S4 -- Aristocracy, Royalty & Mistress Career Pack

Future Plans:

automate the careers after sims marry into the royalty AND aristocracy ✅

enabling sims to give paramours & concubines monetary AND physical gifts

integration with my Monk vs Nun careers for nobles/royals to send their children into those services ✅


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was meant to enable historical/fantasy players' nobles & royals with income and was otherwise cosmetic. For more gameplay, I'd recommend either: downloading KiaraSims' royalty Career mod for royal sims; using llazyneiph's Royalty Mod for both Noble&Royal sims; or using all the same time and by your discretion, choosing what mod will supply your noble or royalty careers.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can't just be anyone to associate with everyone! Status and rank matter more than most else, and your titles reflect upon your bearing!

With 13 new careers and new relationships in this pack, you can officially become a noble, royal, or the lover of a noble or a royal! Adopted from three different societies of real history ("Europe", Heian Japan, Tang-dynasty China, and a mixing of different eras of the Ottoman empire's existence). Sims can now become the "paramour" of either a noble or a royal sim under 2 new interactions.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NEW RELATIONSHIPS


Those in Royal marriages cannot divorce and those in paramour-lover OR concubine-"keeper" relationships cannot break up.

Both paramours and concubines can now receive gifts from their keepers/lovers ("Household") through either "Give Special Gift to Paramour" or the interaction "Give Gift to Pleasing Concubine".



A) "Paramour" - "Lover" [EU Careers]

Those with those careers can ask sims to be their intimate companion, and that sim will automatically join either Paramour career according to what career that sim has. Royal sims (Of the Blood, NOT Consorts or those born Illegitimately) or Noble Sims.

Find under "Relationship" --> "Change Relationship (ignore the picture



B) "Former Paramour" - "Former Lover" (and more) [EU Careers]

If/when they decide to end those relationships, you must go to "Mean" for the "End Relationship" interaction. The "Former Paramour"/"Former Lover" relbits will be added and the sims will be "fired" from their paramour careers.



C) "Concubine" - "Keeper" [Japan, China, Ottoman Careers]

Unlike the paramour relationships, sims will not attain a "former" anything relationship if one manages to break up sims. You can't or shouldn't be able to, anyway. Once a concubine, always one (unless one rises up to become the Imperial Sovereign's Main Consort--feature not yet available).

You can get a sim to become your concubine by either asking them (one-on-one "Ask to Be Concubine" interaction under "Household", from higher-ranked sim to a lower-ranked one)

OR, if you are royal

starting a "Royal Selection of Concubines" event and using a self interaction "Select Concubines" during said event. Said new concubines will join the career according to their respective "Keeper"s.


D) "Spouse's Concubine" - Keeper's Spouse" [Japan, China, Ottoman Careers]

Through the Interaction "Introduce Self to Keeper's Spouse..." under the PieMenuCategory "Household", Aristocratic and Royal Sims will be "introduced" to the legally married partner of their lover.

So you NEED to have set up the "Concubine" - "Keeper" relationships first!

UNLIKE paramours, concubines neither their "keepers" can end the relationship.

If you are royal, you can "promote" or "demote" your concubines through "Raise Concubine's Rank"/"Lower Concubine's Rank" under "Royal Ranking", under "Household".


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Very Important -> If you choose the Royalty Mod version of this mod, when you want to choose one of my "Aristocrat" careers, you need to ONLY have a "baron", "count", or a "marquis" trait. If you have a royal trait AND a noble trait at the same time, you won't be able to join an "Aristocrat" career! Whereas if you have both a royal trait AND a noble trait, you can still join a "Royalty" career. Still, if you want to add a concubine level from a "Royalty" career (under the Concubine branch), I suggest you add a crown royal trait, join said career/level, and then remove the crown royal trait if you want the concubine to stay a baron or whatever.





THE CAREERS


European Aristocracy [In Game: "Aristocrat (EU)"]
You are part of a family ruling over a part of the realm under the head of the Sovereign. Even before the rise of the Sovereign, your ancestors plotted their first lines in the ground. If they were smart, they also claimed mines and established personal trades to support their status through overwhelming wealth!

Levels

• "Gentry": You have not entered the royal court or made any sort of debut. Having a title but no recognition.
• “Courtier”: You said a temporary farewell to your royal patron and hopefully made a good impression. Now you must attend many parties and build special skills to catch the attention of other higher-ranked aristocrats.
• “Knight/Dame or Royal Attendant”: You still hold no lands under your own authority or name yet, so you need to start building connections with other nobles and even some wealthy merchants. To be a complete part of the nobility, you have to have both material land and build wealth based on your social credit--and that comes with showing off your genealogy! You are also subject to being drafted into Your Grace's Sovereign Forces, so you need to be as fit as you can! Or you went under serve a Sovereign or their family member, attendant to their every need...and having an intimacy that has you closer to personal plans.
• “Lord/Lady”: Now assigned a small section of serfdom owned by a connection, you must learn how to direct others and flout your authority over the peasants you are responsible for. Be careful not to have one of them act out, or it might be your head!

After choosing a branch, the sim will officially be “Baron/Baroness”, “Marquis/Marquess”, “Count/Countess”, “Duke/Duchess”, or an “Archduke, Archduchess”.


Branches

• “Overseer of a Barony”: You've made it! Still, you will always be lower than an Earl or a count, even if you are ranked higher than titleless gentry..
• “Overseer of a County”: Lower than an Marchioness, but higher than a Baron.
• “Overseer of a Margarviste”: Lower than an Duke, but higher than a Count or an Earl.
• “Overseer of Duchy”: Lower than an Archduchess, higher than a Marquess.
• “Of the Archduchy” (the Level after Duke/Duchess) You live with a status second only to the Sovereign! You can also possibly inherit their throne.

*[European] Aristocrat's Illegitimate Child -- PT Time
You are descended from a family ruling over a part of the realm under the head of the Sovereign...but illegitimately. A person of your parent's house either refused to legally acknowledge you as their legal child, or you were simply born born out of wedlock. Because your parent(s) is not a royal, there's really little chance for you to rise into a prestigious station or gain new titles such a duke's or marchioness', but at least your parent acknowledged you as their own and likely has set you up will liveable funds for a time! Right?

Base Level

If you are part of the askeri, you are part of a class that holds three main groups: military, court officials, and clergy, but also includes anyone granted a tax exemption in return for a service. Though your family may have served the Sovereign for generations, you were not born with a title or the tax exemption, and by the Sovereign's desire, you can lose your position or you can give it up for a non-governmental role. Thus, your income and sustenance depends on the Sovereign as well.

The members are known as ministers and secretaries and they are appointed by Imperial Sovereign. You will beesponsible for the day-to-day management of the government and response to sudden events, whereas the legislative and judicial branches work in a measured pace, in sessions according to lengthy procedures.

Base Level: "Lower Administrator"

• Branch #1: belen-tigui ("Master of Ceremonies") -- The leader of any and all assemblies.
• Branch #2: Djon-Tan-Nor-Woro ("carriers of quivers") -- The military wing of the Gbara, also can be called the Farari.

These administrators are thus a literary as well as a smithing bloc, as their department is in the creative & communicative actions of community.

Paramour -- PT Time

Level -- (The only level for this career)
"Noble Paramour"

You have not entered the royal court or made any sort of debut. Having a title but no recognition.

You have a relationship with a noble lover, even if they (or you) are married. However, it's likely not that much of a secret. Because your lover isn't royal, you're just not that significant outside of your lover's household, but life may be much better than what it was before.

You just have to keep them happy and avoid their (maybe) jealous spouses...




Royal Paramour -- PT Time

Levels

• " 'Little' Paramour": You are an unacknowledged, less important royal lover, even if the court may know you are involved with a royal. You're still not important enough to most powerful and ambitious sims to curry favor with, though your lover may grant some gifts to you in "secret".
• “Declared Paramour”: You have been presented (or brought back) to the royal court! Now you can semi-publicly advise your lover, broker favors for "clients", forge state & international alliances, and negotiate with foreign diplomats. You have no official title. However, many at court seek your favor to get closer to your lover. You should be selective in what you take into your inner circle--you never know who may even catch your lover's eye and replace you!
• “' Paramour-with-Title' ”: Nothing has changed, really aside from you receiving an official title that has nothing to do with your "formal" position as your lover's only lover. You, however, are so dependent on it that you likely sign your name with your lover (even over their spouse!) on official documents.
