[ARCHIVED] Can't change appearance from Sims with too big surnames [ Edited ]

[Kokero]

Create a Sim has a bug at Landgraab family in the translated game (PT-BR), the family name translated is "Quero-Tudo-Que-É-Seu", which is too big for game's standard, so Create a Sim doesn't allow me, and other Brazilians, to save a clothe change for exemple.
I suppose Maxis could program the game not to check the last name length in CAS's "change appearance" action in a future update.
All Brazilians are dealing with this bug, so it's pretty recommended that Maxis take this matter seriously because nobody likes Malcolm's shirt (JK) XD
Here is a screeshot of the glitch:

The Spencer-Kim-Lewis family has dropped the Spencer from their name, and shall now be known as simply Kim-Lewis.

• The Kim-Lewis family is not clarifying why the ‘Spencer’ was dropped, and while rumors at the water cooler are circling regarding extra-marital woohoo, the more casual observations have focused on the theory that their name was just too long.
  • As for the water cooler, have you considered that perhaps the water cooler is an old reference that no longer makes sense to the younger generation? Maybe you really should hang out at the coffee house, or a bar… bars are timeless.

This should fix the issue.

Not really the fix I had hoped for but better than nothing I guess.

Marking this as fixed

Added to translation issues since it seems connected to that.

Thanks! Hope be fixed soon

My game also presents same bug

[LaisOrgana]

Same here. This is annoying when you want to change the appearence of the family and you can't :/

My game also presents same bug

[m_baldo]

Same problem here. Hope they fix.

Hope they fix this by programming as they were fixing a bug (which it is, nothing is translated wrong), because I don't want see Landgraab name in Quero-Tudo-Que-É-Seu family. This is not just a translated name, it has it's history in The Sims translated game, Its been like this since first Landgraab appearance, so please fix this but do not change anything in the translation.
Hope you understand my concern

Kind regards,

Erico (or Kokero)

PS. I just noticed, there is another family with the same issue, the one called Spencer-Kim-Lewis (Don't know if the name is the same in English, but we cannot change them appearance too because of the name length).
