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.

Don't care
Competition names etc are absolutely fine, just those two teams are being stubborn.
mons
Are you applying the file before starting a new game or after having started a career?
ronystan
From PS TNI change to PS TIRA Bantul or simply PS TIRA, and their homebase moved from Bogor to Bantul. Their stadium change to Sultan Agung.

I have the same problem, and also have Atletico Pamplona instead of Osasuna and the German national team cannot be picked to manage.
I just started a new game with everything changed as described.
mons
If the changes don't work, then I'm afraid it looks like you didn't install the files correctly. If applied correctly, the files work without any problems
Can I please have screenshots of:
a) how the club names look in game; and
b) the various locations you install the files from this download?
Same for @Don, if you haven't solved it...

Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium will be renamed Marvel Stadium from September 1 in a 8-year deal with the Walt Disney company.

If you apply the files correctly, they are fixed. Please read the instructions on how to install them in the right manner
P.S. Brazilian club name changes need to be applied before starting a new game.

This might be a super-dumb question, but I just installed the game and I don't have a Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2018\ folder, and after searching for fake.lnc there isn't one anywhere else either. And yet I have the fake names.
If they aren't in Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2018\ where could they be?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
mons
Do you have Steam?
sebisthlm
Yeah, I have Steam, have downloaded the game and created two save games. I have Football manager 2016 in the Stemapps/common folder, but not FM18 for some reason. Searched the hard drive for fake.lnc but it wasn't found.
Here's my commons folder: https://imgur.com/a/3a385GY
mons
In Steam, go to Library and right-click FM18 and select Properties. Select the Local Files tab, then click on the Browser Local Files, as per the attached screenshot. That should take you to the installation folder.
sebisthlm
Man, you're a star! I had moved local files and completely forgotten about it! <3
