I am back, once again, with a name replacement mod! After the success of my Medieval Name Replacement Mod, I knew I wanted to make more name replacement mods for historical TS4 players. And since the other most popular Decades challenge, besides the Ultimate Decades Challenge, is the original one that takes place from 1890 to the present, it only made sense to do a mod that replaces the names that are hardest to find within those decades.
That is why our next mod is full of names between the years 1800 and 1919, so it can work for those who play Regency gameplay as well.
How does it work?
It’s very simple. You download the mod, and put it into your mods folder, wherever you keep default replacements. Once the mod is in your folder, load up the game. In both CAS, randomly generated townies, and babies, the available names will only be selected from a pool of period appropriate names.
When in CAS, if you use the die to randomize a name, it will only give you appropriate names, like so:
When a townie is randomly generated in town, they will no longer have modern names, like so:
When your sim gives birth to a baby, the random name options will all be appropriately old fashioned, like so:
Is it compatible only with English?
It should be compatible with every language. I did it the same way that I did the updated version of my medieval mod, so it should also be compatible with Kuttoe's Townie Demographics mod, and similar mods.
Any details on the names you can provide us?
a little over 4500 English female names
a little over 4600 English male names
nearly 13,000 English surnames/bynames
the date range that these names should be appropriate for is between 1800 and 1919
the English names should be appropriate for all English speaking countries, because I tried to pull names from the appropriate timeframe in multiple countries
Indian names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Islander names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Japanese names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Moroccan names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Latin names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Native American names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Southeast Asian names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
thousands of pet names (cats, dogs, and horses)
in the future, I intend to add names for the farm animals as well
Where did you get your names?
ALL over. Seriously, I scoured the entire internet for time period appropriate names. I couldn't begin to list my sources.
Any other details I should know?
base game compatible
you may only have one name replacement mod in your game at a time
this mod is subject to change as I find more names, so check back occasionally to see if the version is new!
if you have any questions or suggestions for names, feel free to message me
works for every age
will not replace the names of sims that have already been created
no names are memes - if you see a silly name, that was actually a name of a real life person sometime between 1800 and 1919
Disclaimer: The Indian, Islander, Moroccan, Latin, Native American, and Southeast Asian names were incredibly hard to find, so they may not be appropriate to the time period. The only names I could properly find were Japanese names. If you want to help me find better, more time period appropriate names for any of these, please feel free to send me a message!
4 new radio stations for popular music from the 1890's, 1900's, 1910's, and 1920's, plus one new set of likes/dislikes!
...And extras again
This is a continuation of my old 1890's radio mod, I really wanted to make an updated version and I'd always intended to do this for other decades too. I don't really have a good explanation for this taking so long, adhd kicked my ass
This version is modular! Only the base is required. If there are any stations you don't want, you can just remove them.
The like/dislike for antique music covers all four stations.

Updated the phonograph to actually work off-the-grid now. Thanks to @my-historical-sims whose mod helped me figure this out
I also renamed the package, so remove 'em-edison phonograph' if you download the new one
Two new paintings. I love this dog
Also big thanks to the78prof for audio and Dave's Music Database for the 'top 100 by decade' lists
The 1890s were a transition decade: between the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The bustles of the past two decades collapsed into a bell-shaped skirt, and the decade's distinctive "leg of mutton" sleeves became popular. Women also enjoyed newfound independence, with the number of women employed outside the home doubling.

You love the beauty that you can see and touch and handle, the beauty that you can destroy, and do destroy, but of the unseen beauty of life, of the unseen beauty of a higher life, you know nothing. You lost life's secret.

I found a lot of awesome old-timey cc recently! When I stumbled across @lamuguetterie's phenomenal 1890s dresses, I knew I had to break out my favorite wasp-waisted amnesiac for a little photo shoot. Not that I have any other wasp-waisted amnesiacs, but Inna's still my favorite.
To Isabel’s misfortune, her new neighbors didn’t even have the courtesy to come greet them when they moved in. That only made the reunion with her nephews and brothers-in-law all the happier.
Caroline had never been particularly close to her cousin Luiza, but it was easy to change her mind when the girl was basically the only child within a two-hundred-kilometer radius. Or at least, that was what Caroline thought. When she arrived at her cousin’s bedroom, she was surprised by the sight of a girl with deep black hair wearing clothes of excellent quality.
The girl, who introduced herself as Pauline Franco, was the daughter of their new neighbors. She couldn’t explain why her parents hadn’t gone to visit the Monte-Castela family, especially considering how much they had insisted that Pauline and Luiza become friends. They invited Caroline to join them, which she accepted, although her outgoing spirit seemed to falter for a moment, perhaps because it had been nearly four years since she had spoken to anyone other than her mother and the animals on the farm. Anyone who saw her so quiet and awkward among the girls would never have imagined that Caroline was usually a true little chatterbox pest.
Reserved by nature and accustomed to solitude, Margaret never imagined forging a true companionship.
Yet Elena, bold in her convictions and quietly defiant of society’s expectations for women like herself, awakens in Margaret a sense of kinship — and something else, more elusive.
Is it merely the comfort of friendship? Or is Margaret beginning to feel what she cannot yet name?
