If you are playing an FM23 save in FM24, then this fix needs to be also installed in the below folders:
If you have any issues, first read the FAQ.
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 2024 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 National team doesn't call up real players. These fixes are all fully save-game compatible.
The following are not included in the beta version of this file. 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 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
STEP 1.
If you are playing an FM23 save in FM24, then this fix needs to be also installed in the folders in the below image IN ADDITION TO THOSE INDICATED BELOW the image:
OPEN

DELETE only the dbc , edt and lnc folders
The easiest way to get to these folders is by going to Finder > Go > Go to Folder and copy and paste these exact paths and you will be taken to the right places ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2024/data/database/db/2400/
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:
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 2430 folder:
dbc:
dbc/permanent:
edt/permanent:
lnc:
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 2024\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 2024’
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 2024 / editor data
Equivalent folder for Epic Games
/Users / [your user] / Library / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2024 / 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, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not immediately.
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.
The final version of this download for the default database can be downloaded from here.

Yeah… don't wait for me, I can't help. Can't even import the 2430 DBCs to take a look at them. Completely stumped
mons
New version now available, mostly to sort issues related with the Ajax staff.
primavera
Thanks for the update mons!
gggfunk
As always, thanks for the fix @mons !
I'm trying to understand how it really works and it would be great if you could clarify one thing for me:
I will apply the fix now, then start a new save and keep playing it. Then, when the next final update arrives, I will install the next version of your fix. Will the save that I started today be still working without any issues then? I ask because when the final update comes I'll start another save, but will still want to be able to come back to the today's save from time to time.
Do I understand correctly that the moment a save is created the game doesn't bother about the editor files from your fix as they are already saved within the save?
Basically what I'm trying to find out is that if applying the new fix after a game's update causes any issues to the previously started save.
mons
Yes to the bit in bold, and no to the underlined bit.

thanks for the fix!

Sorted it - thanks.

Do you think your fix could have anything with my game crashing on certain date? I started a Wolfsburg save and it always crashing on June 18th 2024. Going for holiday doesn't help as it crashes anyway. I don't use any custom leagues, just custom graphics and your fix.
mons
No idea, mate, sorry.
Johno
Ignore,
gggfunk
If I start my fresh new save now do I still need to do changes in 2400 folder or just in 2430 is enough?
MrTPo
in both

Hi @mons after applying the fixes in an existing save I followed the steps for applying it to an existing save.
But now, during a match, the Players names have disappeared… is that a known issue or just happening to me?
I appreciate any help.
mons
Never heard of the issue before, so it's extremely unlikely to be caused by this file, you'd think. Cannot tell if it's caused by installing this fix somehow wrongly or an editor data file.
argentino23
Weird one indeed. I reloaded the skin and now it all seems to work as before.
Thanks again for this fix!

I've bought FM24 today and after I apply the real name fix, my game crashes on booting, it never reach the loading screen before the main menu. But If In restore de 2400 and 2430 db it launches without a problem. Anyone has this problem ? How do I solve it ?

I once again point out that “Allsvenskan” is called “Allsvenskan” and not “Allsvenskan Unibet”, and “Superettan” is called “Superettan”. While they have sponsors in their logo, the official name is still just Allsvenskan and Superettan
