Moon Base Charlie /Moon Base Delta w/Sims

Urgh, sorry it's been quite the day and I got delayed again--phone ringing, post holiday stuff, more requests for more get-togethers. :roll:. Anyway I only just got to try and set up on MBD and as I was putting my test sim in, in the initial set up the town was empty. I put him in the Empty Crates house that I'd previously decorated and saved to the bin and put back in. At any rate as soon as he was placed the town filled up with families but they all say something like NRaas Porter:Name of Family instead of just the family name. And they weren't there from the begginning. Is this typical of pre populating a world or did something glitch for me?

Sigh I have to go and make a late dinner. I hope I can get time to test tonight. I'm sorry I kept getting delayed today. I hope to have better luck with my schedule tomorrow.
