noob here.
i am not awesome and i don't want to break my game.
after i installed seasons, a number of my sims had had their names changed, and i would like to change the names back if possible.
i have read various threads on the topic and heard all about how the version is wrong for the region and so on. i live in south africa and bought the EP at a large chain store. yes, i now have a 24 hour clock in my game and am happy with it, quite frankly i am delighted.

i would like to know which patch exactly, as there are 3 mods on the page referred to, and all seem to be about clocks.
does the mod change the renaming problem? or is that something that is likely to happen only once?
i apologise for all these questions, but my servos' names have all changed and i am going nuts trying to tell them apart (they now all have random townie names like Amar Raha, Chris Hurt and Beth Wilkie.)

:) If you're referring to the different files in Pilot's thread then it's as simple as this , if you don't have any of the Stuff packs that came out after Seasons then use Pilot's Seasons version at the very beginning of the thread . If you have Celebrations then use that version that is later on in the thread and if you have H&M Stuff then use the version that is even later still in the thread specifically for that :)Then use whichever one of the two inclusive files you need ( 12 hour or 24 hour mod ) :)

OK thanks, I did as suggested. Are there any suggestions as to how to change the names back? They show up correctly in SimPE but not in-game. I used the tombstone of L&D to change some first names back. I thought of putting in the full names as the "first name" so at least I know who they are, but this does not work with longer names.
BastDawn:
Download the lot debugger in the Firing Range section of this site, and make sure you read up on it -- the rtfm file. There is an option to change the first name, and then change the first name again in a way that makes the previous choice the new last name. It's explained better in the lot debugger thread.
