Different Last Name

[Flameangel]

In my Legacy family. My 2nd generation's 2nd child went to university and got engaged. She moved back in with her family. Then she got married. Instead of her last name being pennington like the rest of her family it's now king! Can I change it back? Cause the whole family has to be called Pennignton or whatever the name is!

[suitemichelle]

Actually it's tradition for the wife to take the husband's name, isn't it? where did the wedding take place? His place or hers?

[aharris]

I must have missed that rule when I was reading the legacy rules. I thought the ten generations merely had to be related by blood and living in the same house. If that's the case, then I've already fragged my legacy and my first kiddo hasn't even been born yet. Oh, well, I still find my large sandbox hood to be infinitely more fascinating anyhow . . .

They married at her place.

I think that some sims keep their names no matter where they marry. One of mine married the Vince Walters the headmaster and sure enough, she became a Walters, and when they moved into their own house they were the Walters Household. I thought it was nice, very traditional, actually.

Does it matter that the last names are different? Because it's my legacy

It's not the place where they marry, it's a matter of which sim initiates the ceremony, either by clicking the altar or by Propose -> Marriage. The couple will take the last name of the initiating sim.

Oh, Ok thank-you.

That's very unusual and likely represents either a smuggled hack or a bug, because I recently *DID* an unreleased hack to do traditional naming rules, and there's definitely no such exception.

[Flameangel]

I seem to have a LOT of hacks that are really messing my game up! Is there somthing that will get rid of all of this?! I can't see any of these hacks! Also I can't reinstall because the seconed disk to TS2U is MISSING!!!

[J. M. Pescado]

Yeah, nuke your entire downloads folder. That will eliminate all of the hacks.

Just to make sure, the WHOLE family need to have the last name for the purposes of the legacy don't they?

Humm, that's very interesting, JMP. I did have a few of your hacks, but if it was unreleased, well, then I wouldn't of had it, now would I?:p I'll bet he was bugged.

No, just the ones carrying on the Legacy. The ones who stays in the home and breeds with NPC's. The way I understand it, if you are not keeping ALL the children in the home, you can marry them off or move them onto another lot and let them live out normal lives with cheats, CAS-Made or game born Sims, etc.

Thanks Kristalrose, I'm trying to keep mine all with the same name at the minute, that'll be even more of a challenge though!

[Flameangel]

I just won't marry the kings kids.. Then it will go back to Pennington.... That is if I can get my game back..
