Last name didn't change after getting married.
I moved two sims in together and when they got married, the female still has the same last name she did before they got married, and their child has her last name.

I really think saying this is about feminism or about EA not supporting marriage is giving the issue way more weight than it deserves. It is an issue, maybe even a bug (which, I mean, come on, we bought The Sims X, we KNEW we were getting bugs). They'll either fix it or ignore us, probably the latter since that's their historical take on many issues, depending on how wrapped into a last name other code is. I suspect this isn't an easy fix and was a known issue before launch. There are several sites on the iNet where people who either played prerelease or got leaked information listed issues...some of which have come to pass in the final release, and others that, thankfully, haven't.
Work-arounds via testingcheats are just a part of playing The Sims to me at this point. Perhaps Maxis is a decent company, but EA isn't, and I've yet to play something they touched that wasn't borked horribly in some important way....at the same time, they have amazing titles that are the equivalent of videogame crack, and so I'm here with my $70 copy of The Sims 4 for better or worse.
