Wrong popup name for the last Sims in CAS

Version 2.19.4.2310

Hi,
When calling the CAS, the popup on the last Sims doesn't display its name, but the one of the first sim.

I.e. : Load the CAS for the Gothik familly.
At startup, the popup (at left-bottom) show "Patrick Gothik", that is correct for the first member of the familly. OK, no bug here 😎.

Now, if you move the cursor on the last Sims, it show again "Patrick Gothik" 🤥 !
This is a baby and its name is "Cédric Gothik", but the popup display is wrong :

Note that, this bug only happen at startup of CAS.

Later, if you select another member of the family (like "Carmen Gothik"), and move the cursor on the last Sims, now it's correct : this time, the name "Cédric Gothik" is well displayed in the popup.

Edit By Crinrict: Removed unnecessary tag.

    No, I have the issue with all households, not specific to baby.

    Another example : I load a classic familly with "Camille Abizza" at first position, and "Morgan Park" at last.
    When moving the cursor on the last icon, it display "Camille Abizza" :

    But, if I click on it, the character is loaded and now the popup correctly display as "Morgan Park" :

     

  • Does it matter how you go to CAS ?

    I tried from the household manager and mirror and can't duplicate the issue on PC. Possibly an XBox/Console issue.

    Hi,
    I've done some additional research to try to better understand this bug:

    - I own both models of XBox console, I tried on both and we have the same bug on Series X and Series S.
    - I also tried with a different player profile and started a new game. It's the same, the bug is still there and doesn't seem to be related to profiles or saves.
    - I used the Xbox controller instead of the mouse to move the cursor, same thing, no change. When pointing on "Morgan Park" icon, I got popup "Camille Abbiza" :

    I used three methods to open the CAS. In all cases, I have the bug, however, one case has a small variation.

    - Life mode / Simology / Enter create a Sim:

    - Manage worlds / Manage households / Edit-add-remove in Create a Sim:

    Similar to previous, with the ability to add a new sim to the household.

    - Cheat mode, using Shift + click, then "Modify in CAS":
    Here, I have a small variation.
    The name displayed in the popup is not the first, but the second "Hunter Evans" 😄.

    I hope this will be helpful in identify the source of the bug.
    Fortunately, it's not a very annoying or blocking bug.

  • So I tested the three cases. Used a different family this time as the first one had a pet. 

    I can duplicate it with families with no pets.
