i just made some bike skins and they exported perfectly fine on the reflex skin packager, but the problem is that when they're on my bike in my garage, they're really pixelated along with all of the default skins too. the dimensions of the .BMP file from photoshop are 2048 x 1024 like theyre supposed to be too. i made the graphics straight off the wireframe file and when i exported the .BMP file out of photoshop, it gave me 3 options of depth...

-16 bit
-24 bit
-32 bit

the higher the bit, the better quality the graphics turn out in the reflex skin packager and in reflex, i always choose 32 bit but idk if im doing this right, i really need help, my arcade games wont load either, when i choose a bike for free ride, the game crashes before i can even choose a free ride map, and im thinking that its because of this skin packager thing because sometimes if i scroll over a custom skin in my garage, it causes the game to freeze for a second then crash...

Well, have you deselected any custom skins before loading new ones into the game? If not, do that. Always pick 32 bit, and they will always be pixelated ingame, it sucks but that's how it is from what I know so far. If deselecting the skins does not help, try downloading the 15 million game save by JamieT but backup you're old profile in case this doesn't work! What are you running, Windows or Mac? Make sure the game is updated to the latest version, same goes for the skin packager, make sure it is the latest version. You can wait for other modders' responses to see if they help better but if all else fails, I have no choice but to say, reinstall the game, start over. Hope I helped.

I reinstalled the game and did the million game save too. I figured out the pixelated skin problem because I forgot to raise my graphics quality in reflex settings, but my game will not stop crashing after I click my bike for arcade free ride. I've tried everything and I just don't understand, and thank you

Try the 15 Million save file again.  Maybe you didn't follow the instructions correctly.

I did the instructions right I know because I deleted the savegame file in the remote folder, replaced it with the 15 million save, and renamed it too. that all works, the only problem is my game is still crashing in arcade even after all of those steps
