i like this.

Hey, great idea!! This will come in handy

Nothing I can say that hasn't been said, but I wanted to add my cent-and-a-half.
A truely excellent mod! Certainly deserves a Feature! I've never really thought about it, since most of my married sims end up being members of the same family (eww- not like that!) and their names don't change. But this opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for me. Thank you very much!

Always,
Emma

A family name, surname, or last name is the part of a person's name that indicates to what family he or she belongs. Until the 12th century, most people throughout the world did not use or have a family name, and they were called by the single name they had (which was called a "first" or "given name" only after family names came into use).

I'm not an expert, but I always saw it as a beautiful thing where the bride gives her whole future to the man she loves. A man in the older times, was much more independant of their family back then, and woman always were close to their family until they find the one they love. I do love this hack though. It's helpful when you have a famous sim that wants to marry someone out a family they hate, or if a grown up from an orphanage wants to marry someone.. OR if you forget the active sim rule.

Thank you so much! I've been waiting for this for a long time.

I have only known you to take the last name of whoever is the main household owner. So if you live on the Johnson lot, you get the last name Johnson no matter who clicks the arch. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Beautiful mod! Thank you

Oh shi*, I've just always needed this, thank³ you³ !!

Thank yooou!! This is so cool! I can now hyphenate my sims name like I did mine!
To a question that I saw earlier..., my children have their daddy's last name, as they should; they came from a joined union, it was easier to keep my last name for business purposes. Besides, I like my last name, and amazingly, so does hubby!

Great! I've been trying to solve this problem for months since the bride's house is a big mansion compared to the groom's who's house is so small and I had to move him out to the bride's house. Great work!

i think that the child would take the mothers name

Very very much thanks
Im looking for that

Great! I hate when the wife loses her surname, that's proper of Anglosaxon cultures but not mine: in Spain, women retain their own surname and their children inherit it together with father's. This hack is really useful for me.

Thanks!

"Why did we need a hack for this?"

This is very useful when I try to satisfy the "marry a rich sim"-want. Anyone who tried to do this too and had one sim with a ridiculous last name will tell you we need it^^

This is fantastic! Thanks so much for this, it will definately be very useful when getting married. Congrats on the feature and keep up the great work! :D

Thanks! I was sick of having the girl call the boy to the arch and him taking her last name..it annoyed me. This will definately come in handy since I hardly ever have my sims move in together before they get married..so the one who owns the house always keeps their name..now I can change that..thanks!!

It's very different from most downloads you can find here! (I mean this in a good way)

Excellent..thanks..the names glitch bugs me A LOT!

Man, I wish I'd had this back when Sarah Price and Robert Landry had gotten married... Huge Thanks to you and J.M. Pescado...

Thanks a lot, this is helpful.

thank you for this hack This will be very usefull to let my females get married with townies :D

Good one Will be very useful

Wondered when something like this would come along. I hate always having the girls last name. Sometimes she wants to be a mrs whoever his name is ^.^

Love it ! i got it ages ago before it was featured ! Good job on gettin featured mate?

Thankee! I didn't quite get the importance of this hack at first, but now I see it's very useful.

One question (Nothing to do with anything at all, it just popped into my head) There's a StretchSkeleton cheat I'd been dying to try out for yonks, and eventually did. But to my horror, nothing happened. Same old boring height. I want tall people! I was just wondering if there was any other factor I was missing out on?

Thanks! Now I can keep things traditional by having Sims keep the male surname and not always having to do it on a male lot as a result!
