If you're playing FM Touch, use this file.
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 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 2021 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.
These are what the respective folder structures should look like in the 2140 folder:

STEP 4:
COPY the 10 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack
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 2021’
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.

Here is a screenshot of a player profile. I also have Steaua on the club profile. Language Dutch; 0.3 version
mons
I suspect it's because you're playing in Dutch. Can you change language to English and see if it still appears the same?
Carsie

Of course it is. There are screenshots in the first post of in-game fixes which should serve as proof that this download works.
There is a very small percentage of stuff which can't be fixed until the full game and the editor are released on the 24th, but if nothing's working for you, then I'm afraid it's because you haven't installed it properly.
If you want to tell us what, exactly, isn't working for you and provide us with screenshots of the locations you've installed it in, then perhaps we can assist you in getting this fix to work.

Scroll up push the the green button on the right and 2 sek. later you have the files. In other words the download works. just tested it my self.

Very minor stuff, mostly things pointed out to be in this thread which needed changing.
I don't really have the time to provide an itemised changelist every time I announce a new release, plus I usually give a brief overview when I release it anyway 😉
You can certainly live without it, but it's a 1MB download which takes 5 seconds to download and install, so you might as well get it 👍
Georgios Pesios
Fixed! I copy-pasted the folders again but I think the issue was I had to start a new game. I re-read the instructions a few times and finally noticed that line in there! Thanks.
antuono
Hello guys, silly question here: are all these packages compatibile with the version for MAC ?Edit:
I think so
JacopoB
Thank you
mons
There's a fix for that here, which can be used alongside this download without any issues.
I'm not adding it to this download due to the fact that it will be redundant when the full version of this download is released but will still remain on users' systems until manually deleted, which may cause conflicts further down the line.
wfm18
No, also in English the team is also called Steaua for me. When I open the language files FCSB is not present when I search for it with CTRL+F. Maybe add it so it will overwrite for sure?
Juventus issues too; but here the B Team is called 'Juventus F.C. U23', while when I open a player the team is called 'Zebre U23', while Juventus itself does work (some players have both Zebre U23 and Juventus on their profile).
Deleted and added all folders from the zip again to both folders 2100 and 2101, still no effect. Will try a new savegame tomorrow again
nicketc

There is no entry in this file for FSCB because it's already fine in the game as is. I can't understand why it's displaying as Steaua for you 😕 Are you using another version of this download perchance?
Are you sure you're using v0.3 of this file? I think the Zebre U23 short club name wasn't fixed by v0.2.
These are the files which will be included in the editor data files section of this download once the full game is released.
At this stage, too much work has gone into the Club Name Changes file to move any of it into a separate file.

raumdeuter13
seems like there are short name competition are not changed,
like Premier League still PRM (I hope PL or EPL), Champions League still ECC, etc.
let's hope someone fix it in next version, thanks.
mons
Why not both? Download it now, and use it in your beta save then download v1.0 when it's released on the 24th. It's a 1 MB file which takes 20 seconds to download and install, it's not like it'll take you loads of time to do so.
That file cannot be released until the game is released on the 24th and I get my hands on the editor to verify the files. As can be seen from my post just before yours, the files are ready to go, but they can't work until then.
Gee_Simpson
I will be waiting as apparently there will be data updates for the official release, players like Alphonso Davies for example are in need of an upgrade.
mons
I very much doubt there will be too many data updates at this late stage, maybe only if a high-profile free transfer or manager movement happens. Irrespective of that, this download is completely independent of all that and having it place now in no way stops you or forbids you from getting any such updates in the future since person attributes and this fix use completely different files,
Gee_Simpson
Yeah I understand, I'll use it if I play a save in the beta 👍
wfm18
Ah so sorry for taking your time.
I switched the language from the game not the data; so FCSB works in EN. However, Juventus U23 is still Zebre U23, also in a new savegame.
Btw; Will the missing Ajax staff (Bogarde, Reiziger, Heitinga and so on) be added too?
Stato_M
Carsie
My fault i forgot to add it into 2101 but had it in 2100 & 2110
mons
Juventus U23 is fixed for me 😕
As for the missing Ajax staff, if the community can provide these then they will certainly be added to the file. I'm afraid I just don't have the time to do them myself.
That fix cannot be added to this download until the full game and the editor are released on the 24th.

I'm not adding it to this download due to the fact that it will be redundant when the full version of this download is released but will still remain on users' systems until manually deleted, which may cause conflicts further down the line.
So it works for you now?
Drajen
mons
If you used this download, I don't see any reason why it should be impossible. Same goes for previous versions.
I'm not on my PC right now to verify it, unfortunately.
jambo4life1874

Right on both counts. The respective entries will be fixed for the next release of this file, which fixes will be save-game compatible 👍
