This clutter CC set for The Sims 4 is called Clutter Dump and it’s made by simkoos. As the title suggests, the collection is a smattering of completely different, unrelated objects intended to fill up your Sims’ home with personalized items tailored to their lifestyles and interests. There are a wide variety of items to clutter up a home; many of the objects are edits of items from the Everyday Clutter Kit among other DLC packs. There are also a few conversions from The Sims 3, such as the strollers.

Everything in the CC Clutter Dump collection is base game compatible. Most of the objects are purely decorative but the televisions and mini speaker are functional.

Here’s an in-game screenshot of how everything in the CC Clutter Dump set looks in our game:

All similar-looking items are actually separate pieces so you can mix and match with other objects. Our personal favourite items in the collection are the baby strollers and baby bottles. Even as deco, they can make a house with young children feel more lived-in. For those who use or make custom poses, the strollers will be great props for family poses.

The Sims 4 Money Cheats: Every Way to Get Rich Instantly!

Get rich instantly with these Sims 4 money cheats!

The great thing about The Sims is it allows us to live out our wildest fantasies… even if that wild fantasy is just being able to purchase a house and raise a family on a single income. Yeah. I went there. Sorry. But for those of us who want a little more fantasy and a little less realism, there are numerous ways to make a lot of money fast in The Sims 4. Not all of them involve cheats but we know cheats are what you’re here for, right? This article is all about The Sims 4 money cheats! How to use them, how to make the most of them, and how to buy that big mansion on the hill without working for it at all. We won’t judge!

How to Use Sims 4 Money Cheats

Making Money in Sims 4 Cheat

Before we get into all the cheats, you should first know how to use them! We’ll tell you everything you need to know about how to use The Sims 4 money cheats on any platform!

PC/Mac

For Windows and Mac users, bring up the cheat console by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C at the same time while the game is running. Then click on the text bar that pops up and type in your cheat. Double check that you have it spelled correctly. When you are sure you typed in the cheat correctly, hit ENTER to activate the cheat. Press CTRL+SHIFT+C again to remove the cheat console when you’re finished putting in all your cheats one at a time.

Some cheats will notify you that the cheat is now active. Others won’t. If you get no notification after putting in your cheat, check to see if the desired effect has happened in your game. If no change to your game has happened, you probably typed in your cheat incorrectly or are using the wrong cheat for what you want to do.

Console

On PlayStation and Xbox consoles, bring up the cheat bar by hitting all four back triggers at the same time on your controller. Move the curser to the cheat bar with the right analog stick and hit X (PS) or A (Xbox). When the on-screen keyboard appears, type out your cheat. Double check that you have it spelled correctly. When you are sure you typed in the cheat correctly, hit X (PS) or A (Xbox) to activate the cheat.

Be aware that using money cheats on consoles will permanently disable trophies and achievements on that save! Make sure you really want to do this before using any money cheats! You can also use the Save As function to save a copy of your save file so you can use cheats on one save and keep the other for trophy and achievement collecting.

Some cheats will notify you that the cheat is now active. Others won’t. If you get no notification after putting in your cheat, check to see if the desired effect has happened in your game. If no change to your game has happened, you probably typed in your cheat incorrectly or are using the wrong cheat for what you want to do.

Basic Sims 4 Money Cheats

Best Money Cheats

There are several different money cheats you can use to get rich quick in The Sims 4! Some are basic cheats that don’t require any other cheats to be active. Others require you to enable debug cheats to use them. We’ll start with the simple money cheats.

Please note that console players must confirm to activate debug cheats for all money cheats. PC/Mac players can use the following cheats without enabling debug cheats first.

  • kaching – adds $1,000 to your household funds
  • rosebud – adds $1,000 to your household funds (this cheat is more of a Sims 1 easter egg but it does actually work!)
  • motherlode – adds $50,000 to your household funds

Make sure you are in Live Mode when you use these cheats! They will only work while you have a household active.

Advanced Sims 4 Money Cheats

Get Rich Quick in Sims 4

The following money cheat is an advanced cheat. This means that it will only work with debug cheats activated. Use the following cheat to activate debug cheats

  • testingcheats true – activates the debug cheats, opening up more advanced cheat options for you.
  • testingcheats on – an alternate version of this cheat. If the above cheat does not work for you, try this variation, instead.

You should get a notification under the cheat bar telling you that testing cheats are now enabled. If you did not, try entering the cheat again and double check the spelling.

Money X

If you want to add a specific amount to your household funds, you can use the following Sims 4 money cheat to do so.

  • money X – replace X with the desired amount of simoleons you want your Sims to have. This will set your household funds to the exact amount you typed in. For example, if you want your Sims to have $57,674, type in money 57674

You can also reduce your household funds using this Sims 4 money cheat. If you want to set your funds to $0 for extreme rags to riches challenges, just type in money 0! Or type in any amount you wish your Sims to have that is lower than their current household funds.

Make sure you are in Live Mode when you use this cheat! It will only work while you have a household active.

Free Real Estate

Go ahead… buy that house with the golden toilet. It’s free!

The following cheat is not necessarily a money cheat; it won’t add or subtract simoleons to/from your household funds, but it can save you a lot of money when moving into a new home!

  • freerealestate on – this makes all homes cost $0, essentially allowing your Sims to move to a nicer home without spending a single simoleon!
  • freerealestate off – disables the freerealestate cheat if it’s currently active.

Make sure to use these cheat in Manage Worlds! They only work and stay active while you are in Manage Worlds.

The Sims 4 CAS Backgrounds: Give CAS a Makeover!

These custom CAS backgrounds will give CAS itself a makeover!

While the minimalist default CAS background of The Sims 4 is a nice neutral background that allows you to focus on the Sim, some players find it boring.

Set Your Cows and Llamas Free with Free Range by Lot51

Thanks to Lot51, The Sims 4 Cottage Living’s Cows and Llamas have been freed from their enclosures!

Cottage Living cover
From Lot51’s Website

One of the best parts about The Sims 4 Cottage Living was the ability to have a farm with cows and llamas. Unfortunately, many Simmers were disappointed that each cow or llama was attached to it’s little barn in addition to only one cow or llama could be bought per barn. All things considered, it was a good pack but we knew it could be better. Thanks to Lot51, the cows and llamas can roam free with his Sims 4 Free-Range Mod!

The Free-Range Mod allows Simmers to create their own farm with cows and llamas not attached to a small barn. Finally, the freedom to create barns and choose where the animals graze. On the positive side, the system is highly customizable and easy for Simmers to use.

Using Free-Range

Sims 4 Cottage Living Mod
From Lot51’s Website

Firstly, in buy mode, there are two areas for your animals to frequent around: the Livestock Shelter Marker and the Grazing Marker. These markers disappear when the game returns to Live Mode so they won’t interfere with any farm designs. Lastly, the Markers are located in the Outdoor Activities Category. To put it another way, if you have trouble finding them, searching for Marker will show them.

To adopt either a llama or cow, click on the ground near the Livestock Shelter Marker. In this menu, the Appaloosa Plains Ranch & Stables Market can be opened and purchased from. This Market is open daily from 6 am to 8 pm so make sure you pay attention to the time. With a variety of llamas and cows, Appaloosa Plains Ranch & Stables Market sells each animal depending on its age and also has an assortment of animal treats. The treat selection changes daily.

Taking Care of the Animals

Llamas and Cows require the same care as they do using on Cottage Living. The difference between Free-Range and Cottage Living care are the messes that the animals create. Each animal creates cow pies, trash piles, and mud puddles (Seasons required) daily and dirty animals will create an increased amount. Sims can clean up after their animals by clicking on the ground and choosing Clean Livestock Shelter. No constant clicking needed! Sims will cleanup all messes that they are able to find.

Eco Lifestyle

With Eco Lifestyle installed, Cows will become gassy. Like in real life, this extra amount of methane will affect the local eco footprint and push it towards the industrial footprint.

With Additional DLC for Sims 4 Free-Range Mod

Seasons

From Lot51’s Website

With seasons installed, there is a special surprise when it rains! Keep an eye on the Grazing Marker when it is raining or during a full moon to see wild mushrooms grow. Sims can harvest and use these mushrooms for ingredients. Sometimes, Sims will encounter a fairy ring growing.

Get to Work

“There have been stories of strange phenomena occuring near dairy farms in the Appaloosa Plains for decades, even theories of genetic testing to gain control of the Sim’s mind! Is it just a myth, or is the Ministry of Central Intelligence hiding something?”

Overall, this mod is the perfect touch for any farming save! It makes cows and llamas feel more like real animals and less like an animal bound to it’s enclosure. The additional parts such as the fairy ring and the “strange phenomenon” add depth to the mod. Without a doubt, if you haven’t already tried Free-Range, definitely consider downloading it!

How to Use the “Scoot Over” Interaction to Maximize Space in The Sims 4!

0

This simple interaction can help you make the most of a small living space in The Sims 4!

When designing a small bedroom for two Sims, it can be hard to figure out how to fit a double bed in the room without causing routing problems. Most Simmers might assume that the double bed needs at least half a tile of space on either side in order to be usable by two Sims. It’s not unreasonable to think that; after all, that’s how it’s worked in every Sims game before. But The Sims 4 has a little known trick up its sleeve. Did you know that Sims can “scoot over” in bed to make room for their partner in The Sims 4? If you didn’t, don’t feel bad! It’s a somewhat hidden interaction, but we’re going to show you how to make the most of this little secret to make the most of your Sims’ small living space!

Small Living Space Hacks
A very tiny bedroom for two Sims. We’ll show you how two Sims can use the bed like this.

Using the Scoot Over in Bed Interaction in The Sims 4

If you’re wondering why you’ve never seen a “Scoot Over” interaction on your Sims in bed, it’s because there isn’t one. It’s more of an autonomous thing but you can influence Sims to do it all the same.

Small Living Space Hacks
Tell the Sim to relax, nap, or sleep on the other side of the bed.

To have a Sim “scoot over” in bed, first have them relax in a double bed. The Sim must be relaxing above the covers; they cannot scoot over if they are asleep underneath the covers. When the Sim is relaxing, click on the empty side of the bed and tell them to relax, nap, or sleep. The Sim will choose to scoot over to the other side of the bed instead of getting out of bed and walking around to the other side!

Sims 4 Scoot Over in Bed
Watch as they scoot over to the other side!

How is this useful? It means that you can place a double bed up against a wall and still have the bed be usable by two Sims! It might seem like a small space saver but in a tiny home, every half-tile matters. That space you saved could allow you to fit a dresser or a mirror or something else your Sims need in their bedroom.

With the double bed against a wall, just make sure the first Sim who goes to sleep scoots over to the wall to sleep. Then their partner will be able to get into bed on the open side and sleep next to them. Pretty convenient, right?

Limitations of the Scoot Over Interaction

Of course, living in a small space comes with its own challenges. This little space saving manoeuvre is no different. There are some things you need to be aware of that aren’t possible with a doubled bed against the wall.

Sims 4 Scoot Over in Bed
Her partner can now sleep in the bed, too

The first is your Sims cannot WooHoo in a double bed if it’s up against a wall on one side. This requires both Sims to get in bed at the same time, so both sides of the bed need to remain open for WooHoo. If you have other spots in the home to WooHoo, this isn’t much of a problem. A shower, bush, or hot tub will satisfy that need depending on what DLC packs you own.

The second limitation is you need to make sure the Sim sleeping on the open side of the bed wakes up first. If they don’t, the Sim sleeping near the wall will be trapped in bed when they wake up. They can’t climb over their partner to get out of bed.

Pop Culture Meets The Sims: Pokémon (Part 1)

Gotta Catch ‘Em All – Sims 4 Style!

Welcome to a new miniseries where we will be taking hot and trending topics in popular culture and see what happens when they meet The Sims 4! Now, regardless of how old you are, it’s more than likely that you will have heard about Pokémon, be it anime, movies, trading cards, video games, or other Pokémon-themed merchandise. Pokémon is one of the hottest video games, with the recently released Pokemon Scarlet and Violet editions for Nintendo Switch. However, have you ever wondered what would happen if the world of Pokémon met The Sims 4? Well, let’s find out!

For this first of three parts in our introductory miniseries, we will take a look at rebuilding our trainers’ starting home in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as well as introduce you to some experienced and upcoming Pokémon Trainers!

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: The Location

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is based in the beautiful world of Paldea. However, your home as a trainer is located in the gorgeous area of Cabo Poco. As for The Sims 4, I tried to find a world and lot that was similar to that in the game.

This took some time as I knew suitable lots would be limited. I wanted to try my best to keep that “over the water” lookout and that had space to accommodate as much of the outdoor space as possible.

After trying a variety of lots in Oasis Springs, Sulani, and Tartosa to name a few, I settled on the Piccola Luce lot in Sulani. The 40×30 lot seemed to be the perfect choice for this recreation.

The Sims 4 Sulani

While it was a little bit more island-like compared to what we see in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as the shell started to take shape, I knew it was the right lot for the build.

I will admit, it was difficult to get the shell just right, even now it does seem a little on the larger side but that was down to the layout of the house and the placement of the staircase.

The Sims 4 House Build

With the bare shell laid out. It was time to move on to adding the windows, doors, and additional exterior details before tacking the interior.

The Exterior & Landscaping

This part of the build I really struggled with. Initially, nothing seemed to be working or coming together. I couldn’t find the right items to use that were similar to those in-game. Eventually, I started to make some progress. While some of the items used weren’t exactly the same as what we see in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I chose them based on how similar they were and how they worked for the overall build. This was specifically true when it came to the windows and window placement.

Another task that was a challenge for me was landscaping. I’ve never been someone who is good at landscaping however I always give it my best shot! Trying to replicate what was in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games was difficult. I tried to think outside the box as to what objects I could use. Those that fit with the game’s style, or at least similar. DEBUG mode provided me with a larger range of objects to choose from and eventually, I found what I was looking for.

the sims 4

With the exterior now complete, it was time to move on to the interior!

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: The Interior

This is where I knew I was going to be able to have some fun! With the Kitchen, Lounge, and your player’s Bedroom available to explore these would be straightforward to replicate. However, having your Parent’s room, a storage room, and a limited selection of camera angles some aspects of the build I knew would be more challenging. Without letting that put me off I set about furnishing each of the different areas.

I wanted to stay true to the game and not add too many additional objects to each space. For each room, I wanted to do my best in replicating everything as closely as I could.

Pokemon World

On the other hand, one thing that I thought of as I started to furnish the inside of the build was due to the minimal camera angles, some areas appeared to have nothing in them. My plan to tackle this was to follow the same theme as the room and fill that space with objects I felt would be in those spaces and were also following the same theme of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Kitchen & Lounge

Likewise, with most builds I work on, I started in the Kitchen. For me, this feels like the most natural place for me to start. Choosing the counters was relatively straightforward. Initially, the space felt empty but after adding a touch of paint and flooring it was starting to come together well.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Living Room

While the limited freedom of movement with the in-game camera in Pokémon Violet was slightly frustrating, I think I managed to capture and recreate both the kitchen and lounge spaces well. There are definitely a few things I was hoping I could recreate in game such as the ceiling beams but it just wasn’t possible.

Trainers Bedroom

The Trainers bedroom was not only the easiest but also the room I enjoyed furnishing the most. It was straightforward but the variety of objects we have in The Sims 4 really helped make a relatively accurate recreation.

Pokemon Bedroom

I’ll be honest, my younger self wishes that this was my bedroom if I was embarking on my own Pokémon adventure to become a Pokémon Master!

Master Bedroom

This room was one of two rooms that were not accessible by players so needed a little bit of imagination when creating it. I decided to keep it simple instead of trying to overcomplicate it and in the end, it turned out perfectly. A lovely quiet space perfect for grabbing a book to read or just having a peaceful night sleep!

the sims 4

While this was not a part of the Master Bedroom, I did really like how the small area between the stairs and the master bedroom turned out as well!

The Storage Room & Empty Spaces

Next up is the storage room. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you aren’t actually able to enter this room so I used my best judgment to create a space that would work. As this build was likely to be used in my own game, my first thought was to use this space as a bathroom and some additional storage It definitely worked as there would be nowhere else to really place a bathroom area.

The Sims 4 Storage Room - Pokemon Style

A second area that was a bit of an empty space was the small rounded tower space located behind the kitchen. Now, in the game, it is part of the kitchen however when recreating the house in The Sims 4 it just didn’t work. I ended up turning this into a small laundry room instead to help fill the space but it also doubled as another entrance/exit into the garden area.

Laundry Room in Sims 4

Earlier on in this article, I mentioned that due to the limited freedom of movement with the camera in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, there were some spaces that appeared to be empty. This is what I decided to do to make these spaces more functional instead!

In the kitchen, there was a small bit of space which I filled with another washing station for laundry.

Kitchen area in Sims 4

The empty space on either side of the entrance turned into two different spaces. One was a space for Sims to get ready with their shoes and coats and then on the other side I placed a bookshelf which would also work well for the lounge area.

The Final Result

Overall, both the interior and exterior of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came together better than I could have expected. What helped was the variety and versatility of many of the objects that I could use and choose from in The Sims 4 and the available packs. While there were many different versions of various areas of the build over time, the end result wasn’t too bad. Of course, there are things I would like to revisit and more than likely change when I start to use this build myself in the game but that is natural in any build but, as an overall reflection of it, I am pretty happy with how it all turned out!

Now, with the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Trainers home complete let me hand you over to another Sims Community Staff member!

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: A Trainer for Every Path

SnarkyWitch here! I’m so glad Krista allowed me to collab with her on Sims Community’s three-part Pokémon series because, like many others, I too have been totally sucked into the latest installment of the beloved Pokémon series. Pokémon is a certain special nostalgia our generation just can’t seem to kick and do we want to? Let’s be honest, not really.

Krista did such a beautiful job with the protagonist’s home from Pokémon Scarlet/Violet but you know what they say; a house isn’t a home without Pokémon trainers! I’m sure that’s the saying. Nailed it. Since Scarlet and Violet offer us three different story paths to pursue at our own pace, I thought it fitting to create three of the characters from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to enjoy this home. I know the protagonist and their mom is supposed to live here but in The Sims, there are no rules! So may I present three of my personal favourite Pokémon trainers; Nemona, Arven, and Meli!

It was important to me that these Sims have no custom content. I love custom content but Pokémon is for everyone and it wouldn’t be right to exclude our beloved console players from enjoying this Pokémon and The Sims crossover. It was definitely a challenge to create such unique, distinct characters without CC but a lot of fun! Let’s meet these trainers, shall we?

Please note there may be minor early-game spoilers ahead!

Nemona Trainer

It was basically a no-brainer to make Nemona first! She’s one of the first pals you meet on your Pokémon journey and is the one who mentors you as you take on the Pokémon gyms around Paldea.

The son of Professor Sada and Professor Turo, Arven’s on a hunt for the Herbica Mystica, legendary herbs said to be protected by mythical Titan Pokémon. And you’re just the scrappy new freshman to help him!

7 Maxis Match CC Sets to Elevate Your Sims 4 Game

This appeals to many players because their custom content doesn’t stick out and instead blends into the rest of their Sim’s home or wardrobe seamlessly.

This set is creepy and it’s kooky, mysterious and spooky! It’s all together ooky! This Sims 4 Goth CC.

This Sims 4 Goth CC is about to take a dark turn.

In brief, Charles Addams’ Addams Family cartoon was first published to The New Yorker in 1938. In fact, the family was without proper names until the 1964 TV Show “The Addams Family.” Throughout the years, there have been many different iterations with slightly different tones, characteristics, and storylines. To illustrate the Addams’ family’s influence, just read and watch all the numerous versions, including books, a Broadway Show, an animated series, a live action tv show, a pinball machine, video games, and even advertisements. Most recently, a Netflix original show features Wednesday Addams as its titular character and was released November 23, 2022.

What each iteration has in common is a dark, Goth aesthetic. As the result of the Netflix show’s popularity, it is nor surprising that a Custom Content (CC) creator has created a CC set to accompany the feel of the Netlix show. In a similar fashion, Sixam has created a Sims 4 goth CC set that would either work perfectly in an Addams Family build or even with similar families such as the Goth Family. To summarize, this set works well together and also combined with items from the Vampire Game Pack.

This pack by SixamCC will release on December 22, 2022!

Living Room

These three pieces are our favorite pieces in the set! Particularly, the red color is absolutely stunning against the dark wood colors and the shape is unique from anything else we have in the game. Above all, these Sims 4 Goth CC pieces perfectly match the vibe of the new Wednesday show.

Decorative

Another key point is that we love the Sims 4 goth CC decorative items included in this set! In fact, the large mirror is not only great for decoration, but also for all the normal mirror uses. Specifically, there are two different paintings with 14 swatches between the two of them, a decorative skull, a fireplace, and a round rug with swatches that will go with numerous different house decoration styles.

All things considered, the skull and fireplace will be my top two objects used from this pack.

Hallway

These living tables could have a myriad of different uses from using them in the hall way to behind a couch or on any open wall space. Subsequently, their two different heights gives them added flexibility.

Hallway Table: “Secret Love” Hall Table (10 Swatches)
Hallway Table (Short): “Secret Love” Hall Table (Short) (10 Swatches)

Lighting

Lastly, the lighting is one of the most important parts of decoration. Sixam provides us with two different types of Sims 4 goth CC lights in this pack. Subsequently, they include a wall lamp and a table lamp. With 9 swatches between the two lamps, these lamps should be able to fit into quite a few different decoration styles including a Goth house. In truth, these are the perfect versatile type of lamp that most Simmers need.

Wednesday's Room Lights

Wall Light: “Give me light” Fancy Lamp (4 Swatches)
Table Light: Victorian Heirloom Table Lamp (5 Swatches)

To conclude, this pack is a great pack for any Wednesday Addams’ fan, Addams Family fan, and/or Sims 4 goth cc fan. Our favorite items were the skull, the fireplace, and the the three living room seating options. We recommend downloading it and adding the items to your game!

The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit: A Royal Winterfest

An ailing king, a secret romance and a Winterfest Ball to remember!

Welcome to our thirteenth official Sims 4 Story Starter Kit! If you missed all the info on Story Starter Kits, you can read more about what they are and how they work in our introductory article!

This month, we’re bringing you into the world of royalty! A king’s failing health means his daughter’s coronation must happen soon, at the annual Winterfest Ball, but the princess has a big secret she’s hiding from everyone.

Story Starter Kit: A Royal Winterfest

The Dupontes have ruled over the small country of Windenburg since medieval times. Although Windenburg’s politics have long since moved to a democratic system, the monarchy still stands as a symbol of Windenburg’s esteemed history and the royal family still has a great deal of influence in the country. They work alongside the elected ruler to pass policies and launch new initiatives for the betterment of Windenburg’s people. It’s a duty the Dupontes take very seriously.

So when news spread around Windenburg that King Maximus’ health was deteriorating, everyone was buzzing about Princess Elleri, the King and Queen’s only child who just celebrated her 18th birthday. She’s expected to be the youngest Queen to inherit the throne since 1654 when Princess Elleri’s ancestor ascended to the throne at the age of thirteen. Princess Elleri has been adored by the public since her birth and her parents have spent her entire life preparing her for this very moment. All of their hopes and dreams hinge on her and how she rules as Queen.

Recently, King Maximus’ health has taken a turn for the worse. Windenburg law states that the birth-born monarch must crown the next monarch themselves shortly before their passing; without the approval of the current reigning monarch, the throne may be contested by other noble families with any relation to the Dupontes. Naturally, this urgency demands Princess Elleri be crowned as soon as possible and what better opportunity to crown Windenburg’s new queen than at the castle’s annual Winterfest Celebration Ball, in front of the whole country? The event will also be an opportunity for Queen Gloria to scout out a suitable husband for her newly crowned daughter; Princess Elleri must secure the Duponte bloodline for another generation as soon as possible, after all.

But there’s one problem with that. Princess Elleri is already engaged in secret to one of the castle’s servants, Ezra. It’s still illegal in Windenburg for the royal family to marry someone outside of the nobility but the Princess has been in love with Ezra since they were children when he boldly stole a kiss on the cheek from her in the courtyard. She couldn’t stop giggling the rest of the day back then and he hasn’t stopped making her giggle ever since. If she can just keep their relationship a secret until after her coronation on Winterfest, she’ll be able to change the law when she becomes Queen and marry the person she loves.

But can she keep it a secret long enough? Her mother’s been getting increasingly suspicious of how much time she spends with Ezra and with the coronation fast approaching, she’s been watching her daughter like a hawk to make sure she doesn’t do anything to disgrace the royal family at such an important time. She knows her parents will assume Ezra just wants to become King and gain access to the royal vault. They’ll have him imprisoned. Her father would never physically harm Ezra but Princess Elleri doesn’t want to think about how far her mother would go to ensure the royal family’s bloodline and reputation isn’t sullied by a servant boy… and it would be all too easy for her to do something drastic while the King’s too ill to intervene.
