Married couples with different surnames

Post by Debbilu_7 »

Leanne Richards and Caspian Charlton have been married for quite awhile and have an infant son, Caleb. I was scrolling through "Relocate Existing Household" and noticed they were listed as the Richards family and I thought I had screwed up when I married them but it seems Leanne kept her maiden name. When they got married, she moved into Caspian's house and their son is Caleb Charlton. I'm guessing they show up as the Richards family because Leanne is highest on the Sim Tracker. I thought Leanne was showing up as Charlton before but now, I can't be sure. All the other couple and roommates share surnames.

Oh wow, that seems kind of odd. I didn't know that was possible in the game.

Maybe, the Firemonkeys are working on the name thingie? (And didn't get it to work like wanted, yet.) Players are asking for different names for room mates and unmarried couples for a long time already.

Did they stay different? I'm fine if it does but I hope if it "fixes" itself, the whole family doesn't switch to Richards since they show up as The Richards Family.

I have a married couple with 2 kids. The man and 2 kids have the same last name, my female sim never changed. Doesn't really bother me though since my sims are never in their actual homes haha.
