Title: Changing Strays' Family Name Post by: sloppyhousewife on 2010 August 23, 07:27:14 In my current neighborhood, the strays' family name is the same as one of my playable families'. This is pretty annoying, because every time I want to summon one of said playables (using Inge's cat), I have to click through a bunch of pets.
Now I'm wondering if I can change the strays' name (e.g. to "Strays" :P) without messing anything up? And if so, is it enough to just change the Family Information label, or is there something else I have to do? Title: Re: Changing Strays' Family Name Post by: rufio on 2010 August 23, 14:08:27 Yeah, I'm pretty sure if you just find the family information resource in SimPE corresponding to the strays family and change its name to something else it will be fine. I haven't actually done it with non-playable families yet, but I've heard of people who have changed the names of all of the NPC/townie families to something rational, and nothing blew up.

I *know* that I've read that it was safe before, but I couldn't find the thread, so I thought I'd better double check. |
