One annoying aspect of the game is that it randomizes the names of created sims when adding a new sub-neighborhood, so far the only solution to this was to rename all of the sims manually. This tool restores the original names of the sims as found in the sub-neighborhood template files.

THE NEW VERSION OF THE TOOL IS STILL UNDER TESTING. USE THE BACKUP NEIGHBORHOOD OPTION TO CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND REPORT ANY BUGS IN THIS THREAD.

Notes
- The tool uses the sim's hair, skin color, and default outfits to recognize the sim. If you changed any of these then the script might not work on the sim.

Instructions
- Start the tool using launch.bat.
- Enter your neighborhood's folder along with the templates that you used to create the sub-neighborhoods, then press Rename.

Updates
[5-9-2025] Reduced file size.
[21-8-2025] A new version has been uploaded. It comes with a graphical user interface + solves the split character files issue + automatic backups.
[19-2-2023] The script now skips pets instead of incorrectly renaming them.
[14-1-2023] The Python interpreter is now attached with the script, so downloading and installing Python is no longer required.
[13-1-2023] Fixed an issue in which a non-English name is displayed in the command line instead of the character's English name.
[7-1-2023] Fixed a potentially neighborhood corrupting bug that occurs when renaming sims with non-English characters. This includes one sim in Downtown, so If you used the script on Downtown before, then restore from backup.
