Longer Names in The Sims 4

TarruviTarruvi Posts: 1,227 Member
The ability to have longer First and Last names in TS4 would be great, and helpful.

Helpful? Well, there is a sim by the name of Olivia Spencer-Kim-Lewis. Her last name can be troublesome, for you cannot modify her without losing a few(or more) characters.

Having the ability to create longer names would be awesome, and ease the stress of playing the Spencer-Kim-Lewis household. :)

    I totally agree; I'd love longer names in the game. And maybe a middle name option too??

    I'd really appreciate a middle name option as well however long names are already possible:

    I'm planning on having Alice hire Mitchel as a live-in manny (male nanny) to take care of her daughter. If all goes according to plan, Olivia will be Olivia Spencer-Kim-Lewis-Kallani :D

    I'm fine with sims have a first and last name I don't need a middle, left, right, centre, east, west, above and bellow names.

    Plus that would slightly influence the performance of the game in a negative way which I do not need.

    You'll need a script to edit names... Try this one:

    http://www.mediafire.com/download/ah5d628ax2a82na/Sasquatch-ChangeSimName.zip

    Usage: change_sim_name "Long First Name with Dashes or Spaces" "Long Last Name with Dashes or Spaces"

    Changes the name of the selected sim. If you're entering a hyphenated name with no spaces then there is no need for quotation marks.

    Thanks @Forest_Ninja !

    If only we had the ability to create longer names Without the help of mods. XD

    I'll be using that script though. :o

    I understand, but those scripts don't really modify anything, they just call functions which were created by the devs to allow content creators to interface with the engine. That script won't ever conflict since it only sets the name value without overriding anything and I'll be releasing the full set of my scripts with the next expansion since it doesn't appear that anyone is interested in extending the current features.

    So, the script creates a link to making longer names possible? Cool! :P

    Haha, yeah it's super funny to me that this pre-made sim has a last name we could never choose to give a sim ourselves :-P

    I would absolutely LOVE to have a middle name option. So many people have middle names in real life, so why not add an optional name box (or several!) for middle names?

    Please, thanks.
