Description
The page has these sections:
- What it adds — the counts, the forty-odd countries, both spellings, EA's names kept, and the gendered Russian surname pairs (Казлаускас/Казлаускене, Каримов/Каримова, Сигурдссон/Сигурдсдоттир).
- How much bigger the pools get — a before/after table, the strongest selling point:
┌──────────────────┬──────┬────────┬──────────┐
│ │ Male │ Female │ Surnames │
├──────────────────┼──────┼────────┼──────────┤
│ English — before │ 1077 │ 1086 │ 3156 │
├──────────────────┼──────┼────────┼──────────┤
│ English — after │ 1387 │ 1395 │ 3376 │
├──────────────────┼──────┼────────┼──────────┤

- A few of the names — three sample lines (men, women, surnames) so people can see the flavour before downloading.
- Where the new names show up — CAS dice, townies, newborns, adopted children, new households.
- Installation — both files, one folder deep, Script Mods Allowed.
- Requirements — base game, no packs.
- Cheats — the five morenames.* commands.
- Good to know — safe to remove; the script conflicts with nothing but the package can't be combined with another name-list mod; rebuild/update after a big patch; pets, aliens and familiars untouched; both languages on by default.
- Planned and Found a bug?
Two small corrections I made while writing it: the surname samples had a placeholder reading "Ivanov-style Russian names" — now a real one from the list (Zhukov) — and I dropped a claim about real people's names in favour of the accurate line, that these are ordinary given names and surnames in use in each country.
