Game guide talk:Changing names: Difference between revisions

From what I've experienced, some versions of SimPE appear to be more flexible than others. The SimPE that I used to use (which I still have on my granddad's computer) - 0.72.1.33855 - tends to let you change a Sim's first name safely. This is just from what I've experienced, but when I changed to - 0.73.44.35711 - and tried to change one of my Sim's first names, the neighbourhood that I was editing screwed up, forcing me to delete the neighbourhood and restore my backup copy of that neighbourhood - luckily I only lost a day's work. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 09:13, July 10, 2015 (UTC)

 

I usually rename Sims using the [[Tombstone of Life and Death]]. But since it isn't listed on the page I'm not sure it's a good method to change a Sims' first name. Should it be addad to the article or could it cause corruption? [[User:Gvaudoin|Gvaudoin]] ([[User talk:Gvaudoin|talk]]) 23:05, February 17, 2018 (UTC)

 

:The information to rename Sims using the TofL&D was in an early version of the game guide, but looks like I had [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Game_guide:Changing_names?diff=570131&oldid=554153 removed it] in 2014 for some (mistaken) beliefs (Guess it was a mistake to take [[J. M. Pescado|El Presidente]] too seriously). I don't see any evidence to suggest that this is unsafe though. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 01:12, February 18, 2018 (UTC)
