Many times in ''The Sims'' series, players will end up wanting to change their Sims' names. Maybe they spelled it wrong, maybe they changed their mind, maybe they married someone with a weird name. Here isare a tutorialtutorials on how to change an unwanted name.
 
== The Sims 2 ==
===Changing First and Last Names with SimPE===
*This waymethod of changing names requires [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. SimPe may '''not '''update all references correctly for first names (see notes).
#Open [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]].
#Click "Neighborhood Browser," and choose the neighborhood the Sim you want to rename lives in.
#After the files open up, click on "Sim Browser," and look for that Sim.
#After selecting the Sim you want to rename, click the More button then select the ''Open Character File'' option.
##*If all you can see is a dark screen showing the neighborhood's icon, population, universities and description (if any), but none of the Plugin View buttons (Overview, Career, Relations, Interests, Character, Skills, Other and More), just select the '''Plugin View''' tab at the lower left corner of the screen (right before ''Package'').
#After opening the character file, select the '''Catalog Description''' resource.
#You should see the first name of that Sim inside the ''String'' text box. Use the up and down arrows to the left of the text box to select which of the three strings to view. The '''first''' (0) is the Sim's ''first name'', the '''second''' (1) is the Sim's ''description/bio'' (usually blank for most Sims) and the '''third''' (2) is the Sim's ''surname''. Change those strings for other languages if needed.

As of [[The Sims 3/Patch 22|patch 1.22]], players can use the <code>testingCheatsEnabled true</code> cheat and shift+click the target Sim to access the CAS menu by using the "Edit in CAS" option. This will send Sims to CAS, where the players are able to modify them. This method might cause some glitches, however., Itsuch mightas resetresetting the Sim's age. Also, do not be tempted to make any drastic changes such as the Sim's supernatural type, theas Sim'stheir state will not be properly changed.
 
==The Sims 4==
Names can be freely changed without using any cheats by editing a Sim in [[Create a Sim]]. CAS can be accessed via [[dresser]]s, [[mirror]]s, [[closet]]s{{vgversion|GT}}, [[styling station]]s{{vgversion|GF}} or [[testing cheats]] (shift-click on a Sim and select "Modify in CAS") in [[live mode]]; or household management in [[Manage Worlds]].

# After that, enter the cheat 'cas.fulleditmode'.
# Shift + click the Sim and select 'Edit in CAS'.
# In CAS the Sim's name can now be edited, along with anything else including traits, walk style etc. Select OK to save the renamed Sim.
