Where are the death files?

[joos]

I have never modded before and I plan to try something simple. I am thinking of making a mod that will replace the usual 'died of natural causes' with something more plausible and with flavor. Can anyone help me find out where the files for reporting death are?

A tip for the future so you don't have to ask for help on the forum each time you wish to find something in the localisation files: use ctrl+F and type in phrases that would be relevant to what you're trying to find, in this case type in "Died of natural causes" in the finder for each locale file, until you find what you're looking for and are able to edit it.

I actually did exactly that, but for some reason, it doesn't search inside CSVs.

That's quite odd, do you use Microsoft excel or notepad for browsing the .csv's?
