Welsh Place Names

Croeso i Gymru! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Adds a Welsh option to the Names box when you start a new game, so your towns, streets and residents are all named the Welsh way.

What you get

🏘️ Towns: 628 real Welsh places

• The cities: Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Wrexham, Bangor, St Davids
• Valley towns, market towns, seaside resorts and small villages from Holyhead to Chepstow, and St Davids to Prestatyn
• The real towns and villages along the Talyllyn, Corris, Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland heritage railways: Abergynolwyn, Pendre, Dolgoch, Corris, Tan-y-Bwlch, Tanygrisiau, Rhyd Ddu...
• And yes, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Good luck fitting a station sign.

🛣️ Streets: 204 proper Welsh street names Stryd Fawr, Heol y Bont, Ffordd y Môr, Lôn Isaf, Maes-y-Dref, Teras y Capel, Glan-yr-Afon, Rhodfa'r Môr... in place of the English pool.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Residents: Welsh names 230 Welsh first names (Gareth, Dafydd, Gethin, Iolo, Taliesin, Rhiannon, Angharad, Myfanwy, Seren...) with 90 surnames common in Wales (Jones, Davies, Pritchard, Bowen, Vaughan, Llewellyn...). Expect plenty of Joneses.

How to use

1. Activate Welsh Place Names in the mod manager.
2. Start a New Game, and pick Welsh in the Names box.

Name sets are chosen when a map is created, so existing saves keep their current names.

Compatibility

Cosmetic only. Nothing runs during play, so it's safe to add or remove and works with any other mod.
