I have downloaded the skins for FM12, and put in the folders mydocument/fm12/sportinteractive/graphic/skins. but it does not appear in the skin list in the preferences!

I'll just copy/paste the instructions from a random FM12 skin page we've got here.

Installation instructions:

Download the skin and follow the steps below to get it into your game:

Extract the file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Copy the folders you extracted into your skins folder this is by default (you may need to create the skins folder if it doesn’t already exist):

Win Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\skins
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\skins
Mac OS X: /Users/<username>/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2012/skins

If you cannot find your user data folder:

Applying the skin:

To select the skin in game you will need to:
  • load the game, and go into the preferences -> Display and Sound menu
  • untick ‘Use Skin Cache’ and tick ‘Always Reload Skin On Confirm’ then select confirm and
  • select the skin from the drop down menu, select confirm again and your new skin should now display. (Once the skin is loaded you can turn the skin cache back on and untick the Always Reload button.)

There is a simple answer. Took me a while to find it.

Most people make the basic mistake to create the "skins" folder inside the "graphics folder" - It needs to be its own folder(as per instructions) in the root FM12 directory with other folders such as db, games, matches, sounds, tactics, graphics .... etc.

Solved.
What about on a mac...cos I have exactly the same problem except my skins is in the root file???
