Change Game Language
Problem
- Sim names have changed after installing a new expansion or stuff pack
- You would like to change the language the game is in
Solution
Change the language!
As well as practical purposes (e.g. you bought the game abroad) this is a neat party trick as you can translate the game into a language you don't understand and then you won't know what you're telling your Sim to do.. could be fun :)
How to Change the Game Language
Step 1
Go to the Start Menu and Run, and type in regedit:
Step 2
In the Registry Editor window, click the + arrows next to each of the following:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
- SOFTWARE
- EA GAMES
- The Sims 2 (or whatever EP you've got installed)
- 1.0
and you'll see something like this:
On the right hand side you'll probably see four things. We only need to worry about two of them: Language and Language name.
Step 3
First double click on Language. That will bring up the following:
- 1. American English
- 2. French
- 3. German
- 4. Italian
- 5. Spanish
- 6. Swedish
- 7. Finnish
- 8. Dutch
- 9. Danish
- 10. None
- 11. Japanese
- 12. Chinese
- 13. British English
- 14. Polish
- 15. Thai
- 16. Norwegian
- 17. Portuguese
After changing the Language, double click on the LanguageName and change the text to whichever language you chose. It doesn't actually makes a difference to the game, but it's best to keep everything in sync.
That's it. Every part of the game is now whatever language you chose.
