Firstly let me note that this has always been compatible with Free Time and I suspect will remain compatible with Apartments
What has changed is;
Got a Magic themed neighbourhood and fed up of the maxis default names? Well now your townies and NPCs can have genuine Harry Potter names.
This file will not affect your current townies and NPCs but makes it so when the game creates a new Townie or NPC they will have a a randomly selected name taken from the Harry Potter books thanks to a new list compiled from the Harry Potter Lexicon's Which Wizard section.
Names you will see:
For examples of possible names see the pictures below (one an excerpt from the list of possible names the other some new Townies and NPCs my game randomly generated), basically any combination of any of the names from the Harry Potter universe - including the multinational ones - with a few exceptions
Names you will not see:
You will not see any of the surnames that are vital characters in the Harry Potter books; Potter, Weasley, Granger, Dumbledore, Riddle, Gaunt, Black, Malfoy etc
But you WILL see their first names, that is Harry, Hermione and Ron could appear
To install just unzip anywhere in the Downloads folder or into a sub folder.
Note: When you start a new neighbourhood you will still get the original maxis non-wizarding names as the game automatically imports these. To get a fresh neighbourhood see here
Also Note: If you want default townie replacement names but don't fancy having Urquhart Scamander running around your neighbourhood I suggest Jordi's original name replacing hack. These files are in NO WAY compatible with each other and in fact one will automatically replace the other
This has been tested for all expansions (including Free Time) with no problems

Firstly let me note that this has always been compatible with Free Time and I suspect will remain compatible with Apartments
What has changed is;
- Fixed issue where half the male names were actually surnames. No idea how this happened but only noticed it the other day when Black Diggle appeared in my neighbourhood
- Updated male and female first names with extra names that were on the wikipedia list of characters that weren't on the lexicon list when I originally made this
- Fixed a couple of misspellings and repeated names
- Added a few extra female names, mostly common names, call them Muggleborn names if you like. A few cheekily added witch names from other genres that seemed to fit. Did this partly because the female name list was always short and partly because if I saw yet another townie called Walburga in my neighbourhood I was going to scream.
