    Description of issue

    Hello, previously in FM you could rename any player by using an lnc file and providing the player's ID and the desired name in the following format:

    "CHANGE_PLAYER_NAME" Unique ID "First Name" "Common Name" "Second Name"

    When I tried to do this in my current save, I found that while real players are renamed as normal, newgens are unaffected by any attempts to rename them. My hunch is that this has something to do with the change in newgen IDs to include the prefix "r-", but I would appreciate if this issue could be looked into further to determine whether or not "r-" is the culprit and how this issue can be resolved. Please see the attached screenshots of my failed attempt at changing the newgens' common names.

    I found the solution, and it's quite simple. Just omit the 'r-' part of the ID number

    eg. Instead of:

    CHANGE_PLAYER_NAME" r-2002100115 "Peter" "Spider-Man" "Parker"

    Just put:

    CHANGE_PLAYER_NAME" 2002100115 "Peter" "Spider-Man" "Parker"
