How unsafe is it to change sims' names?
moniquinin:
I screwed up in two ways - first I didn't realise how the wedding thing worked until it was too late - for some reason I thought that what mattered was who proposed to whom, not who went to the wedding arch first. Secondly, I gave a female name to a boy baby by mistake (I was presented with twins and hit enter before my brain caught up with my hand). The only thing I use in the game that gives me an option to change names is Merola's painting but I'm wondering if it's a VBT to do this or if this hack takes into account memories or whatever else that may be affected by name changes.
J. M. Pescado:
Changing names done with the Merolian painting, the Lot Debugger, or the spawnable Tombstone of Life and Death, as well as many other methods, is totally safe and has no effect on a sim. Do not perform a first-name change in SimPE, as this process is incomplete and does not correctly rename everything. Last names may be changed arbitrarily without harm in SimPE.

Very cool. I know you don't like to be thanked, but BAAAH! Now, is there a way to change the names of pets?

The phone has an option under the Pet Registry to rename a pet.

That explains why some of my sims names reverted after Glamour and Pets. :P I'll be sure to use the Lot Debugger next time instead of SimPE. But I had something weird happen the other day. I renamed my sim in SimPE to Rainbow Tigress, and when I got in the game, her name was Rainbow Gold! Now I know I didn't type Gold. I am not too concerned though because this hood was a throwaway and I intended her to get married and take her husband's name anyway, but that was totally weird. Just where did it pull that from???
