Middle names

A minor(?) character in my Gen 6 is royalty so he (and his father) has 4 names+ unused last name and my heiress' two children will have 3 names each (1 first name and 3 middle names)+Swansons

Um can't you just type two names in the name bar?

1. There isn't always enough space.
2. Middle names aren't always a part of the first name. And not the last name either. It's a middle name and should be treated as such.

I wouldn't object to it, but I don't know that it is a necessity for me. Push comes to shove, you can always just add a second name to the first name.

The game won't know the difference though. Even if we had the place for the middle name, the game would either not say the name or it would say it along with the rest of the name. And the latter can be done with just the first name bar. I can't think of a moment where the game would say or not say the middle name. It either say the first name or the first and last name. And if you hardly (or n)ever see the name in the game... is it really necessary?
I dunno what the character limit is but they could just expand the limit of it, would solve the problem. Maybe some modder has done it?

Albums Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. I’m a potter head too. :smile:

It would be better if when you go to make a new sim the name field by default had one box with a plus sign next to it so you can append more than one name to it. I'm tired of having to result to tricks like alt+255 in one of the slots so sims could have one name. Honestly, it might just be better to have the default setting for a sim in Create-A-Sim be one text field with a plus option to add on a middle and a last name or as many names as you could possibly need.

Haha gosh, yes this too!! I do have a sim who's only known by a single, three-letter name, literally nobody knows his last name, so it's kind of annoying when thr game forces me to pick one for him. His last name is not "-", it literally does not exist.

So name diversity in general would be great.
