StoryProgression

This mod is a non-core story progression replacement. The EA story progression will be disabled by this mod, and a new, hopefully better, system is started in its place. The purpose of the mod is to simulate a life-like balance amongst the inactive members of town, while providing the user the option to disable functionality they do not want.

Notes

The original design was based off of Indie Stone Story Progression Mod, and I will always be grateful for their pioneering work.

NRaas_StoryProgression_NameList_Tuning_V228.zip This is a tuning package that allows users to either add new names to the EA Standard listing, or replace the entire system with a brand new set of names.

Editing tuning packages will require you to have an editing package tool installed on your system:
  • S3PE created by I. & P. Jones and hosted over at SimLogical
  • Packer created by Twallan and available on this site

Note that this only impacts sims whose names are generated by the mod, such as inactive births, and progression immigrants.
If you have the "Replace Service Sims With Immigrants" those sims will also have their names adjusted.

Beloslaw_StoryProgression_NameList_rus_Imena_i_familii_rusov.zip Beloslaw has provided Russian name list (non greek):

Russian names in summary
  • 795 male names;
  • 387 female names;
  • 551/546 last names — separated by male (353), female (348) and common (198).
Pet names in summary:
  • 25 cat names: 18 m., 7 f
  • 30 dog names: 20 m., 10 f


Descr.:
Names written in Cyrillic letters. This tuning does not contain Greek names such as "Василий", "Алексей", "Елена", "Оксана".
The main source was the book "Ономастикон" (1974). All the work was made manually & by only me — so I didn't work the book off on even a half.
The other source was what I saw myself in many sources in life including living people.
