On, and the name issue you have - that is not your fault and you most likely did name everything. I have noticed every since LN a lot of buildings are not retaining their names, not in the worlds and not in the library. I have lots and houses I keep in a folder on my desktop fully named and then I put them in a world and they sometimes show just a blank when I click or hoover over them in the game. Sure enough when I check my library the descriptions and names will also be missing suddenly in the library also. Just like the lots I added to Mesa Valley for SOCL, they all had names and descriptions and I have since found at least 4 that have lost their names and descriptions as well as a couple of the buildings that were already in MV - I know the gym was one of them, and I don't remember which other one it was. So ingame I just went into edit town and readded the infor on the description. But for some odd reason what ever EA did to fix LN broke some of the names. They did this once before but instead of the lots going blank they went to that World - houses-- yada yada yada business and that was like after the 4th base game patch before we even had an EP. I think WA fixed the issue or the patch for WA did, but this time they broke it worse than the first time. So you are not going c r a c k e r s , you most likely wrote the descripts and names and the game just randomly choose to eat those for lunch or something. It is annoying after the second or third time at having to rewrite names.
By the way don't go sweating wood/no wood look. If somebody doesn't like it, they can change it to anything they want - RIGHT PEOPLE!!!!! Rflong should not have to be worried about meeting everyones likes and dislikes for something as trivial as paint on walls, furn, etc. It is not like EA gave her much appropiately space age paints and furniture to use, so give the girl a break and when we have helped her make this world perfect, then paint it the way you like it. Some people are always going to find something they don't like as far as designs and colors go, I assure you I almost immediately redo two thirds of EA's paint jobs on lots and houses with every new ep, but I surely don't go complaining to EA that my taste does not agree with theirs. As a well known tester of worlds, I can tell you the creators want you to report oddities and problems, maybe even add a suggestion for a new style of house or even a sim, but color and furnishings are really something we only need to be concerned about once the project is considered finished, the testing is all done, and the world is ready to go. Remember anything you don't like is changeable, but there is a difference between not liking something, and the world having a problem. It's the problems we really need to look for and concentrate on so we can help Rflong.
I am not trying to be mean or a b u t t - i n - ski, but I have tested worlds since world testing started and know what it is the creators want and need to know. Rflong is a sweety and will never complain, and she tries hard to please everyone, but she shouldn't have to. Look at all the work she does just to share with us. So please people, even though Rflong won't say it, I will - concentrate on helping us all have a great playing world by finding anything wrong that cannot be painted or decored away. Much appreciated.
