Remember to backup pc_stream.starpak incase you want to delete your skins.
Use Stryukus's skintool and not zxcPandoras skintool.
This is the primary custom skin video. You will learn how custom skins works. Which types of custom skins are available. Importantly how to install custom skins.
This was a Discord channel tutorial by catbug to help with installing custom skins.
Before we do anything else, you want to create a backup of the file pc_stream.starpak. You can locate it in the game directory here: \Titanfall2\r2\paks\Win64. It is the biggest file in the folder, about 10GB. Make sure the backups are not in the game directory, maybe put it in on your desktop. This is where the skins are stored.
Next you want to download the latest full release (c0.3.2 as of the writing of this guide) of Pandora's skin tool here: https://github.com/zxcPandora/Titanfall2-SkinTool/releases. Download SkinTool-User-ENG.zip
The final download is a skin from #custom-skins-collection in our Discord, I'll use my own that I made a while ago. (Note: you don't need to extract the zip folder that has the skin)
After you extract the skin tool, run the application: (note, you may have to run as administrator if it doesn't work)
First, you have to set the game path. Click Set and then SetGamePath. Locate Titanfall2.exe (or just the Titanfall2 application if you don't have extensions on.
Next, click the three dots on the right and select the zipped skin you downloaded
Click Import Skin and you're done!
If you don't see the skins in game (in game, not the menu), you may need to turn up your texture filtering to at least 8x
