File that decides Maxis "townies"' names
chaos:
I'd love to have a mod for better townie names. When my townies give birth, their children get some really goofy names, sometimes.
ingeli:
I highly doubt that. I think they just mislabelled Amanda as male. Kim, btw, is a name both gender can have, also. I think its just sloppy insanity by EA.
Ayrell:
Thanks everyone for the input and comments, and thank you Jordi for taking the trouble to look again. Sounds tedious.
Ack, it sucks that it seems to be unmoddable. I don't understand EA's reasoning. :/
chann:
The names are all inside the language STBL in FullBuild0.package, along with ALL of the game's text, type 0x220557DA if I remember correctly. There's one STBL for each language.
There's already couple of tools out for them: Postal and this editor on MTS. The only compatibility issue I know of is that you can't make piecemeal edits/overrides to the base STBL, so you're limited to one text mod at a time.
jordi, would be awesome to see a remake of your TS2 name mod :)

Two of the Test girls were pregnant at the same time (well, married names Newsome and Bender, but the 11 Test kids will always be Tests to me). They had three girls between them. One was named Joanne. The other two were Chiquita and Kenyatta. The hell? I had to rename them Cindy and Kenya. Kenya is still a fairly rare name around here, but I do know a girl with the name. I've yet to meet a Kenyatta or a Chiquita that wasn't a banana. Thankfully, Ken Test and Jay Test's sons had normal names.
