Japanese World Map Rename
Sulsul!
I’ve been having a blast with a Japanese-themed save in The Sims 4, and I thought it would be great to apply a Japanese flair to other maps as well. I've renamed several worlds to reflect different Japanese districts and provinces. Have fun exploring these new themes!
Please note:
This is not a save file, just a map renaming mod.
Place this file in your mods folder, and it will work with only new saves.
If you're going to start a new save with a vanilla name, you need to move this file out of the Mods folder
If you want to change the map names in an existing save, please scroll down to the bottom of the tutorial on the SrslySims_WorldRenameTool page for instructions.
I didn’t change every map due to weather and geography issues, as some themes like tropical and desert environments are not typically found in Japan.
