How do you change a sim's last name after marriage?

My sims' last names haven't been changing once they get married. Does anybody know how to change their last name, or is this a bug?

    I think it's a bug. I've seen lots of threads about this.

    I believe for now it can be done by bringing the family into CAS from edit town or something along those lines.

    It does the same thing for same sex marriage, I was expecting a screen to change name... hyphenate or keep same last name... instead nothing happened.

    I did this to change the last name of my partner BUT save it before you do this because someone told me it can mess up other relationships you have in the house. So if you and the spouse are alone it works because I did it but if not then take heed.

    Here is the cheat:
    testingcheats true
    caas.fulleditmode
    shift click on sim
    choose modify in cas
    Now you can change their last name

    Thanks Glimmer! I will try this also. Just to throw out there, I had tried this but was unable to change the name. Now, I see that you have (caas.fulleditmode)... Is this correct or should it be cas.fulleditmode?

    I'd like to add that CAS.fulleditmode works without enabling testing cheats as well. If you type the cheat into the window and then click on a dresser and pick "Plan Outfits", it works exactly the same.

    Okay, I just finished testing this cheat code and these are the instructions you can follow to change the name(s) of your simmies.

    RENAMING Your Sims in Sims4!

    Cntrl + Shift + C
    A box should prompt for you to enter your code…

    1. Enter this cheat code (without brackets); ( testingcheats true )
    2. Press Enter
    You should see something that says, “Cheats are enabled”.
    3. Next Enter this cheat code (without brackets); ( cas.fulleditmode )
    4. Press Enter... Click on the, ESC key to clear the box where you entered your code.
    5. Select the Sim you want to change the name for.
    6. Shift and Left Click on the Sim. I saw, (3) prompts to select from… You will select, “Modify in CAS”.
    7. You will be transported to the Create a Sim area, where you created your Sim.
    8. You will see a ‘pencil’ indicator, showing that you are in “Edit Mode”. You can change your Sims name(s), for each Sim you want to change.
    9. When you have finished, click on the ( Check Mark) to resume Play. You will be transported back to your game.
    10. When you have returned to your game, Cntrl + Shift + C and
    Enter this cheat code (without brackets); ( testingcheats false ).
    11. Press Enter.
    You should see something that says, “Cheats already disabled”. I guess it disables automatically when you are transported
    back to your game.
    12. Click the ESC key to clear the box where you entered your code.

    **Please Note: You will ONLY be able to enter (15) characters for the First name. I would think the same goes for the Last name also.

    What is wrong with EA? How could they spend so much effort on stuff nobody cares about and leave something so obvious like this out of the game?
