Custom Skins

Add your own customized skins into the skin changer system.

This is a feature for advanced users only. Expect no support for this feature.

Adding custom skins is easy if you're familiar with the process of navigating and finding assets in FModel along with the JSON data format.

Skins File

The configuration file for custom skins can be found in the Athenaware configuration directly. You can find this by clicking the 'folder' icon in the configuration tab, then go back a folder.

The folder is called UserSkins.json. You may have to create it if it does not exist already.
