I create a lot of Sims.
Every major household I play needs an extended family for continuity and story goings-on. I struggle to play Sims who don’t have extended families, even if they’re estranged from their family.
This is an ongoing list.
Notes & disclaimers
- Cultural names: I researched most of the less familiar names and categorized them appropriately. The names originating from other cultures that aren’t typically names have been excluded.
- Different language names: I love languages! I add these where I can. I gravitate towards Japanese names. 😅
- Gender neutrality: Any name can be gender-neutral if you break up with the social construct of gendered names.
