[R&L] Sorely needed feedback
Good day, I want to preface this post by saying that I was insanely hyped for this pack and I wanted a monarchy pack ever since I saw it as an option on a survey from a few years back. The pack has a lot of nice stuff such as good Female CAS, Waltzing, Swordsmanship, etc.. But it suffers from a bunch of issues, big and small, as well.
1. Get Famous integration is sorely lacking and is the biggest sticking point so far. I find it very unrealistic for a high ranking aristocrat and their family members to be turned away from exclusive celebrity areas and to act crazy when seeing a celebrity. A lot of aristocratic families aren't known by everyone but those in the right circles.
2. Noble Introductions are weird, even superior ranking individuals bow to inferior ranking ones when introductions occur. No autonomous bowing of lower ranking individuals to high ranking ones and there's no interaction to do so. I don't expect them to walk around and suddenly bow, this is The Sims, not The Crown. But I do expect for there to be an introductory option or when they petition the monarch/aristocrat while they are on the throne for them to bow when they start the interaction.
3. Granting noble titles is very limited and we aren’t allowed to choose what rank we grant, it promotes the sim by one level. We can’t revoke or knock down a level of a noble rank.
4. We cannot grant 'cosmetic' titles either. By cosmetic titles I mean a situation similar to what spouses and children of a monarch have but make it available for aristocrats. I don't want all aristocrats to be active nobles. Plenty of culturally relevant individuals in the real world are knighted at the very least, in Belgium they even get elevated to the nobility every year.
5. When granting a title to a sim, the coronation animation is used with the same crown monarchs wear. I would've liked to see the knighting animation used. I would've liked for there to be different crowns/coronets for each level of the noble career and for those to have been used in the elevation instead of everyone, the Kingdom Leader included, using the same crown.
6. I would like an option to disable certain types of scandals.. I don't believe that even for my hardline royalist sim that it should be a scandal if they were to dance with a commoner. The scandal type I resent most however is the fact that using fairy powers is scandalous, not sure if this applies to other occults but if it does, it's still bad in my opinion. I am aware there is an option to turn them all off but I don't want to turn them all off, only some.
I would like the cat crown to also be on a cushion as an object, just like the crown hereThe Cat Crown
7. Male CAS could use some sprucing up with a white tie suit with a sash and brooch. Cats get a better crown than male sims and I think their crown should've been the coronation crown and the one actually on the cushion object in BB.
8. Overmaxing the Kingdom Leader salary should be possible.
9. I would like to make royals from CAS but that's the smallest problem I have.
