Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
No matter what I change my Sims name to I cannot upload the sims to the gallery. This is just one example of one household but it's happening to me and my friends no matter who we try to upload or what the name is. I first tried to upload with names I have made, and when it didn't work, I used the in-game randomizer for first and last names. It still didn't work.
Same thing happened to me too last night. I tried to upload and it keep showing me disallowed words error even how hard i try to correct my description even I remove everything, name my sim "good good" and the upload name "good". It still shows disallowed words error

This name bug is so random it's crazy.

I created two characters from the anime Sailor Moon, where one is named Mamoru Chiba, and the other Motoki Furuhata. When trying to share it to the gallery, they complain that the name contains disallowed words.
Those deciding what is allowed and not as words/names should maybe reflect on the fact that different countries have different names. Both names are literally from a comic meant for young teens, which do not mean anything dirty, vulgar or whatever the game somehow thinks they mean.
I have made both these characters many years ago, and didn't have any problems then, so I don't know what happened, but I'm starting to get these messages more often, especially when making Japanese themed characters.
I want to get an answer as to why? And if it can get fixed?

Hi @RaiRai009 , I've merged your post in here, as you can see from previous reports there are a lot of words that are banned and that shouldn't. We have a way to report those, check out Cade's post on the very first page of this thread 🙂
(By the way, great choice for the characters' names, Motoki is one of my favourites in Sailor Moon!!)- 9 months ago
Thank you very much! Will check it out and follow the instructions.
I tried both characters alone to find out which of the two had the wrong name, and it seems to be Motoki. Since we both like him, I will try my best to make Motoki happen :D
