Normally I just let it copy overnight using iTunes as it takes so long. (you can actually see the progress bar which you can't on a Mac) Seems to finish by the morning and is ready to copy the skins folder over. I would suggest the usual, make sure iTunes is up to date, iPad is up to date and try a different cable if possible.


Mine has just updated to 21.2.1 and all graphics are still there. It just took the usual long time to load on the first time (when you select the different skin) but I didn't change the skin. It just knew that it had to refresh all the graphics on the update.

1. download http://www.mediafire.com/file/ytg68z675wv55rn/fmt19ios_patch4graphics_v0.1.zip/file
2. unzip
3. find file skin_config, open in notepad
4. find line and change <string id = "required_version" value = "21.2.0" />
5. create skin folder and copy this itunes in fm touch
6. copy folders pictures this all graphics
7. start the game, -> preferences - > change skin -> clear cashe - > reload game.
8. wait 2-10 minute until loading is completed


Confirmed this works.

You do need to change line <string id = "required_version" value = "21.2.0" /> of every config.xml inside each of the skins folder. Else only the skin you have changed will work. Tip....Use Notepadd++ find in files feature to replace them all at once.

Used the old method creating a graphics folder instead and adding everything inside the graphics folder (logos, faces, kits, stadiums, trophies) to a total of 25gb and not the pictures folder.

Then dragged the graphics folder over using iTunes on PC. Took about 8 hours to copy across.

Chnaged the skin and reloaded, took about 30 mins load up first time.

Working on 21.2.0.

Might try the more than 3 leagues trick now.

It's a shame we still can't change the names yet and git rid of Zebre....

Correct it is just the first time of loading the skin.

The next restart is fine as everything is loaded.

See the attached pics for how good it looks.

The kits, logos, faces, trophies and stadiums.....

I know what you mean.

I did look to see if I could fix it. Will just have to wait for FMT21 and see if we can lob a water bottle at anyone with the new gestures.

I have just repatched the FMT20 on the iPad Air 4 with 24Gb of files (faces, kits, logos, trophies and stadiums) it took about 30 mins to load with the circle going around.

If anyone is interested on the packs I used. Just make sure you extract them in the folder structure.

I haven't bought the copy of FMT20 yet but I have found this from the original Korea Links from the original post it maybe worth someon giving it a try if they can.

So basically using the old FMT19 patch from above but edit the settings


I have edited the files myself but can't test them basically I have edited all the files likes instructed below.

Download here valid for 14 days fmt20ios_patch4graphics_v0.1.zip

Let everyone know if it works.

While FMT patching, the bear's skin wasn't loaded.



Bear skin: https://www.fmkorea.com/1359952120



1. Go to the skins folder after downloading the bear skin.



2. Enter fmc dark tablet1 (the top folder) under the skins folder.

3. Open the skin_config.xml file with Notepad. 4. The value of required_versin at the bottom is 19.0.0. 5. Change 19.0.0 to 20.0.0.

6. Edit all skin_config.xml files under the skins folder under fmc dark tablets 1 to 5 and fmc retro tablet 1 to 5 folders as 4 and 5.



7. Put skins on iPad and reset cache in preferences

-> Face packs, logos, uniforms and other patch files can be found easily if you search



8. Interface-Check the skin list and you're done!

Well what is the best way of uploading my pack?

The total folder sits just about 6.0Gb, will rar it or zip it up then maybe torrent?

But that includes everything and its all working and up to date kits, badges etc...

The stadiums are the Google Earth view of them which makes it look pretty sweet in the background

It's on the 3D match engine. As soon as someone scores it shows the replay after and there is a small replay button to skip watching the goal again.

I only use it when someone scores against me!

It adds the Skip replay button back in when a team scores a goal. I am trying it out this afternoon so if anything else changes I will let you know.

It sounds like you have done everything right.
  • Did it take it's time to reload when you saved, close and restarted? It should kind of crash on the Sports Interactive logo.
  • Maybe when you select the skin, save, close in running apps, then restart your iPad. Completely switch it off and back on again.
  • Did you load your last save game or did you start a new one? As soon as you go to new career you should see the logos of the premier league
  • Don't think it will make much difference but what iPad do you have?
Let me know how it goes

Yeah I think it covers quite a bit and easier on the loading times as they are compressed to the .fmf types in each folder.

If you want to add your own in I think you have to go for the higher ones where they are indvidual faces like the Windows touch version. From what I can gather as long as the faces match the codes to the PC version you should be fine.

Apparently you can add all the logos, faces etc to the pc version of touch and then spit them out as .fmf to make it faster. I haven’t got the pc version to do it and it sounds like another step. But I don’t have any issues without the compression with the iPad Pro.

See the attached image showing what it's like on the iPad Pro. See the Etihad stadium in the background behind the team shirt, all the logos in the fixtures and results and little 'ol Pep and Ko looking at you.

I have been playing for a month with the high capacity and had no issues.


Any issues and I will try and help out the best I can. As I said I can only help with installing of the graphics not where they come from.

I have got an iPad Pro and it works!!!!!

To expand a little on the guide above

For this to work you have got to have at least loaded FMT once before you see the folders that the game contains in iTunes.


I followed the link to the korean website above and downloaded the following graphics pack. (Google Translate)

Graphics Pack


Download the Skins pack Skins Pack

extract them both so you can see the folder skins and graphics

  1. Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes.
  2. Click on the iPad icon in iTunes to show your the details about your device
  3. Then in the list on the left click on file sharing - Same as you would the mobile version
  4. Then in file explorer drag and drop the graphics folder over into file sharing on iTunes. iTunes will show a progress bar if its copy and may come up with this folder already exists do you want to replace.
  5. Do the same with the skins folder.
  6. Once everything has copied over unplug your iPad and open FMT18 on your iPad
  7. Go to preferences under the overview tab there is the interface section. In the drop down for the skins you should see a lot more choices.
  8. Select any one until you see the Author is reloadGraphics - You can choose your theme to whatever dark, retro or normal
  9. Click save and then close FMT18
  10. Once you reload it can take ages, just leave it. It's just reloading the cache of graphics.
  11. You should have at least the correct badges, faces, kits, etc...
High Capacity Pack
Once I did that I found followed the guide to have high capacity pack that Different link (Again Google Translate) where I made an even bigger pack that showed the correct stadium pics, loads of faces, correct badges, trophies for everything but that is above 4.9Gb. Before you copy the folder I would delete FMT18 from your iPad and reinstall so its "fresh" maybe back up your game saves if you want to before hand. The only recommendation is don't download the 3d kits as it makes them look a little weird but it's no biggie if you do.

All you have to do is download the packs in individually and then create a folder structure below and then drop the contents of each you have download into the correct folder as stated above.

graphics
=======faces
=======kits
=======logos
=======pictures
=======|======stadiums
=======|======trophies

Once you have complied make sure you just drag and drop the graphics folder over. Not each individual folder. Don't forget to copy the skins folder again so you can change it again preferences to force the reload.

I have no credit in this just expanding on the guide to help others. The korean website is full of it I just can't speak korean but google can.
