Need more random names for non-English languages

The game really need more names in CAS and for townies and NPC.
I've checked the game files and this is how many names there are in the Norwegian language compared to the English.
Norwegian:
Female:
40
Male: 40
Last names: 40

English:
Female:
1080
Male: 1076
Last names: 3150

As you can see, if you're playing the game in Norwegian (and probably other languages), you'll get very low variation when it comes to names and you'll just be seeing the same names over and over and over. (I'd repeat the last two letters in that sentence several more times to prove my points but I think I'll let that be.)
This just gets boring after a while so we really need more names, I'm sure I'm not alone feeling this.
I personally wouldn't mind to get all the English available while playing the game in my own language.

    I play in Portuguese-Brazil. And it's exactly the same amount, 40 of each. To solve this problem, I made a mod with a friend that adds a huge amount of Brazilian names.

    -1425 female first names (originally 40);
    -277 last names (originally 40);
    -518 male first names (originally 40).

    Solved my problem. =)

    In any case, this small number of names in the other languages is inadmissible. They can easily solve this.


    Is it hard to do? I'd really want to be able to do that with french names because I'm sick of the 80 ugly names we've got!
  • Sure... I hope it is okay with forum rules: :s

    It doesn't eliminate the city life names for randoms, but for all others.
  • @PinkHairGuitar Oh, so is mine. To change it, I had to uninstall the game completely and then install it again. I wish we had the option to change the language in game, but I don't think it's possible...
  • I'm curious abouth the opinion of the simsguru on this subject. Do they think it's something they could improve or not?
