In vanilla you can only change the pawn's "nickname" (display name) and title, not the first and last names.

@Rex705, Can you change/randomize your pawn's last name in vanilla?

This is a base game feature from day one. Why do all of you need a mod for this? I don't get it.

I am getting the option to randomize the first and nickname, but not the last name.

Updated to 1.6.

I don't own any DLCs, so please let me know if there are any bugs.

1.6 please! :)

thank you i have been combing the workshop for like half an hour looking for this, you're the best

will there ever be the option to rename prisoners?

Could you add renaming to animals?

Thanks for making this.

rodshock no talking till your hearts of iron mod is done

You can do that in the vanilla game... what this mod adds?

I'm also her for the same reason as previous two

@Evil Hamburger that's literally exactly why I found this mod lol

Wonderful work; thank you.
I'm also here because of issues with naming babies born from eggs. Glad this mod is around to resolve that issue!

Thankyou. I kept forgetting to name the babies in time and I had like 3 pawns all called "Baby".

Very nice mod! I was using the Vanilla Races Expanded mod doing the Saurid mother scenario and when the eggs hatched I couldn't name them for some reason, so they were all stuck named "Baby". Glad to have the option to change it!

What's your name, man?

And I don't have the "automatic titles" mod.

Same problem as Pantercat64.

Okay after some testing I think I found the problem. It removes the ability to change a pawns title if its been automaticly chosen in any way. So yeah, the automatic titles mod is part of the problem, but I found out that even children with biotech won't let me change their title either.

Still no errors I can see.

I don't know, I mean step 1 is click the button to rename the pawn, and step 2 is the field to change their title is just gone no where to be seen but my ever failing memory.
I don't see errors when trying to rename them so I can't point to if its possible compatibility error.


Okay while typing this out, I realized it could be the automatic titles mod where pawns will give themselves their own title depending on what their stats. I'll have test it, but at this rate, I suggest don't bother trying to fix this bug. I'll just work with it for now, and if I figure out what mod could be doing it (if that's even the case, I could just be my system being stupid or me playing in window mode for all I know), I'll come back and let you know.

@Panthercat64
I tested this on the latest version of the game, and everything still worked well for me.
Could you please provide more information about what is not working for you? If possible, please provide a video or step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the bug that you have encountered.

I'm noticing that I can't change the titles for pawns anymore, its just gone.

Updated to 1.4!
I don't really have any time to play this game properly right now. Please feel free to report any bugs you find in the comments.

Take your time!

Sorry, I'm a bit busy with my life right now but I will try to update this as soon as possible.

1.4?

Any chance for an update on the status of this mod? Either be it dropped or working on an update?

I need this when my colonists married and the game glitched. I set it so that the wife always takes the husband's name, but it glitched, causing no name changes to occur. Thank you for making it!

@Black Jesus
Yes

Does this allow you to rename their middle nickname as well?

@Bwhite263 rename it like u rename animals, in the bio section, there something like a ruler with I-beam pointer, just click on that

Would be nice if you explained how exactly you rename pawns? Haven't used the mod yet but like.. c'mon.

i think i am in love with u.

been searching for this mod for months!

can you make it so we can also rename dead pawns?

Thank you, I just am not able to take my colonists seriously when they show up with last names like 'Booger'.

Damn, I need this for 1.2
Why did it take until now for someone to make this mod?

THANKS

slim shady

You have world editor for that @Kimbles

This is great!

This is a long shot, but would you consider making a mod that lets you rename factions from the faction screen?

Thank you.

omG I've been wanting an animal name randomizer for EONS thank you so much!!

Thanks!
