What other game languages are you interested in?
If it's something with roman alphabet (like German, French, Spanish) it might already work.
Someone already confirmed that it is working for french.

I don't think it's working for language with other alphabets (like Chinese, Japanese, Korean).

Hi, then I think it will work for me too, I use Italian language, check and I'll let you know!

Very good choice of names. But unfortunately it doesn't work if you play the game on German ( random only the boring german names ) Also tested in polish and its the same =( . But still very good mod.

Hey RubinoRomano, the lists with RANDOM names are not yet available in languages other than English as I mentioned in the mod description ("The new random names are only in the English language lists. If the game is in another language the names will not show up in your game or in the name randomizer.").
For German and Polish you will get new names only for the cultural sims, not the regular ones.

I'm not planning on doing other languages anytime soon but here's a quick german version I made if you can try it out and tell me if it works.
It should have the names from the RANDOM lists available in CAS randomizer and new townies should spawn using the names from the list. I have not included the German names.

Does this work together with your other mod for townie generating rebalance?

Yes, all my mods work together.
I also play with all my mods together as they are things I generally want in the game.

Oh, nice! I always meant to make a mod like this myself. Possibly still will, I want to add more silly robot and skeleton names, but in the meantime I'll enjoy having a better variety of names for my CL/IL/SE townies.

Do you need all packs involved to use it? Or will it just ignore that there are some categories of names missing?

hi! Is it possible for you to add Indian, Middle Eastern, North African, African or Hebrew names and surnames to diversify your range?

I do not understand what you mean... The mod adds over 500 Indian (from different regions and origins), almost 400 North African names and many more in different categories. All backed by census data and introduced to their relevant cultural categories.
