Didn't get a Noble Title After Marrying a Prince...Aren't We Supposed to?

Is he a prince? Out of the box there is no king or queen of Ondarion, though there are multiple nobles in rank 9 of the career poised for a fight for the throne.

The heir to a dynasty is not the same thing as the heir to a noble rank, and has no title.

After playing more after posting, I think the problem was because he had inherited his title from his father. Virgilio's relationship was already fixed with his father and his wife was already a part of the dynasty but it wasn't until her husband was knighted into the Noble Career that she got the title "Dame" while he was labeled as a "Prince" since his father was indeed King. So, it turns out this wasn't a bug. Still bummed that the wife got the title "Dame," but that's again probably because the "Prince" title is still linked to Virgilio's father. Virgilio has been promised to inherit the throne, so once he gets it, I assume that is when the wife's title will match her husband's because that title will belong to him and be inherited to her. Not the best design, but that's how titles seem to work in the pack.

I am so glad you found a work around to the problem! Yes, when Virgilio has his own title King as his career (level 10 in the Noble career) his spouse should automatically inherit the title Queen. 👑

Happy Simming!

I am also experiencing this issue. I cheated to make my sim King of Ondarion, and his daughter is marrying a woman. The whole family got assigned their titles perfectly, no cheats needed, so she was given the Princess title. I thought her wife would receive it too. After marriage the game even auto-prompted me to invite her to the dynasty and so I did. However, she didn't get any title to her name. Neither of them are in the noble career BTW. I wanted them to both be princesses :(

Having the same issue. Made a royal family in Windenburg. The King 's title transferred to his wife, and their children. The princess was already married when I added the pack, her husband did not get the title. He has title from his father. He joined the career himself, still no transfer. He keeps the father's title. That's crazy. He's married to a princess. His title should elevate. 

Then the Prince (other child of the king) married a commoner. No title for her either. At the wedding she was invited to join the dynasty and got the lowest title. That makes zero sense. 

I do play with mods (MCC, UI, CONTROL). I removed them all. I let the prince join the career he got the 6th rank title and that transferred to his wife. The one he inherited from his father and mother does not. It's infuriating.

Do I want to go poking in the xml, no. But I'll probably have to and I hate that. This is INTEGRAL to the functionality of the pack and it's broken? I feel it might be missing an allowable_heir_transfer or a trait - noble_by_blood, similar to the traits with spellcasters. If it's locked in the code to not transfer inherited titles to spouses, it should be corrected. Suppose I want to make a social climbing shrew who is marrying for title, it wold never happening. This is ruining gameplay. 

I've concluded that it isn't "broken" but designed extremely poorly to function in this way. Titles are so closely tied to the career that they don't function independently of it and only get inherited by one level. Basically, inheritors can't spread titles until they join the career themselves, at which point the title linked to their current career level can then be given to their spouse and children. The sim in the noble career then gets whichever title is higher for themself: the one that they themselves inherited or their new career level's.

If a title belongs to someone (Sim A) from their career, that title can be inherited to that person's spouse and children. But for those who inherit the title (Sims B), any spouses or children stemming from them (Sims C) cannot also inherit that same title. It isn't until Sim A officially steps down and passes on their career level to any Sim B that a Sim C can finally become an inheritor.

In your case, it sounds like the King's title was transferred to his wife and inherited by their children. The princess's title was therefore inherited and by EA's terrible judgement could not pass on the title of prince to her husband. The husband's title was linked to his father's higher title, which is why the career didn't change it. His title won't change (even though real life's rules say it should have!) until the princess becomes Queen and takes the throne officially, at which point he'll jump straight to being a King. UNLESS the princess joins the career herself and works her way up to earning the princess title in her own right. Otherwise, the only other way to obtain the title of "prince" would be if his father becomes a King in his own right 😭

It's a terrible design, and nothing like real life. In real life, regardless of how a princess is a princess, marrying one makes you a prince. At the very least, titles should spread beyond one level of relationships. Ideally, titles should be its own independent system so that they can be held without needing a noble career at all. Linking the two just causes problems in storytelling and inevitably forces nobles to abandon any other career path.  People will have to mod it to make it accurate if one doesn't exist already 😓
