Vampire Clanhead

[grumpykitteh]

I decided to play Elvira Slayer. I started a new game in Bridgeport chose to play her form the main menu. When her household loaded her name was changed to "Vampire Clanhead" and made no other reference to either the name Elvira or Slayer. Is this bug? I have noticed that some of the other random sims in nightclubs and lounges have weird names like "Sleazy Politician" or "Clubber Girl" is this part of the same issue or are they really named that? Anyone else had this issue?

Is your game in English? I've heard of some peoples' games translating oddly to include names like that.

Yep it's US English. I just saw a thread on the Sims 3 forum of Late Night issues. It looks like the names change may be changing to some character marker they used in development. I do have a skill mod that is a set of buyable books, but I removed that and still had naming issues. So I think it's a game bug and not a compatibility issue with a Mod. Some of the name changes are pretty funny though.

Have you tried going to the City Hall and just renaming her?

That is a simple fix for Elvira, I guess the rest of the Townies will still have ridiculous names though. Hopefully this is a bug that will be fixed at some point. Thank you for the suggestion, honestly it had not occurred to me.

Yeah I hope so too! There seems to be plenty of bugs in this new game.
I'm glad I could help.
