And you put it in all 3 lnc folders? If so, I'm confused. Everything appears to be in order but is evidently not so

Can you try starting a quick save game to see if the club name changes work then?

Can you try using this instead?

I'm so used to giving advice in the cutout faces megapack that I got confused

I meant the City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc file

You have quit FM, and restarted it, yes?

Can you upload the config.xml file itself here so I take a look at it? And also maybe a screenshot of club names in La Liga, Ligue 1 and/or Portugal in-game?

Can you try replacing
"Club_
with
"CLUB_

i.e. in uppercase throughout?

I meant the 1830 folder.

Can you upload screenshots of your 3 lnc folders and also perhaps the club name changes lnc files from each one?

If you are using 18.3, there is an additional folder in which the files need to be changed.

The workaround you are quoting is only necessary if you are in the middle of a save game. If you are starting a new game, then you need do nothing else apart from installing the files...

If you have already started a save-game or you are playing FMT or you are playing the beta 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 display these changes 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 clicking replace all. Then save and close. Shouldn't take more than 3 seconds if you do it right




Basically, 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 (not released yet for FM18!)
Pro: Retains club nicknames
Con: Needs to be applied before starting a new game
