I’ve always disliked actually sims in the Dutch game have different names. Took me a while to figure out Bella Goth was who I knew as Cora van de Kerkhof. If they didn’t do this in Sims 4 (funny, I never noticed!) that absolutely works better for me.
Bella is such a global name that I don't think worth of localizing. I don't think it's an exception in the Netherlands. Renaming popular sims to localize ones sounds like a bad idea. Can't they use closest equivalents?
I guess it's a good thing my language isn't provided for choice :smiley:
In my Sims 3 game Bella is called Cora. That name has such an entirely different connotation, it’s just bad translation imo. Took me quite some time to figure out that by Bella Goth people were referring to Cora van de Kerkhof (literally: Cora from the Graveyard, which is an actual Dutch surname but it’s in no way sexy like Goth is). I wish I could set my Dutch game (I prefer playing in my own language overall) to use English names.
