Using Your Custom Skin In LFS
How to apply your skin and see it in-game:
- Launch LFS, choose your car type and enter the
garage.
- Create a new colour profile or select your existing one if not already selected. Name your profile, after you have created a profile it will appear in the list
- Click on the
Colours button in the menu at the bottom of the garage screen.
- Using the colour sliders, set the body colour to white if using a custom skin, otherwise your skin will not look the way you meant it to. Body colours applied here will shine through your skin but only a white body will not effect your skin's colours.
- Choose your skin by clicking on the button next to the title
Texture name, a list of all the skins for the car type selected will appear. These are the skins in your LFS/data/skins folder.
You can select a different skin for your profile whenever you like, just click on the
Texture name button to bring up the list of available skins and choose one from there.
AI Skins
You can also make a colour profile for your AI drivers. Name the profile
exactly the same as the AI driver's name and choose a skin. Whenever that AI driver uses that car type he will use the skin you selected for his profile. This is a great time-saver. Make sure that "
AI use player colours" is selected in your
Options/
Misc menu. With this selected, if you have
not made a special AI colour profile, the AI will use whatever profile you are using.
