Okay, so i have figured this every year, but since i got my new Macbook Pro, and icloud drive etc, I can't graphics to work... the SI folder isnt even in documents, it's in 'public' - how do I get them to work?

Any help appreciated.

I cant play without graphics!!! :-(

Your sports interactive folder on the mac is in: User/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/FM 21. Create a graphics folder if one is not available or copy your graphics folder over from previous versions.

Hi. Downloaded the beta and seen earlier you said to open the game and a graphics folder should appear for FM 2021 in the library-application support-FM21 folder. But after i opened the game it doesn't show any graphics folder. I made my own and populated it with my face, kit and logo pack but after reloading skin in game it doesn't show any of those packs. Any ideas as to where i am going wrong or how to troubleshoot.

From FM20 onwards, there's been a substantial change to how Mac FM documents are stored. Previously the files would automatically go in the Documents folder here:

Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Documents/Sports Interactive

Now the files will instead appear in the following location:

Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive

By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:

Open Finder
Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2020’

After that, it's important that the preferences are amended to look like this:

If these steps don't work, could you please upload a screenshot of your graphics folder - showing clearly the path it's installed in?

Hi,

I'm facing the same issue with MacBook Air M1 2020, running Monterey as OS.

I have created the “graphics” folder under USERS/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022 but it doesn't work (I have also uploaded the skin and created a new save in the game). Below you can see the path, any idea?

Thanks, 

Luca

Are you changing the preferences too, as per the below screenshots?

What exactly are you trying to install though? A skin should go in the skins folder, it is any other custom graphics which should go into the graphics folder.
