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 2023 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Premier League displaying instead of Premier Division. 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 Napoli) 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.

Alternatively 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:

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 2340 folder:

STEP 4:
COPY the 9 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack
STEP 5
PASTE to \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\editor data
This is also the same folder to be used for Gamepass.
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 2023’
Equivalent folder for Steam Deck
devices / home / deck / .local / share / Steam / steamapps / compatdata / 1904540 / pfx / drive_c / users / steamuser / My Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2023 / 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 English Premier Division in your saved game, and it should be renamed to Premier League. If you are in the middle of a save-game when you install this download, 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.

UEFA Data Revision COMPLETED 14-01-2023
Here we go, after 3 weeks of hard research work I am proud to report that I have COMPLETED the review of ALL the nations that are part of the UEFA region.
I did my best, there are some doubts that I hope sooner or later someone will be able to answer by reading inside the posts, but for the moment everything is complete.
I spoke privately with mons and will evaluate (after a break) which region to start from for the next edits.
PzSniper
Hi, thank for you contribution but i have to point out that the datas are incorrect because from January 2023 the main sponsor has changed see: https://www.ligapro.ec/ and Twitter @LigaProEC. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serie_A_de_Ecuador and https://onefootball.com/es/noticias/video-oficial-el-campeonato-ecuatoriano-se-llamara-ligapro-bet593-36579756
Right now i have finished to check all the UEFA nations, and i have found a good method to do multiple info checking's, but for now i have fixed these 2 competition for you and already included them in my WIP file.

Hi @PzSniper , first I want to apologize for my words in the previous post among the situation with @mons .
Hereby I made some suggestions in the spoiler to optimize the Belgian league. Since I'm Belgian and dedicated to Belgian football system…
: I added something in the notes (that you've probably forgotten)
: I added new lines (especially for the french spoken side)
At least I want to show something how the league system in Belgium works (because I think much of the written lines in the ‘lnc’ ‘competition and other fixes’ folder don't exist, like proximus league, etc… I didn't want to delete them):

Hi Mons has your latest update got the premier sports cup as the viaplay cup now.
Ignacio Espinoza Osses
Hi the first division of chile change his name to Campeonato Betsson:

I prefer not to have sponsor names in the short name and to have them only in the long name. I also prefer not to have football as part of names, as it's a football competition so it's self-evident.
With this in mind, would you say the below amendments would be correct?

This seems to be the same as what's currently in the database, no? 😕
Not yet, as I don't intend to release a new version of this file just yet, but you can easily open the Competitions and other Fixes.lnc file with Notepad, find the current entry and replace it with:

Cheers Mons.
Gary Davies
Why is the download link not working?
mons
Working fine at my end.
Can you describe exactly what's happening? Clicking the download button will take you to another page, whence the file downloads a few seconds afterwards.
Gary Davies
After clicking the page refreshes and it still on the page prior to the download
mons
Can I have a screenshot of the page in question?
It might be due to a browser extension tbh. Try downloading it in incognito mode, or equivalent version if not using Chrome.
Gary Davies
I am using Chrome but have tried in edge and also IE. It just reloads to the same screen
mons
And you're pressing this button, right?
Thewes
Maybe, but they had a different name in my save.
mons
Perhaps it's something which was changed in a different editor data file then.
Salvatore Ruggero
So I had a saved game with Monza, and I did all the steps correctly that were shown (replacing all #"club with "club), but the names still haven't changed in my save. Any advice?
