[RL] Customized titles revert for worlds with nobles

Sorry for the long title, it's a very specific issue.

I changed all of the titles of the Royals in Ondarion, using the crown icon on the Ondarion world screen. I then went and played a sim in a different neighbourhood (Sulani). Via my sim's Dynasty tab, I viewed the Capp family and saw that they still had the new titles I had given them (yay so far). I then entered my Sulani sim into the Royal career and gave them some different titles via their Royal Career tab. Still everything was fine for the Capps in Ondarion. I then saved and exited game. When I reloaded this save, my sim still had their titles but Ondarion had reverted back to the default titles that came with the game. (There is another thread in this forum with a similar issue but it has been marked as 'solved' but is not solved. I am starting this report as I have been able to successfully reproduce the steps that cause the issue.)

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 Royal 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 newly Royal 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 legacy saves and rotational players) is that, if you choose to have a different set of royal titles for each world (as the game looks to be designed to handle), every time you make a new sim royal, all titles of every other world will be reset.

  • EA_Solaire​ Perhaps I used the wrong word above? When I said Royals, yes, I meant Nobles. Sims in the Noble career with titles. My Sulani sim was Noble and also the pre-made sims that come with Ondarion are already Noble.

  • 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.
