Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When a sim has pronouns set in English, I am unable to edit their names in CAS in the Dutch version of the game. With yesterdays update (5 september 2023) Morgyn Ember was given custom pronouns. In existing games I could edit his name, but in a new save I can't see or edit the name in CAS. The field is left blank. I have had the same problem already occur with the Michealsons from growing together. I also had the same issue happing with a few random sims from the gallery. To find the bug, try edit the name of the michealsons or morgyn ember (new save) in the dutch version of the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? The name field is blank, the actual text field is totally missing and can't be edited. In game the sims appear normal over their head and in their simology panel.
What do you expect to see? I want to be able to see and edit the names of sims in my game, regardless of sims pronouns in another language. I want to be able to edit the names of these sims, especially Morgyn Ember because I want my own version of the sages.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I added a screenshot from a save started before the recent update, where morgyn ember has 'traditional' pronouns. I am able to change them. In the second screenshot I started a new save, no mods ever used in that save. The name field is blank. I also added a screenshot of the michealsons where I have the same issue.

 

I first noticed the issue with growing together but I wasn't sure if pronouns were the cause. But yesterdays update confirmed that custom pronouns break a sims name in CAS in other languages.

NOTE: I am not blaming the creator, in fact I downloaded this sims because I likes him. I just want to given another example of a sims with affected by this bug.
