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 2019 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Champions League, Europa League and Premier League displaying instead of EURO Cup, EURO Vase and Premier Division respectively. It will also fix the fact that the Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern manager has a fake name. These are all 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 Brazilian, 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. Brazilian clubs' text colours are also changed through an editor data file. 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.


Follow the below instructions to install this version of this file

STEP 1.
OPEN
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1900
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1910
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1930
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders

Notes:
\Program Files (x86)\
could be
\Program Files\
depending on your set up.

Mac
OPEN
 / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / SteamApps / common / Football Manager 2019 / data / database / db / 1900 
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
 / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / SteamApps / common / Football Manager 2019 / data / database / db / 1910 
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
 / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / SteamApps / common / Football Manager 2019 / data / database / db / 1930 
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders

You can find these folders by clicking, in the Finder, the Go menu in the menu bar, then choose Go to Folder and type the folder path name (obviously inserting your username), then click Go.

You can get to the Library folder by simply selecting Go from the top bar and holding "alt" key - The Library folder suddenly appears on the drop down

For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

For those struggling to find the Steam and Steam Apps folder etc using Mac with the new OS High Sierra, this link below shows how you can unhide your Library folder which will then let you find the other folders.

Slightly more detail in this post




OPEN
sdcard\Android\data\sportsinteractive.fm19\files\installed\data\\database\db\1900

OPEN
appdata-local-packages-SportsInteractive(with a lot of random numbers)-Localcache-Local-Microsoft-WriteablePackageRoot-data\database\db\1900
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
sdcard\appdata-local-packages-SportsInteractive(with a lot of random numbers)-Localcache-Local-Microsoft-WriteablePackageRoot-data\database\db\1910

OPEN
sdcard\appdata-local-packages-SportsInteractive(with a lot of random numbers)-Localcache-Local-Microsoft-WriteablePackageRoot-data\database\db\1930
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders



STEP 2:
COPY the dbc, edt and Inc folders from the downloaded pack

STEP 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.

These are what the respective folder structures should look like in the 1910 folders:

dbc/permanent: https://i.imgur.com/lozGizB.png
edt/permanent: https://i.imgur.com/duFkzcZ.png
lnc: https://i.imgur.com/luTKTAf.png

STEP 4:
COPY the 7 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack

STEP 5
PASTE to
\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\editor data

\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\\GAMEPASS\editor data


This should be what your editor data folder looks like now. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.

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, Japanese national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players are not in the official database and these will 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.

Hello there, I am not sure if it's the Team Fix or a SI problem, but I have a jersey color problem with my Korean team Anyang, they say I wear the purple shirt when I wear the white one and the white one when I wear the purple one... So I have a lot of game where I can't find my players as I wear the same jersey color than my oponent.

It's got nothing to do with this file, but an SI problem. The 3D kits created by SI are the wrong way round when compared to the colours assigned in the FM database. Download this file, extract it and place it in Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2019 / graphics. Happily for you, this fix is save-game compatible

That's probably the official 19.0.2 patch. The file will still work nonetheless. although you may wish to download the latest version of this file released just a few minutes ago

I've changed the colours like this:

I don't know how come it's looking like that. Here's what it looks like for me:

It appears that this fix only works with the English language, for some reason. The only way to get German club name changes in other languages is to manually apply the workaround in the first post...

Any changes included in the file will be mostly quite minor and the majority of them will be save-game compatible, but it's always good to have the latest version in place

Why dont we delete the files in db\1900 ?

My game still as SLB, FCP, Real Hispalis and Real San Sebastian names... whats the point of releasing this if this major bugs are not even corrected?

edit: I had to remove all the # before the CLUBS names.

There is an issue I can't fix since FM2018, Betis B is always R.Betis B, why ? I tried on the editor and on lnc files with no luck

The 1900 files aren't used at all when starting a new game, so they don't need to be touched at all. You can change them anyway if it makes you feel better.

As clearly specified in the main post and as has been the case for some years now, club name changes in this download aren't done through lnc files but through an editor data file, for the simple reason that changing club names through lnc files causes their nicknames to be lost. This means that club name changes need a new save game to be started. If this is not convenient for you or whoever is using the save game, there is a workaround listed in the opening post which gives the same result as the editor data file - but with the ensuing loss of nicknames.

There are screenshots in the main post demonstrating the clubs that you mentioned with their correct name in-game. If this fix isn't working for you, I'm afraid it's probably because you've not installed the files correctly. Can you give me a screenshot of your editor data folder?

Thans mons, I get it now.
Or you use one or the other one. I prefer lnc to be honest, I like to change the team name and it be applied straight in the game I'm playing without having to start a new one
I had to remove the # in all the lnc file for it to work

Will this also influence team colours like influences club nicknames ? Because I'm not being able to change any team colour, after starting a new game everything is exactly like before.
Even confirmed I'm using only the editor data file to make sure nothing is messing up with that. Am I missing something here ?

The only team colours this download affects are Brazilian teams', which are all jumbled up due to licensing reasons. This is done by the file Susie Real Name Fixes - Brazilian kit colour changes.fmf, which needs to be in place before starting a new game. Other than that, no other team colours are affected.

Keep in mind that, as from this year's FM, the text in the kits tab is now only for the colours during a match, I believe. In the pre-game editor, you can change a team's titlebar colours by changing the foreground and background colours in the details tab. Were you referring to any team colours in particular?

Maybe this is why, I always change the team colour by changing the text.
Didnt see they have a new place for the club colours in the details...

thanks you soooo much!

Looks like the last award isn't in the game, and I'm afraid I don't add any new awards, just edit existing ones.

These 4 have been added by SI in the official database - can you tell me the correct name in Czech please?
