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 and when the full game comes out 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.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in FMT or in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2017 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 and Japanese National teams don'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, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most 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 the files in this paragraph to work, however, you will need to start a new game.

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.

Did you install the fix after starting a save game? If yes, you need to do the workaround in the first post.
zarko_safc
i did, but then i've decided to start a new game to implement the changes. leagues have changed but when selecting club to manage, they're still the same.

No, leave them there.
Can I have a screenshot of where you installed the editor data files pls?
1966
mons
Strange, never had this before. Can I have a screenshot of the error message? Are you trying to extract the file with WinRar?
1966
No, just following the instructions of deleting the folders as above and it keeps saying need permission from admin?
mons
Can you not insert your user details when prompted or, alternatively, change your User Permissions accordingly? Not sure what I can do as it seems to be an issue with your setup rather than this file...
Albu Gabi
All the folders and editor data? Only lnc? Only editor?
Thanks
1966
No sir. I can post a print screen if you like?

mons
You're fine to carry on

Thank you for your help muchly appreciated sir.

Yes, it does. How can you tell it isn't working? Can you please upload screenshots of the locations you placed the files in?

@1966 - how did you solve this issue please?
FMraynor
Nope I've not been able to fix it yet and it just won't work at all, for some reason It won't let me delete the folders mentioned?
mons
Can I get screenshots of the folders you're trying to delete?
One way around it could be to delete the file contents and put the ones from this download instead.
FMraynor
Thanks, this is it, I just can't override it
mons
Have you tried deleting the contents of each folder separately? Or even deleting the folders one by one (instead of together as you are doing)?
FMraynor
Thanks so much, finally got it to work! Thanks for replying so quickly too!
mons
No worries, thanks to the push notifications I get informed immediately when I am quoted and I happened to be on my PC. Good to hear it works, enjoy

I know it's not related to this download, but just to let you know, claassen's league files all have to be inside the main editor data folder, and not inside sub-folders, as they won't work in this way.
I am assuming the dbc and edt folders are the same in all the other folders. Everything looks fine there.
I still don't know, though, what isn't working and whether you applied these files before or after having started your save-game.

Arizona United changed name to Phoenix Rising FC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Rising_FC)
is this possible to change ? (=
afromen86
and it also does say to delete all 3 folders from 1700,1701,1710 and 1712 but to paste new ones only in the first three folders - is that correct?
From where I can download the editor data folder or the complete pack?
