Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? There are 2 things to consider. [1] Play the game normally. [2] In CAS menu, create a new sim and click [Dice] icon to randomize it.
What happens when the bug occurs? [1] Sometimes, you'll notice the game create 2+ same name sim/pet. This may result to unidentified problems because they can't target uniquely from 'get_sim_id_by_name'. Also, what if my played sim name is "Ayaka Okada" already? [2] Let's say the game picked "Ayaka Okada" name. You can create the sim without any name notification.
What do you expect to see? [1] Add a isUnique-name-check system to random-sim-creation system to prevent duplicates. (if the named sim already exists/passed away, don't use this name and pick another[this does not "deleted" sim; deleted sim name can be reused]) [2] When the player picked already-exist sim name in "newly created sim", show a warning that "this name is already exists, would you like to continue?".
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
User-friendly system is important.
