marriage and last names.
Liss:

Oh my, Oh my - LOL...:) - "mum" is the word...:).
ZephyrZodiac:
What's wrong with the tradition in many Asian countries of both parties keeping their last name? I believe in some cultures, female children take the mother's last name, male children take the father's.
Or also, there's the Spanish tradition of keeping both names. Perhaps what's needed is an alternative hack which allows the player to choose the name, after all, the household name is already determined and may well be different from either party.
witch:
For example, in Sikh culture, the male's lastname is Singh, the female's lastname is Kaur.
PS, offtopic; does anyone know whether there are any sim turbans around?

I recall that as a result, Spanish names get incredibly unwieldy until they're finally truncated for usability. The same problem obviously manifests itself with the new practice of hyphenated names (which I consider to be an abomination!).
Unfortunately, the marriage naming thing is buried sufficiently deeply that it's not practically feasible to go about making a dialog for it. Furthermore, when it comes to determining baby last names, this always defaults to the mother's last name, and messing with that will probably stomp on some more toes. All in all, it's either the inconsistency of it always being the controllable sim's name, the playing the move-in/move-out game (generating a ton of garbage memories and breaking "marry a rich sim"), or the consistency imposed by installing this hack. Up to you.
