You can also change a sim's name by holding shift and clicking on them, and selecting the create a sim button to edit anything about them, even if it is not your active sim.

 * 2) Turn on testingcheatsenabled true.
 * 3) Then, shift click your sim.There will be an option to change the Sim in CAS.
 * 4) There you go! You actually don't even have to select the Sim you want. Just shift click anyone! It works.
