Katakana-to-Kanji in native Japanese words when playing in Japanese

While The Sims 2: Bon Voyage and The Sims 4: Snowy Escape are much more heavily affected than The Sims 3, there are still some cases in the base game and in Island Paradise, especially in certain Sims' names.
This mod aims in particular to kanjify the Sekemoto and Hamada households, as well as Tori Kimura and Rei Matsuri.
While I was at it, I also changed the "BR/BA" parts of many lots' names to use what seems to be the Japanese terms for them (寝室 / 化粧室). This is only intended to affect lots in Sunset Valley and Isla Paradiso.
All in all, approximately 129 text strings are changed.
———Notes———
• Due to various technical limitations, the order of names remain "Given name, family name", which will probably look slightly odd in itself.
• The mod is very unlikely to conflict with any other mods.

About Me
WIP big projects:
• Shoppingcenter 7000 v1.3 (Nov 2025 or Q1 2026)
• Prevent Sim from stuffing their pockets with rubbish piles on purpose when rummaging (Nov 2025 - Jan 2026)
• Reduce the amount of received dating request phone calls (Nov 2025 - March 2026)
Backup of some of my mods (External link). I understood the rules (Link) as that "About Me" 100% allowed such links, though the normal SoMe profile settings lacked GitHub or GitLab options.
