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.

Club names 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.

I tried every option and i use only Windows Defender/Essential at Windows 10. When i download the older versions it gives no problem but the latest release gives malware detection somehow.

It's completely virus free, not sure what else I can say...
Send me a PM and I'll send it as an attachment, maybe that works...

I am running norton 360 and there are no issues at all with the download
mons
Yesterday evening, the user sent me a PM saying that he managed to download the file using another site mirror. As suspected, the virus error was a false positive...

Have you applied the files for every folder indicated in the installation instructions? Do the 5 lnc folders contained the three files displayed in the screenshot in the OP?

After loading the save game the changes not working any more. What to do? Chance the file in editor data?
mons
You'll have to be a bit more specific. What changes did you do? Can you upload screenshots of your game to display clearly what you mean?
Changing the contents of the editor data file won't affect save games but only new games.
nanya
Thanks. I've sorted it out.

There's locations for Macs given in the installation instructions, do they not work?

Haha, after a brief rummage downstairs, I can confirm I am still a bloke
Sorry I couldn't get to the bottom of it

If in the middle of a save game, the German national team will only be populated with real players once squads are called up. Also, the changes for Brazilian club names will only appear if this file is applied before starting a new game.
nanya
Oh. Thanks!

In one of the previous release, I made a change to Portuguese club names so that they do not lose their nicknames. If you applied this file before this minor update, you would need to undertake the procedure in the first post for Portuguese clubs only - a matter of seconds and it would be save game compatible
cruyff14
Sorted, cheers

alperaltun, who made a very similar post earlier on, sent me a PM saying that he managed to download it from uploaded.net eventually...

EDIT
did some digging and it appears the pathway has changed, easiest way to find the folder is to go to the library via 'go' and navigate through the folders listed.

I realized after applying your patch, the game allows 4 subs in the German Cup. In reality there are only 3 subs allowed just like in the league. Would it be possible to fix this?
Thanks
mons
I have made no edits to German Cup rules (or any other competition) and it's definitely nothing to do with these files. Either it's a bug in the game (in which case contact SI) or it's something within other editor data files you have downloaded (in which case contact the respective creator).

Do I have a way to change HSV for Hamburg or TFC for Toulouse and EAG for Guingamp by myself ? How can I do that ?
Thanks a lot.
