Marriage - No Name Change
Marriage - No Name Change
marriage_snapshot.jpg - width=600 height=450
Normally, when two Sims get married, the new couple takes the last name of the Sim who requested the marriage. This mod changes the behavior so that no name change occurs. That is, both Sims will keep their original name. No other change is made to the game.
As far as I know, Maxis never changed the routine which I changed with this mod, therefore my mod should be compatible with any or no EP.
This mod is fully compatible with InTeenimater.
I would like to mention two other similar mods which you might be interested in:
1) Marriage: Last Name Chooser by Marhis: A dialog pops upon marriage asking which Sim's last name to use, or to keep original names.
2) marriage-traditional.zip (More Awesome Than You) by J. M. Pescado: For opposite-sex couples, the female takes the name of the male. For same-sex couples, both keep their original name.
Credit goes to the authors of both of these mods, as I've learned from them how to write mine.
Incompatibility
Please note that my mod and the two mentioned above all use the same resource, and as such they are all incompatible with each other.
My mod might be incompatible with any other mod which affects engagement/marriage (Resource modified: BHAV Marriage - Get Engaged/Married)
Children
Children will always get the name of the Sim giving birth (which is most usually the mother) or the Sim calling for adoption. For adoption, just make the correct Sim make the call. For the prior, I am still looking at how to change that, but as of yet I was unable to locate where the birth occurs. I would be very happy if someone could help me on that. For now, I got used that children receive their name from their mother in my little Sim World.
