Name Change

(1/3) > >>

Chanco:
After installing BV, all the females in the neighborhood (whether there maxis made or not) they all have different last names than their spouses. Some have entirely different first and last names. ???

I did a clean install For BV, So there is no downloads/mods or savesims files etc… I did try to use my backup's folder and still the same thing. I also try to use simpe to see what was up (after getting though all the error hiccups in simpe) It showed the entire correct names for all females.  ???

The only other problem I found is I can't walk to community lots at all.
Other than these problems everything seems to working ok.

jsalemi:
Did you, perhaps, get the wrong version of BV?  I remember something like this happening when folks got UK versions of Seasons and installed them in the US, or US versions of Seasons in Australia.

Zazazu:
You'll have to change some settings in your registry. Go to Start...Run...then type "regedit" in the command box and click on "Run".

1. View ye olde Windows Explorer-type system.
2. Follow the path (on the left) My Computer...HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE...SOFTWARE....EA GAMES....The Sims 2 Bon Voyage. Also expand that folder so that you can see the subfolder, 1.0.
3. Make sure you have The Sims 2 Bon Voyage folder on the left selected. On the right, right-click on Language, and then Modify. Change value data to "English US". Click OK.
4. Right-click on Locale, then Modify. Change value data to "en_us". Click OK
5. Click on that subfolder mentioned earlier, on the left, 1.0.
6. Right-click on Language, then Modify. Change value data to "1". Click OK
7. Right-click on LanguageName, then Modify. Change value data to "English US". Click OK.
8. X out of the window.

Now, your names should be corrected and the clock will return to normal.


I've assumed you are in the US. If not, glance at the settings for the other Sims expansions you have to know what to change them to.

Chanco:
I wanted to say thanks for your tips ;D, and how to change the setting, and yes I believe it is a UK version, one because of the clock. I did notice the clock was on 24hrs and I kept have to change it back to 12hrs.

Sleepycat:
BV has the option (somewhere in the options) to force the clock to 12 or 24 hrs. not sure if that helps any but I thought I would mention it.
