Here is my set of custom Far East locals!

There are twelve Asian locals included – 2 kids, 2 elders, four each of teens and adults.

• Each sim has a few skill points.
• Teens and up were given cellphones.
• I made sure they have a range of hobbies and turn-ons.
• Family members have relationships, and some adults/elders have a secondary aspiration.
• They do not have jobs, degrees or bios.

As with the tropics locals, no custom content. Built in Ultimate Collection.

I'm not good at moulding sim features, so used Isbrealiomcaife's face templates, which are already made to represent different ethnic backgrounds. I just tweaked them a wee bit, here and there, for increased variety.

These have been tested in-game. All the sims turn up, and they perform their special greetings and tai chi.

Installation:

1. Install your new subhood with the other Shopping Districts/Suburbs. (Program Files...OFB.../TSData/RES/NeighborhoodTemplates)

2. In-game, add the suburb to a primary hood, using the 'Add Shopping District' button. (If you can't see the drop-down list of available suburbs, you probably need Moo's fix. Once the game finishes this process, you should have the correct number of new sims in the Characters folder for the main hood.)

3. The subhood can be deleted again – it was just a placeholder for the sims, who should now be available at the destination.

4. Next time your sims go on vacation, these locals should turn up to show them greetings and dances.

5. Adding a subhood apparently messes with the subhood sims' memories – it is suggested to run Hoodchecker after installing your new locals.
