Can't reset a sim with "jr" in his name?

Hi @CareyEve36 try quotation marks around the last name including the junior
like this: resetsim Marcus "Flex jr"
does that help?

@CareyEve36 I'm not sure what problem you're having with your sim. However, if you SHIFT-click on the sim there'll be an option to "reset object". Who knows, maybe this will help.

To add to this: you may have to enter testingcheats true or on, first.

If you have MCCC you can reset the sim through there. I've also run into a problem where I've had to reset the aspiration in MCCC because I was getting a pop-up message. I don't think the name should keep you from resetting the sim but I know that issue won't solve itself just trying to reset the sim.

The normal "reset sim" doesn't work for all names, I've exprienced this before. There are problems if you have spaces or dots or lines in the name, I don't remember if they all cause problems or just some.

Any punctuation in a name as in Sulani names has given me problems in resetting names and this may your situation. What I did was temporarily change the name which enabled a reset, and then changed it back after.

So I don't know how to reset my sim who has jr in his last name? I type out the name as is, "first name" Last name jr" like for example if I typed out Marcus Flex jr and nothing is happening. Its not even saying sim not found?

I have a 'junior' in my game. I write it out like this: Joey (which is his nickname) Jr. as his first name, using his surname. Joey, Jr. Cantrell. See if that works for you.

Reminds me of "Falsehoods Programmers Believe about Names"

So, as a public service, I’m going to list assumptions your systems probably make about names. All of these assumptions are wrong. Try to make less of them next time you write a system which touches names.

People have exactly one canonical full name.
People have exactly one full name which they go by.
People have, at this point in time, exactly one canonical full name.
People have, at this point in time, one full name which they go by.
People have exactly N names, for any value of N.
People’s names fit within a certain defined amount of space.
People’s names do not change.
People’s names change, but only at a certain enumerated set of events.
People’s names are written in ASCII.
People’s names are written in any single character set.
People’s names are all mapped in Unicode code points.
People’s names are case sensitive.
People’s names are case insensitive.
People’s names sometimes have prefixes or suffixes, but you can safely ignore those.
People’s names do not contain numbers.
People’s names are not written in ALL CAPS.
People’s names are not written in all lower case letters.
People’s names have an order to them. Picking any ordering scheme will automatically result in consistent ordering among all systems, as long as both use the same ordering scheme for the same name.
People’s first names and last names are, by necessity, different.
People have last names, family names, or anything else which is shared by folks recognized as their relatives.
People’s names are globally unique.
People’s names are almost globally unique.
Alright alright but surely people’s names are diverse enough such that no million people share the same name.
My system will never have to deal with names from China.
Or Japan.
Or Korea.
Or Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Russia, Sweden, Botswana, South Africa, Trinidad, Haiti, France, or the Klingon Empire, all of which have “weird” naming schemes in common use.
That Klingon Empire thing was a joke, right?
Confound your cultural relativism! People in my society, at least, agree on one commonly accepted standard for names.
There exists an algorithm which transforms names and can be reversed losslessly. (Yes, yes, you can do it if your algorithm returns the input. You get a gold star.)
I can safely assume that this dictionary of bad words contains no people’s names in it.
People’s names are assigned at birth.
OK, maybe not at birth, but at least pretty close to birth.
Alright, alright, within a year or so of birth.
Five years?
You’re kidding me, right?
Two different systems containing data about the same person will use the same name for that person.
Two different data entry operators, given a person’s name, will by necessity enter bitwise equivalent strings on any single system, if the system is well-designed.
People whose names break my system are weird outliers. They should have had solid, acceptable names, like 田中太郎.
People have names.
