New Zealand Names

New Zealand Names

Give your Transport Fever 3 map some proper Aotearoa character. This name pack replaces the default town, street and people names with names from across New Zealand, from Kaitaia to Bluff, Hokitika to Whakatāne.

What's included

• 134 real NZ towns across the North Island, South Island and a few offshore islands, spelled with correct macrons (Wānaka, Taupō, Kaikōura, Whakatāne).
• 1,000+ street names built from native trees and birds (Kauri, Rimu, Tūī, Kōwhai, Pōhutukawa), NZ history and landscape (Waitangi, Aoraki, Hillary, Matariki) and classic town-centre names (Victoria, Albert, Station, Railway), combined with Street, Road, Place, Crescent, Terrace and more.
• People names drawn from Māori, Pākehā and Pasifika naming traditions, plus other communities that call NZ home.
• Never hands out the same name twice on one map. If a very large map needs more names than the lists hold, it adds a suffix such as "North" or "Heights" rather than repeating.

How to use

1. Enable the mod in the Mod Browser.
2. When starting a new game, choose New Zealand in the name settings.

Good to know

• This is a purely cosmetic mod. It adds no vehicles, buildings or gameplay changes, and it has no dependencies.
• Macrons (ā ē ī ō ū) display correctly in the standard game font. If you would rather not use them, open content/names/nz.names.lua and change useMacrons = true to false.
• Want to add your hometown or local street names? Open content/names/nz_names.script.lua in any text editor and add to the lists at the top of the file.
