@thedirectorlives In the very beginning, you couldn't change the last name without a cheat. I don't even remember if there was a popup ?
This is how it was in the beginning: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Why-doesn-t-the-option-to-change-surname-come-up-when-sims/m-p/3527209#M2664 then they added CAS change without a cheat but now I'm unsure if there was a pop-up
This also doesn't talk about a pop-up: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Questions/PS4-Marriage-Names/m-p/6441725#M1579
EDIT: Also found this old thread: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/896989/wife-name-change-on-marriage-pop-up-option-options-husband-spouse-hyphen-no-change so maybe make a post in feedback ?
@crinrict Yeah, after that they added a pop-up (It was like the change baby name pop-up. Before the new UI stuff.) for a short while and it disappeared without as much as a mention.
I know it was 2018 or 2019 because my save is that long and it showed up with the second and third generation of my Sims. I didn't take the option with the older Sims, but with the younger Sims, I did. One of those Sims is still alive to this day.

- @thedirectorlives Do you have a picture of the pop-up ? Maybe it was something they tried on console ? I can't remember there ever being one.
You can easily change names anytime by clicking a mirror and "Change Sim".
You can even do it at the wedding venue right after the ceremony if you want 🙂
Not all methods of entering CAS offer the name change option.
- @mightyspritesims See, the wedding arch option is the one I mean. That doesn't consistently show up.
- @crinrict Unfortunately no, as I only recently learnt how to screenshot on Xbox. I have a very good memory and I remember it looking like the screen when you get a child from adoption and rename it. (The only one that hasn't been changed, come to think of it.)
