I suggest everybody clicks the "Notify me when updated" button to receive an email when the file is updated/amended in the future.
This file will need to be re-applied if/when 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.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2016 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German National team doesn't call up real players. These are 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 German, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, with 26 media files added to encompass all major footballing nations and continents. 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 these files to work, however, you will need to start a new game.
Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical, although of course you use the equivalent folder for FM16.
Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this version of this file
Step 1: Go to
PC
Slightly more detail in this post
Linux
Android:
Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the path above
Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folders mentioned in step 1.
Step 4: Go to:
Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and select the folder named "FM16 Real Names Fix Files from sortitoutsi.net v2.1".
Step 7: Paste the circled folder directly into the folder mentioned in step 5.
Take care to remove any previous versions of this file
Step 8: This should be what your editor data folder looks like. There may also be a config.xml file in this folder and can be safely retained; 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, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly. Club names (including the German ones) 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.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in FMC. There's a workaround for that in the first post.

Open the City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc file. All the changes I've made in the editor data file are included in this file, however they are preceded by a hashtag (#) which makes the lnc file ignore any text following it.
You can remove the hashtags from in front of any of the "CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" and "CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" codes which you wish to change, and this will display these changes in your save game.
Basically, instead of

Been a die hard FM user for years but always shirk away from these sort of things, going to delve right in to it this year with this file etc once the full game is launched and steady.

As explained above, you have to apply this file before starting a new game in order to get the name changes.

Thanks for that - I'll have to fix it for the full version of the file

I sent you Turkish informations previously. You know. Some Turkish characters could not be added. Fix these lines and I'll send it to you. Wait for me pls.
Please use only NotePad++ (freeware, professional, multi-tabbed and easy) with "UTF-8 without BOM" selection for new text files, use "Convert to UTF-8 without BOM" now. Turkish characters will be able to see when added.
Thx.

Fantastic as usual but just a quick theme which you did last year. On the background header you added the competitions colours, so for Europa League dark orange/yellow and CL. Could you please change in next update? I have added a pic if you have got confused what I am talking about!

As you can see, Champs League background is same as Europa League

When out new patch / update you need to start a new save because the file that fixes the names of the teams?
Jubez
I'm not completely sure what you are asking, but you don't need to start a new game to get the fake names fixed. The renamed competitions and teams require a new save though as those files are loaded when the game is created. You will have to re-apply the fix when a new major patch is released, but. it won't require a new save game.

Make sure you have installed the editor data files correctly and that they are in place BEFORE starting a new game.

There is nothing which can be done from our end re the missing Japan-based players. They are hard-coded not to appear. Your best bet is to wait for widehawk to release his annual Japan league and database patch, which would give you the missing Japanese players and the ability to start a save-game with a Japanese club.
