In Japan, IIRC, it's traditional to take the family name that has more prestige. Male/female is unimportant.


That's how I do it in my town.  Just ask Darren Capp!  Dreamer and Goth don't mean nuttin' in this town honey, go back to Pleasantville where someone cares cuz I don't!!  ;D

I do it the way we do it at home, pick the last name I like best. In Germany the bride and groom can pick either name, it's completely up to them. That law has been around for about 15+ years now, and no one seems to be complaining.

I think legally there's nothing in the UK to prevent that, and never has been - often a wealthy family with only a daughter to inherit would insist on the girl's husband taking the family name so the line could be seen to continue!  However, unless the husband has a really awful name (like Sidebottom or Pigg) then tradition is still on the husband's side!

DrBeast:
Here in Greece tradition still talks, so only in some cases does the bride keep her last name along with her husband's. In the Sims however you could just go ahead and change the last name after the marriage (or anytime you want for that matter!) with SimPE and still keep JM's mod.

DuckSpeak:
In Korea where I used to live (That is NORTH Korea where The Sims 2 plays YOU  ::)) the children almost always take their father's surname, while the bride and groom keep theirs. Rather practical, considering that most of the population are constricted to a small surname pool. (Rather like the Sims, heh.)

I like to keep every family name intact so I decided against the hack.
