Version 4.0 

(ready for SI Hotfix as of 19.02.2026)

• 2D back in Match in between highlihts (just switch live table view)
• Keystats and Morestats fixed in 3D Game
• redone Clubsite for unmanaged Clubs
• completely redid the buttons on tactics page
• added new Portal overview for low-res
• added a new match in between Highlights screen for low-res
• Extended Squadoverview adding additional elements, added low-res Version for it as well
• some more Color finetunings
• added pro/cons to PlayerProfile - just switch the tab in Attributes panel… 

As usual, enjoy…
 

Reading changelog, first posting might help…

Make sure you have a clean, unmodified base game, before you apply the bundles.

To get back to that, do a verify of your gameinstallation on steam or whatever your platform is. They all provide this opportunity…

Once down, try to reapply the whole bundle.

That was a nice finding Lucky Luke has shared with us and somewhat a last second adding to my release version...

 
No, usually this is not empty but would show the attributes there... Why it stays empty here, I'm not sure. However, it's an easy way to show the pros/cons, also well layouted this time. They usually give us a headache, as on other locations we have tried, they show poorly layouted, asymetrical, etc. 

If you switch to coach report once, the game will remember that for the session... You only have to do that again, when restarting the game. For now I can live with that tbh. If we find a better way or solution, might be changed in future but for the time being it's better to have it there accessible rather than not having it at all

See first Posting - it's explained there how to install.

As some ppl kept crying, you can stop and look no further than V 4.0 … ;-)

…and no - I have no release date. Maybe at the weekend, maybe next week - depending on a couple of things…

Version 3.9

• new background for even smoother theme visualization
• redone carousel tile-layer buttons wiht new accent color
• added accent highlight to tab swithching
• added switchable pro/cons view to player profile (thanks Lucky!)
• redone various overview and popup screens
• further minor color adjustments
• added full detailed wage overview to recruitment overview page

Up from next version, I will finally move to bundle-only releases. 

One of the reasons is, that obviously it's too complicated to handle it in skinbuilder or ppl don't even care to read instructions properly, no matter how precise you do them.

Therefore I have added a short description on how to install the bundles (as like with any other bundle based skin) and removed the beginners guide/reference to Skinbuilder.

Unfortunately, from here on the skin will be for windows version of the game only.

use a different skin…!

For Mac, the way to go is using the Skinbuilder version und with that you can create your own bundles and apply them to the game - directly from within Skinbuilder…

Early teaser…

Did you even tried reading the descripiton of this skin? It's ALL in there… 

Let me xplain it like this…

The skin is exactly how I like it. 

I also gladly share it with the community and - for the time being - share my Skinbuilder version, pretty much the full version of all changes. Feel free to use it and do your very own personal version for yourself, where you can apply all changes you like, until it fully fulfills your personal preferences… but this - I don't regard as being my task…

You can find it in the Skinbuilder version. Each position group can (obviously) be changed :-)

when? when ready!

No. 

Doesn't happen for me. Make sure you installed it properly.

Update V 3.8:

• Slightly modified Startmenu 
• Fixed issue with messages backgrounds after last SI patch
• Fixed messed up set-pieces page
• more finetuning on buttons for comprehensive experience
• enlarged both passmaps (single/comparison) in date hub
• added extended statistics in 3d match (match in between highlights screen) - thanks to Whisperio for sharing with the community!
• changed presentation of player/person pictures accross the skin

As we have again seen skins published which have been poor unauthorized copy/paste jobs, I'd like to announce this:
If I see this happening again, I will immediately stop sharing Skinbuilder version and this time it will not return. We (the Skinbuilder community) have put hundreds of hours into our projects and it's not acceptable to simply copy/paste it and publish it as your product. We gladly share our work with the community but “stealing” is unacceptable.

Finally, here are some impressions from the latest version…

 

Feel free to do so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Check the mapping in “graphics/backgrounds” and replace them to your liking…

Why SI, why can't you just release the passmaps like this?

When it's ready?

Great job, mate!

Yes, they will. Found a way to properly overlay them again, so text keeps readable 🙂

You're using skinbuilder version? If so, try this:

• go to Settings and delete cache
• restore game to original files
• verify game installation through steam/gamepass
• go into packages folder and delete all bundles except the tactics one
• do a fresh build and apply

Other than that - no further idea what might be wrong…

Can't help you with that unfortunately - as the Data-Hub is untouched by the skin, means it comes from the base game 1:1 …

Find them in Data-Hub…

or in match…

 

Check your mappings if everything is selected… The only one I have excluded for the release was “Messages” due to the removed layer (by SI) for those tiles…
You can map them, but a couple of pictures will be too bright, so text is hard to read. This will be fixed for the next version.

Other than that, there shouldn't be a major difference between 3.6 and 3.7 when it come to the number of bundles created during a build run… 

If you just want to replace bundles - it's sufficient to just download the bundled version - at least if you're on Windows ;-)
