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.

If you want to get the 1430 update it should happen automatically update through Steam.

As for Joon Woon, are you sure you didn't untick the use real players box when starting a new game? Try starting a new game and see what happens.

thank you very much for your response
but where is the "use real players box" ?!
and i'm saying again my problem is not fake players ! players are right every team got the right players and every player attributes is exactly correct
the problem is the names are fake ! and the names changes by minutes !!
for example there is someone exactly like ronaldo in real madrid ! and also got the right picture ! but the name is something else ! and it changesh minute by minute ! !
i think maybe mons is right ! i got the wrong version

I am aware of that, but since there is no mention in the installation instructions to verify the integrity of the game cache, it is not something I thought anybody would ever do. Apart from those two folders, it also recreates the team_holland.edt file in the edt folder...

All's well that ends well, and keep it in mind for any future iterations of this file


Sounds good.

Yeah, that's not something you ever instructed anyone to do in the first post.
It's just something some of us have been told to do to apparently helps avoid crash dumps, etc. Now that I know it messes up the good work done here, I won't be doing that and it's good that others reading this won't either.

Take care and keep up the good work.

They do, you've just installed it incorrectly. Do take the time to read the instructions thoroughly and follow all the steps listed.

This change was not included in the file and it won't be visible. It has been added and will be included in the FM15 version of this file.

As regards the Turkish competition names, can you place the 3 lnc files from the 1430 folder into the 1400 one and see if the issue is solved?

My mistake, this. You've downloaded the correct file, which is misnamed, so please ignore the incorrect name and install it normally


No not solved

I have a query, with the new kits for this season updated. How do you change the kit colours on scoreboard etc in game? For example Liverpool, who has a yellow away kit in the new season, in my highlights the colour has defaulted back to 13/14 kit colour. Any help is appreciated

There is a difference between the kit image displayed in the information screen, the kit displayed in the match engine and the text colours displayed during the match.

The first and second ones can be changed in the middle of a save game, and you can download the respective kits from the SS kits and 3D Kits forums respectively. The third one can only be edited in the middle of a save-game with a save-game editor.

Hope this helps.

For some reason this has stopped working and has started behaving strange.

I have renamed some club names as I prefer them using the same format in the City, Clubs and Stadium Names.Inc file. This worked all the time up until a couple of days ago. This is where it behaves a little strange. When I start a game the club names are as I have edited them which is fine, but then after getting a couple of months into a season, the names revert back to the default names.

And for some reason now the game seems to disregard the Competitions and Other Fixes.Inc file. Louis van Gaal is still called Jan Janssen, and the Skrill Premier doesnt change to the Vanarama Premier.

I have an original copy of the game which I bought off steam.

I have added LFCMarshalls FM14 update to my game, but when I don't use that editor file, the changes still don't work so I cant see that being the issue.

Like I say, this worked up until a few days ago and I hadn't made any changes to the files to make it stop working.

Hmm, that's strange.

Can you double-check that both the 1400>lnc and 1430>lnc folders only have the three files from this download contained therein and no more?

Seems to work now, think there was something wrong with not having the same files in both th 1400 and 1430 folder. I ended up reinstalling and putting the files in again and that seemed to fix it.

Thanks for your help

Works like a charm. No problems on my save game as far as I can see. I just loaded my Forest Green Rovers in the EPL 2017-18 season and everything looks tip top. Thanks Mons!

Use winrar to open the file you've downloaded. And make sure you read the installation steps thoroughly to avoid trouble later...

Competition, stadium, award and city names can be changed in the middle of save-games, as does the fix of the German national team. Club name changes and the insertion of media sources need a new game to be started to take effect, however.

I've modified the entries mentioned above, but retained the ones with other UIDs in case they are retained in the db as extinct competitions. This would mean they are displayed in the histories and honours of clubs and retaining them will mean consistency in competition names throughout the country

at the moment the fa cup has no sponsor which could change during the season.
