Re: The Sims's names is in English despite game being played in Norwegian

@crinrict Yea, that's been bugging me for a while. Every time a new pack comes out, there's a slew of spawned sims with names that don't really "fit" with those neighborhoods.

I know sims can travel in from other 'hoods, but it's quite a bit overboard. Maybe sims spawned to live in certain hoods can have names generated for those hoods?

Like if Brindleton Bay is supposed to represent like Maine/USA, sims spawned there would have US names? If Mt. Komorebi is supposed to represent a Japanese town, sims there would have Japanese names?

Just an idea. It might be a good idea to have different style towns representing different world locales, and have names generated like those used in those locales...

@Psychotps That's a different issue though. This is about the premade characters having different names in the localized versions in previous Sims games but not in Sims 4

For example Mortimer Goth was Mortimer Grusel in German in Sims 2 but Mortimer Goth in Sims 4

You're probably more looking for this for example: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Townies-in-worlds-spawn-with-Asian-names/m-p/9794299#M166415

If I knew how to contact the Norwegian translation team, I could tell them about the translation issues. In addition to the names, it is also translation issues not related to proper names.
