This is a problem I am currently having, it may be because it is the first time I've had to put a folder into OSU's "skins" folder instead of just downloading it instantly with a .osk file, but whenever I update skins and check, it is just the default skin.


The skin folder being transferred to OSU's skins folder


The skin showing up as the default skin



osu! version: Stable 20231219.2 (latest)

Make sure all of the skin elements are directly under that top level "WhiteCat 2.0 (CK)" folder. Your skin folder is probably structured like osu!/Skins/WhiteCat 2.0 (CK)/WhiteCat 2.0 (CK)/XXXXX.png instead of just "osu!/Skins/WhiteCat 2.0 (CK)/XXXXX.png".

You can use your other, working skins as a reference.

Yep, that's what I have been doing,
So it starts with a ZIP File, then there is the folder inside of that ZIP (the thing I import,) which has 2 folders titled "2.0" and "2.1" in it, which have all the osk files, along with a miss sound ZIP.

I'm guessing that the folder I am putting into OSU's skins is the top level, unless I'm supposed to import the ZIP file??

Here, why don't you just open the WhiteCat 2.0 (CK) folder that's in your Skins folder currently and send another screenshot of what's inside it.

Thanks. Take all of the files out of either 2.0 or 2.1 folders and place them directly in the WhiteCat 2.0 (CK) folder.

That's what I meant by my original post. You can't have the skin elements nested within a subfolder. Again, you should be able to look at your other, working skin folders to get an idea of what I mean.
