Reinstalling TS3 to change language
« on: October 27, 2015, 05:53:20 AM »
Hello everyone! My first message is a very simple question.

I want to change my game's language from English to Russian. I'm studying foreign languages, and I want to go full hardcore on my learning skills by adapting to the Russian language through everyday chores and hobbies. As you can see, if you don't want to use a mod, you need to either tamper with the System Registry or reinstall the game. I did some research about both procedures and I chose the latter system, but before proceeding I need to get some doubts cleared:

- do I need to perform a clean reinstall? This might sounds like a dumb question, but lazy users might be tempted to just install the game again in a different language without uninstalling it first. I'm sure this would have unpleasant consequences, so I want to be sure that my guesses are correct.
- do I need to uninstall EVERYTHING (that is, the base game AND the expansions)? I have all stuff packs and expansions, making it a total of 21 applications. I'm not worried about my custom content, I can add that again later, but reinstalling everything looks time consuming!

Thank you in advance for your help, and congratulations for the website and the forums. It doesn't take a genius to see why this is one of the places to be for all things concerning TS3 (and TS4 I suppose, though I haven't played that yet).

Yes, I think you pretty much have to do a full clean uninstall/reinstall in order to easily change the language.

Thank you for asking. Hope this helps, :)
