Marriage not changing name?

I've had two sims married so far, and I've noticed with each one, it is not changing the name of my "Bride' sim. I just got my sim Candace married and her last name remained Hart =(

This intended? (I hope not =( ) or just a buggybug?

    It happened to me too and I'm peeved about it. I was going to hold off on marrying my other sims under this glitch is fixed but I don't have the patience. I just want them to have a family already :/

    There's a workaround for us in the meantime.

    1. Pull up the cheat command console with <shift> <ctrl> C
    2. Type testingcheats on
    3. Type cas.fulleditmode
    4. <shift>-click on one of the sims and choose Modify in CAS
    5. Change the bride's name
    6. Click the check mark to go back into the game

    Just be warned the cheat has a chance to mess up your family relationships.

    Yeah my sim wooed another sim I made named Mayumi Sotomura, and when they married, she didn't get the hubbies last name. So my work around was to use the cheat to unlock CAS full edit mode and manually changed the name.

    I hope they can at least add in a patch a simple name change option through the phone for a fee or something.

    They should give an option -- keep names as is or change names with the choice of what to change name to, so if you wanted a hyphenated name or if you had a same-sex wedding where you wouldn't necessarily have a single groom (either two men or two women marrying), you'd have a choice. Some women do keep their original last names for professional purposes; I could see my comedian Sim wanting to keep her name for that reason.
