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.

please, any one can help me . What wrong with me, Why it can not working?

You also need to install the dbc, edt and lnc folders in the correct place as well, not just the editor data files.

Please don't post repeatedly in the thread - I'll reply when I can. Posting 5 times in the middle of the night won't make me reply any quicker.

No, absolutely the wrong place - did you not read the readme or the installation instructions?

This is where they should be installed...

In finnish kakkonen there are four sub-divisions(north,south, east and west) but in the fix there were two western groups and no eastern.. I Changed the names with editor, but when starting a new game everething remains as it was. The names keep changing back everytime when you restart editor. Also tried to make a new editor file with name changes, but it does not work.

I also changed the name from "competitions and other fixes" but the changes dont apply in the game.

Works now.

Can you share the contents of your competitions lnc file so that this fix can make it into any upcoming update?

Mons...The people that are saying fake players are still showing in their game are looking at the Germany national team..What you should say is that need real names will show is when the next Germany squad is announced for fixture Germany are playing in.

Makes sense, but if they don't explain clearly, then I've no way of knowing, unfortunately. As for the proper German national team appearing when teams are next called up, I reckon I've said it a couple of times each page, at least. And in the opening post. Not sure I can do more than that

Yes, the issue solves itself once you purchase an original version of the game.

What names are not real? A screenshot and a bit more detail would help...

These files work fine, so it's probably a case of you messing up the installation. What kind of weird names are displayed?

Again, a screenshot of your dbc, edt and lnc folders would help...
