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:

  • 01. US English
  • 02. UK English
  • 03. French
  • 04. German
  • 05. Italian
  • 06. Spanian
  • 07. Dutch
  • 08. Danish
  • 09. Swedish
  • 10. Norwegian
  • 11. Finnish
  • 12. Hebrew
  • 13. Russian
  • 14. Portuguese
  • 15. Japanese
  • 16. Polish
  • 17. Traditional Chinese
  • 18. Simplified Chinese
  • 19. Thai
  • 20. Korean
  • 26. Czech

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.
