Bielsa is a legend
Miles has updated on what can and can’t be modded in FM26.
good news on kits,faces, logos and general graphics
bad news-community skins won’t work
hopefully somebody can work through this as it’s a massive backwards step
the base skin is terrible, the obsession with purple is very odd.

what about adboards? Would be nice to mod those again
Bielsa is a legend
adboards work in 24, these are just graphic additions so hopefully fine, although they do appear to have improved them for 26

I understand from a post that bolid mentioned, that it could be likely that the kit templates may be different from that as used in FM24. Great shame if the newly made ‘26 can't be used, as from what I have seen in videos, the in-game 3d kits are decidedly average.
Aljo24
Is it possible to use custom adboards for fm24? Arent them harcoded?
Bielsa is a legend
yes
StuartNG
Yes you can, but unable to circulate, due to pressure from Sports Interactive so I believe. They have hyperlinks to sponsor ad-boards used in game, and so that may take away from potential revenue streams, or that is how I understand it.
Aljo24
so video ads doesnt work but static ads do? First time i hear about it haha but nice hopefully it will work in 26 too.
Bielsa is a legend
Both work in 24 same as 23,22 etc
Aljo24
interesting. thanks! How so no people make them up to date?

No more talk about adboards
It has been explained above why

That's a big blow no custom skins.

My understanding is not that skins won't be possible at all ever, but more that they won't be possible at release.

Guys the bigest problem is the 3d kits i think, all the work from the past its garbage now?? For the skin i can take it but the 3d templates no way!!!. imagine @bolid74 work and all the creators all our time wasted,,,

I think it’s a case of wait and see, Miles article was vague as usual. Hoping that our creators will soon crack the code as it were.
only a couple of weeks and we will have more insight
mons
I share your concern, but we simply do not have enough information yet to be sure this is the case.
Hopefully, even if 3d kits aren't the same, there can be some way to convert them to any new format.
We'll just have to wait and see.

Somehow I've only just noticed about the mention that Skins aren't going to be available at release. Pretty big shame that. Might have to wait until we see if they can be edited before I decide what to do.

I'm confident someone will eventually ‘crack the code’ to adjust the ‘look & feel’ (I don't know if ‘ skin’ if still the right word for it after what they did to the UI)
And it's needed for sure, because the UI is very very bad. The overview and structure for users is completely gone, way too much panels, pop-ups, hidden (sub)menu's, etc.
I also miss the zoom option (which was presented next to the screen resolution option in previous FM versions) They now replaced it with a 4 options menu to change the texture size, but even on Small, the texture size is huuuuuuge. Feels like the UI was designed for mobile and console in mind, while the hardcore and largest playing FM community is on PC/MAC (!)
For me: half of the FM experience always came from customized graphics, provided by the community. OPZ Elite transparant skins, hundreds of team specific stadium backgrounds, every player covered via the megapack, boots, trophy's, logo's, you name it. SI is well aware of this and now seems to radically change course. If you take your clients/community serious, you listen and take these essential elements into your standard design for each FM release. These are the basics you just don't touch. Disappointing.

Very well said and completly agree,
