Does this happen to anyone else?After I got Snowy Escape when my Sim started a new active career as a detective and he went to work all his co-workers were Japanese, they all had Japanese names. Everyone. Also on another save when my Sim went to hospital to give birth all the hospital workers were Japanese, again.I have nothing against it, I love Snowy Escape and Japanese culture and I have no problem about it, but it seems odd that it has this effect outside Mt. Komorebi. I don't use any mods, my game is 100% vanilla and my game language is Finnish. I'd just like to know if anyone else has had this happening in their game? Maybe it's only in Finnish version? Or maybe it effects only on Get To Work lots, because it seems only happening on those lots that are hidden on GTW? It doesn't effect on the saves that I've already started the active careers and my Sims already have co-workers or if they've been to hospital already, it only effects when a Sim goes to hospital to give birth the first time or starts a new active career.

It happened to me as well, before Snowy Escape all of my Co workers are in Sulanese(Sulanian?) name.

I think it's just a bug with how the game generates townies, every single townie that generates in my game is a Sulani sim which I suppose makes sense in Sulani but not everywhere else.

Whenever a new culture is introduced (example City Living) we stop getting diversity in our games. When City Living came out all the townies got Middle Eastern names. When we got mermaids and Sulani I got a majority of Polynesian names. It's been a "bug" prevalent for a while. We shouldn't have to add in name generators for diversity or go to the names of our townies and change them just to add in diversity.

I think the game is probably reading which culture has lowest representation among your townies, though it does tend to go overboard. It wants the townies to have double use, which I do like. When I first got Jungle Adventure (quite a while after it’s initial release) all of my sim’s college roommates had Selvadoradan names. I have since installed Island Living and Snowy Esape and when I generated a new group of university students in a new save they were all from Komorebi, Sulani and San Myshuno.

All co-workers on active career are Japanese

I've never noticed any of this happening before in my saves. I play a lot of active careers and I always have at least some diversity on names. Now it's 100% Japanese.
When I started playing Sims 4 I was annoyed that most of the Sims had Finnish names (my game is in Finnish). I'm a Finn and I wouldn't have been so annoyed if they would've had more name options, but it seemed like they only had few choices of names and a lot of Sims had same names. My Sims always had friends with same names and I had to change them manually. At least now I don't have that problem anymore.
I've never had problems with City Living and multi cultural names, I love the diversity. I guess I'll have to get used to the all Japanese police station and hospital. No problem. :smiley:

I noticed an abundance of Japanese names after the pre-Snowy Escape patch, which actually worked out well for my story purposes, as it allowed me to pretend that the spellcaster my initial sim hooked up with was originally from Mt. Komorebi, but it is a little... overbearing.

I think it is a matter of balance to some extent (though this was a brand new save) because when I've noticed it in the past, it's all eventually evened out.

My Sim just started University. All his dorm mates are Japanese. Looks like my game is fully Japanese now. Konnichiwa. :grin:

Yep, my sim has just become a spellcaster and gone to university - the whole of the witching world in Magic HQ, and most of his dorm mates are Japanese.
