What we know so far…
We’ll be updating this area with new official information shortly after The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy reveal.
The naming of The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack was later confirmed through a leak done by the Game Ratings Classification Page in South Korea. Revealing the translated “Royalty & Legacy” Expansion Pack title as the EP21 release.
An official website titled “letterfromthesims.com” emerged a couple of days ago. Confirming the three kingdom types and sharing new bits of lore, along with an official date for The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy reveal.
MOST ESTEEMED
In The Sims, the most meaningful things are often the ones you don’t plan.
They unfold in small moments… A story that takes an unexpected turn, a choice that lingers longer than you thought, a world that slowly becomes something more than you imagined. Through the lives you create and the worlds you shape, you’ve helped make this space playful, personal, and full of possibility.
From the far corners of the land, your influence can be felt. Not as a single act but as part of a story that keeps growing through curiosity, care, and just the right amount of chaos.
As new chapters wait just beyond view, they do so with the same spirit at heart: stories to tell, worlds to explore, and traditions that begin when you least expect them.
So take a moment. Enjoy what’s been built because there’s always more simmering just beneath the surface.
THE LEGACY CONTINUES,
The Sims Team
If you wish to pursue power, you must do so carefully. Plot your next move wisely..you never know who’s watching.
All will be revealed on January 15th, 8am PT.

Forge alliances, engage in rivalries, and shape your destiny as you rise from commoner to beloved ruler or navigate the complexities of royal succession. Adopt exclusive pets, go shopping for luxury items and favors for your close-knit circle of trusted (and not-so-trusted) friends.

I’m very excited for this one. Not becauses I care about royalty – I don’t, at all – but because I’m interested in seeing if there are subtle clues it might be the final pre-Sims X expansion. If it truly does have 3 new worlds I can’t help but feel like they’re going out on a “high note” before a potential reset.
the ‘worlds’ could just be neighborhoods. They just say worlds as each is themed after a different part of the world. Willow Creek is separated into six neighborhoods for example. I mean come on you’re really expecting three whole worlds from a single expansion? This is The Sims 4. But hey if they do deliver that, it’ll be 4 lots each then at best, they ain’t giving us anything huge with that many now come on.

I hope it’s going to be better than Gibby thing or Business & No Hobbies. It hurts me to see how they give us less and less, my favourite game of all time is so boring now 🙁
I think Business & Hobbies was just a bad name choice. In my country it’s called like ‘from hobby to business’ which is making more sense imo

I really hope they have better outfits styles for male sim outfits and not just female stuff all the time as well as royal pet accessories and hopefully it will be like a more proper fancy type of royalty instead of boringly whimsical and casual like the fairy pack was and also the ability to have like dilemmas or employ palace staff and have a lineage! Much love to the sims team for this announcement! <3
