Seems this was fixed with the patch as well as there was no answer.
Going to mark this as fixed for now but leave open for a moment longer.
Please post if you still newly have this on a vanilla game.
Same. Can confirm this happened on PS4 AND PC. This is happening ONLY with Maxis created pack townies though & no other sims. Not even random generated sims found in world. I can provide details.
I have used the Morgyn Ember sim to create Morgana Macawber (from Darkwing Duck) & she is now renamed Morgyn Ember. When I download Morgana (who was uploaded last year as Morgana) from the Gallery she is now renamed Morgyn. No other changes. The gallery even shows her named Morgana.
I also used Sergio Romeo to make Gladstone Gander. Gladstone was then cloned to make Mark Beaks & Mark Beaks was cloned, then aged down to make Boyd Gearloose. All three of these Sims are now in my game named Sergio Romeo. I forgot I used Sergio to make them! Anyways on the gallery they too are called Gladstone, Mark & Boyd. All were created in 2019 but not uploaded until 2020. I am providing screenshots of the gallery listings & how they appear in my game on both PS4 & PC. All gallery Sims were uploaded before the latest update.
I know though that the problem for me is only Maxis sims because I did this same process with MANY of my families. Many of them were created BEFORE play with genetics was added. One of my oldest families the "Goofs & Geefs" was originally created in early 2019. Goofy Goof was created in CAS using a townie I found & liked the look of. I cannot recall the name but I was at the time very bad at creating Sims so I did this a lot. I then uploaded Goofy to my PS4 library (Gallery did not exist yet). I added him to my family 5 times then changed the sims in CAS to create Marth Geef, George Geef, Max Goof etc. All the sims were created off Goofy but aged up, down or gender changed to fill out the whole family then slightly edited to make them look different enough. All these sims should have the name Goofy Goof but they retain there given names on PS4 & PC.
Daisy Duck was also another Sim in my original game play from 2018 when I 1st bought the game. She was used to create her whole family as well Donna, April, May & June. Daisy should be named something like Sandra & so should the rest of the family but she remains Daisy.

Sorry for the length of links but I wanted to provide as much info as possible for the devs. I can upload a save as well but I'm fairly sure it would be pointless as this happens on all platforms. Tell me otherwise if I am wrong.
