If you have already started a save-game and wish to change German, Spanish, Italian and French club names to the correct ones, there is a workaround. However, you will lose the club nicknames.

Open the City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc file with Notepad (on Windows) and TextEdit (on Mac). 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 ensure these changes are displayed in your save game.

For Notepad, all you need to do is: Select the edit menu, click the replace option, type #"CLUB in the first field and "CLUB in the second and click replace all. Then save and close. Shouldn't take more than 3 seconds if you do it right 🙂

Instead of

#"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern München" ""
#"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern" ""

you should have

"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern München" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern" ""

Basically:
Using an lnc
Pro: Can be used (and disabled) after a save game has been started
Con: Removes club nicknames for those teams whose name has been edited

Using the editor data file
Pro: Retains club nicknames
Con: Needs to be applied before starting a new game

Hello man, I'm a Mac user

My problem is that, on TextEdit, there is no # before like you're saying, for example, it appears like that :

# Austria
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 16001176 "Sportverein Sedda Bad Schallerbach" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 16010529 "Turn- und Sportverein Sparkasse Pöllau" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 16009263 "Sportverein Prater - Elektra" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 5602988 "Sportvereinigung Reichenau - Innsbruck" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 137969 "Sportverein Oberwinkler Lendorf" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 137969 "SV Lendorf" ""

I've already started a save with OM, and I can't update your changes unless I start a new career…

Any solution please ?
