Your Royal Family with new pack?

I already have a kingdom with a royal family and history spanning more than two centuries. I got aristocracy in my game, including many Houses and some  nobility (those with titles like duke, baron etc). I'm looking forward to see if we can add titles to our sims, and I hope we can add whatever we like, not restricted to a pre made EA system. Well, I'll keep playing my old save, but I might need to adjust a few elements depending on how the pack is set up. I also hope I can get rid of some CC, but time will tell.

IIRC, the photo above was taken on the crown princess' 20th birthday - she is the one in a long white dress.

To anyone starting a new save, I recommand pereparing by playing their familytree for at least a couple generations. You can cheat their aging, so it won't neccessarily take forever, but the point is that you and your future monarch will then enjoy real paintings showing the former members of a royal family. The family tree itself is not as important in game, because I doubt future kingdom features will involve already dead sims. Bu you will of course make notes for later. By starting with a king & queen and then build the families of their children and again the 3rd generation, maybe making sure their crown prince/ss is ready to take over the throne as you get the new pack, you will have so much more to build your royal game on. Relatives might be given noble titles, and you will have a handfull spouses waiting for this top level of your community. If the pack comes with at least one royal family in one of the 3 kingdoms/hoods, you will be up for a flying start as your family can marry into the other nation's royal family :) And, if you don't want to play many households, you can simply limit the royal offspring...

Also, I think it's fun to have a flag design for my naition(s), it gives a hint to what colors should be included with official designs/decor. I hope we get a flag design feature with the game, but if not, you can always choose one of the existing designs just to pick your main color, and adjust details when we see what the pack offers.

Those old paintings should be made by a sim with top skills to make them more valuable. Photos would work for the latest generation, but paintings give more omph visually, especially if we now get new grand frames - if not, there's CC.

Phew... 😁
