Re: [FIXED] Sims lose their first and last names

@MickCasanova's suggestion of manually re-typing names seems to work, and restores names lost to living Sims. As for the deceased Sims, I haven't yet found a solution.

    Just discovered yet another issue tied to this name change thing. It would appear that the change is also tied to any sims made prior to the 1.77 patch. So if you used one of the original NPC sims as a seed for your sim creation, and saved it to your library before the patch, once it is deployed in a new game after the 1.77 patch, the name will also revert to the original. So this bug not only affects old saves, but more importantly it will also revert sims saved prior to the patch. This is a real game breaker since there are millions of sims potentially affected in the Gallery. Obviously, this goes well beyond the Gallery.
