Royalty Pack
I was thinking we need some more fancy dresses and suits and things, so why not a Royalty pack? Maybe even a Princess Cordelia pack?

A hereditary job.
Once you select your Monarch, their family automatically become 'royal'. Their children are princes and princesses. Once the children age up to teens, you may 'bestow a title' in addition to them being a prince or princess.
Bestow Title, an option when you hold court, you can bestow a title on family, friends, or even enemies.
Court can be held in the Throne Room.
Court is where common sims can request that certain issues be addressed within the monarchy.
It's also where visiting dignitaries will meet the monarch, giving you the option to invite them to dinner.
Dinner can be a normal family affair, or it can be a dinner of state
Royal sims have royal duties:
Attend court
Attend opening of new building
Attend charity high tea/dinner
Visit children's hospital
Visit farm/animal clinic
Attend Monarchs birthday celebration.
Attend royal celebrations (birthdays, weddings, funerals)
Being royal is a job.
Failure of a monarch to perform may cause the masses to demand that they abdicate. Other royals can also fall in and out of favour, but they must also try to stay in favour of the Monarch, or they may have their titles revoked! Too many scandals are not a good look for any royal family.
Basically, it's a pack with a single career, one that most that enter will never reach the top of, as there can only be one Monarch.
The pack would include a small world: the royal estate. With a main palace, two smaller palaces, made of apartments for the other branches of the royal family to live in, when they outgrow the main palace. A royal garden, for garden parties and a royal park, where you can walk the royal dogs (or ride royal ponies?)
The royal family would have a butler per household, and also live-in maids and nannies. The monarch would also have a secretary, a couple of footmen, and a cook. After breakfast, the secretary would bring the monarch the 'red box of doom', which would then lead to reading and signing papers. It's a part of the job. Get behind on the paper work, and your monarch would loose their free time under a mountain of papers.
But royal staff need days off, so sometimes, the monarch may end up cooking their own meals!
A GP such as this would need to include a few crowns and tiaras, some regalia of state, for official events. Some nice, neat outfits, such as are worn by modern royals, including formal military attire.

I think what could be interesting is a pack focusing on influence. In such a pack Sims could earn influence points by doing good deeds, like donating money, being nice to a number of Sims, calming down a certain number of angry Sims, comfort a certain number of sad Sims, etc. Influence will then be linked to status, and Sims with a high amount of influence will gain an almost royal or even saint like status. On the opposite side, Sims could loose influence points by doing mean or even mischievous actions, and Sims with a very negative influence will gain a notorious status.
Having a certain status would then unlock new interactions, that are only possible for Sims with that status. Other Sims will react to this status, by being humble and willing or even inspired in the presence of royal Sims and by being stressed out and evasive in the presence of notorious Sims.
