[RL] Dynasties disappeared and nobles lost their status

I have been playing with the Royalty pack for a while without any major issues. However, all of my existing dynasties suddenly disappeared from the game.

The Sims themselves have not been deleted. They are still present in their original households, but they are no longer recognised as nobles and are no longer part of any dynasty.

When I open the Kingdom information panel, every kingdom now displays:

“There are no Noble Sims in this Kingdom.”

The Active Noble Decrees section is also empty. This affects kingdoms that previously had established dynasties and several Noble Sims. I did not intentionally remove, disband or edit these dynasties.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Load the affected save.
  2. Open the Kingdom information panel.
  3. Select a kingdom that previously had Noble Sims and established dynasties.
  4. Check the Noble Sims list.
  5. The panel states that there are no Noble Sims in the kingdom.
  6. Open Manage Households.
  7. The former Noble Sims are still present, but they have lost their noble status and dynasty membership.

Expected result

Existing dynasties should remain registered, and their members should retain their noble status.

Actual result

All dynasties have disappeared. The Sims remain in their households, but they are no longer nobles, and every kingdom reports zero Noble Sims.

Troubleshooting already attempted

  • Repaired the game through the EA app.
  • Uninstalled the Royalty pack.
  • Launched the game without the pack installed.
  • Reinstalled the Royalty pack.
  • Restarted the game and EA app.

None of these steps restored the dynasties or noble status.

System information

  • Platform: PC
  • Game version: 1.125.59.1030
  • Graphics API: DX11
  • Mods/CC: None
  • Former Noble Sims still in households: Yes
  • Former Noble Sims still recognised as nobles: No

I can provide the affected save file if needed.

    I just had the exact same thing happen last night; after loading my save, all my dynasties and noble roles were just gone. I then loaded an earlier save and discovered they were all still there, so I highly suspect the reason for this weird disappearance to be that I turned off automatic ageing for inactive households sometime in-between.

    Will double-check later and retrace my steps to see if that was really the crux or not, because I didn't even stop playing or add/remove any mods, so that's the only explanation I currently have.

    For the time being, I'd suggest maybe just re-instating an earlier save file to see if the roles are all still there.

  • Could you please provide the following information

    • Did you never have mods/cc or remove them ? Please pick a thread tag for that.
    • Do you have a backup from before they got removed and it happens again ?
    • If you do have a backup, are you getting any LastException files in your documents folder you could provide (copy/paste the content, you can't upload them)
