This file will need to be re-applied if/when official 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.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in the Beta, FM Touch 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 2018 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. The latter 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. Due to licensing reasons, the number of Ajax non-playing staff is quite small and this file contains a fix to restore them. 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.

PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.

If you had already used previous versions of this download, you will need to delete the files named:
Susie Real Name Fixes - Abdelhak Nouri removed_6B282152-37E5-4FFE-9159-07277A5FD537.fmf
and
Susie Real Name Fixes - Ajax staff FM18_51792081-6A2F-4EF3-8781-F6D8D9E2A331.fmf
from within the editor data folder as they are no longer needed. Retaining them will see a duplicate complement for Ajax staff members.
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. The Japanese national team will be populated along the same lines too, but any Japan-based players are not in the official database and need a third-party add-on to be created and added.
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.

Please help my sorry ass!

I believe you cannot really see the effect of the fix until the next time that the German national team names their squad for an upcoming fixture. It's at that time when the greyed out players in the national team squad should be replaced by actual real ones.
mons
This is it. If you apply the files in the middle of a save game, you have to wait until the next time that squads call up players for the actual real players to be called up...

I'm afraid I don't believe that is possible, no.

Just in time for the update, which I'm hoping will be tomorrow

Now that there's a new official update out (FM version 1.3) do I need to wait for a new version of this file or can I simply repeat the steps outlined above to reapply the fix?
Many thanks.
Grant.

I will upload a new version later tonight when I get home

I tried to re-apply for a new save and it didn't work. Hopefully a fix soon!
Grant MacDonald
Much appreciated!

Just 1 small thing to note:
If you had already used previous versions of this download, you will need to delete the files named:
Susie Real Name Fixes - Abdelhak Nouri removed_6B282152-37E5-4FFE-9159-07277A5FD537.fmf
and
Susie Real Name Fixes - Ajax staff FM18_51792081-6A2F-4EF3-8781-F6D8D9E2A331.fmf
from within the editor data folder as they are no longer needed in the 18.3.0 database since the Ajax staff are included in this version and Abdelhak Nouri is no longer visible. Retaining them will see a duplicate complement for Ajax staff members.
I will shortly address all the queries made since I was last online
mons
Try with the new files
You should be fine, then. To be safe, I would suggest downloading and applying this download for the 1830 folder only, and copying the 3 files in the 1830 lnc folder into the 1800 and 1810 lnc folder. This to get the latest stadium, city, competition and award changes, all of which are save-game compatible. This is not strictly necessary, of course
File now out.
18.3.0 contains the full Ajax staff complement so that particular file is no longer needed. Please delete it
It's gone in just in time
