Russian language in The Sims 1 Legacy

All The Sims games were translated to Russian except The Sims 1. Now you have published the game again as The Sims Legacy Collection and didn't included Russian localization in it? This was a perfect opportunity to include the all languages, introduced in The Sims 2 like Russian, Czech and Hungarian. Russian speaking community is one of the biggest, still the Finnish language (with all respect) is included and Russian is not.

AT LEAST UNBLOCK THE RUSSIAN LINES IN-GAME so we, the fans, could translate the game properly. The Sims 1 has a separate space for Russian language lines, but it is disabled in .exe file so if you edit the text in Russian field by IFF Pencil, for example and save it, change Registry keys to Russian and it just loads English text. And replacing the English text is not the best way to do it, so please EA unblock that language technically.

  • RU locale is still blocked, cannot make custom translation without silly replacement of the english text (and having numb 12H clock) instead of just adding it to a separate location.

  • The Sims Edith (version pre 1.0) had the support for Russian localization strings, if you change it in registry and edit files by IFF Pencil, placing the new text in Russian localization space, it worked well! The Russian localization was disabled (hardcoded) in the following versions, so please unblock it back.
