QD, Thanks for this great mod. But I had some issues with it.

When I use all the appropriate files for a 1910 league, first_names, name, nick_names, cities, nations I get no nations appearing in the league set-up screen to pick the league country and all cities names came up as Team 1, Team 2, etc. When I reverted to the install nations/cities lists, the countries/cities were fine, but the when I created the league, all my players came up as "Jim Smith".

I wanted to use this mod in conjunction with cephasJames ethnicities mod for my league so I did the following to finally get what I wanted:
  • Used QD's 1910_first_names.txt, names.txt files, nick_names.txt files.
  • Modified the default ethnicities.txt to set US (Modern) and US (Historic) to 0 for all foreign ethnic types and 1000 for Caucasian.
  • Modified nations.txt to change United States values
    • ethnicity 1 = 0, % = 100
    • other ethnicities to 0,0
    • Set all ethnic types to 0
    • set Caucasian to 1000.
  • In the league set-up, I set foreigner % to 0.
This produced a league with 100% US players and all (as far as I can see scrolling through 5 of the 12 teams I created) all are Caucasian. The names are era appropriate with "babe", "Rube" and "Dizzy" showing up.

As the decades progress, I plan to up the % of ethnic types other than Caucasian according to a foreigner schedule I found on from the ootpmodsquad site.

Just wanted to pass this along to everyone.
