How to fix fake club and competition names in FM16

  1. Quit the game.

  2. IMPORTANT: Delete all files in these folder:
    Windows:
    \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\db\1600\lnc\all
    \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\db\1601\lnc\all
    \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\db\1630\lnc\all
    Mac:
    Macintosh HD/Users/"your computers name"/Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam Apps/common/Football Manager 16/data/db/1600/lnc
    Macintosh HD/Users/"your computers name"/Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam Apps/common/Football Manager 16/data/db/1601/lnc
  3. Macintosh HD/Users/"your computers name"/Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam Apps/common/Football Manager 16/data/db/1630/lnc

  4. Place "Daniel FM16 Fix.lnc" and "Daniel FM16 Club Names.lnc" to these folders.
    Alternatively you could use "Daniel FM16 Club Names FC Version.lnc" instead of "Daniel FM16 Club Names.lnc" in case you prefer clubs having FC added to their name.

  5. Run the game with real names.

    Almost all the names are too long. I think you got it wrong here. Nobody wants the full name. For example "IFK Göteborg" is never called "Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna Göteborg". It's either "IFK Göteborg" or simply "Göteborg". Most often "IFK Göteborg".

    Thanks Stam, fair enough! ;)

    @talhak: Keep a backup of the files that the instructions suggest to delete. Then if you wish to revert back, simply restore these deleted files and remove the 2 lnc files of the fix. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy the fix though :)

    Hi,

    I am thinking to apply that fix. But can you provide information how can we revert it back in the case we do not like it.

    Thanks for your support.
