Skins don't work

Just as the title says, I've tried installing a number of skin mods, particularly for areas, and they simply don't work - in this case, we'll use as an example 'Spaceport Lobby 01' and 'Luxury Lobby 12'. I overwrite the game's default files with the files from the downloads, boot the game up and... no change whatsoever. Near as I can tell, this is just supposed to be a simple drag and drop situation, and given I'm outright overwriting the game's files, it seems very odd to me that these maps are seeing no visual change whatsoever. What's the issue here?
 
By chance, have you tried to improve area graphic quality in the option of the start menu? Because sometimes the game doesn't recognize a skin if the area graphic is set to low.
 
The way lobby data gets loaded got changed at some point so these need to be installed differently now.

You need to take the 2 files in data\scene from the downloads and instead place them in EphineaPSO\data\ephinea\custom\lobby

For Spaceport Lobby 01 these 2 files are "map_lobby_01.xvm" and "map_lobby_01n.rel"
The "obj_lobby_main.xvm" file does still need to go in EphineaPSO\data

For Luxury Lobby 12 these 2 files are "map_lobby_yellow_be00.xvm" and "map_lobby_yellow_be00n.rel"

Okay, that makes a lot more sense, thank you. And for all other skins not pertaining to lobbies - for instance, skins for the races or other map reskins, would those go in custom\texture instead?
