Is there any way to find a Sim's maiden name in the Sims 4?

I never saved a certain couple to my Gallery, which shouldn't have been a problem because I was never planning on changing their names. But when I got them married, MCCC automatically changed one of their names. Unfortunately this was a first generation Sim with no kids, so as far as I can tell there's no trace of her original last name. Is there any way to find it?

  • @fitetoon Hello!  Look for a text file in your mods folder labeled mc_cmd_center.  This file keeps track of the changes made to the game; marriages, babies, etc.  You may be able to see your sim's original name there.  If you never saved the sim to your library, this is the only way I can think of to find their maiden name.  Fair warning, I think this file may be overwritten between sessions.  So if you exited the game and launched a new one, it may be lost.  Hope this helps!

    Edit: Just to be sure, I exited and relaunched my game.  The file is most certainly overwritten between sessions.  I don't think it tracks babies born but it definitely tracks marriages, homeless creations, age-up's and other things.
