Make UKEnglish version of The Sims 1 legacy to use 24H clock

(Post is about The Sims 1)
Maybe I'm just too old and remember it wrong, but as far as I remember, in The Sims 2, the USEnglish uses 12H clock and UKEnglish 24H clock.
Right now there are 2 absolutely identical game locales in The Sims 1 Legacy with the same text and almost no differences (except Vacation being called On Holiday in some places), and both US and UK English use 12H clock.

It would be nice if UKEnglish would use 24H clock instead of the 12.

Yes, in UK there are 2 systems officially used, 24 and 12, but this way you could allow the people who want to play in English and use 24H clock a convenient option to change language to UKEnglish. Who want still use 12H clock could change the lang to USEnglish and vice-versa.

There is a HUGE AMOUNT of players for which English is not a native language and they have no localized version for their language, so they play in English. But the 12-hour system may be very inconvenient for the foreigners. I personally speak English very well, but I would be happy to play the game in English but with the 24H clock. Adding it to UKEnglish would be a best way to use it.

As alternative there would be implemented a new game option to use 24 or 12-hour clock system.

Also, the more convenient option to change game language in-game would be great.

    If it wasn't in the original Sims 1 it won't be here. Outside of easier install and added resolution options (presumably introduced by vulkan), the game is the same as the cd version.
