Naming mod issues
I'm trying to make my own naming mod, but all the tutorials I find are very unclear and since Name2Simpe has no read me, I'm completely stuck.
The tutorial I am trying to follow is
this one by ijustneedsomeeyes, based on Jordi's explanations. I'm stuck at step 5.
When I run the program, it appears to do something to
SimPE files as the date on them change, but xml files are untouched. When I try to implement said
SimPE files into live.package, I get an error. It does replace the existing file, but the replacement is empty.
I googled, and found
this thread over at GoS where someone has the same problem, and Almighty Hat helps them. The original tutorial says to repeat the exact same list under 0,1, 0,2 and 0,4. Almighty says to only put 50 names under each, doubling the number each time. I re-did my files, and tried that. I still get an error, but it does add a file. The file appears empty at first, but if I scroll through different languages, I find parts of my list. However, that only happens with male first names. Female first names, and last names, are completely empty.
I'm thoroughly confused. Different sources contradict, no instructions for the program, errors I don't understand. Has anyone out there done this, and knows what is going on?
