Re: Sims' name changed after update, can't fix permanently

Looking...

Ok, you will need to do it from a sim's computer. Just go to your sim's PC and click on it. Go into MC Command Center / MC Cleaner / Sim Cleaner / Sync Married Names

You can set it to Disabled and it should never do it.

You might also need to go into "MCCC Settings / Relationship Settings / Relationship Culling" and set that to MC Cleaner Relationship Culling. Not sure about that. If you disable that, it might not do ANY relationship story progression. I would make sure this setting is ON and Sync Married Names is OFF.

One thing to remember, this change will be saved in MCCC's config file. So, you won't ever have to make the change again. It will keep the setting for ALL saves, playthroughs, and households.

You are splendid, thanks so much! I got MCCC before the update and hadn't noticed the change apparently, so thought it was the game rather than the mod. It does some weird things, but I think I'm getting things back where they should be. Thanks for your help!

@cathteg I don't think the vanilla game changes the last names to match. Actually I don't know any more. I've been running with MCCC for so long now I can't remember what it's like without it. It's definitely one of my must-have mods.

Glad to hear everything's working properly!

@Psychotps I am having this problem and this process won't allow me to change it in SYNC married names. Enabled is set by default and won't change.

I've been noticing MCCC's been having some conflicts lately with a number of mods. They won't help on the discord and finding the conflicts is SUPER time consuming. I currently noticed a conflict with pregnancy in MCCC and another mod. I've been trying to find the conflict for almost a year and haven't found it yet.

If you change the setting, and it either doesn't change, or changes and you leave and go back in and it's back to what it was before... It's a conflict.

All I can say is... good luck finding it.
If you ever figure it out, for the LOVE OF GOD... POST IT somewhere! So others don't have to spend a year figuring it out.
