Prom Royalty Chances

I don't own HSY years so can't test, but I read somewhere that there is a "Claim to be prom royalty" interaction (I believe in the prom social menu) that might raise your chances...

Seems like my sims tend to get prom royalty often and had low charistma probably 3 or 4 but I tended to 'claim to be prom royalty' at times to them. Maybe that did it?

If you're playing only one Sim, it might be difficult to get that Sim chosen, but your Sim can vote for their date. Over 5 proms, I've had one of my Sims get chosen for Prom King or Queen every time and Prom Jester twice.

Miracles do happen - I'm playing with a single sim household and each sim year is 4 weeks. This is the beginning of week 11 in my game and he finally won prom royalty. I didn't vote and did nothing extra as I figured it wouldn't actually happen but he finally won! Too bad it's a horrible thunderstorm outside and everyone stops to run like crazy every couple of minutes. May not get a gold for the prom but at least we got a crown!

That seems right @JustinB113 . So far, when one of my played sims votes for someone, that person wins either royalty or jester.

I don't play the teen high school proms because they are boring to me. :(
However, I so love the Crown & Jester Hats that came with the pack. ;)
Finally, I can have my Medieval Royal Court look better. :p B)

My Global Superstar has won three times. That's every time he's gone to a prom. Now, his younger brother also attends, generally without a date, but he also votes. I had Erik vote for his brother for Prom Jester. Joey wasn't too fond of the title, but hey, so far nobody in my game seems pleased by it. I've only had two random Sims in my game win. It's always Prom Jester, though.

The moral of this story is GET OUT THE VOTE.

I think it all comes down to the vote. I have Teen brothers who attend the Prom together. The elder one has a date, he's also a Global Superstar, Rock Star, but the younger one still trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. He's a bonifide Genius (has the Genius Trait) and clumsy, too. But, he's a very loyal brother and I sent him over to vote. The second Prom, I had Erik vote Joey as Prom Jester. They both ended up winning. I've never once had them not vote. Erik has won Prom Royalty three times.

ETA: I didn't fully get the Claim to be Prom Royalty, so I never used it. Seemed way too braggadocios for Erik's character.

Adeepindigo has a mod called Dynamic Teen Life that makes HSY 100% better.

So I guess that means if you have room in your household add a teen or two to your household temporarily to vote for your sim if you want royalty or jester…
