Hi bolid. Can you please make kits of the high res for Hibernian 1575

Sorry man, I can't take requests right now, especially not for high-res kits which take quite a lot of time to make

At the moment I have no plans to do more level 9 leagues, since I'm mostly focused on 3d kits and ...playing the game actually :-)

Do you have a favourite team there? I could make your team

Wonderful 3D-kits. How can i get them to work? When they come in packs it allways include a config file.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Just download FM17 pack for 17/18 season and remove all old kits so that only config remains. Then put these new kits into that folder. Make sure you name them exactly as they're named in config

Does that work for FM18? it only happens to premier league teams I've noticed, do you know what's causing it?

I can confirm that clubs which have multiple shirts assigned (for several competitions) won't show SS kit in those competitions (will be seen only in main league)
The easiest solution that worked for me was to delete additional shirts using in-game editor. You can also use normal editor but you'll have to restart career in that case. I guess that is not great solution for clubs which use different shirts in Euro games.

Perhaps it's a bug, or maybe this year we can code in config for multiple shirts but we don't know how yet.

A big update is now online, for now only on mediafire link.
Hampton got new Sondico kit (only home for now) and several new 3rd kits are added.

thanks. what is it mean 414×414 kits? can you explain it? which must I download ?

This is standard or 220x220 kit:
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Wta2r5z6YjGsIKhHwvRlD1fvQn5l2ElAaLSqODxT.png

This is high-res or 414x414 kit:
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/6dSBqPiqyXLswCBe30HhkNt2KZcZ2qwj0syFlWOj.png

They're same size in game, however 414x414 look sharper.
I have again put both versions in same pack (it's on mediafire link for now), with high-res kits packed in subfolder. Standard kits will normally show if you just download and forget about it, but if you prefer better kits (who doesn't :-P), you have to overwrite standard kits with high-res kits.

Which part of the kit is the undersleeve? Am I right in thinking it's the thermal underlay that players wear with a short sleeved shirt?

Yes, exactly that, I wasn't sure how to call it in english.

A small update on texture layout, for kit makers.
There's a small surface on the left side, above shorts. This is an underwear sleeve which is worn by 2-3 players during match so I didn't notice this before.
It's same surface for both sleeves.

I don't think you would see any improvements with our kits. Yes, we add a lot of details, but that is only to make kit look nice, in game you see nothing of that.

This is the closest you can get with camera behind goal and all graphics maxed:

the EPL kits aren't included in the game,
Sports Interactive don't have a license for that league (only Watford)

I didn't notice that lol. I played some championship clubs and assumed premier league is in there as well. Premier league would be my absolute priority but I see Chris is working on it so I'll leave it to his capable hands.

My unofficial Championship pack is now updated with 7 new high-res kits, most notable entrants are Aston Villa and Sheffield Wed. The pack is now 80% in high res.

I like to play with "traditional/historical" kits in my games and actually take the advertising etc of the 3D kits and had a huge collection of previous kits from which I could populate leagues with "classic" kits.
Would it be possible to produce templates without advertising and fancy detail? ie. all white, white with black shorts/navy shorts, black and white stripes with black shorts/white shorts etc.

Would be great to start building a basics kit library again :-)


I made a simple template for myself, it shouldn't be very difficult for a person with basic photoshop skills to create simple kits:

Just so you know, 512x512 still works, in case you have some hard case of sponsor logo unavailability
The shirt area in that case is even smaller than on FM17 layout :-P

Does that mean you're not planning to update current FM17 3D kits for FM18 bolid ?? That would be pity,if that's the case.


You got to see this year as transitional, when not many leagues will be done, but a lot of work will be done "under the hood". Kits (and packs) will progress at a slow pace simply because there are no templates and huge pile of done kits from which we can grab "repeatable elements". Obviously in this situation we can expect most of kit makers will do leagues which don't have kits at all, rather than remaking original kits (which are not that bad this year I noticed).
There's also a psychological blow for kit makers who can hardly find motivation to redo same packs which they already made.

In order to make many packs we have to start early, as soon as clubs start announcing their next season's kits in april / may - as we did. But this "reset" happened this year, we're now in November with 0 kits made. So it's kind of a lost year and it's realistic to expect that recreating same packs we did for FM17 will again take months, and by then clubs will start to announce new kits and we'll all turn to new season.

Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 in the plans?


We'll see after I'm done with Croatian leagues and English lvl 7 what to do next. Hopefully more people will step in and start making kits by then

It's cos you're a perfectionist bolid and we love you for it !! You've transformed the SS kits from something dull to pure art,so we wouldn't expect anything less with the 3D kits. They'll look better anyway when Si sort out the ridiculous saturated pitches and lighting that ruins most matches and blurs detail !

Yeah, pitches look awfull, way to bright. SI will never fix it though. Last year there was a mod on FM Scout for realistic grass texture. It was brilliant and I hope for the same thing this year

Top man Bolid, really like the Dinamo Zagreb away kit detailing around the neck pattern, very crisp (sucker for details me, lol), keep up the good work as always

Sometimes I ask myself, why the f.. am I wasting time on that, it can't be seen in game anyway :-P

Ok, I think I mastered this new texture format and I'm almost done with first 3D pack for FM18.
To avoid confusion, I wacked a huge logo on the kit which says quite clearly "for FM18". In game, this will be shown on players butt, so that you know that you successfully installed my kits (ok, maybe not ).

I present you work in progress Croatian 1st league:

Update: this pack is now completed
