In my case, it works perfectly. I have all EPs and (aargh!) SP as well... with the exception of KBiID, I'm not planning to buy it anyway...I'm more curious (yet anxious) about Apartment life.

They don't "make them" lazy...It's just the game generating chaoticaly maids like any sims, or townies...without considering what exactly should be a good maid.

I've the same issue here...

Not exactly : Riley , for example is not a French name, so it's understandable that EA France want make a change for it....Think that French can't spell easily english words..Riley would be pronounced "ree-lay", for example...yet, it's not a common name at my place and it doesn't exist in France, excepted with some people liking englich/american names and giving these names to their children. However, Vincent or Lucas are common.

For Naomi's name before the wedding, I can't help unfortunately : as I'm French my game is in french too...and the names are a "bit" different (Vincent is called Lucas, Riley is called Michelle...and so on)

...Stupid French translators...why change Vincent in Lucas? Vincent is also a name frequently used in France!

Anyway, Naomi is the girl making coffee, right? I will check if I can find her original name.

I don't see these sims that great, but for a odd reason I wish to include them in my Pleasantview neighborhood. I tried to clone them with the latest version of Simpe unsuccessfully...

It's not all.. : for a strange reason, the neighborhood of Four Corners in Sims 2 doesn't look to the Sims Stories: Life....The roads are differents, the bay too...No matter which of N001 or N002, the roads don't resemble to the Sims Stories ones...
