Royalty Mod is getting a facelift!
I've recently been sharing some progress shots over on Discord, and I thought I'd drop them here for everyone to look at too!
I've been learning python for TS4 for roughly two years now and am finally at a skill level where I am feeling much more confident.
That leads me to this coming update, a python based 'hub' for everything Royalty Mod in the game.
This is intended to clean up and put most of the important features into one easy to navigate space for you.
It is also intended to make the mod more approachable for new players.
It will allow you to both view & manage all worlds at any point in your gameplay, so you no longer need to switch between households to set up or edit your royal saves.
You can now name your kingdom. As you can see, I have renamed Willow Creek to Albion. The mod will recognize Willow Creek as Albion, even if you are playing as another Monarch in the same save. Names reset to default in new saves.
Tax has been included in this facelift and now works on a percentage that you can modify per world.
(Default percentage is 20% of a fixed base of 10,000, which equals §2,000/week. You can change the percentage to whatever you like for each world.)
Diplomacy has also been moved to the hub, and of course diplomacy is modifiable for every single world from it.
War has moved here too, you can view your army stats and command battles from here.
The War feature will also be getting a change so that the battles are no longer greek themed (as they were originally from the ancient greece add-on).
By default now, the Monarch trait will no longer be required to be added in CAS.
Upon entering a world that has not been established, you will be asked to pick your government type and ruler.
Monarchies by default are now limited to ONE Monarch per world. Many many players have asked for this over the years and I am very happy I have finally managed to implement it.
As I know some players play with multiple Monarchs per world, there is the option to allow multiple Monarchs in the cheat menu.
All cheats are now inside the hub.
I have also implemented something I've wanted to do for AGES, which is a keyword search tutorials feature.
If you're stuck on something or need help with a certain feature, simply type in a keyword relating to it, e.g. 'heir', 'servant', ect, and a tutorial will pop up if that keyword is included in it.
(I have spent a long time adding these keywords to try and cover every possible input, however if your keyword fails then you can still check out the list of tutorials in this section).
I am still in the process of filtering through features and deciding if I can make something easier and & it to the hub (can you believe royalty mod is 6 years old? Honestly sometimes I forget some of the smaller features in the mod!)
Oligarchy should also come in this update as it was supposed to be included in the governments update, but I won't promise that one just yet.
I am mainly done with the majority of this update, I just want to see if I can make servants (the bane of my modding life) better and easier as well.
Should be out as this month's update but please do not take that as gospel. I wax and wane with the ADHD wind, and the mg of caffeine in my bloodstream. I should be sponsored by oxyshred at this point.
On that note: vikings update is still coming.
have a lovely day!

Hi! Thank you so much for this mod - I'm loving it so far! I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong though, I have access to the Royal Ledger from whatever household I am playing (not just the Monarch) but the treasury amount is not the same. For example, if I play as the Monarch the treasury will show say $10,000 and then if i play as a peasant it will only show that peasant's contribution of $250. I've also noticed my realm setup changing when i quit the game and play again another day, like the monarch has been randomized and the laws have been disabled again.
May I make a suggestion Can you add more to the royal duties. I remember seeing many shows about royals and kingdoms one is called 'Vikings' and in the show people go to the king and queen to get help. An example was a husband who wanted his wife branded accusing her of cheating and asked the king for it after beating her up. But the king refused and punished the man for beating his wife with no evidences of her having an affair. I would be fun if we had to decide what happens between people. Like a pop up where it explains everything and we decide on things like 'asking questions', 'deyning people's request' and 'punishing people.
It seems the omegaverse mod needs an upgrade. That mod needs a face-lift even if a bit of an update. The clinc isn't working to test child sims if they are going to be omegas betas or alphas in the future age spans
When does the early access end? I am waiting for the free version on curseforge, and it says version 3.6.3, but it is still loading as 3.6.2
Hi there, I really love your mod. I’m from China and I want to subscribe to get access, but every attempt to make a payment keeps failing. I feel really frustrated about this. Also, I have a question about character custom‑titles. When I pick the custom title option, only “Custom Title 01” appears. Could you tell me how I can rename it to my own desired title in‑game? Thank you so much for your hard work!
just wondering: is it no longer possible to assign servant types other than "maid"? i remember there used to be other options like "cook" and "nanny" and i think gardener as well? but now when i click on a sim to mark them as a type of servant, the only available option is "mark as maid", nothing else. i tried cheating the other servant types with mccc's add trait feature, searching for "ln_rm" and the only servant related trait was "ln_rm:trait_hidden_servant_maid".
Hello, I don't have Discord and just wanted to ask if there's a way to fix royal-crowned sims from automatically becoming monarchs when nobody stepped down?
i really cant wait for this update !
Hi! I have a question about setting up a modern constitutional monarchy (like the UK or Spain). In this setup, does the King or Queen stay in the world with their royal status and titles while an elected Prime Minister / Head of Government handles politics? How do they coexist mechanically in the game with the new government system? Thank you so much!"
I check everyday
hey sorry i dont want to spam your comments im just so giddy and excited for the royalty mod, ive been a mega fan for 3-4 years now. will you be able to implement a way to add custom titles to sims. for example we already have 'HRH Prince/Princess' thanks to R&L but what i would like is to custom add 'of Wales' @sussex@ etc. or what would be even better if you would be able to add it so we can have custom multiple for example it would read as 'Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret, Duchess of Magnolia & Countess of Barclay' i would love to know your thoughts on this! still so amazed by the world renaming, every update this mod gets its surreal!
wow! somebody come grab my jaw off of the floor. like the renaming kindoms!? im so amazed. will we be able to have multiple worlds under one kingdom? for example my kingdom is called windencrest because it is made up of windenburg and newcrest, would i be able to show this? {its also made up of other worlds like copperbridge and san myshuno etc, basically my question is can i select multiple different world to be apart of one kingdom and another multiple for another kingdom? if so would the 'regions' under be able to have custom names?
This is absolutely incredible... I swear to you I will join the Patreon before downloading, just waiting for all other mods on my list to be updated before starting my yearly Sims 4 installation haha ❤️ Oh! Before I forget, I missed if Royalty Mod has any options for arranging marriages? If not, is a courtship system something you're considering for the future?
will we be able to add Vikings to this.
I'm going to start this with a completely fresh start over.
u are the best ! 💗
I might actually update the sims for this. I just am not looking forward to the marketplace forced on us 😭 but no really, this mod update has been what i was hoping for, for years!!
Surely there will be a mod that blocks all marketplace notifications :P
This is the coolest thing!
You are on a streak , Loving all you do.
You are so cool, I love this mod. Take your time and rest, diva
Can you do some courses to teach your way to code with python 😍 I can only C# but not having much time before to learning something new. It would be very interesting to see how you do this ✨
😍😍😍 I Love your mods. Thank you ☺️❤️
That looks incredible! I'd like to ask for a small feature if you will: tournament rabbit holes for historical saves. Something that works like the races in Horse Ranch, shells for medieval jousts, gladiator fights, and Ancient Greek Olympics. It's ok if you think that's too much work or if you're just not interested. Thanks for the amazing mods anyway ❤️
Omg so exciting! You're awesome!
There's been a serious bug that seems to be the Royalty mod that breaks the entire ability to cook anything for an entire save file. All the options for cooking are permanently greyed out regardless of ingredients without the simple living lot trait or any other mods that affect cooking. I've seen some reddit posts of people theorizing its the Royalty mod and having lost entire saves (which is what happened to my legacy save file) over it. I don't know 100% that it is confirmed to be the Royalty mod, but it'd be very nice to get some clarification.
Very exciting to hear about the tutorial help!
will this ever work directly with the royalty expansion pack? :(
LLAZY neiph ? I think not 🤌🏽 This is glorious
https://simfileshare.net/download/113828/ Can you fix this mod and add the Ilvermorny houses from Harry Potter?
It looks like https://konansock.tumblr.com has taken on Britt's mods, you should probably ask him :)
This sounds amazing!! Way better than what EA did for this type of play in Sims 4. Thank you for making this game enjoyable to play. :)
omg neiph you are amazing, I just wanted to say I admire asf the work you put in your mods we can clearly see how much effort you put into it THANK YOU
So excited for this!
So excited.
Oh this is so nice . Would you consider adding something that would let one monarch rule more than one world? Like an empire
Yes, I am actually working on that as we speak! :)
that's so exciting, though no rush of couse! thank you so much for your hard work!
