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.

No worries, happy to see you solve the issue

As far as I can tell, those are the correct short names, as seen on the official MLS website. The correct long name can be viewed in the respective clubs' screens

Are you in the middle of a career already or are you about to start a new game? I ask as the method to make the change is different

Open you pre-game editor, make the changes you want and save them as a separate file. This way you can use it also in the future

I think that's the error. Just needs the 1 changing to a 2 at the end for Girone C

I see, noted and I'll fix it in any next version of the file

Hi Mons,
do you have an idea of when the new version of the file will be released?
Thanks
mons
Sorry, mate, only seeing this now.
Looks like you have installed it not in the correct manner. Can you post screenshots of the folders displayed in the main post as they look like on your computer? This can help me spot what's wrong...
Possibly next week.
b13v3r
PEC ZWOLLE = MAC³PARK stadion
Excelsior = Van Donge & De Roo Stadion
ado den haag = Cars Jeans Stadion
groningen = NoordLease Stadion
coach.ita
Obviously I will always have to start a new game to get these new changes, correct?
mons
The Italian competition name changes should still work in your existing save game. You can even do them now if you can't wait for me to do it
The only things which won't work in an existing save game are club name changes, and I don't think there's any of them, and if there are, there's only a handful...
coach.ita
Thanks for the explanation
mrjejal0306
Did you mean these? It worked perfectly when I applied previous fixes, but after the new update, it turned out like this
mons
Some of claassen's league files don't work with 18.3 because of changes in SI's database affecting those files. Can you try removing them temporarily and only having the Susie Real Name Fixes file inside the editor data folder when starting FM up?
Everything else appears fine
mrjejal0306
Still no luck,mate. I've taken out everything except the Susie Real Name Fixes file inside the editor data folder, but the same pop up keeps appearing and it crashed again. Do you have any other ideas on the cause of it?
mons
I'm all out of ideas, sorry. Everything appears to be in order but clearly your FM seems to have some trouble with the files in this download. Can you try deleting the files one by one and seeing if a particular file out of the 5 is the issue?
mrjejal0306
I think I've figured out the problem. I think something's wrong with my Graphics folder. When I applied your latest fix, I download the new cut out facepack update as well. After I removed the facepack folder and applied the fix, the problem's gone. Thank you for your help. Cheers mate.
mons
Happy to see you solved your problem

Cheers

Hi!
I still have the older versions of the fix on my HD. I'll send you the 1.3 version through a private message.
Just a minute.

Please make sure all the lnc folders have the same files contained in it as the ones in the screenshot in the main post. If this is the case, then please wait for the next call-up for real German players to appear.
mons
They're all in the correct name in the default SI database already
