Regency Romance Update (v2.51)
Updated 2/10/26 to fix a loading issue affecting all saves with Sims folders in other languages (Les Sims 4, etc.).
First, I would like to thank you all for your unending patience with me. This update has been a criminally long time in the making, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you sticking with me through this absolute rollercoaster/trainwreck of a year. <3
The core new content of this update is a 5-level Social Dancing Skill, which unlocks several new group dances for your sims to enjoy.
Sims can dance in groups of up to 16 sims at a time, in various formations. Find and place the Regency Dance Floor object in Buy Mode to unlock group dancing. When you click on a dance, it will tell you what groups work best.
Unfortunately, this does require Get Together in order to function properly -- but the pre-existing dances from before this update are still Base-Game Compatible and you can safely remove this module if you do not want it in your game. As another note - I've done as much as possible to limit autonomy for sims who are dancing -- but like the in game group dances, it's possible for sims to get pulled away to other activities, and this feature works best with autonomy off.
There is also a new Play Social Dance Music interaction available on the piano, and a Social Dancing station on the radio. (The music is not timed with the dances themselves because I expected players may have multiple dances happening at once, and there would be absolute cacophony.)
I've also added some new quality of life features in this update. First, the save data folder has now been moved to your EA saves folder, so you no longer need to transfer that (or your config file - that has moved too!) with every update!
On the mailbox, there is a menu called Regency Romance Settings under the Regency Pie menu. There, you can now choose which scandals you want to enable, enable or disable features such as Legitimacy and Social Class Dynamics, add as many sims to the ton as you want from a simpicker.
OR, under autonomy, you can also choose to auto-add all wealthy sims to the ton, and any young adults not in your active household who are children of members of society will auto join society as well. These are disabled by default because I know this is a change to how the systems worked in the past!
With that in mind, I have significantly lowered the default thresholds for social classes (middle class is above 45,000 simoleons on hand, and upper class is 70,000 simoleons on hand) to match the sims in the game. You can edit these in the config file, which now goes into your saves/Regency Romance folder.
For bugfixes, I've done an exhaustive overhaul looking at the estate inheritance system and last exceptions relating to Lady Whistledown, and those features should be much more stable now. The governess should also come every day after being hired sometime in the morning, leaving around 6pm. The gold level of the Coming Out Ball is now achievable (and balls have been updated to account for the new social dancing feature). Lots of small other things, I've lost track! But if you notice anything weird post-update, please ping me on discord and I'll look into it ASAP.
Finally, just to reiterate: Your savedata and config file have now moved to your saves folder, in a subfolder called Regency Romance. This folder and the config file within will be auto-generated by the game; you do not need to manually create them, and it is still safe to edit the config file manually if you prefer. If you have multiple households with estates, for this update, make sure you play with them all once to make sure your inheritance savedata is current.

can someone let me know how well this mod works alongside the royalty n legacy pack? i want to add it to my playthrough of that ep but im unsure of how well they will go together
Hi there! Currently playing game with no issues (I have both pack and the mod)
just wanted to let you know that the gentry club lot prevents npc employees from showing up. i have lms auto employees and kuttoe npcs everywhere installed, and both active on a cafe lot that was assigned the gentry club lot trait and no npc employees would show up while my sims were on a date there until i removed the gentry club lot trait. you should probably tweak it so it still allows working class/poor sims to spawn so long as they're employees and not customers
Same with the rich trait
I really wish the mod scandals worked like Royalty and Legacy scandals): Do you plan on making a R&L version?
Hi! I have a big problem, im stuck with the governess and there is no way to dismiss or fire her. I had to delete the governess service file. Could you do a fix for this please, like a dismiss and fire menu (sorry if there is already one but i didnt find it) Thanks!
Hey I love this mod but if I remember correctly social classes used to be determined either by household cash, or lot value, or both, and you could choose which one you wanted. Unfortunately I can't see this option any more and my working class sims always get the "rich" trait even if their cash matches the working class trait because their lot value is too high (and I don't want to change the house). Even if I try to cheat the correct trait, it always reverts to "rich"... Could you please add these options back?
My social dancing skill isnt coming up for me, and the social dancing aspect itself is glitching. Since the Sims 4 couldnt "read" the skill, my game crashed. Has anyone else experienced this? I am a heavy modder and have Lazyneiph's royalty mod so it might just be me.
太厉害了！！我会在我的视频中使用这个舞蹈并且写下你的名字的！
Hey so I've been having this issue where it won't let me place items down in build/buy I also was wondering if this is in conflict with Lazyneiphs royalty mod?
Of course i install it today and updates today... just my luck
I guess after today s update we have to waint a few days, and then a few more days for the translation update, right?
Heads up, my game refuses to launch when I have this downloaded now. I can provide crash reports if needed, I think? I get the "Game Failed to Launch" error.
After the newest update you made recently my game crashes with the mod . I had no crash with version 2.54 today, but version 2.55 makes my game crash while entering a household. After taking it out my game stopped crashing. Thank you so much for the amazing mod and your hard work. tho!!
Hey, thank you so much for the bug report. Could you check and see if you have any last exception files in your game folder? Crashes are serious and I want to look into this
Thank you for your worki! Lady Whistledown hasn't been working since the update.
Helloo, thanks for the fixed version but i still having the same problem, when i press read Lady Whistledown it says nothing, she doesnt appear at all please help
Hey, thank you so much for your work! Is this mod compatible with the royalty mod?
Hi! I download the fixed version and I continue to have this error message : The listed script mod failed to load and should be removed or updated. Failure: 'simsten_regencyromance/function_injections' (simsten_regencyromance.function_injections) expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType (TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType) I have put the mod in the mod folder. It's the script: RegencyRomance_CORE_Script_DoNotDelete.ts4script
Hi! Thank you so much for your hard work, this mod has changed my sims experience completely! But since this last update, I haven't been getting Lady Whistledown at all, and whenever my sims check for attractiveness, it's as if they are merely reading the Whistledown Pages. Do you have any idea what the issue might be?
hi! after the last update, social dancing music on piano or radio are no longer available. When selected on radio station there is silence or stays on the current station, they do not go to the piano at all.
Thank you for the report! Let me look into this.
Tengo una pregunta el mood de el ballet funciona o esta roto?
Hey :) so I have a question. Yesterday I did installed the mod for the first time and somehow I have some minor problems while playing. Somehow I couldn`t get a title with the mailbox or the computer for the patriot of my household. Then I couldn`t send my children to Finishing School before their debut. And first and formost, it`t not automaticlly decide my Estate. I did searced the mod folder, why it`s now working properly and with your guide I`ve saw, that there was no estate_savedata folder. Where do i find this folder and how can I fix the other problems? Thank youu :3
Hi Jane! Love your mods! Thank you for all of your creative hard work. Do you have any plans to make your dancing activities and skills a separate mod? I don't have any plans to do a regency-type save file for awhile and your dancing script would be AMAZING in my save files. Sorry if this has been asked and answered already. Thank you.
I cannot find the script
omg tysm for fixing it!
Bonjour le fichier CFG je dois le mettre Ou svp merci pour votre aide, vous faites un travail superbe merci pour tout :)
Bonjour, je l'ai mis dans le même dossier que le mod sans aucun problème.
Unfortunately, I'm having a lot of trouble with the mod. Translating it is a nightmare because you use the pronoun {0.SimPronounxxxx} everywhere, which is completely useless for people who play in German, like me. I was really looking forward to using the mod, but as it is, it's unusable for me. I can't sit down and rewrite every single one of the over 2000 lines. That would take me years. It would be great if you could create a string file without the SimPronounxxxx.
"Your savedata and config file have now moved to your saves folder, in a subfolder called Regency Romance. This folder and the config file within will be auto-generated by the game; you do not need to manually create them," where does one put the config and (unzipped) romance file - in the Mod folder as usual? Thank you for all your mods - I use all your musical instrument ones!
says its outdated after the update today:(
hands down my favorite and most used mod <3 <3
You have comeback - I'm glad to hear that!It will be great idear of cooworking llazyneiph( is I'm not mistaken) and this mod) in future addon
yay she's alive, also how do u feel about the new sims royalty and legacy pack bc it seems to be a hibrid of your mod and the royalty mod from llazyneiph
this parttt!!!
yaaaaay! i'm so happy, you are so talented jane!!
hi, im so glad you're back! did this update fix the parasol lastexception issue i mentioned in the chat? also i have a suggestion; could you make an interaction like the 'Hold Bouquet' one on the suitor's flowers but for the fans instead? that way they could be used for poses without having to enter CAS to equip an accessory fan, you could just select one from the sim's inventory and click 'Hold Fan' or something like that? i think that would be a pretty useful feature
WE LOVE YOU
WELCOME BACK! You have been missed and thank you for all your hard work
This is awesome!! No, we thank YOU for all the time and hard work that you do! You help make our Sims come to life!
Just happy to see you're okay! Happy New Year!
This update is compatible with which version of game? 1.118 / 1.119 / 1.120
omg, I can't wait!!
Thank you so much!! Question: Where do I put the .cfg file? in my mods folder?
So if you want to make edits to the config file before your game generates one, you can download and put it in your Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Regency Romance. But if you don't want to customize before your first playthrough, the game will auto-generate one.
So happy to see you back! <3
This is everything 😍 Just in time for the new expansion pack!! Thank you soooo much!!
Awww <3 Thank you so much for your work! <3 I love your Mod! Do you think that the upcoming expansion pack or update on January 3rd, 2026 will break your Regency Mod?
