Changing ethnicities percentage

[JMKraus]

I created a custom league and I noticed a lack of black and hispanic players. How do I change the percentage so it becomes more realistic?

In commissioner mode, under the "Game" drop-down menu, go to "Explore World." Choose a nation and select "Nation Editor." You'll see a list of ethnicities and percentages that you can change.

The original file the game uses is very, very, very outdated and wrong. Years ago, someone didn't like having black players with European names, so they segregated the player files and we've been stuck with this terrible existence ever since.

We've posted about this many times, but naturally it gets ignored and you have to use a mod to fix the ethnicity ratios. Some really good sets in the names mods subfolder, thankfully.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. OOTP basically incorporated Questdog's namesets in version 19. That was the first set that had a separate nameset for African-American names. I don't think anyone didn't want black players having European names. Rather, people wanted black players to have the kinds of names that they actually have. And that includes "European" names. There are still plenty of Jasons and Jordans in that nameset.

If a gamer starts a game with the default US nation settings, then there should be a very diverse mix of names and facegens. Not sure why the OP wasn't getting that, but he's playing a custom league so that's probably at the root of the problem.
