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

@MickCasanova wrote:

It's a whole lot simpler. From World View, of a given save, just change the names back in CAS and save the family. This bug only seems to affect games that were saved prior to the patch. Once the names of sims in the save have been edited and saved, upon return to that save, everything sticks as it should. Unfortunately, any and all saves prior to the patch will display the names of the original NPC they were changed from. This of course doesn't help much for people who have played a legacy game for years only to have it destroyed by an idiotic change.

I can attest that it applies to new games as well. Just started a whole new game this morning, took all the old save files out, added in only a dozen or so Sims from my library, and the game still had the same issue.

    I've also noticed that a number of sims I renamed many months ago now have their old names. For example, I found a better version of Miko Ojo, so the one I was using I renamed and changed around some to be a new Sim, now she is renamed Miko Ojo. This is common while going through my list. So I wonder how many sims whos names were changed are actually based off the sim the name was changed to

    @Ravingbantha Yes this is what I’m seeing as well, keeping copies of my legacy and save templates on my desktop for now. Luckily I have been using a test save since the patch to check mods.

    unfortunately, the patch released today did NOT address this issue. I loaded an older game, and the names were still reverted. So no joy here.EA, WAKE UP!
