Wow, check this one out:

https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/townies-in-worlds-spawn-with-asian-names/5038734

"Is it normal for most of the townies to spawn with Asian styled names? I've only noticed this since installing snowy escape. I am playing with an old save since early 2020 and I have just sent one of my sims to university and it seems all of her roommates and townies all have Asian styled names. Is this because of snowy escape being installed?"

"This is still happening and some reports of this issue are 5 years old… I realize it’s not the most game-breaking bug, but I would rather not have to spend so much time deleting 80% of Japanese sims from my game because I want an actual spectrum of diversity, not just one single ethnicity. To clarify, the Asian names as mentioned in the initial report are specifically Japanese. I would love to find, say, a Korean sim, but it has never happened."

This has been going on since CITY LIVING released in 2016, so ALMOST 9 YEARS AGO. Are they FINALLY going to fix it????
