  Type "BoolProp Testingcheatsenabled true" into the box (without quotation marks) and press Enter.

  Select the lot where the Sim whose name you would like to change lives. Once the game is in play, click on the Sim while pressing shift. Make sure this is the active Sim by noting the box around his picture on the left.
