Civil Unions in Sims 2

So rarely do I see a blog post about the detail of Text in The Sims 2, something I did contribute to and have some stories about...
-- that it is kind of sad that it is about the fact that we had to name the interaction for marriage for same-sex couples a "civil union" instead of just calling it "marriage," like the interaction for opposite-sex couples.
At least there is same-sex marriage in the game, as the blogger points out, in Sims 1 same-sex couples could only be "roommates."
I remember this renaming being very frustrating at the time -- it actually was "marriage" for everyone in the beginning but then we had to change it (making two sets of memories, Wants, and interaction trees).
