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 2022 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. 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, as well as Manchester Utd, 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. Another editor data file creates the Ajax non-playing staff and the German national team manager missing from the database due to licensing restrictions. 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

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 menu
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.
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 2240 folder:
dbc:
dbc/permanent:
edt/permanent:
lnc:
STEP 4:
COPY the 11 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack
STEP 5
PASTE to \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022\editor data
This is also the same folder to be used for Gamepass.
As stated by SI themselves, for Gamepass, however:
You are not able to change the user data location as such but you can use the user data folder in Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022 to store facepacks and graphics.
Equivalent folder for Mac
Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive
By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:
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 2022’[/spoiler]
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.
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 and German 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.

Oh thanks, I did it but it didnt work. I saw around the line 1305 the “Italian” name and in 1354. The line 1354 maybe overwrite that name. Now it works.

Am I right in thinking that club name changes don't need a new game to be started to take effect?
The only thing not changing for me is the Brazilian club team names. They didn't change, so I redownloaded and open the save, and they had changed but for some reason they have changed back. Everything else has changed German team names etc.
I've attached what my folder looks like, in case I'm missing anything.
mons
The Brazilian club name changes are effected by removing files from the original dbc/permanent folder, which is not being shown in your screenshot. As a rule of thumb, club name changes do need a new game to be started to take effect - as outlined in the main post.
RhylFCKiko
Also have this to add

my game is in english , but all the country names are in french ! why ?
mons
What other editor data files are you using?
Jean Min Lee
Team names have been updated but player names still appear as fake names. Any chance this last patch (rar file) is missing something? I wiped out dbc, edt, inc folders from the db and replace with what was in rar file.
mons
What do you mean by player names still appear as fake names? Which player names? At what team?
Jean Min Lee
Player names in the entire game still with fake names.
mons
You didn't tick the use fake players and staff option before starting a new game, did you? And you're not playing a pirated game?
The game by default uses real player names, and this file is only a fix for those issues in the main post.
Marc Calladine
no brexit and 50% less injurys
mons
Start a new game, making sure not to choose those files and see if that resolves the issue.
Christian L. Thomsen
why can i not download it, i already has a premium subscriptions ?
mons
a) You do not have a premiuem subscription. If you have just paid for it, just wait a short while until the payment is verified
b) You do not need premium membership to download this file. There's a big download button at the top right you need to click:
Christian L. Thomsen
thank you it weird, are sure that i has
Gee_Simpson
Do any of these files clash with Robbles Quin's Japanese editor data files from the SI forums?
mons
I have no idea, I haven't tested it yet. There is presently a bug in the editor which makes some files not work well with each other. Hopefully it gets fixed and I can confirm it's fine, because it's definitely a file I want to use myself too.
Gee_Simpson
That's a shame. I've asked in that thread the same question, maybe someone can confirm.
Gee_Simpson
Been told it works 👍🏻
Robert Lovell
Can confirm that It does work as I the creator have always used it with this 😉
mons
Excellent news. Great work - was a big fan of last year's file, nice to see it here too 🙂

Hallo Manager-Kollegen,
anscheinend bin ich zu doof bzw mache irgendwas falsch oder vergesse etwas. Habe mir das Update runter geladen, meine allen Tipps gefolgt zu sein, jedoch zeigt es mir den Hansi Flick nicht an, Manchester United und Juventus Turin haben auch noch ihre anderen Namen.
Muss ich im Editor auch noch was einbinden/laden ? Sorry, ich weiß, es steht überall eigentlich gut beschrieben, jedoch zeigt es bei mir keine Wirkung.
Habe folgenden Download geladen, wie auch dementsprechend nach Anweisung in die Ordner verpackt.
FM2022 Sortitoutsi Lizenzierung und Real Name Fix File v1.3
Vorher habe folgende Downloads getätigt:
ligen im fokus und sortitoutsi.netFM22 Data Update - 2021-11-28 04-11-20
Kann man eigentlich im Editor die Vereinsnamen, sowie auch Spielernamen willkürlich ändern, ohne das es zu Problemen kommen kann ?
Sorry, das ich frage. Bin ein Neuling mit Sega Football Manager, habe lange Zeit einen anderen Manager gespielt.
