[CHEAT] Some Cheats Don't Work for Sims With Apostrophe in Name

Sims like Paka'a Uha or Alice Spencer-Kim can't be targeted by resetsim in the console because their names contain non-alphabetic characters (' and - in their cases, haven't checked for numerals or other non-alphabetic characters but presume it applies to any non-alphabetic character in a name.)

I don't know if there are any other console commands besides resetsim that target a sim by their name. It seems odd that players (and devs) can give sims names that can not be recognized by a console command.

Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title fit old bug report.

  • Hi richvh​ 

    I have no issues with Alice Spencer-Kim. Both Reset and ID cheat work fine for her for me.

    Adjusted this to be about the apostrophe for now like the ancient report.

    crinrict​ Well, I thought it hadn't worked on my sim Michelle Dickinson-Endo, but just tried again and it worked. I must have had a typo. I haven't tried it on Paka'a Uha for years, so don't know if it still doesn't work.
