NPC/Townie Name List?
Hello! So I had a question. I am hoping to find a list of all of the names possible by the in-game name generator for The Sims 4. My friend can't buy the game because she is worried certain names wil...

Are you talking about if you add an NPC or Townie to your family? Because this is outside of that. It isn't that she wants to change names either. She just wants to keep from seeing a name in general. She has OCD and cannot see or hear certain names, otherwise it will send her into her rituals or a panic attack. She wants to avoid that, but play the game.
Hi @trash2017
do you need lastNames only ? The file is really huge and has lots of different languages.
These is G lastNames for english base game

<T type="String">Goto</T>There's other sections though that arent' as easy to c/p as EA didn't bother to sort them anymore. If you PM me the name you're concerned about, I can check for that.
Is there a guide to find name files in the game myself? I have no problem looking for it and finding it myself. I actually need first names. Not last. ☹️ Sorry, I probably should have specified.
- You will need to download a tool called S4Studio (just google). (use at your own risk, not supported by EA)
- Open the tool (will take a moment on the first start)
- Go Tools - Extract Tuning.
- In the Window search for: Sim_Spawner
- select module/sims.Sim_spawner
- Click Add to current package
- choose any name for your package file
- This will then open the package file.
- Click on Sims Data and make sure XML is selected on the right side and then you can go through the names
I'm not sure if there's other files that also contain names and there's several sections. Not sure if you can search in there.
There's als a tool called XML Extractor for The Sims 4 at MTS. You can use that to extract all the game files and then open the one you need in a text editor and search there easier. Tool hasn't been updated in a while but still works well for me to extract files,
Maybe there's an easier way in S4Studio as well, I'm not an expert on the tool
When the game creates a new sim on its own, it will randomly choose a name for them from these huge lists of names it has available. Once the sim is created, you can modify the sim and their name in CAS. But that won't stop the problem of seeing them in the first place.
Hmmm... if it's only a few names, I suppose someone could make a mod to remove just those names from the game. It shouldn't be hard if the name lists are in the tuning files. But as @crinrict said, there are a LOT of them in there.
