[RL] Customized titles revert for worlds with nobles

[Please see my post below for a work around for this problem and post back here as to whether this does or does not work for you. Thank you ]

[RL] Customized titles revert for worlds with nobles | EA Forums - 13236134

After much testing to find the trigger for this, I have found this 100% reproducible in a new, un-modded game. (My original game was modded but I removed the whole folder, deleted the the localthumbcache and started a new, clean game.)

These are the steps to re-create the issue in my game:

Start a new game --> Move your new sim into any world EXCEPT Ondarion --> Via 'Manage Worlds', go to the Ondarion world screen and change kingdom titles (Just the Rank 9 ones as these are easy to check later by looking at the Capp dynasty) --> Return to your sim, buy a throne and enter the Noble career --> Go to your sim's career tab and from there, edit your kingdom's titles (Just the Rank 1 titles as this is your sim's rank) --> Save and then exit to main menu --> 'Resume' your save --> From your sim's dynasty tab, View Dynasties --> From there, view Capp dynasty profile and you will see that the Capp titles have now reverted to their original form.

This only occurs if you edit both THEIR and YOUR titles with a Noble sim and then save, exit and reload.

Game version: 1.121.372.1020

Platform: PC

Owned: I have all EPs except Enchanted by Nature, All Game Packs and all Stuff Packs.

Thank you :)

Note from EA_Solaire:

Please verify if you currently have nobles in your world or not before posting to ensure you're using the correct thread.

If you do NOT have nobles in your world, the custom titles will not save- please see the thread here for more information: Custom Titles reverting when no nobles are in the world | EA Forums - 13184714

  • Just to make clear why this is a significant issue... The problem that this causes (especially for long-term legacy saves and rotational players) is that, if you choose to have a different set of noble titles for each world (as the game looks to be designed to handle), every time you edit those titles for one world via a sim's career panel, all titles of every other world will be reset to default.

  • crinrict​ EA_Solaire​ Update: I have done further testing and have found that it is specifically Edit Kingdom Titles through the CAREER TAB of a noble that causes the titles of other worlds with nobles to re-set. Editing the titles of worlds with nobles ONLY via the crown icon on their world screens does not seem to cause this re-set problem. So, for now, I advise people not to edit titles via the career panel. Hopefully this sticks and is at least a work-around.

    Also, this problem is not only caused with newly created nobles. If you edit the Capp dynasty titles via their career panel, it will aslo revert titles of noble sims in other worlds.

    Thank you so much, I'm going to try this workaround. It's a really annoying and frustrating bug when you spend time customizing each kingdom's titles, and it all just reverts, its ridiculous. Then it is claimed that this issue only occurs if there are no nobles, yeah no. It constantly occurs even with a bunch of noble sims in a world.

    I have been editing through the crown icon only, and they do not save for me.

    Are there sims in the noble career currently living in the world where the titles didn't save?

    Yes there are. 

    It might be a mod problem though for me. I have not checked without them yet.

    No CC, No mods (obv) playing on Imac with M4, fully updated. 

    I have custom noble titles. Everytime I leave the lot with a sim and return, they are reset to game default but when I click the edit button, the changes I made are still typed in. Once I re-click the new custom title text, it changes the title back on the sims name.
