared in a match:
    Extend the tablet on your right to its maximum. You can also check if the names on the formations on the "overview" screen flicker like flashing lights. If so, the screen will lock you out of doing changes until the first highlight. So extend the tablet until those flickers stop, or remove the formations and replace them with some other statistics of your choice. That worked for me, at least.

    I hope you all have a wonderful time managing!
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @Arvid04 - have you tried changing language in the preferences ?
  • Arvid04's avatar
    Great skin, but not playable for me from Germany, because all texts are in English outside of SI.
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @sebel - can you drop me a screenshot of how it looks before you minimize/full screen..

    You can try and delete the file you just copy'd over and the "match players bar widget" from the widgets folder, that way the bottom bar is back to default and you can see if that fixes it for you

  • sebel's avatar
    @sasmaz - followed the FAQ, deleted the tactics on each side of the bottom bar, but I still have issues when playing windowed (2k external screen). Have to minimize/full screen at the beginning of each match. Any idea how to fix that?
