nobles & knights progress updates

Hey guys!

I've been working non-stop for the past 2 weeks on a certain area of this update that I will get into a bit later in this past; spoiler, it's bad news so lets go over the good news first!

• Ladies-in-Waiting have been completed

• Knights have been completed

• Sword-fighting skill and interactions feature has been completed 

• Debutant Ball event has been completed 

• Squires are almost completed 

• Have made the base code for nobility rabbit holes for them to gain reputation (and give them more things to do), all works great so now just have to make a wider variety of rabbit holes. 

Probably doesn't sound a lot in this small list but I just counted and this update has more than 30+ new package files!
I didn't realize it was that big haha!

So for the bad news, I know many people have been asking for a long time for a way to hire specific non-resident sims as servants/other roles.
I've spent weeks trying to implement this in a way that wouldn't inevitably bug your game but I just haven't been able to find a way to do this successfully.
I've tried every single I could think of, asked others for their ideas and still could not find a way to have a specific sim, in a specific role be re-occurring without it affecting other royal households in the save.
I wish it was as simple as hiring a maid in game but unfortunately it isn't.
(Please don't tell me to look at other mods, I've looked at all mods that have a similar feature but the code they use doesn't apply.)

If I find any way to implement this before the update, I will make sure to post about it :)

I will update at the end of this weekend with a tentative possible release date, depending on how much work I manage to get done.
Please keep in mind that this upcoming week is my final week in this years university semester so I have to make sure I get my work done! 

I am really, really keen to get this out soon though!

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!

Seb :)
