Probably stupid question, but still...
If my game's not in English (and there's no way to switch it to English, though I'd love to), what alphabet should I stick to when planning the order? The alphabet of the language my game is (which is Russian), or should I use English names of premade townies and transliterate the names of Sims that are spawned while the game is going?
I'm not sure it can give me any advantage/disadvantage, but just in case... For example, Alice Spencer-Kim would be in the very beginning of the list for English speakers, but for Russian, she'd be almost at the very bottom. And some last names are completely different (for example, the Caliente family in my game is 'Gongadze', Lord knows why).
