So,I named my sim Valentina Vamp and for some reason I can't have her in the gallery because of her name.I am assuming it is "Vamp" that is the reason for it not being allowed but I don't get why.She's a vampire so I named her and her parent with Vamp as their surname.Hopefully the name will show up on here and someone will have an answer to this question though I'm not expecting a clear answer as to why it is banned.Also,I wasn't sure which category on the forums to put this in and that is why it's in the general discussion section.

It's very annoying though. Once I made Muffi from harvest moon and it wouldn't let me upload her either
I had to look it up too, i've never heard anyone using that word in such a way.
Yeah, I mean when I read this thread I was like... vamp seems right for a vampire.
I'm sorry you had issues OP
I tried to recreate a person I know named Hussein in real life as a Sim and I get the same message about how the family cannot be uploaded everytime I go into CAS. Doesn't bother me though.

I know it is lol. But I think in this case it works. I wasn't trying to be offensive. I just thought "Well,She's a vampire.Why not call her Vamp?" lol. I actually thought it sounded cute. I guess I shouldn't care so much that I can't have her in the gallery but it's not like I gave her some disgusting sounding name.At least in my opinion. I think the name is just fitting for a vampire.
Yep! I think it's perfect. Lol.
I doubt it but who knows.
It doesn't. Names have to have the same rules for each gender. Calling a male sim 5lut doesn't work and neither does it for females so I think the same thing applies here.
Of course Vamp, like many words, has multiple meanings. Only one is a woman who uses her charm or wiles to seduce and exploit men. I think you would be hard pressed to find it used in pejorative sense in todays vernacular. But it is a good example of the inappropriate results of automated censorship. These forums have a Teen rating. We seem perfectly able to stick within those bounds without too much difficulty.
Keith Richards plays a particularly well known vamp in Start Me Up.
There was one forum I used to go on where it was so bad that you couldn't even use the word "assess."
I have macho anime-turned-sims men to share with the word and it cramps my style when I can't properly name them.

Here are some examples of the hilarity that ensues:
Nachbarschaft. English translation: neighbourhood
Warschau. English translation: Warsaw (yes, Warsaw, the capital of Poland )
Radarschüssel. English translation: radar dish
Barschfänger. English translation: someone who fishes perches (likewise, "Barsch" is banned but it means nothing else than "perch")
As you can clearly see, none of these have particularly much in common with "arsch". Nachbarschaft for example is a mix of "Nachbar" and "schaft" so they aren't even perceived with that meaning by anyone.
I already made a bug report for that almost two months ago, but nothing has changed yet. Actually, I made fun of it by creating a Sim called Marschall Radarschüssel (Marshal Radar Dish) right after writing that bug report. Obviously though I couldn't upload him to the gallery yet
But I have to thank the gallery. Thank it for never being able to read "Warschau" in the same way ever again
