Custom skins are user-developed textures for unity that can be easily loaded to your Among Us local installation. Once loaded, you will be able to apply these skins to your character like any other normal skin.
These skins are only for local play and will be visible to all the players that are playing with you locally. However, if you are playing the game online with a custom skin, then it will only be visible to you. Other players in the game will see your character in its default skin.
Among Us Official Skins
Apart from custom skins that are only available for local play, you can also opt for official skins offered by Among Us. To access these skins, you need to visit the laptop when you are in the lobby.
You can then select ‘Skins’ at the top when customizing your character.
Now simply click on the skin that appeals to you to apply it to your character.
And that’s it! Your selected skin should now be worn by your character.

How to install custom skins in Among Us

I get the error ‘Unable to open the file in read mode’
This error occurs when you fail to check both the boxes when loading the package file. By default, if you end up selecting the parent box first, then the subsidiary boxes are unchecked by the software. Make sure to check them again. Once everything has been checked, click on ‘Ok’ and the file should now load for you.
My game crashes after the Innersloth logo
If your game is crashing then you are likely using the latest public beta for Among Us. The devs at Innersloth seem to be not taking custom skins lightly and have likely introduced their own countermeasures to prevent users from using custom skins.
Most users on the beta versions have been unable to play the game when using custom skins and currently, there seems to be no way to circumvent this problem. You can however go back to the latest stable release of the game which should help you install custom skins without a hitch.
The good guys over at Gamebanana stress this fact numerous times and we can’t stress it enough either. If you are going to share your textures with the community, then ensure that you create an installer package and do not share the ‘sharedassets0.assets’ file. This can cause issues with the installation as well as the local installation of Among Us and conflict with existing textures and skins within the game.
