This file is intended for version 14.3.0 of FM14, and will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are re-installed when patches come out.

The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 14 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German National team doesn't call up real players. These are fully save-game compatible.

There is also a club name changes file, which changes the names of clubs in a way which ensures that any nicknames entered in the default database are retained. This file includes the proper names for Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, with 23 media files added to encompass all major footballing nations and continents. It also includes a small file to correct some incorrect national kit colours and ones whose kits were not displaying. Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files. For all these files to work, however, you will need to start a new game.

Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical, although of course you use the equivalent folder for FM14.

Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this file:

Step 1: Go to

PC
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2014 \ data \ db \ 1430 
Mac
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2014 \ Data \ db \ 1430
Linux
/home/user/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Football Manager 2014/data/db/1430/

Please note that the Local folder is hidden. Press (ctrl + h)
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the folder above

Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.

Step 4: Go to:

Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2014
Step 5: Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein. If it does not exist, then create it.

Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and open the folder named "editor data files".

Step 7: Copy everything from the folder in step 6 into the folder mentioned in step 5.



To check if the file is working, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.

Hi... I can't get this working at all. my main problem is that when i go to program file, steam, steam apps then there seems to be no football manager 2014 folder. So I have no access to data, db, 1400.. It doesn't seem to exist.....any reason why? I also tried creating my own folders but no joy. I don't understand as I done this for both 2012 and 2013 with no problems.. will be great if someone will get back to me asap as I am waiting for this before I play. Great, and someone please help if you can

Since the portuguese competitions changed their names, the awards should also change. Eg:
Liga Orangina player of the year --> Liga Revolução player of the year
2ª Divisão player of the year --> Campeonato Nacional player of the year
Bwin Cup player of the year --> Taça da Liga player of the year

Thanks for this - I've fixed them in view of the upcoming full release.



I deleted the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the

Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2014 \ data \ db \ 1400
as per the instructions and replaced them with the three files I downloaded. I did forget to also put them in the 'editor data' folder but I did that later before I reinstalled my graphics folder, but I still can't get any pictures :-(

You seem to have installed it correctly, but I would still like to see a screenshot to be sure. Moreover, this pack doesn't have anything to do with any graphical content Are you sure that the tickboxes in your preferences are ticked in this manner?

Someone please help! When I click 'download now', the following message comes up.

'INCORRECT COMMAND LINE' (See attachment).

This is so frustrating because I've downloaded 7-ZIP and it's still doing this. I'm a pain in the arse I know but if anyone can provide me with how to rectify this, I'd be much appreciated!!

Cheers

Try right-clicking and choosing save as target. I also recommend that you use winrar as that's the program I used to compress it.

That's very strange Are you sure that the game has fully downloaded?

I believe that's related to a recent update to the beta version of the game, which, intentionally and as part of the changes effected, removes all the user preferences; including the load last game settings. The save game is still there, you just have to click two more times to get it

There shouldn't be any problems using it with the full game version, but I intend to release a new version shortly after the game has been officially released to ensure it is fully compatible.

I'm afraid so. These files only fix any licensing issues in the game. You are of course free to use the editor to modify any other data you want to and you should not have any conflict with this file.

wow i had a problem but im not sure if it has something to do with this fix. when I bid for any player the value that I insert is not valid. for example if I make a bid of 15M for a player the other club declines it it because it recognises it as a 3M bid. and the same happens when someone tries to by any of my players for eg PSG and Borussia tried to buy zabaleta for 2M even though I asked for 20M..I dont know what to do but the only change that I made to the game was by instaling this fix. Do you think it has something to do with it?

I don't think this is anything at all related to these files and could possibly be a game bug. Try reporting it on the official forums...

Edit: Having seen the official forums, it seems it's a known issue with the latest version of the beta/demo...

I'm yet to try this, but I saw "Sports direct arena" in one of the files. St James' Park is not called that anymore, thanks to our almighty saviors - Wonga.com.

As I say, I'm yet to try the file, so sorry if this is an unnecessary flag.

I know these files do not make changes to the database, but I've found something a little odd. When starting a new game with a fresh/clean install Shaun Barker is out injured at Derby (as it should be). When starting a new game with these files installed he's fully fit. This used to be the case during the beta but it changed in one of the early patches - it seems to revert the game back to the older database. I checked the Derby Data Thread over at SI and the researcher confirms he changed it (I've not made any data changes myself).

I'm sure you're fully aware and it's an issue with it being based off a beta build which is fixed in the final version, but I thought I'd just give you a heads up

Thanks for the work gone in to this!

I still have to verify how Steam Workshop works, but I'd much rather retain this file on this site.

You're right, Sports Direct Arena is in the Stadium Name changes file, but the entry is disabled and it's not showing. Thanks for the input anyway, always better to have a false positive

It's probably due to the dbc files contained in my files which I copied from the beta and which have probably been modified by the time that the game was released. I'm installing the game now and hope to have a new version out reasonably soon.

I thought that would be the case, just thought I'd give you a heads up in case you used the old files as a basis for your new version considering SI haven't documented any DB changes.

Thanks again for making this - looking forward to starting my 'proper' save with this installed

Is this version working with fm 2014 14.1.2?


I tried playing with this. It worked, though for reasons I don't quite know, my game keeps crashing on day 1 without me even doing anything. Apparently, I'm missing 18 files from the game cache. Whether that's to do with this fix (Doubtful) or Steam bugging out on me (Definitely more believable), I'm not sure but as far as I could tell, yes.

tl;dr yeah it does. But it's not the full version, which should be coming out shortly
