Hi everyone, I have been surfing around trying to find ways of changing a nation's name but to no avail.

 

I kinda forgot how it came to be, but the Netherlands' long name in my FM save (original database) is “The Netherlands” instead of “Netherlands.” It is quite bothersome in all seriousness. When I attend matches—and other managers happen to present—the text will show “The The Netherlands and <other team> manager are watching from the stands” or something like that. I'm already deep in the game (now in 2032) and feels attached with the save, so I'm keen to find a solution.

 

I wonder if it is possible to change it in an existing save? I have tried editing the .lnc file by writing:

 

"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE"  784 "Netherlands" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 784 "Netherlands" ""

but nothing changes. However, when I tried adding Ajax's name in the same lnc file, it worked :/. Any help will be much appreciated! Thank you 😀

Seems that it should be  "NATION_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" Nation UID "Nation name" "" 

 

However, the name still has not changed 😢

Do you have the real name fix? If yes, you need to edit the respective entry in the Competitions and other Fixes.lnc file.

 

If not, your lnc file should include the below code, edited to your heart's content.

 

"NATION_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 784 "The Netherlands" "English"
"NATION_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 784 "Netherlands" "English"
