    Fixed an issue that caused weighting for names, clothing, facial features, and skin tones to skew heavily in specific directions if City Living or Island Living were installed.


    Fixed in Patch 1.55.105

    This is now the second fix for this and the thread is getting a bit old

    If you're still having issues with NEW Sims (your existing ones won't be affected by the fix), please create a new thread.

There has been a mod over at ModTheSims to address this issue since July 2018. It is not a fix as the route cause is still there. It just reduces the amount of these diverse names that the game can select from to begin with.

According to Dorsal Axe over on the forums, the issue is due to the diverse names being specifically categorised under templates whereas the default game names are not. Since the existing names have no template name the game ignores the list and uses the first specified list it gets to which is the Japanese name list.

So it seems to fix this issue the team at EA will need to create a "default" template and make the game aware of it. Apparently the issue has now expanded to the Island Living names as well.

Here is a link to Dorsal Axe's post in the mod thread> [Removed by CM]
