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, do NOT apply in 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 2020 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 German and Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach managers have fake names. 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 (including Juventus) 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.

STEP 2:
COPY the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the downloaded pack
STEP 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.

STEP 5
PASTE to
Open Finder
Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2020’
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 immediately. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players, who are not in the official database and 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.

I have no idea what you mean. If you are using a custom skin, either use a default one or update your existing skin.

Nope, leave it there.

i have a question.
i download the sortitoutsi Live Update but the Loans are not in :/
Coutinho is Barca Player , only Loans.
The transfers are correct
can you help me ?
mons
That's something to take up with the people who take care of the Live Update, and it's got nothing to do with this download.
As far as I can tell, the live update is for FM19, not FM20, so that may be the cause of it
Johno77
Apologies if this is a stupid question!
mons
These files only change the way names are displayed (i.e. cosmetically) and do not affect and influence the internal workings of the game
Rivanov
Already bought the In-Game Editor but can't seem to change it from there?
mons
All you would need to do is add the below line to the Competitions and other Fixes.lnc files
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 680 "Manchester United" ""
This should be save-game compatible but will however mean that their nickname is lost.
Rivanov
Do I need to edit this file in every directory or only in the latest directory (\database\db\2010\lnc)
mons
I suspect the last one should be enough, but best to do it in all of them
Actually, it would be better if you created an lnc file just for that change. Because otherwise, future versions of this download would delete it and you'd have to do it again every time

I imagine so, but as I don't have it, I don't really know the steps to do so. If somebody would be so kind to share...

after the promotion in Serie C, professional league, the D is deleted, an example: Palermo SSD after promotion in Serie C renamed Palermo SS
i modified all the d, after this if you want i link my job.
mons
I understand what you mean, but at this point in time, the D is in the clubs' names, so I won't be removing it for the time being. It's certainly something to keep in mind for when I'm a bit less busy, though
Rivanov
It worked. Only changed the file in the 2010 folder.
I edited City, Club and Stadium Names.Inc
mons
Good to hear. Then make a mental note to add it again when a new version of this file is released

I have a problem with this FM2020 Licensing and Real Name Fix files. All is perfect except for the brazilian clubs : it doesn't fix their names.
It's strange but all graphic adds work too (logos and kits)... .... except for brazilian clubs !!
I can't find the solution. Somebody has an idea ?
Thanks in advance.
mons
Did you apply the file before starting a new game? If yes and it's still not working, can I have a screenshot of your dbc/permanent folders?

Move UEFA Competition Colour Changes.lnc to /2010/lnc
Windows - \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2020\data\database\db\2010\lnc
Mac - /Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2020/data/database/db/2010/lnc
mons
An earlier version of this file included those competition colours, or ones very close to them, but it meant that the Metallic logos didn't display so well, so I changed them around...

have purchased the new game today, and am guessing there's one or two updates
thanks
