I suggest everybody clicks the "Notify me when updated" button to receive an email when the file is updated/amended in the future.
This file 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 automatically re-installed by Steam when official patches come out.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2016 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 German, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, with 26 media files added to encompass all major footballing nations and continents. 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 FM16.
Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this version of this file
Step 1: Go to
PC
Slightly more detail in this post
Linux
Android:
Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the path above
Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folders mentioned in step 1.
Step 4: Go to:
Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and select the folder named "FM16 Real Names Fix Files from sortitoutsi.net v2.1".
Step 7: Paste the circled folder directly into the folder mentioned in step 5.
Take care to remove any previous versions of this file
Step 8: This should be what your editor data folder looks like. There may also be a config.xml file in this folder and can be safely retained; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.
To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase in your saved game, 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. Club names (including the German ones) are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in FMC. There's a workaround for that in the first post.

i know this is a long shot, but...
Is there any solution for the IOS version of FM Touch 2016?
Really sucks playing with SLB instead of Benfica!
mons
I'm afraid somebody using IOS will have to help you. I'm on a Windows PC
Keyzer Soze
Thks for the reply.

Is it still 16.1.1 when I play?
mons
16.1.1 is the game version.
16.0.1 is the database version.
Both are separate entities, and the latest version of each, so crack on!

This is commonly an issue with pirated version of the game. Are you running an original version?

After one season the German national team is playing the euros with fake players how can I fix this. Also the name of the champions cup and euro cup never changed to champions league and euro league but the names of the clubs seem to be changed correctly.
Any help ????

Hi fellow Malteser
If you open the 1600 and 1601 lnc folders, you should have the three lnc folders from this download within. If there are folders named greek and all, then delete them

I do have an issue though. I always like to have everything set up and ready to go before I start a game, however when starting a new game I notice that the German club teams still have their fake names. I placed the name fix folder in the "Football Manager 2016\editor data" folder (I had to create the "editor data" folder as there was not one already). I've tried deleting the folders and starting again but I still get the same issue.
Any idea what I have done wrong?

One quick question regarding the dbc editor files:
i see that for example in the "Turkish media" dbc there is the media "Galatasaray resmi..." with Unique ID 90025733.
The same unique ID is in the media "Kurir" in the "Balkan media" dbc file.
If i load both dbc's when the game starts which one of the above media will be active??
Shouldn't each added media in the dbc's have a different id?
Hope I'm making sense..
mons
Do you perchance have two Sports Interactive folders in your Documents folder? If yes, then the files need to go in the other folder to the one you're using.
Since each file is created separately, it stands to reason that there will be common UIDs in different files. Apart from the Unique ID, there is a hidden random ID. This means that, when files are loaded which have the same UIDs involved, the game automatically re-assigns them to ensure there is no conflict.
I.e. There is nothing to worry about

Nope. I only have one. Strangely though, it has started working without me doing anything since the last attempt. I had the same issue with the graphics as well where only one team of a kit pack worked, Next time I look and all but one work and then eventually they all worked and the only thing I done was keep refreshing the cache as everything seemed to be right.
I have a feeling fm 16 is going to be temperamental. Thanks for your help anyway

No idea what on earth you mean, but chances are it's got nothing to do with this file.
Is that Portuguese? I'm sorry I don't speak it...

well since i've put the file working my first division from poland got upgraded and every player looks like ronaldo ( in stasts )... Can you please check if it appends in yours too...? i've played in europa league against Jagiellonia from that division and lost 9-0... them went to see the player stats from that team and they were ridiculous...
mons
This file does not change any player stats at all

charismaticlg
Ok i think i found the problem... don't now if the file is causing the problem or the game itself... please look into it... it appends with the non existing players... when a team doesn't have players the game creates then and they all came whit 20 overall stats...please look into it, someone with the file in and someone witouth it
mons
Will do
It doesn't seem to be a universal issue, and it's certainly not caused by these files..
charismaticlg
I think its a bug from the game... when ever it creates players to fill the empty squads they are all super beasts... try to take over a small division club and then see the young squad and you will see, if they are not there then release the current players and it ill gave you new ones super powered
