Sims 4 Royal and Legacy negative thread.

Those ladies must be very grateful for the sim inventory, otherwise hey would have no pocket in those dresses for their phones 😁

Same about the phones. I knew it was only a tiny chance, but I was hoping we could finally...FINALLY turn off the phones and keep them quiet. I will continue to beg for an official toggle and use my mod. 

I get the impression that most of the game will revolve around this knock-off Fame/werewolf pack loyalty system, rather than have stuff you can actively do as new gameplay. So it'll probably be one of those packs that ends up feeling really shallow when you play it, since most of it is tied up in the background. So another repeat of Lovestruck or High School Years. Being a royal feels more involved than the TOTO/CAD and High School systems, but considering The Sims 4's track record...

The Backroom Lot thing sounds a lot like the system we already had with Adventure Awaits.

It doesn't look like we can become a tyrant and terrorize people. I hope this isn't the case. What's the point of having royalty if you can't flex your power a little? 

The three neighborhoods look gorgeous. But idk how satisfying it'll be when they'll be 3-5 lots. 

Will the game prevent tourist sims wearing normal clothes from spawning in the world? I know this is more about modern royalty, but seeing Nancy Landgraab walking around would break the immersion.

Favors sound like the same old mini-quest system we've been getting since Cottage Living. It's two-way, so I'm curious how that can be used to differentiate it from the older systems. But considering how tedious favors and quests have been for packs outside of Life & Death (te amo), I'm not looking forward to it.

I love the Tea Time Solarium kit, but those items look really low-quality and blocky. Another repeat of the washroom kit?

Don't like that nobility is a career if it prevents my sims from having other careers. I'd like to make a king that's also an actor, or a prince who's a doctor. 

You can't really have one thing by day and another by night i don't  think in Adventure Awaits. Maybe your confusing it with  Business and Hobbies? 

Adventure Awaits advertised it as such

Imagine a beachfront lot that serves smoothies by day—yes, this pack has Blenders!—and transforms into a stand-up comedy juice bar by night. Need some more inspiration for your perfect getaway? Check out the builds made by Simmers below in You Make The Sims!

It's much in the same vein: a lot that changes what it does depending on the schedule. Unless Backrooms physically change the location's layout, like the Auditorium in HSY, I wouldn't be surprised if it's very similar to what you can already do with the Adventure Awaits system, just more streamlined and specific. 

I wonder if this would enhance the legacy game play by allowing actual heirs and sims caring about the rightful heir to the throne. They show a sim cheating on her husband, but what if I she was pregnant with the child of some commoner, is it a scandal, can drama build around the childs right to be an heir? Can I make one child want to inherit the title and make another not want the title, but they are the first choice to become heir?

I just don't believe that sim in the trailer was actually mad he wasn't chosen as heir. Does he have some simology trait that says wants to be heir and then when denied it the trait becomes denied, I honestly think he is just being told to make a fuss in the pie menu, but none of his coding as a sim has him feeling genuinely upset he lost the crown. 

Why is Princess Cordelia wearing a dark turquoise blue instead of her pink or lavander colors?  Also, why would she even marry a Royal Prince, she's not that kind of Princess?  And whatever became of her last love, Rodrigo the Pirate?

I fear that once again, a lot of the pack is just going to boil down to reskinned and repurposed features we already have in past packs. Even the main animations they advertised in the trailer seem taken from Batuu/Get Famous (sword fighting) and For Rent (blackmailing).

I kinda hoped there would have been a skill tree with three different paths and perks, with a good, neutral and bad path. 

I think she isn't the original Princess Cordelia. She's probably a descendant with the same name.

This is probably a younger version of her character than the one in the gallery.
