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.

    @bri4life sorry to say it, but it's something you've done..
    make sure they are in the FM graphics folder as normaly, try and reset the cache and reload the skin.

    in worst case, catch me on the Second yellow card discord and i'll see if i can help

    Hi all, just downloaded the final skin for FM24... it looks amazing but there's one problem I'm having. All the profile photos have disappeared.

    Is this is known problem or have I screwed up on the installation?
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @klx - yes and maybe

    try and go into the settings file and search for bg and set the value to the wanted color

    for a teams primary color, try and change it to primary or secondary, but be aware that there will be colour clashes with text and other stuff, as some teams uses white and black team colours

    Is it possible to change the default color scheme? Or set it to change to when looking at other teams/competitions/players based on the background/foreground colors of the teams/competitions?
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @Bloody the resource archiver is free on steam in the tools section. just extract the skin

    Sas2025Final\panels\player\mustermann\pizza

    there is 3 files, which one you pick does not matter (lets use performance pizza.xml as example

    open it in notepad++ (free)

    in line 24 and 25

    <container default_height="15"/>
    <container class="horizontal_adaptive_container" gap="5" mode="distribute_equally" default_height="33"> <!-- 70 -->

    have a play around with the value 15 and 33 (mostly the 15)

    and you should be able to make it fit your current resolution

    @sasmaz Since the 2025 skin version is in .fmf I can't edit it :/ Would it help you if I find fitting values in the 2024 version? Or could you add an unpacked version of the 2025 file?

    If I can help you out with trial&error please tell me which values I need to adjust and I could report whats working with 1440 height :)
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @Bloody yeah the pizza chart is only in 1029x1080 and 3 zooms as it's all i can test it in
    so you would have to mess around with the numbers yourself in the file to try and make it fit better :(

    Hi, great skin so far
    I am using it in ultrawide and I know you said its not officially supported (3840 x 1440p / 100% zoom) but it works super, the only thing is that the pizza chart is a little off

    (ironically the 85% zoom version of the chart works better than the 100% zoom)
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @michaelandrews good to hear :)
  • michaelandrews's avatar
    working :) thank you so much
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @michaelandrews as said - i did a update to the Sas2025Final-Background versions, so if you havnt downloaded that please do as the background selector didnt fully work in the previous versions
  • michaelandrews's avatar
    @sasmaz once again thank you. I am away from home right now, later, at dinner time, if it is okay with, I will pop up here. For me, along with the opacity % issue, it's the background selection also not working, although the image files are inside the background folder. Meanwhile, I will compare the files from the january version with this one.
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @michaelandrews not sure why it's not working for you, the best i can do for you is to ask you to find me in SecondYellowcards discord (find link in the comment field of his video's and then drop me a message, then we can take a better look
  • michaelandrews's avatar
    @sasmaz thank you for your reply. I have 10 pictures inside the backgrounds folder (Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\Graphics\Backgrounds), numbered 1 to 10 and the config.xml. Inside the xml file, I have the following lines:
    <record>

    <!-- resource manager options -->

    <!-- dont preload or cache anything in this folder -->
    <boolean id="preload" value="false"/>
    <boolean id="cache" value="false"/>

    <list id="maps">

    <record from="default" to="graphics/backgrounds/default/default"/>

    </list>
    </record>
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @michaelandrews have you downloaded the background versions after i fixed it a few days ago ? - the opasity works if you use the background selector, see the how to in the download folder

    When you try and get % to show, remember to restart the game as said as the control part of it only loads in on game start. if it's not working for you, you are doing something wrong as i know it's working
  • michaelandrews's avatar
    I have tried your fix: 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.
    Did not work.
  • michaelandrews's avatar
    Thank you for awesome work.
    Just a small issue: the opacity percentage is not working. Can you tell what's the file that controls this?
  • MrDutch28's avatar
    @sasmaz
    Ohh okay, I found it now.

    Thank you! :D

    @MrDutch28 - There is a triangle next to players and staffs name, if you click it a popup will show the attributes (If you have the ingame editor) else it will just show -

  • MrDutch28's avatar
    I feel really stupid asking this but... I've downloaded both the final hidden, final hidden background ect... but I can't seem to find the hidden attribute button...

    Where can I find it exactly?
  • sasmaz's avatar
    @Jordan Whibley
    Did you download it after the minor fix i did to it ?
    if no, please re-download

    have you setup the background selector as it should ? or are you just having a background picture ?

    the opacity does not work if you just have a background picture, but only if you have setup the selector as it should

    Hey Sasmaz

    Getting some issues on the "Sas2025Final-Hidden-Background.fmf" where the background opacity changes number but doesnt actually dim the background.

    All the other files work fine.

    Any ideas??
  • gurnz_72's avatar
    Easily the best skin this one!!!!

  • sasmaz's avatar
    Just fixed the version of Sas2025Final-Hidden with the Background selector, so it again shows background pictures correctly.
    in my rush to get it out(which i never ment to do) i forgot to correct a single line..
