    @Kimjon08 yea same here!

    After figuring out why my save file was broken, I found out that Cottage Living broke my save file to a point where I couldn't play it anymore, it wouldn't let me click on pause/play, in BnB mode and save it.
    It was BAAAD...
    I'm so glad that I was able to fix my save file with a backup file before Cottage Living broke my file.
    I was finally able to try and change the last names on some of my married sims and I was able to change them but as soon as I changed back into edit World or changed the instance, they got changed back to their OG last names which sucks really bad...
    I'm trying to ignore the last names but if you've been playing a specific save file for a while and want to have a realistic family line/story, it's hella annoying and just wish that EA could fix that asap!

    Noticed today that my game is also infected by this awful bug. Some names are totally gone, some only have the surename and some only the first name. I can't believe how much this latest patch & pack broke this time. The game is hardly playable anymore and it gets worse and worse with each patch. And having all those new Cottage Living bugs as already mentioned in other bug reports gives me headaches. 40€ just for more and more bugs.

  • @Zycele Same, I can change the last name but as soon as I travel to another place, all my married sims last names go back to their maiden name . It affects the newborns too who end up having their mom's maiden name, rather than the family name.

    Is there any way to edit the [names of] Sims who have been lost to the netherworld? Using MCC, I can find them (and their headshots) under the Summon interaction, but they cannot be summoned.

    Sometimes, in certain saves, Sims would lose their names when visiting some Lots - most notoriously the Goth’s Lot but it could happen anywhere. If a Sim has no name… does that Sim exist? I can assure you that the Goths were not involved, but this issue should no longer occur.

    Fixed in Patch 1.79.93/1.47

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

    Please not that already lost names will probably need to be edited in manually. You should no longer loose them again after that though.
