Simple Instructions
WARNING YOU ARE PROBABLY BETTER OFF WAITING FOR THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF THE FILE TO DO THIS, BUT HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS ANYWAY.1) Find the folder for your skin in Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/skins
- It will probably be named the name of the skin e.g. "Scorpio"
- There may be more than one folder if there are different versions
2) Within the folder find a file named the same as the name of the folder but with the extension .xml
- e.g: "Scorpio.xml"
3) Rename this file to be called "skin_config.xml"
4) Edit this file in some sort of text editor such as notepad and add this line just BEFORE the last time it says record
- Make sure to replace the name of the skin (obviously)
Full Explanation
In FM15.1 skins you’d have this –\skins
…\fm dark\
…\fm dark\fm dark.xml
The new format for 15.2 is now
\skins
…\fm dark\
…\fm dark\skin_config.xml
Any folder with the skin_config.xml will be discovered, and the folder name is not important anymore.
The folder name of the skin is now defined within the skin_config.xml itself with a line like this –
This value is important as it’s used to find a skin, and required to work in FM15.2.
In 15.2, if a skin is set, and isn’t found through the new skin discovery mechanism, it will fall back to the games default skins so any pre-existing 3rd party skin someone may be using would have their skin changed to the default until their 3rd party skin is updated, and can then be re-selected.

<string id="skin_name" value="scorpio" />
Save, then go back to the game preferences, and it should appear.
There may be other things that are different in 15.2 (it looks like there's been a couple of other tweaks done) but the skin maker will have to sort those for you.

<string id="skin_name" value="scorpio" />
For the Scorpio skin obviously but it's still not reading the skin no matter what i do.

Just replace that line with this:
<string id="skin_name" value="scorpio" />

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I've followed the instructions for Scorpio and FM 2015 Flut Skin Dark and neither show up in preferences.
I've amended everything as per the instructions in text editor.
I've tried clear cache and reload skin to no avail.
Is there anything else I may have missed?
You help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

The last 3 rows before </record> should be
<string id="required_version" value="15.0.0" />
<string id="name" value="Place-the-name-of-your-skin-here" />
<string id="skin_name" value="Place-the-name-of-your-skin-here" />
I have Scorpio Skin, so mine looks like this
<string id="required_version" value="15.0.0" />
<string id="name" value="scorpio" />
<string id="skin_name" value="scorpio" />
