#876538 FM26 Real Name Fix v5.0 - for FM26.3.1 [26/05/2026] - USE THE WORKAROUND IN THE FIRST POST IF SOME CLUB NAME CHANGES AREN'T WORKING
bigpole
I mean, the 1st post also says that you have to delete folders. So probably you've installed this wrong at the first place. But I'm glad that you've fixed this yourself.

There is something you could but definitely should do - read the 1st post and use the workaround.
#875917 FM24/26 facepack for people added in the Data Update - Technical Support thread

To be fair, I don't remember that something changed in terms of generating xml files. Each update has all the faces from all previous megapacks and updates.
@mons - can you confirm this?
#875820 FM24/26 facepack for people added in the Data Update - Technical Support thread

Your config file is way to small. it should be around 40mb, not 0.1mb.
Repack your faces once again and check the file size.

#874873 FM26 Real Name Fix v5.0 - for FM26.3.1 [26/05/2026] - USE THE WORKAROUND IN THE FIRST POST IF SOME CLUB NAME CHANGES AREN'T WORKING

My method is always - delete these 3 folders (dbc, edt, lnc) from every ‘folder with number’ (every 26.0, 26.2 and other similar folders) and paste 3 folders from fix. And make sure to select all editor data files when creating a new game through advanced setup.
If something was not working, it was because due to my mistake, not the fix.
That's why me and mons are sometimes tired of reminding everyone how to apply the fix, because when you dive deeper into individual issues, 95% of them is applying the fix wrong (which can be solved by watching 250 youtube videos on how to do it or following the main post).
And because folders on mac are similar to windows, I sometimes wish the players would record the process of downloading, copy/pasting and launching the game.

I mean, the installation process is basically the same in each fm. You delete all edt dbc and lnc folders from each 26.0, 26.2 folder and copy the ones from the fix.
AND you select all editor data files when starting a new game (it's important to click advanced setup).
And voila.

If you load a file with leagues added, you should have test rules button. Or when you add rules in the editor yourself. Otherwise, it's greyed.

The workaround is for existing saves, normally, when you install the files correctly with the instruction (and select all the editor files when creating a new game), there's no problem with italy/spanish names.
All you have to do each time is delete dbc, edt and lnc files and paste them from the fix.

The issue is De Cat was not in fm24 original game so you've added him through some additional file. His UID in the megapack is correct, the one in the game is randomly generated.

Because believe or not - if you follow all the instructions, it works.
When you load all the editor data files and replace all the necessary folders, it works. I understand, that you might be irritated, but some people just don't follow the instructions or have editor data files not loaded.
FM26 is a bit broken in the modding area, and we needed to create some workarounds. And yes, I have issues with some of the mods as well, but I've just re-applied everything and I have all the faces, logos, real name fixes, all additional leagues (yes, the ID issue is present, but that's the only one).
To be honest, I don't know what to tell you in this case. When I have the problem with Napoli name, I've found that I didn't have a club name change editor file selected.

I presume that when you talk about realism, you mean that the created leagues are not realistic or not have real rules. But it will be simpler for all of us when you give more details about your problem instead of throwing random words in comments. So either explain what is wrong exactly or don't throw comments like these.

I've tested few scenarios with installation because I was wondering if something has changed (because a lot of people post napoli name not changed).
It's happening because you haven't selected the editor data files on the start of the game. When you change only the files in the fm lnc folder, you will have milan, inter etc. but not napoli.
But when you do everything as in instruction on the 1st page (delete and paste new dbc/edt/lnc + copy these 4 files to editor data and select them at the start of the game), you will have all these changes. Screenshots for proof, because I'm a bit tired of hearing these problems and old problems repeating.
Please pay attention to the instruction, because it will save you more time than posting here and waiting for an answer.

Chwila, przepis o obowiązkowym młodzieżowcu został usunięty z pliku w najnowszej wersji. To, co zacytowałeś to u-22 w składzie meczowym i taki przepis (co prawda w specyficznej formie) istnieje. Nie jest on z tego co wiem w 100% odwzorowany ale wszelkie problemy z młodzieżowcami lub graczami wyszkolonymi przez klub, zostały zgłoszone na forum. I dopóki nie zostanie to wyklarowane na oficjalnym forum, narazie będzie zostawione. Bo co chwila ostatnio wychodzą patche które mogą znowu coś nadpisać.

A ten przepis akurat jest w regulaminie ekstraklasy, dlatego nie jest usunięty.
