Following today’s release of The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Nobility trailer, The Sims official Discord channel hosted a Q&A session with producers on the pack.
Here’s some of the information that has been shared during the “Dev Drop In”.
Hi Duchess! Kissing too many Noble Frogs can cause a Scandal for your Sim! That Scandal can lead to trouble for your Noble Career, or Dynasty Prestige. Other Sims could also extort your Sim to abdicate if they know your Secret.
Hi Prince! You will be able to create customs titles using the Kingdom Manager on the World Map. You cannot create your own tiaras and crowns.
The dashing fellow with red hair and a mask is indeed Tybalt Capp!
Hello! Just to address some of your questions 🙂 As Sims climb the Noble Career they earn more and it’s quite a generous amount, but raising or lowering taxes effects a Noble’s favor and all Sim’s in the Kingdoms taxes! We do also support cross pack play with Get Famous, as you progress through the career Sims will earn Fame!
Unless your Sim is inheriting their title from a family member, your Sims will have to quit their job to join the Noble Career.
Hi Kiko! Kingdoms = Worlds. You can have 1 Kingdom in any residential world.
Sims can stay in the Noble Career as long as they like, however they can promise their inheritance to a child or spouse who can join the career at the same level as when your Sim abdicates or leaves!
Each Kingdom can only have 1 King/Queen/Monarch. So that means there’s a limit where only 1 Sim can be Level 10 of the Noble Career in each Kingdom.
As only one Sim can rule at a time, any other level 9 Noble Career Sim will become a Noble Rival (which can be resolved either peacefully or not…)
Hi Meri! Yes, in the BG update when you start a new Save, Johnny Zest will be included in the Landgraab family tree.
Although we don’t have another trait you can inherit, you can earn Regal Romancer in the career which unlocks seduce into abdication!
There’s tons of Lore to discover in Royalty & Legacy! Our Premade Families have rich stories and relationships and even some secrets!
Unfortunately not! We have one ruler per Kingdom (World) and they can’t rule other Kingdoms at the same.
Favor tracks whether your Noble Sims are aligned with other Royals or Commoners. The game doesn’t make a judgement call on which is better. Both options have benefits and cons to your gameplay.
If a Monarch moves out of the world we will demote them by one level so we don’t end up with two monarchs in the same world!
Howdy! In Royalty & Legacy we are introducing a new Swordsmanship skill to the game.
Family do inherit titles but only children and spouses, so in this example the father wouldn’t receive a title, if I understand you correctly 🙂
Cross Pack Functionality: Any residential World can be Kingdom so you have a Fairy or Vampire Queen if you want. Also the Dynasty system takes into account skills, careers, and activities from all of the packs. Also as you rise through the Noble Career your Fame will grow.
Yes, your Sims progress through the Noble Career is completely up to you. The Noble Career is different from other Careers in that once your Sim is ready and eligible for a Promotion it doesn’t happen automatically. Your Sim will have to accept the promotion through the Throne object in order to progress.
The Noble Career doesn’t replace Fame or reputation, rather it works with those systems. The higher you progress in the Noble Career the more famous your Sim will become.
It’s part of the Secret Passageway, there’s an option to tamper with the cuckoo clock which could cause deadly consequences for another Sim who interacts with it afterwards!
The Noble Career is for Sims aged Teen and up.
Yes! Although you could always knight any Lasagna Sims you deem worthy and would like to become a Noble 😄
Howdy! Things like Noble Decrees only happen in worlds where Noble Sims live. The Noble Sims themselves have to choose and push those decrees (your choice as a player).
Decrees will indeed affect your whole Kingdom (World) and will stay active even if you switch households in the world!
Q: Also, how does the noble career work if your sim goes to uni?
A:Â You will still receive Noble Duties you will need to complete as well as the coursework, so they’ll be kept busy!Q: How many nobles can I have in my game:
A:Â As many as you want, but only one monarch per KingdomThere are all kinds of ways that your Sim can convince or force a ruling Sim to abdicate. You can pressure them, seduce them, extort them, etc.
This Q&A is about the new Nobility Career, we have lots more information about things like CAS soon 😄
Yes, the children of Nobles can have a job and a title. However, if they join the Noble career they will have to quit their other job. In order to inherit a parents title (example a Queen promising her daughter to inherit the title of Queen) your Sims will have to join the Noble career.
We have some reward traits for the career, Regal Romancer, Former Noble Hustler and Blue Blood! There are others from the pack too but I’m sure they will be discussed in future Q&As 🙂
Noble Rivals can appear randomly as Sims progress through the career unless they reach level 9 and the current level 10 will always be their rival
Correct, One Monarch per world. You can have the King of Sulani in your Save as well as the Queen of Windenburg.
You can completely customize Royal Titles on a per World level.
The Goths and Landgraabs will have their own Dynasties in new Save files.
Anyone can attend balls! Although a Noble dancing with a Commoner might cause a scandal…
Favor is tied to the Noble Career and is only tracked for Noble Sims.
Toddlers and Kids still inherit titles from their parents (even if they aren’t old enough to join the Noble Career)
Whilst all Worlds (apart from vacation worlds) have a Kingdom Manager as long as there are no Nobles in the world you don’t have to play with Nobility features
All Noble Sims are able to choose a Noble Advisor. Your Noble Advisor will show up along with other Royals and Commoner when your Sims Hold Court.
Nobles can Hold Court and Press Conferences!
