Hi, I registered only to reply to your thread, because I know you're unlikely to get replies. Sims 4 as many other games does not support Right to Left languages. The characters are not showing because there is no font file inside the game that have them. Even when you place the correct font file, the characters will still show messed up in order and not linked, because the game engine does not support correct shaping of letters (finding the form of a letter in the middle of the word or if two characters should be linked or split) So to be able to display Arabic correctly you need to: - Add Arabic Font - Translate the texts - Shape the translated texts using a program in order to calculate letter shapes before putting translated text back in game - Place the shaped texts (strings) in the game I have solved most of the issues, and working on a translation of the game, you are welcome to contribute at: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xaVvEXwtIG_GxLR3TUJ-4xwAbwtNw0Q2rHy23gD1Qw8I will pack into a mod and release once I finish probably.
