Ok, I am satisfied enough to start slowly adding back in CC and Mods. I was thinking about how I don't think some of the premade Sims names fit them and was thinking about changing them. For example, Mr Romero makes me think of a Reginald or a Giovanni or some romantic kind of hot guy name. While Mr Rocca needs a very passionate name like Eros or Adonis. I usually try to hook one of my households I am playing, with him, because of him being such a sweetie and very giving and passionate in his romantic relationships. There are others. Or I could just keep their names too. Just a thought.

I don't mind their original name but if I decided to play some of the townie I tend to give them a middle name.

I don't think I would like to change any premade sim names. I'm fine changing the random townie names though since a lot of them are bad foreign names that I don't really like.

I don't. If they are in the game already and have a name, they keep that name. I only name Sims I put in the game or that is born in the game. I tend to play a lot of Sims and don't really want to pick names for any that already have one. LOL.I do wonder though if I got a sim with a name I really disliked if that might prompt me to change it - but so far I don't tend to.

The only premade I've ever considered changing their name is Johnny Zest since he's actually a Landgraab. But in the end I resisted because I figured he gave himself that last name, it's a stage name, so I think it must mean something personally to him. In some save files I have moved him back into the Landgraab estate with Malcolm though after their parents are gone.Sometimes I don't change their last names after a marriage to one of my Sims either. Not everyone automatically changes their last name after getting married. Especially celebrities, authors, etc. 9/10 times I'll change it, but there's been a few I haven't for various reasons.I have no qualms about changing townie names, but that's another subject. :)

Nope. Changing their name would feel weird to me since I know them by their originals.

Does anybody else sometimes change the names of premades

Mr Romero is part of Paragon he is usually hooked with Sioban Fyres in the game. That is the game's doing not mine.

Yes I do, a lot. There is only so many sims named Tanaka, Mori, Ghandi, Geffedi, Mosouni and so on that I can tolerate. Ever since I bought CL every premade generated has a Far Eastern/middle eastern name, it’s not diverse. I’ve went so far as eliminating premades with mods, because the regeneration of same names and weird outfits is beyond annoying.

Wow someone else actually has this issue ! I love some diversity but ever since I bought City Living almost all the random townies are Tanakas or masoumis or hakashi ! I used to have hispanic last names , more common ones , South asian but now they're all extinct.

Exactly, and almost every sim generated by the wishing well (under wish for romance), and some working at the film studio have this issue too. Regardless, it seems, of their actual heritage. So yes I do change names.

I removed the “III” from J Huntington’s name because I think it looks weird if he has kids for it to be part of their names too. Other than that, no. Unless marrying Summer Holiday to a guy sim counts. Now she’s Summer Lockhart.

I think this might be one the one exception that I will change as well because that "lll" has always bothered me. :D

I recently started a save where I split all premade households made, changed all relationships to single, made everyone YA and turned MCCC loose on the town, just to see who it would pair with whom, with very interesting results :D . For that, I changed the last names of the previously married female premades, but that's the only time I ever felt the need to do that, otherwise they stay pretty much the same.
