✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,077 endorsements and 57k downloads.
- Regularly updated (last update May 2024) — stays compatible with ACSE.
- Huge variety: covers languages from five continents, so modders have tons of naming options.
⚠️ Cons
- Not for regular players — it's a modder's resource, so if you're not making mods, skip it.
- Requires ACSE (Animal Customization Suite Extended) as a dependency, so you need that installed first.
For modders who create animal companions or creatures and want authentic, diverse names from real-world languages. If you're a player just looking for more pet names, this won't help directly — it's a toolkit for creators. Skip if you're not into mod development.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ACSE installed and updated before adding this mod — it's a hard dependency.
- If you're a modder, check the mod's file structure to see which languages are included; the description doesn't list them all.
- Since it's a modder's resource, you'll need to integrate the new name lists into your own mod's scripts or configs — it won't apply automatically.
