Re: Base Game Suggestion- Choose last name opition after marriage

@Zhongven01 you have control over that in your game already. All you need to do is go into Create a Sim via a mirror or dresser using Change Sim and alter their name after marriage. In Manage Households you can also edit their family name for their household as well.

I usually add a hyphenated name for my Sims after they are married. The box in CAS could do with being a little larger though to fit longer double barrel surnames after marriage. But you can at least change the name at any point if you want.

    I know we can do that already, but I think there should be an option after the Sim's marriage. Like when there's a pop-up text telling if you want to move in with your spouse. Besides, I don't always want to open CAS.

    @Zhongven01 I see so something a bit like the pop up we get when there's a child or pet adoption or when there's a birth so you can just type in the surname if you wanted it.

    I'm also finding that married couples have to have the same last name. So even if I change them to have their original last names before they married, when I load back into the household, they've changed to update the female sim's last name to the male's last name. I really dislike that it defaults to always changing the female sim's last name. It's a very old fashioned way of doing things.
