Central Asian Names
This mod provides a list of cim (in-game citizens) names from Central Asian countries. This mod can either supplement or replace the names your cims have, it’s your choice!
To supplement these names, i.e. add them to the list of possible names your cims can have in addition to the default ones, choose the "Use Namelists" option in the required Custom Namelists mod. To replace all default cim names and only have them use these Central Asian ones, choose the "Use Blacklists" option in addition to the "Use Namelists" option.
So far, this mod provides 318 female names, 339 male names, and 290 last names for your cims to use. They come from from a variety of related Central Asian backgrounds including Persian/Tajik, Kurdish, Turkmen, Uzbek, Pashtun, and Baloch. A lot of names are shared across backgrounds, so the Persian spelling is kept as the default for Persian-origin names (e.g. Rostam instead of Rustem). I’ve done my best to not use any foreign names (e.g. Arabic-origin names); however if you see any let me know!

None.
Adding residence names (Golrokh Kiani living in "the Holly Residence" sounds a bit silly).
Adding district names.
Due to language issues, adding street names would be very difficult (the word "street" is different in different languages, for example) as the randomly generated names wouldn’t make much sense, so I doubt I’ll add that. Never say never, though!
Special thanks to Custom Names Lists by Ilion, who reminded me how to publish a mod since it’s been a while and my memory isn’t what it used to be lmao! I used his mod as the base for mine and it was super helpful; his mod also allows you to add your own street and place names as well, so check it out!
