FAQ
Where should I extract files?
You can extract them anywhere on your computer. Just make sure `fm26-bootpack.exe` and the `Collections` folder stay together in the same directory.
Is FM26 Bootpack free to use?
FM26 Bootpack tool is completely free to download and use. "Free Collection - (adidas Copa Pure II.1, Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 15 Elite Blast, Puma King Ultimate Art of Football, Skechers SKX_01 Low Prime, Under Armour Clone Magnetico Pro 3.0)" is available at no cost, unlocking all boot collections require a one-time license purchase.
Can I customize my players' boots?
Boots are assigned randomly (will change every game), it was hardcoded by SI. But we may have a workaround this year since Unity has more capabilities in terms of "bending the rules".
Is macOS supported?
Yes!
How does the automatic update system work?
If a new version is available, you'll see a notification at the top with a "Download Update" button. To access the latest boot collections, you must download and use the newest version, older versions won't show recently added collections even if they're available.
Can I install boots one by one, but not in collections?
Unlike FM24 which allowed individual boot selection, FM26 uses collections as pre-configured sets of boots. I'm investigating possible workarounds for individual boot selection, but for now, collections are the only installation method available.
Can I create custom collections?
I'm taking suggestions for which boots should be added in future updates. A Discord channel is currently work in progress, where you'll be able to request specific boots to be included in new collections.
I'm getting a Windows Defender warning. Did I just install a virus?
Windows Defender shows this warning because the executable is not digitally signed with a certificate. This is NOT a virus, it's a standard Windows security measure for unsigned applications from independent developers. To run the tool, click "More info" in the warning dialog, then click "Run anyway" when it appears. FM26 Bootpack is safe to use.

Yeah I'm getting the exact same error when trying to launch the game after installing the bootpack.

Have you updated tool to v1.2.1? It should be able to detect correct path.

benithemaker

Can you add a collection of all-white boots? Please select a few white boot models from various brands and create a set. Thank you so much.
benithemaker
Is this one considered all-white? 🙂 Jokes aside, a new version is being prepared. I’ll include what you requested.

I have the new FM26 Bootpack and paid for it. All was working fine but I have now downloaded the update 1.3 and when I put my verification code in it is saying there's an error in the verification code.
benithemaker
Sorry, just fixed it! A new version is on the way (with 15 new boots).

The game stopped working after I did this. Help! It keeps crashing on start.
benithemaker
Could you try restoring to default, then reinstalling boots? I haven’t experienced any crashes, but some folks on Twitter have mentioned that restarting the app has fixed their issues. Btw, did the previous version work well for you? If so, please use this one while I'm investigating the issue.

Hi Ben,
when am trying to download the boots package, I get this pop up…
benithemaker
Are you using the latest version? Also, which collection is this?
kisielek7
Can I install only one of these bootspack collections for FM26, even if I have the premium version? Can I install more?
benithemaker
Only one collection can be installed at a time, SI locked it that way. Premium unlocks all current and upcoming collections.
Halifax75
