There are an infinite of community-made add-ons that players can install to customize the Football Manager 24 to their liking. One aspect that players can modify is the skin, but the game doesn’t actually teach you how to install skins in FM24.

The skin is responsible for the interface of FM24. Each skin has its own colors and templates, generally speaking, they modify the original design of the game. You can see the difference between FM24‘s default skin and the Material Skin, which is a custom one.
