Sims that gain an extra trait can now be edited in Create-a-Sim.
Fixed in Patch 1.102.190/1.82
Please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,

I am having similar issues, though only with traits, not names.

This happened to me too. I'm on PC no mods or cc. It seemed to trigger for me after a sim in the household acquired one of the additional traits newly available through sim's lived experience only. When I opened up the family with the cheat code for full edit all the sims were renamed under the same name and weren't able to be properly edited.
I exited without saving and was able to change outfits for that family under my previous save using the change table only with no cheat code without the issue reoccurring. For the time being I'm not letting sims aquire an extra trait just in case it happens again.

@R4bid_Chi1d Did you gain an extra trait too before this happened ?
To be sure, these are not werewolf Sims ?

For the original household I was trying to change, yes-at some point I had earned an extra trait. Then when exiting and trying to edit a different family I had not played with since the EP release it began to happen for all sims. The original sim/family were not werewolves.

I have a similar issue on PC. I used full cas edit to change a sims trait and not only did it not save the change I wanted but it changed all my sims names, pronouns, traits etc. to be the same (including pets) and I can't change it back!

I tested this and I can duplicate after my Sim gained an exta trait.
EDIT: I can't duplicate it anymore. Wanted to take some screenshots for a blog posts and now CAS is fine with cheat, without, Plan Outfit, Modify in CAS and Change Sim .. Needs more testing.
Good Luck
