Default Can I use this?
Do you know if this will work for the English version of the game so it will stop giving me all Asian names? I haven't seen an English/American name since the day I installed the darn game.

I'm gonna skip commenting on the obvious racism and point out that a lot of the names shown aren't american or even english at all. Just in your preview you have Salinas, Gomes, Iliana and Selena; all spanish names. You also have some french and german names there. Just thought you'd like to know in case you weren't aware you were being accidentally inclusive.

Well Matsuba, you might be happy to learn that actually the US was built on immigration from pretty much every country in the world so I'm not sure what is American and what isn't... Many German, French, Spanish names are part of the American legacy because it's part of its history as well. If we go by your standards then NOTHING is American... Because as I said, being American is having latino or European or Caribbean or African origins (ancestors), and many more that I can't be asked to mention.
I just had to reply to your comment 'cause I thought it was pretty uneducated of you to say something like that. I don't know what you think is "racist" about the mod, I actually felt like your comment was the racist one as it pretty much says it's either "American/English" OR French, German, Spanish, etc. as if nowadays it can't be integrated to the culture.
In my opinion, what is meant here by "English names for Everyone" is no more foreign names that aren't part of the English speaking world or culture. So it makes sense to find in there names that maybe aren't originally "English" (whatever that means) but have become part of the culture. For example, I know quite a number of Selenas who aren't related to the latino or Spanish culture whatsoever...

Do either of you know where I find a NON-INCLUSIVE mod like this? Or do I have to keep murdering the Sims that spawn with foreign names?

Unfortunately, it didn't work for me - I've installed the mod, but still the new-spowning sims have names that sound funny for the atmosphere of the game - Sobolev, Sololov, Smirnov, Bobrov (both females and males have male names). Among them one Dickinson (she's not iron and probably not maiden neither). Though, I'm not sure whether I should have started a new game to see the mod's effect?
After several restarts, eventually it worked, no more russian names, but now it's even worse - all new sims are japanese, and there's more sims than names, so I'm sick and tired removing manually all that clones with same faces, same clothes (except colours) and all called Yshikava, Suzuki, Nakamura, Murakami, Yamaguchi, Yamamoto erc...Ok, it was fun to find one Miadzaki, one Murakami,but now ir seems like some japanese soap opera. Oh, and they all have asian traits.
