    Oh yes, names ARE gibberish. I play russian version, most of townies named like Drazdaperma (acronym for LongLiveFirstMay), Palpatine (UNLIMITED POWER), really outdated name's, that's no one uses for centuries, like Fedot, Prohor, Fekla etc. Last names are terrible too. Even pre-made sims are not safe, and towns too. Pleasantview is translated as Newsettled, for some reason. And Pleasants are, logically, Newsettlers. Strangetown is Kitezhgrad, roughly translated as Wondercity, in russian folklore - long forgotten and lost town of immense beauty, full of treasure's. Pollination Technician 9 is translated as Bouquet of Gillyflowers 9. Curious are translated as Know-it-alls. Even street names are butchered, names of furniture too.

    I had been playing in Russian for a long time (I didn't understand English as a child at all), and I remember there had been two different game translations: official and non-official (pirate one). Non-official version has normal names, Caliente was Caliente, etc. And an official... oh boy.
    But, If you ask me, I like official names more. Why? Well, they was frivolous and ridiculous sometimes, but they were in some way international? Like, yeah, that was a Russian translation, but It looks like translators kept in mind that those version gonna be used by a bunch of people from post-soviet countries, so they did really diverse namepool. Sometimes there was native names and last names from those post-soviet countries, and sometimes they were from all over the world, combined in silly combinations. And, maybe, translators didn't know that -enko and -jko is typicall Ukrainian last name endings and just thougth It sounds funny, but nonetheless I was simply glad to incounter Ukrainian last names (even made up). Hovewer, yeah, that was a bad translation in the sense of passing the meaning (like Caliente traslated as Gongadze, It's georgian last name with original meaning no close to the literal meaning of the word caliente).
    Anyway, situation like that seems to be pretty rare in Russian traslation now, I guess that was some chaotic 2005's things.
    P.S. Obviously I'm still bad at English, sorry.
    P.P.S. English tenses is my personal hell.

      Btw Sims 3 Russian translation is just fine, complete international (with an accent on standart English though) namepool with no silliness, also large number of variants.
      And Sims 4 namepool is absolutelly garbage. It has arround 20-30 names and about the same number of last names, ridiculous in awful way and pretty much alike, because they use only Russian naming tradition. I feel like the first Russian mod for the Sims 4 was name mod and almost everyone now is playing with It, because otherwise It's unbearable.

    I play sims 2 in Spanish and we kinda have weird names for townies too. The game uses names that actually exist, but first names are... really old-fashioned, I'm not sure if it makes sense 😂 Something that really bothers me is that Spanish version has a big lack of names and last names (like 30-40 names for males and 30-40 for females) and everyone ends up having the same name, it's pretty common to have 3 or 4 pair of sims with the same name/last name combination, I don't know if that thing also happens in other languages.
    So making your own townies seems like a pretty good idea for me! I didn't know how to create them or if it was save to do them, thank you for the video!

    I am SO glad you mentioned that the last name cheat in-game (the testing cheats one) will corrupt the Sim, because when I was looking up how to change a Sim's last name, that cheat popped up. I was kind of suspicious that changing something like that would mess up the Sim and just decided to not risk it. Very glad I didn't. Now if last names bother me enough I'll just download SimPE lol. Also this tutorial was really helpful! In some of the clean neighborhoods from meetmetotheriver's Tumblr (as amazing as they are), there are no townies and this seems more likely to add unique-looking townies than game-generated ones would.

    Great and informative video! However, debug mode (boolProp testingcheatsenabled true) doesn't corrupt your game, that's just a very common misconception. It causes issues if you do silly things with it, such as add universal NPCs (Grim Reaper, Mrs. CrumpleBottom, ideal plantsim, etc.) and NPCs with incomplete character data (Social Worker, Repo-Man, etc.) to an active household. In short, debug mode itself is completely harmless, it's what the user does with it that causes issues. Having it on in the background does not corrupt your game and changing first names with the Tombstone of Life and Death is safe; changing surnames is not possible with the tool.
    I've heard that changing surnames with SimPE causes issues and is not advised. I use the Last Name Copier to do that.

I don't know if the Testingcheats Townie Maker corrupts the game or not but if you don't want to make a Downtown and you have Nightlife, when you use it to make NPC service Sims, it uses the downtownie faces for them which is also pretty nice.

    Oh yeah, the names in the Russian version are just as ridiculous as you might expect them to be in TS2. And I absolutely love it, it makes townies look like fiction characters or smth. Most of the times it's easy to understand the meanings of the names, but they sound either exaggeratedly creative or just foreign. Also very often you'll have sims with normal Russian names accompanied by last names that are typical for other languages. There's something great about it, don't you think so? It creates a special atmosphere in the game. In TS4 this feature is completely gone, the names are far too realistic, and it doesn't match my gaming preferences at all :( Sorry EA, you've made your best in 2004.

    Names in my part of the world work a bit differently than others. There isn't like "common names" or anything, instead our names are composed of one or two different characters (there are over 50K characters). That's not to say there's not "weird" names but there's a ton of variety to start with. In my language's version they're usually translated literally or somewhat literally (like most in other languages options). This results in plenty of surnames you wouldn't actually see as there really is a list of surnames, some of which are two characters but mostly one however there are a lot of characters never used in surnames and a few only used in surnames.

    I play Sims in Finnish, and most townie names are fine IMO. There are also those that are real names but sound rather funny and/or archaic. Some names are completely random, sometimes sims have last names as first names, and a few times there have been female sims with male names and vice versa. Pets have a lot of random and weird names.

    upd: i've read the comments of Russians and want to add, that the names that used in ru sims 2 might not often be using in real life in Russia, but still that names are exist and nothing wrong with them except they are a bit rare. the surnames might sound funny sometimes but they are still pretty realistic 70/30 imo.

    I play The Sims 2 in Finnish and what I've noticed is that names are pretty normal. Of course, in The Sims 3, the names may not be quite conventional, but they're 100% better than in The Sims 4, where there are hardly any names other than well-known (Like the surnames of celebrities), but not ordinary. And so all the games are in Finnish.

      It's not always random. I think there are some names that have Polish counterparts. I once had a townie named Player and his Polish name was Gracz, so an exact translation. And very often the first letter of the name is the same! Or the first name is an equivalent of the English one.
