Electronic Arts boasts new benefits for The Sims Creator Program.
Electronic Arts and Maxis have released a brand new The Sims Blog post entry today, talking more about the new benefits coming to the already existing The Sims Creator Program. Which is just another way of naming The Sims subdivision within the EA Creator Network!
Within this blog announcement the team revealed some new benefits for the closed circle of players who are in The Sims Creator Program. Including new workshops and classes throughout the year for channel building and doing your own fundraisers through livestreaming. Sounds like a good way to forget about that EA buyout deal!

Our creators inspire us every day, and we know that creativity looks different for everyone. That’s why we aim to support your unique vision in a way that feels right to you. Your voice matters to us, and that individuality is what makes our community special.
We’re committed to fostering a welcoming space where creators feel respected, valued, supported and celebrated for who they are. As creators grow their online presence, we provide guidance and encouragement to help navigate the journey. We’re here to ensure everyone feels safe and empowered to show up as themselves.
Supporting diverse voices is not just something we care about; it’s a core value of The Sims and where we are headed in the future.
We hope you’ll join us. We can’t wait to build that future with you.
Request to join through the EA Creator Network and select The Sims as your primary franchise. If you don’t see a fitting description for yourself, don’t worry; choose whichever describes you best. We believe there’s a creator in everyone!
Do I need to only create Sims content?
No. We welcome creators who make Sims and Sims-related content, as well as those whose content is adjacent (cozy games, lifestyle, design, storytelling, humor). If you’re creatively aligned with The Sims, you can request to join.
I haven’t posted in a while — can I still request to join?
As long as you’ve created Sims or Sims-related content in the last 90 days, you can request to join. We encourage creators to engage at a pace that feels sustainable and authentic to them.
Does follower count matter?
Not as much as you think! Creativity, tone, involvement, and consistency matter more.
What is the difference between The Sims Creator Program and the EA Creator Network?
They work in tandem! The Sims Creator Program is built with Sims creators in mind. The EA Creator Network is home to creators across all EA games, but it’s also where we share perks and opportunities tied to The Sims Creator Program. Once approved as a Sims creator, you can expect to hear from us there.
I’m already a member of the EA Creator Network, but not of The Sims Creator Program. How can I request to join The Sims Creator Program?
If you are a member of the EA Creator Network and have The Sims listed as your primary franchise, you’re already in The Sims Creator Program! You can also adjust your primary franchise at any time. Please reach out to your local point of contact to find out what opportunities and perks you can access.
How often do you review spots for The Sims Creator Program?
We value every creator who requests to join The Sims Creator Program, and we carefully review each request. Reviews are ongoing at the team’s discretion. You can expect new creators joining every month or two.
Who is not eligible for The Sims Creator Program?
The Sims Creator Program is not open to anyone who has violated the terms of any previous EA creator program (e.g. EA Game Changers), the EA User Agreement, or the EA Creator Network Trust and Safety Guidelines, or who is employed by another game developer or publisher. Those removed from any previous EA creator program are also not eligible to rejoin or be reinstated.
I requested to join the The Sims Creator Program and meet all the requirements, does that mean I’ll get in?
Participation in the The Sims Creator Program is at EA’s discretion. Meeting eligibility criteria does not guarantee acceptance or continued participation. EA and The Sims team do not provide individual feedback on selection decisions.
I’m a parent, talent manager, or agency representative and I represent a creator that wants to be a part of this program. Can I be a part of the program on their behalf?
Unfortunately we don’t allow talent agencies, talent managers, or parents to apply or take part in this program on behalf of individual creators.
I’m not a traditional streamer or Youtuber but I run a Sims fansite/fan community. Can I apply to The Sims Creator Program?
Yes, creators who operate fansites or fan communities dedicated to The Sims are welcome to apply, and will be required to sign the same agreements as other EA Creator Network creators.
What opportunities are available?:
Early access, livestreams, content spotlights, UGC showcases, campaigns, Creator Grants, educational resources, and more!
Do I need to be an on-camera creator to be accepted?
No! Off-camera creators (builders, storytellers, custom content creators, community leaders, etc) are equally welcome.
Is the program global?
Yes — and we’re expanding to more regions over time.
What is the Support-A-Creator initiative?
Support-A-Creator is an optional program where Sims community members can support creators by purchasing eligible EA content. Participating creators can apply for a unique Creator Code. Players who use the code during eligible purchases on the EA App, EA.com, or in-game may earn the associated creator a commission under the program’s terms. To join, creators must review and accept a separate Support-A-Creator agreement, which is distinct from the EA Creator Network and The Sims Creator Program agreements. Participation is not automatic; eligibility, setup, and terms are shared with invited or applying creators.
Are Sims Creator Program members paid?
The Sims Creator Program members may participate in unpaid and paid opportunities. Receiving early access or creator benefits does not automatically mean content is paid or commissioned. When creators participate in paid, sponsored, or commissioned campaigns, this will always be clearly communicated in advance and requires appropriate paid disclosures based on region and platform.
Are there expectations around how creators talk about The Sims?
No. Creators are encouraged to share their honest feedback — positive or critical — as long as it complies with EA’s Trust & Safety Guidelines and is applicable platform rules. Participation in the program does not dictate opinions.
As a member of the The Sims Creator Program, do I have to participate in every opportunity that I’m invited to?
Not at all! Creators can choose to participate in as many or as few opportunities as they like.
Am I required to make content for every opportunity or hit a content quota to remain in the program?
No! While we always love seeing Sims content from you, creating content while you’re in the program is never mandatory unless you’re participating in a paid brand partnership, which are typically short-term sponsorships. We want you to create on your terms — there is never any content quota from us.
I requested to join but was not successful or my submission wasn’t reviewed. Can I reapply?
If you received an email inviting you to reapply, you can do so 90 days from when you received that email. If you don’t receive an email from us after 90 days, please log back into the EA Creator Network site to check your status and eligibility to resubmit a request again.
Do creators need to disclose when their content is part of The Sims Creator Program or EA Creator Network?
Members of The Sims Creator Program are expected to follow disclosure policies and applicable law for content that reflects their relationship with EA. Clear disclosures keep things transparent, honest, and healthy between creators and their communities. Creators are responsible for including clear and prominent disclosures in accordance with applicable laws, platform rules, and EA guidance.
Do creators’ actions outside of EA games affect their participation in The Sims Creator Program?
Yes. If you see a creator who is part of The Sims Creator Program behaving in a way that you believe may break our Trust & Safety Guidelines or The Sims brand values, whether directed toward other creators, community members, or EA, you can report them here.
Can I participate in third party paid sponsorships while being a member of The Sims Creator Program?
You may receive sponsorship or promotional opportunities from companies outside of EA. That’s generally permissable, and EA doesn’t object to you pursuing them. However, you aren’t permitted to use or feature EA brands, logos, or games (like The Sims) in those campaigns. The only exception is if a third-party paid sponsorships violates our EA Creator Network guidelines. If you’re unsure whether a sponsorship requires prior approval, we recommend reaching out to us before proceeding.
As a creator, can I use The Sims IP in third party paid sponsorships?
How can I, a representative of a third-party organization, collaborate with EA and/or The Sims and The Sims Creator Program participants? Who should I reach out to first?

Power Shifts in The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy: The Magical Moments That Can Crown You… Or Curse You!
The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack contains FIVE new ‘Power Shift’ moments, gameplay opportunities that can either launch your Sim to the peak of nobility… or completely ruin their lives! There are many ways for your Sims to take the crown, and Power Shifts are by far the quickest, but not always easiest, way. Let’s take a look at all the storybook moments to discover in the new world of Ondarion!
The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy: Power Shifts
The Crystal Slippers – On The Steps of the Palace
These exquisitely crafted, magical shoes bring elegance to every step. Slip them on and any Sim is instantly swept into dazzling finery. Those who dance the Grand Waltz in these shoes may find new love or see their fortunes change among the Nobles. If a dance falters, even a Noble may face unexpected twists of fate.
The first of the five power shifts is the Crystal Slippers, enchanted shoes that are sure to woo any noble at a Grand Ball. Getting your hands on a pair of these slippers doesn’t have to be Agony, so let’s take a look at where to nab a pair for yourself!
The Crystal Slippers can be found in treasure chests throughout the world. These spawn next to the rocks marked with an X and an arrow. If you are struggling to find these treasure spots, make sure to check out our Ondarion World Guide! If lucky, your Sims will receive a pair of Crystal Slippers.
You can also cheat the Crystal Slippers in by enabling ‘testingcheats’, Shift + Click on your Sim, Select ‘EP21 – Royalty & Legacy’, ‘Power Shift Events’, and ‘[DEBUG] Create Crystal Slippers.
Once your Sim has a pair, you can enable the Power Shift Event by selecting them in your Sim’s inventory and choosing ‘Wear Shoes’. This will have your Sim instantly change into formal attire and their newfound slippers. You will also receive a notification encouraging you to plan a Ballroom Event, perfect for meeting Nobles in Ondarion!
At the Ball event, make sure to find an eligible Noble and choose either ‘Dance for Romance’ or ‘Dance for Status’, the latter granting your Sims the title of the chosen dance partner. Be warned, a failed dance can lead to upset and a broken heart!
Simcalibur – The Sword in the Stone
Simcalibur beckons a Sim trusted and true, Adept with a blade and ready to pursue. A Kingdom awaits their guiding hand, where Commoners trust and understand. But if they fail to prove their worth, The Sword’s displeasure shall quake the earth.
Simcalibur is the rarest sword in The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy, and there is only one in existence in your save. Be careful who you choose to pull it! The sword is located next to Ye Olde Voyager bar in the region of Verdemar (see below)!
You can select ‘Examine Prophecy’ to learn more about the sword. The prophecy claims that only Sims with great standing with common people, and a proficiency in Swordsmanship are worthy of pulling the sword from the stone. If successful, the sword will be added to your Sims’ inventory. The sword acts as any other sword does in-game; it can be used in duels, to be trained with, or mounted on the wall. You can also perform two interactions unique to Simcalibur: ‘Ascend to Kingdom Leader’, and ‘Simcalibur’s Radiance’.
Choosing ‘Ascend to Kingdom Leader’ does exactly what it says on the tin: the chosen Sim will be instantly granted rank 10 of the Noble Career and will depose any Sim with that rank. The ‘Simcalibur’s Radiance’ interaction will grant your Sims an 8-hour confidence moodlet. You will need to wait for Simcalibur’s power to recharge before performing it again!
Noble Frogs – Kiss (Or Eat?)
Among the frogs that hop and roam, Some once called a Sim-life home. Twisted by a trickster’s curse, From Noble lines to fates far worse. Yet only true love, pure and warm, Can break the spell and shift their form.
When kissed, these amphibians have a chance of transforming into Noble Sims, all ready for romance. As a noble, the transformed Sim will recognise your status and may instantly propose. Commoner Sims, on the other hand, have a chance of being rejected.
Frogs found in logs or water pumps in any world can be kissed! Simply click on a frog either in your Sims inventory, or one they have in a tank on the active lot, and select ‘Kiss Frog’.
You can also cheat the Noble Frog in by enabling ‘testingcheats’, Shift + Click on your Sim, Select ‘EP21 – Royalty & Legacy’, ‘Power Shift Events’, and ‘[DEBUG] Create Noble Frog.
Regular frogs are not noble, and will not grant your Sims the same benefit; they will still result in an instant engagement if you choose to accept the suitor’s proposal. Noble Frogs can be distinguished from regular frogs by the pillow they sit on and the crown on their head. Both types of frogs can be found in the usual places. Noble Frogs have a much rarer chance of appearing.
If you have The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature and your Sim is Level 5 or higher in the Natural Living Skill, they can choose to eat the noble frog if they so wish.
The Enchanted Mirror – Pick Number 3 My Lord
Gaze within to test your chance, Blessed ascent or shadowed stance. Rise in rank or fortune’s glow, Or watch your luck and rivals grow. Seek a truth the glass may stir, But risk the fate it may confer.
The Enchanted Mirror can be found in a small island in the lake found in Bellacorde. This mirror can be interacted with, and if you choose ‘Examine Enchanted Mirror’, you will be given a poem (see above) tempting your Sim to seek their fortune, along with a healthy dose of warning.
Choosing to ‘Investigate Secrets on…’ will allow your Sim to uncover a scandal that another Sim is hiding, allowing you to find dirt on a rival that you can use to your advantage. Be warned, as this can backfire, leaving your Sim with a +1 Embarrassed moodlet that lasts 4 hours.
You can also choose to ‘Gaze into the Future’, either granting a boost in noble rank or increased career performance if your Sim is in any other profession than Noble. As with investigating secrets, this too can backfire, leaving your Sims with a penalty in career performance, and the quality of any crafted items being lowered.
Anansi’s Well – Spider Senses
Anansi, sly weaver of tales untold, Calls forth a Sim both curious and bold. To enter his Trials is to dance with the sly, Where riddles twist under the spider’s eye. The wise earn boons from challenges met, But careless Sims find tangled debt.
Anansi’s Well can be found between Zanbira Market and Dambele Palace in the region of Dambele urrounded by spiders crawling along the ground. Anansi is a trickster god from West African and Carribbean folk lore, so take his advice with a pinch of salt.
You can ‘Ask for Anansi’s Advice’, which costs one Simoleon and will result in an advice notification popping up, with helpful hints on how to become a noble, how to help those around the world, and how to generally get by in Ondarion.
You can also choose to undertake four different trials set by Anansi. You must do these trials in order and they will see your Sim undertake challenges of skill to earn rewards. Take a look below at how to complete each trial:
Trial
Clue
Action
Trial One: Weave a Story
Spin a tale with wit and weight. Speak a story, and let Anasi decide your fate.
Learn a secret and share it with others.
Trial Two: Offer a Secret
Whisper what hides beneath your smile. Hold a secret too tightly and the web may twist, but share it and Anasi’s favor finds you.
Learn a sceret and share it with others.
Trial Three: Spin the Web
Weave a trick. Twist a thread. Let another stumble while you rise. Let Anasi judge if you are clever enough to dance in the web.
Successfully perform Deception interactions under the Mischief category.
Trial Four: Fulfil the Thread
Gather the words that linger in your mind, and bind them to the page. If written with excellence, it will endure gracefully in Anansi’s web. This is your final trial.
Write a book with Excellent Quality.
You will have 3 days to achieve each task successfully to avoid a penalty. Upon completing the final trial, you will be granted the ‘Threadshifter Trait’ that will allow your Noble Sims to change their alignment between Commoner and Royal.

If you love immersive family gameplay in The Sims 4, the Sims 4 Baby On The Way CC Pack is about to become a must-have in your Mods folder. Created by the incredibly talented SIXAM CC, this pack focuses on realistic nursery design, heartfelt storytelling moments, and beautifully crafted build/buy items that make preparing for a new Sim baby feel truly special.
Designed with family players and legacy challenges in mind, the Baby On The Way CC Pack adds depth to pregnancy gameplay by letting your Sims slowly build and decorate their nursery, right down to assembling the crib in-game.
Currently, the pack is in Early Access on Patreon, meaning players who want it now will need to subscribe for immediate download.
Table of Contents
What Is the Sims 4 Baby On The Way CC Pack?
The Baby On The Way CC Pack is a thoughtfully designed nursery-focused custom content series by SIXAM CC that brings realism, storytelling, and cozy family moments into your gameplay. Part 1 includes a beautifully crafted set of 18 decorative and build/buy items, while Part 2 introduces a special gameplay mod that allows you to fully assemble the crib in stages.
Inside the pack, you’ll find a variety of scene-setting details — from moving boxes and painting supplies to baby essentials waiting to be unpacked — perfect for creating realistic pregnancy storylines and nurseries that slowly come together over time. The crib is designed in unassembled stages inspired by flat-pack furniture, making it ideal for storytelling builds.
Players can also build and customize the baby mobile, choosing between two décor themes: birds or space. As your Sim family grows, the crib can even be upgraded and converted into a toddler bed, adding long-term value for legacy gameplay.
Important note: The Part 2 crib-building mod requires the The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack in order to function properly.
Build & Buy Catalog Preview
Below is a complete catalog of every item included in the Sims 4 Baby On The Way CC Pack, along with detailed preview images for each piece.
Swatch Previews
Take a closer look at every object in the set, showcasing all available color variations and design options.
How You Can Build Your Own Baby Crib In-Game
One of the most unique features of the Sims 4 Baby On The Way CC Pack is the ability to fully build your baby’s crib through interactive gameplay instead of instantly placing a finished object. Once your Sim is ready, they can interact with the “Build the Crib” box and select “Start Working Carefully.” As they work, building the crib also boosts both Mental and Handiness skills.
The crib begins in unassembled stages inspired by flat-pack furniture, allowing your Sims to gradually put it together across two phases as the pregnancy progresses. This creates realistic preparation moments that feel immersive and rewarding.
Interestingly, chatting with a partner or another Sim in the room slows the process down, making it take noticeably longer than building alone. During the interaction, Sims receive a Focused moodlet labeled “Working on a School Project.” A partner can even assist with the build (though the animation does clip slightly).
Once the crib is complete, you can add a lovely baby mobile that spins gently and plays soft lullabies, bringing even more warmth and realism to the nursery space.
Overall, it takes around 3–6 in-game hours (if including the mobile) to complete the crib depending on whether your Sim works solo or with help, which feels surprisingly realistic for such a hands-on project.
A Cozy First Time Parent Apartment That Showcases the Pack Beautifully
One of the most charming showcases of the Sims 4 Baby On The Way CC Pack comes from Sims content creator Gryphi, who built the most adorable First Time Parents Apartment using items from SIXAM CC’s collection.
The build perfectly captures that early-parenthood energy with cozy, realistic, and thoughtful details that make gameplay feel warm and lived-in.
Gryphi also shared a full build video and uploaded the apartment to the Gallery, so players can download it directly into their game.
Important note: To experience the build exactly as shown, you’ll need to download several of SIXAM CC’s currently free custom content collections in addition to the Baby On The Way CC Pack.
Once everything is installed, the apartment looks absolutely stunning in-game.
Early Access Details – How to Download It Now
The Sims 4 Baby On The Way CC Pack is currently available in Early Access on Patreon. Linked in the button below!
• A subscription is required to download it right now • Supporters get immediate access • It will be released publicly later, typically a month after the initial Early Access release

Our Final Thoughts – Is the Baby On The Way CC Pack Worth It?

• Family gameplay • Legacy challenges • Cozy builds • Realistic life moments

Maxis announces a new The Sims 4 Patch drop for this week!
The Sims Team has announced through their official Discord channels that there is going to be a new Sims 4 Hotfix Update. Set to release for this Thursday – February 19th, 2026! Here’s what you can expect from the latest hotfix patch:
The Sims 4 Hotfix Update Announcement
The Sims Community Manager EA_Cade shared a new message, revealing a new Sims 4 Hotfix Update for this Thursday. In this update you should expect fixes for issues with Sims freezing during marriage, as well as “additional Family Tree fixes”.
Sul Sul, Simmers, We’ll have a small Base Game update available this Thursday, February 19th containing fixes for issues with Sims freezing when getting married as well as additional Family Tree fixes.
What’s up with Family Trees?
A lot, in fact! Players who have never used CC / Mods have started reporting several issues with The Sims 4 Family Trees ever since the recent Sims 4 Updates hit the game this February. With reports on wrong connections, a family tree layout that’s way too stretched out and overlapping relations and interface that just makes no sense.
EA Forums member ToutouXL reported five different examples of how Family Trees have broken down in their game:
The new family tree is not working at all! Now I can’t understand nor use this family tree function! PS I didn’t use any mod nor cc!
The biggest problems lie in the overlap of the family members, I can’t see clear connection of any family. Besides, some of sims are married with kids in the family tree which are obvious image expression error! Not to mention that I am not able to tell who are the kids or siblings of one family. I show some pictures below, can you tell me HOW CAN I UNDERSTAND?
Example 1, the sim marries with a kid in family tree( actually not)! Plus a mess and serious overlap.
Example 2, unable to recognize one family.
Example 3, what does this white stripe mean? I can’t even tell the latest generation relationships.
Example 4, I pressed the little kid in the end of family tree, next thing I see is without this kid and all the people irrelevant to neither mother nor kid.
If the bugs is too time-consuming to fix, can you just return to the old logic and design which functions super well?! Thanks.
The upcoming Sims 4 Hotfix Update is expected to fix only two game issues, so you shouldn’t expect your recently-updated Sims 4 Mods and CC to break again with the upcoming Update release. We’ll keep you posted if that’s not the case though!
You can keep track of all the current Sims 4 Patch release notes right here.

How to Earn All Rewards in The Sims 4 Lost Legacies Event Week 2!
Welcome to The Sims 4 Lost Legacies Event Week 3! Make sure to check out our previous guide for week 2 if you haven’t completed it yet before jumping straight into week 3. Players have until March 16th 2026 (subject to extension) to complete all quests and claim all the rewards before they are gone for good. Let’s dive straight in and see how to unlock all of the rewards in The Sims 4 Lost Legacies Week 3!
Table of Contents
The Sims 4 Lost Legacies Event Week 3 Introduction
Another week, another Ondarion family to research and uncover their mysteries. This week, we will be getting further insight into Princess Cordelia and the Thebe family. You can check out the new quests and this week’s rewards either by selecting ‘Event’ on the main menu, or by clicking the Event icon in the top-left corner of the screen in Live Mode!
‘The Pirate Princess’ Quest Walkthrough
With a new key found and the Envoy’s behavior growing stranger by the moment, it’s time to find out about the last family mentioned: the Thebes.
The first quest pop-up of The Sims 4 Lost Legacies Event Week 3 may take a moment to show, but once it does, hit ‘OK’ to continue. The first steps will be listed in the top-left corner of Live Mode. The Envoy should now appear at your lot, and you need to select ‘Ask About the Thebe Family’. The Envoy will then tell your Sim that she is setting a challenge. Time to prepare for whatever the challenge entails.
Our first task in preparation for the challenge is to research the Thebe family. Head to any computer and the interaction will appear on the first page of the pie menu.
We’re told that Cordelia Thebe has an interest in paintings and stolen treasure. Interesting. The next task is to train our chess skills. Head to any chess table and select ‘Ponder Moves’.
Our final of the three tasks is to ask another Sim about Cordelia. To undertake this piece of market research, select any Sim and choose ‘Ask About Cordelia’
Now we’re ready for our challenge. The Envoy said that once we are prepared, we should meet her in ‘the park’. The specific park is Magnolia Blossom Park in Willow Creek!
NOTE: Some players have reported issues with the task not completing when travelling to non-default lots.
Once at the park, either find Marina the Envoy at a chess table, or choose a chess table and select ‘Play With…’.
Now that our Sim has beaten Marina, she storms off and promises to tell us what she knows later.
After a tense chess match, frustarted by the loss, the Envoy abruptly stormed off. The Envoy’s behavior continues to grow stranger.
‘The Pirate’s Treasure’ Quest Walkthrough
After overreacting to a defeat at chess and storming off, the Royal Envoy is on the move again.
Return home to begin the next quest in pursuit of knowledge (and Event Points!) Our first task of the second quest of The Sims 4 Lost Legacies Event Week 3 is to watch the News on a television. The News report tells our Sim that paintings from the Thebe family’s collection are being displayed at the Municipal Muses Museum.
As instructed previously, we need to call the Envoy once we are ready to know more. You can either call Marina via the phone or find her portrait in the relationships tab on the UI, select it, and choose ‘Call’. She is insistent that we check out Municipal Muses Museum, the same place mentioned on the news.
And the Municipal Muses Museum is exactly where we’re heading next. As with the travel destinations found over the last couple of weeks, Municipal Muses is located in the Crawdad Quarter of Willow Creek.
At the Museum, we are tasked with examining three paintings on the lot. Select any painting and choose ‘Inspect Painting’. Tough luck though, as our Sim will find absolutely nothing of note in the paintings…
Did you know that there is a statue of Cordelia in the museum? Neither did I, and our next goal is to inspect it. The statue can be found to the right of the ground-floor entrance. Unlike the paintings, the statue is of note! There is a code concealed at the base of the statue!
Now that we’ve found a mysterious code, it’s time to call the Envoy again. Select the envoy from the phone or via the relationship tab. The Envoy will tell us that she already knows of the code, and she tried it on a bench. Perhaps we should do the same?
Time to search a bench, I guess. Select any bench and choose ‘Search Bench’. Once searched, your Sim will discover a box… but it’s empty? I guess this is a case for the final set of quests next week.
Once complete, your Sims are free to do whatever they want for another week without being harassed or judged by the Royal Envoy.
The Envoy has dissappeared and taken a treasure! Were they trying to take it for themself this entire time?

The 21st Sims 4 Expansion pack brings an exciting new swordsmanship 10-level skill for your Sims. While you can challenge any Sim to a duel wherever you please, official tournaments are locked to the gazebos in Ondarion‘s three neighbourhoods: Dambele, Verdemar, and Bellacorde. But don’t sheath your sword yet – there’s a clever vanilla workaround to host them on any lot in any world! Here’s your full step-by-step guide.
The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Guide: Swordsmanship Tournaments in All Worlds
Swordsmanship tournaments in Ondarion
The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy introduces three distinct Swordsmanship tournament types, live events where your Sims battle it out to prove they’re the ultimate blade master. These live competitions spawn opponent Sims for duels, building tension round by round as your Sim climbs the ranks. Different amount of simoleons are given as a reward to a Sim who finishes up 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. You can launch a tournament anytime during Sim time (no waiting for schedules!). Just interact with one of the two special objects:
Gazebos (found in each of Ondarion’s three neighborhoods: Dambele, Verdemar, and Bellacorde).
Duel carpets (also scattered in those same spots for dramatic showdowns).
These objects can be used to enroll, start the next round, duel an opponent, or forfeit if things get too heated for your Sim. Both objects can be used for these interactions, but the duel carpet is where the duel will happen, so its presence is mandatory.
What The Sims team forgot to do
Like most gameplay objects in The Sims 4 worlds, I fully expected the gazebos and duel carpets from Royalty & Legacy to appear in the pack’s debug catalogue, the hidden build/buy catalogue full of collectibles, books, nature decorations, functional items and more. To access the debug catalogue (on PC/Mac or console), open the cheat console:
PC/Mac: Ctrl + Shift + C
Console: Press all four back triggers at once
Then enter these cheats one by one:
testingcheats true
bb.showhiddenobjects
bb.showliveeditobjects
To my surprise, several gazebo variants appeared – but only one is actually functional for starting tournaments (just like in Ondarion). The duel carpet? Completely absent from the list. Worse still: even with the functional gazebo placed, Sims simply stand frozen during a duel attempt – no swords clashing, no action whatsoever – because the interaction depends on the duel carpet being present.
A quick look at the objects’ code revealed that the duel carpet had been flagged differently (likely an oversight in categorisation or visibility), so it remained locked away. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen something similar. Remember The Sims 4: High School Years? The iconic ice cream stall in Copperdale appears as a decorative façade in debug, but the functional vendor side (where the vendor actually serves) is still hidden to this day – requiring similar tricks to unlock properly.
Fortunately, a simple vanilla workaround exists to get tournaments working anywhere (no mods or CC required) — and that’s precisely what this guide covers next!
Host Swordsmanship Tournaments outside Ondarion
The steps for hosting a swordsmanship tournament on any lot in any worlds are quite simple, and 100% vanilla, so this works on consoles as well.
Keep in mind that you do not need the gazebo to host tournaments, only the duel carpet is essential. Here’s what to do:
Select the lot where you want to host tournaments and go to build mode.
Go to the gallery and search for my profile: Plumbocat.
You’ll find the following room I have uploaded, which includes the duel carpet inside it.
I recommend saving the room to your library (second button on the bottom left) in case you need the object in the future without needing to access the gallery.
Click on the install room button (on the bottom right) then place the room anywhere you want on your lot.
Select the carpet and place it where you need it.
You can safely delete the entire room, you don’t need it anymore.
It is worth noting that:
Since this is a debug item, you will not be able to use the eyedropper to copy the object.
You can place more than one duel carpet on your lot if you wish (handy for larger tournament setups or aesthetics), but bear in mind: only one tournament can run at a time. No simultaneous duels or overlapping events – your Sims will use one single carpet at a time.
This works on any residential or community lot type in your game.
You will not be able to host a tournament while another event is already taking place on your lot.
If you want to install the gazebo as well, simply use the debug cheats from the previous paragraph.
Once you click on the carpet or the gazebo and start the tournament, the regular goals for this event will show up as they would in Ondarion.
And now, your Sims can duel in any world you want, like mine is doing right now in Nordhaven (from The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies).
Hopefully, the Sims team will flag the duel carpet correctly in a future update so it appears properly in the pack’s debug catalogue, just like the functional gazebo variants. What are your thoughts on hosting swordsmanship tournaments in other worlds? Will you be using this workaround to set up epic duels in worlds like Willow Creek, Sulani, or even Forgotten Hollow? Or are you sticking to Ondarion for that authentic renaissance feel?
Let’s get right to the point; The Sims 4: Royalty and Legacy expansion pack introduces a the Swordsmanship skill, an edgy new combative feature. Is your Sim ready to take a stab at it?
Table of Contents
Commoner and Royal Sims alike can all pick up a blade and learn the Swordsmanship skill in The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy expansion pack. Previously seen in The Sims Medieval, this classic form of combat lets your sim battle for their cause through Duels and Swordsmanship Tournaments.
All Swordsmanship Skill Levels
The Swordsmanship skill is available to all Sims ages Teen and older, with the exception or pregnant Sims. It is unlocked by using the Practice Swordsmanship interaction on a Practice Dummy and has 10 levels. Sims can also Purchase Books on the Swordsmanship skill, compete in Duels, and try their hand in Swordsmanship Tournaments to increase their skill level.
[table id=136 /]
Of course, if you’re not interested in working your way to the top, you can always cheat your way there.
Does Your Sim Duel Well Under Pressure?
As your Sim progresses through the Swordsmanship skill in The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy expansion pack, they’ll unlock several exciting types of duels they can use on other Swordsman: Duel for a Sim’s Heart, Duel for Permission to Marry, Duel for Simoleons, Duel for Noble Rivalry, Duel for Fun, Duel for Dynasty Headship, and Duel for Career Promotion. Sims with higher Swordsmanship skill and better mood will be more likely to win the Duel.
Not every Sim will be interested in a Duel, however. Your Sim’s Duel may be denied if the other Sim knows your Sim has a higher skill level or if the Duel has very High Stakes. Sims with high Charisma skill, Noble Sims, and Sims who are members of an important Dynasty will have a better chance of their Duels being accepted.
Swordsmanship Tournaments
The Swordsmanship skill is not just for Dueling other Sims and taking out frustrations on a Practice Dummy. This skill also unlocks the ability for your Sim to put their skills to the test and compete in world renown Swordsmanship Tournaments.
There are three tournaments to choose from: the Gunther Goth’s Cup, the Regional Ondarion Invitational, and the SimNation Grand Masters. Each tournament is comprised of three rounds of Duels with Break Periods in between each Duel. Break Periods allow your Sim some time to rest up, or complete optional challenges such as Stretch, Insult an Opponent, and more.
Unlike other Events, Swordsmanship Tournaments do not have a time limit and will end when all Duels have been completed or when your Sim Gives Up. Select the Gazebo or Rug to Enroll in a Swordsmanship Tournament, Start a Duel, or Give Up. There are three Swordsmanship Tournament locations across Ondarion:
Verdemar: Located behind Ye Olde Voyager Bar and next to the Blacksmith.
Dambele: Located between the Darong residence and the Hardcover backroom.
Bellacorde: Located at the La Vivace lounge.
Gunther Goth’s Cup
This beginners friendly cup is open to all Swordsman with the Swordsmanship skill levels 2 and up, with an entry fee of 25 Simoleons. The cup was founded by the great Gunther Goth, who had a passion for the sport.
Gunther Goth’s Cup Rewards:
1st Place Reward: 250 Simoleons
2nd Place Reward: 125 Simoleons
3rd Place Reward: 75 Simoleons
Regional Ondarion Invitational
The intermediate Swordsmanship Tournament is available for Sims with the Swordsmanship skill level 6 or higher, with an entry fee of 50 Simoleons. While winning this Tournament leads to a bigger reward, losing it to a commoner may lead to an even bigger Scandal.
Regional Ondarion Invitational Rewards:
1st Place Reward: 500 Simoleons
2nd Place Reward: 250 Simoleons
3rd Place Reward: 125 Simoleons
SimNation Grand Masters
The most difficult of Swordsmanship Tournaments is the SimNation Grand Masters. Sims with the Swordsmanship skill level 9 or higher may enroll in this tournament, with an entry fee of 100 Simoleons.
1st Place Reward: 1000 Simoleons
2nd Place Reward: 500 Simoleons
3rd Place Reward: 250 Simoleons
The Complete List of Swords
As your Sim increases their Swordsmanship skill level in The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy, they’ll unlock different swords to use in combat. Once your Sim has started down the Path of the Sword by Practicing Sworsdmanship, a Sword will be automatically added to their inventory.
Your Sim can purchase more swords at the Blacksmith shop in Verdemar, earn a sword from the Noble career, pull one from the stone in Verdemar, and find hidden swords around Ondarion for a total of 11 possible swords. Your Sim can choose from the different swords in their inventory for different tournaments.
Crafted by Blacksmith
There are a total of 5 swords available at the Blacksmith’s shop:
Noble Career Reward
The Royal Golden Sword is granted to those who have worked their way up through the Noble Career. This Uncommon sword can be used by Sims with the Swordsmanship skill level 3 or higher and can be sold for 660 Simoleons.
The Sword and the Stone
In the Verdemar neighborhood, you may notice a sword sticking straight out of a stone. Your Sim can Attempt to Draw the Sword if they dare. Successful Sims will get to take home the rare Simcalibur Sword, but Sims who anger the stone may face an embarrassing demotion.
This sword can be used by Sims with the Swordsmanship skill level 5 or higher.
Hidden Treasure
For Sims willing to go on a few adventures, there are 4 swords hidden in pirate chests across Ondarion: The Power of Many Saber, Vorpal Blade, Sentry of the Sea Falcata, and the Thorns and Roses Rapier. Each of these swords can be weilded by a Sim with the level 5 or higher Swordsmanship skill.
These pirate chests have a possibility of containing rare swords for your Sim to add to their collection. Each neighborhood has its own hidden treasure locations, and they are marked by a cluster of rocks with a red X and two red arrows.
Verdemar:
Behind the Casa Do Corsario lot and to the left of the stairs, the treasure chest can be found at the foot of the one statue that is not blocked off by gates.
Near the Thebes household, you’ll find an overlook with a chess table and bench. The treasure chest can be found near the statue behind the chess table.
Behind the Ye Olde Voyager Bar and down the ramp towards the sea, you’ll find the treasure chest near the lantern on the ground.
To the left of The Lair in the Open-Air lot near the Verdemar Swamp, you’ll find the treasure chest.
Bellacorde:
Behind the Monty residence, slightly to the left on the street near an orange tree, you’ll find the treasure chest.
To the left of the big tree and the easel, go down the stone stairway and you’ll find the treasure chest in front of the bench near the sea.
Dambele:
Travel to the left of the Hardcover backroom, and you’ll see a secluded shore with a small dock. Between the dock and the fence, you’ll find the treasure chest.
Has your Sim had a chance to grab a blade and try out the Swordsmanship skill from The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy expansion pack? How do you feel about this new skill? Let us know your thoughts below!
The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy introduces a wide range of new systems built around its kingdom theme.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to customize your kingdom, whether you want to improve your Sims’ daily lives or plunge the world into absolute chaos.
Through features like Noble Decreesand the adjustableKingdom Tax, players can directly influence how their world operates. From imposing stricter policies to increasing household bills across the realm, these mechanics allow you to shape the social and economic balance of your kingdom. Combined with the ability to assign Kingdom Titlesfrom the Manage Worlds screen, The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy gives players unprecedented control over their domain.
The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Kigdom Taxes and Kingdom Titles Guide
How to Start Customizing Your Kingdom: Kingdom Taxes and Noble Decrees
The first step is — drum roll — joining the Noble career! But don’t expect to start ruling immediately. At the lower ranks, the kingdom isn’t exactly yours to command, so you’ll need to climb a few levels before gaining access to the tools that let you shape its laws and taxes. All of these features are accesible thought the new thrones available in the expansion.
It’s at Level 5, Opulent Overseer, when your Noble Sim unlocks the first customizable feature: Kingdom Taxes! From this point on, you can decide how heavily to tax your citizens, choosing between several options that directly affect how many simoleons your household earns. Whether your goal is to keep your commoners content or slowly drain their wallets for the sake of royal prosperity is entirely up to you.
Warning: Any Kingdom Tax changes you impose will affect all households in that world — including your own active Sims. If your Noble decides to raise taxes, your other played families won’t be exempt. Make sure you’re ready to deal with the financial consequences before tightening the royal purse strings!
The available Kindgom Taxes options and their official descriptions are:
Very High: Noble Salaries and Household Bills in the region increase by 20%. All Noble families gain Royal Favor over time.
High: Noble Salaries and Household Bills in the region increase by 10%. All Noble families gain Royal Favor over time.
Normal: Noble Salaries in the region and Household Bills will be normal, neither increasing nor decreasing.
Low: Noble Salaries and Household Bills in the region decrease by 10%. All Noble families gain Commoner Favor over time.
Very Low: Noble Salaries and Household Bills in the region decrease by 20%. All Noble families gain Commoner Favor over time.
The next feature unlocks at Level 7, Influential Liege, when your Sim gains the ability to issue Noble Decrees. These function similarly to the Neighborhood Action Plans from The Sims 4: Eco Living, but with one key difference: their effects apply to the entire world and are not subject to public voting.
You can have up to three active Noble Decrees in your kingdom at the same time, with a total of eight different decrees available to enact.
The Cradle Accord:
Higher chance for a pregancy to result in twins / triplets.
Skill gain for Infants and Toddlers.
Try for Baby has an increased chance of resulting in pregnacy.
The Artisan’s Proclamation:
Skill gain for Painting, Photography, Guitar, Piano, Violin & Writing.
Busking gives more Simoleons.

Career Performance gain Actor. (Get Famous)

Career Performance increase for Tech Guru & Astronaut.
Career Performance gain Scientist. (Get to Work)

Screenshot
As you can see, there is a wide variety of Noble Decrees your Sim can ordain, each one offering meaningful advantages for your gameplay. Unlike similar systems in other packs, such as Eco Living, these decrees don’t restrict your Sims’ daily lives or force them into specific behaviors. Instead, they focus on boosting opportunities: faster skill gain, improved career performance, better-quality crafted items, and even smoother progress toward completing collections. Some of them can even help your Sims avoid death itself.
Customize Noble Titles in The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy
Beyond Kingdom Tax and Noble Decrees, Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy also lets you fully customize your kingdom’s hierarchy through Kingdom Titles. From Manage Worlds, you can select View Kingdom Management to check the current tax level, active Noble Decrees, and see every noble Sim within that realm. It’s essentially your control panel for how the entire kingdom is structured.
When it comes to Noble Titles, it’s worth remembering that nobility has never been universal. Different cultures and historical periods have used completely different systems. While traditional Europe is often associated with titles like Duke, Count, or King, other regions have had their own equivalents with different meanings and ranks. That flexibility is reflected in the expansion.
You can modify noble ranks from level 1 all the way up to level 10, and each title can be customized separately for masculine, feminine, and neutral versions. There is also an option to apply these changes to all kingdoms in your save. This means you’re not locked into traditional labels; you can adapt your Kingdom Titles to fit a fantasy setting, a culturally inspired monarchy, or even a completely original political structure.
In the end, The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy brings several ways to personalize our gameplay and gives us new advantages when it comes to telling our stories. They may not be as deep as the systems found in more specialized titles like The Sims Medieval, but they certainly introduce fresh opportunities to create both harmony and chaos—like raising taxes on your poor commoners… and seeing how they deal with it.
How are you customizing your kingdom so far? Let us know in the comments below, and don’t forget to check out our other The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy guides to make the most of every feature the expansion has to offer!

Our Review of The Sims 4 Solarium Tea Time Kit
Credit where credit is due…this pack is gorgeous. Despite everything, I feel that The Sims Team has being upping their asset making game in the years since release. The comparison between older base game content and the ones that have come in the last few years proves that, and The Sims 4 Solarium Tea Time Kit is no exception. I love it when The Sims Team allows themselves to fall headfirst into the campiness of a concept. Sometimes things don’t need to be completely contemporary; sometimes? They can just be a bit fun.
Which this pack very much is. The Sims Team were trying to go for a “Elegant, but make it whimsical” vibe that I personally find very charming. It’s all very twee without cresting over the hill into the realm of being too much.
I am also pleased that the pack has gameplay functionality. It isn’t all just pretty things for decoration. There’s substance. Something tangible that will have you actually remembering the name of the pack instead of just “binge purchase 14# for this month.”
Which perhaps is a bit of a heavy word when it comes to a kit, but there’s something.
Though, I have some reservations.
Is “tea time in a sunroom” really worth 4.99$ USD? It’s a very cute concept, yes, and the items are lovely, but this doesn’t truly scream “essential purchase” all-caps, with exclamation points on top.
It feels like it was (and, honestly, it could very well be) a cast off set of concepts for The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy. All the swatches co-ordinate near perfectly with the color story specific to the expansion pack. If you hold up the assets of Solarium Tea Time Kit and Royalty and Legacy together? You’d think it’s all part of the same pack. They’re pretty close. Too close.
Of course, you could argue that it was made to co-ordinate with The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy…which, okay, sure, but why? Why make a kit to co-ordinate with a pack? We all remember the uproar around The Sims 4 My First Pet Stuff, but it also seemed to have turned a decent profit, so who knows. It just feels somewhat odd to make two fresh kits that just so happen to mesh well with a fresh out of the oven expansion. I mean, The Sims 4 Castle Estate Kit very much exists, but isn’t included in the bundle.
My concern isn’t really for the Simmers like me who pre-ordered and/or bought the bundle before the cut off date. It’s more for the principle of it all. Yes, the bundle is a good deal in my eyes, but there should be a balance. So it feels a bit unfair to a kit as part of a limited time bundle as it feels like artificially halving the content of the expansion. So, there’s that.
“Is she done yapping yet?” You all, probably
But, in terms of the kit in it’s entirety? I would it’s lovely as part of the bundle, or on sale. While it feels like a lovely extension to The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy‘s roster of content it is far from essential. The pack, by default, comes with it’s own tea set, and a variety of other packs also have snack trays and banquet tables. The hero items here are just a cute twist on an old concept. Enjoyable, but average. I personally wouldn’t have bought this kit if not for the bundle, though I do like it now that I have it.
The ultimate decision on what you need or don’t, as ever, falls in your hands, dear reader. I just hope I was able to give you a broader perspective before you wipe out your debit card and have to remember those three numbers on the back.

With the drop of InZOI’s recent update yesterday, February 12th, lots of new features were added. However, that didn’t mean the developers didn’t have more plans and work-in-progresses to show off this week. The weekly InZOI Developer Update has been a way of InZOI’s team, the team working on the game from the studio Krafton, to connect with players and get consistent and almost immediate feedback on current features, planned future features, and what players want to see next.
Since this InZOI developer update was dropped just after the February patch, some items are already in-game, some are planned for the next patch when that does come, and some still don’t have a planned release date either because they are unfinished or because they don’t fit into anything just yet.
InZOI Developer Update:Animation Smoothing, Lunar New Year items, and NEW Baby Stuff!
○ The team has done more work towards bike riding to smooth out the animation, making it more natural-looking.
○ There has been more work on multitasking, allowing Zois to handle different objects using both of their hands.
○ New changes to dialogue prompts and the action queue; New choices will override older queued options, instead of having to wait for interactions to fully complete.
○ There is a now a smoother, more natural “pan slap” animation with a better follow through. Victim now “nonchalantly rises up” after being hit. (Kjun is still not sure where or if this will be used).
○ Improvements and adjustments being made to the AI Build mechanic. They’re fixing weird glitches/issues, and adding the ability to apply colors and change the types of furniture in the render.
○ Key customization has now been added; You can add single keybinds, as well as different combinations with shift keys and other alternatives. Example shown in video is changing movement from WASD to ESDF. Also using shift and control keys to change Zoi movement speed, or swap to different Zois.
○ When changing outfits in-game, the background can now be your Zois current surroundings so you can see what the outfit will look like in that situation.
○ Lots more traditional outfits and build mode expansions have been added in traditional styles for Lunar New Year.
○ With some of these outfits added, special interactions only enabled when these traditional outfits are on. These include bowing animations, using fans, and new traditional dances.
○ These traditional build tools and assets have also been used to create a vintage cafe in Dowon’s Ullim Temple, which can be purchased and worked out of using the small business system.
○ There are various new assets to be added into the game, through multiple parts and sections of the game. It was not specified exactly where these were going to be implemented, but they seem like an expansion on the baked goods and baking system, new assets for small businesses, as well as possibly landscaping and bouquets.
○ Adjustments and improvements to the animations for Zois eating baked goods.
○ Zois no longer have to sit down to read their fortune, and can read it on any surface it is placed on.
○ A traditional floor mat Zois can sit on has been added.
○ Newborn babies will now be toothless, rather than having teeth visible right after birth. They will regain their teeth once they’ve grown a bit more.
○ Two new outfits for newborn and infant Zois are being created and added.
○ There are new animation adjustments to the interaction of Zoi’s taking pictures of their babies, making them “less invasive”.
○ Babies are being given animations to indicate them imitating toys, since they learn via sight and example. The example given was a baby imitating the flapping wings and motions of their duck toy.
InZOI Developer Update – February 13th, 2026
Hello, This Friday marks the beginning of a long holiday weekend here in Korea. So I’m posting this update and video a little earlier than usual before heading home to my beloved wife and son.
If you take a close look at this week’s video, you’ll notice that many of the improvements I mentioned at the beginning of the year have been implemented in inZOI. The game still has many shortcomings, but I truly believe that with continued dedication throughout 2026, it will become something much better.
Recently, we have been developing an in-game GUI system to make cheats easier to use. However, cheats by nature cannot guarantee perfect stability, and they can increase the likelihood of unexpected behavior in the game. Since inZOI already has its share of bugs, we were concerned that adding cheats might create additional confusion, which is why we postponed this feature for some time. That said, through ongoing communication with you, we clearly saw the strong demand for cheat functionality, and we are now actively working on it. The upcoming update will include several new cheats.
Regarding modding, we have assigned additional team members to accelerate support for script modding. The key challenge is connecting all systems through Lua scripts. inZOI has accumulated a large number of functions and systems over time, and linking them one by one requires more effort and cost than initially expected. Even so, please know that modding remains one of our top priorities this year.
I hope you all enjoy the long holiday, and I will return next week with more updates. Please also enjoy the development video prepared by the inZOI team this week. Thank you.

Could be just another insider placeholder title until we get an official name, though.
If you think that the news about The Sims Franchise’s future post-buyout couldn’t get any better, we now apparently know that EA has been doing an internal playtesting and surveys for a new The Sims Virtual Currency. Titled “Mooca”, the new virtual Sims currency doesn’t just mean that we might get a new game currency. But also a new place to get premium Sims content, items and possibly even extra features for the game.
Unofficial Mooca Coin Concept

Current Reports about The Sims Virtual Currency
Yesterday we reported about a new Rumor of The Sims Franchise’s future and internal new frameworks that EA is allegedly imposing onto Maxis team. Including EA’s direct control into the game’s monetization, involvements in creating digital storefronts, subscription models, paid and virtual reward currency and more. Here’s what the statement said:
The new framework will restructure the franchise to heavily involve EA into the day to day operations, and rather than Maxis coming up with ideas to meet the targets set by EA, sections of EA will now be more involved in the game from how content is created, distributed and monetised. Plans include subscription models, digital storefronts with paid and virtual reward currency, deeper engagement events, creative direction and more. This will include creative control on execution of ideas to minimise development costs, with EA being more involved in working with game designers.
New “Mooca” Sims Currency Mentioned
Following the report, Sims creator and insider @lunar_britney shed some more light about what’s been going on behind the scenes with user research into the new digital currency. Alleging that EA had an internal survey “months ago” for a new Digital Currency for The Sims titled “Mooca”.
if you think THIS is too much DLC, if EA’s buyout goes through in Summer, 2026 – prepare for worse. There were surveys months ago about a digital currency coming into the sims called Mooca (the cowplant icon)
There’s currently no information if the new “Mooca” currency is just a placeholder name, and if the currency will be used for The Sims 4, Project X or both.
Previous Mentions of Subscriptions and Passes
Just last month we reported about a new type of Subscription Pass mentioned in the backend of EA’s site servers. Which seems to hint at a possible “Collector’s Pass” which would grant player access to the entire DLC catalogue for The Sims 4.
“value”: “Cancel The Sims 4 Collector’s Pass – Electronic Arts”
“key: “CANCEL_MEMBERSHIP_TEXT_BODY”,
“value”: “Before you go, how about taking your membership for a last spin with one of these Packs?”
Back in December 2014 we reported about EA’s first considerations about a “Sims 4 Premium” experience, which apparently was put to rest…until now.
The initial “Sims 4 Premium” experience promised players access to new Pack releases along with exclusive content that the Premium membership would provide.
If the rumors of a new Sims Digital Currency are titled “Mooca” are true, we wouldn’t just be getting new forms of subscriptions. But a whole new experience similar to what we had with The Sims 2 Store and The Sims 3 Store.

In The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack, new gameplay features directly impact how family dynamics work. Players can now create forged connections between Sims who are not biologically related, adding a new layer of intrigue to genealogical storytelling. This Forge A Connection feature opens the door to drama, manipulation, and unconventional family structures, reshaping how family trees can evolve within the franchise. In this guide, we’ll explain how Forge A Connection works and explore the different possibilities it brings to your gameplay.
How to Forge A Connection
Beyond the new drama scenarios you can create, this feature also opens the door to starting a Noble career in a not-so-legitimate way. It introduces an alternative path to power, one built on manipulation rather than heritage.
How to start Forging a Connection
The Forge A Connection feature may seem confusing at first, especially since there are a few key details to understand before trying it out. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know to start creating family trees full of drama and unlock new storytelling possibilities.
First of all, you’ll need the new Family Tree Tapestry introduced in The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy. This object gives you access to several options, including View Own Family Tree, Create a Dynasty, and Forge A Connection.
Now that we have the only object that allows you to do this, the next step is relationships (of course). Forging a connection works differently depending on whether the Sims involved are part of the nobility or not, so we’ll break down both scenarios.
Warning! Before using Forge A Connection, make sure the Sim you are trying to connect does not have a romantic relationship with any member of the family you want to link them to. Keep in mind that certain forged relationships require an intermediate relative to work properly. If you want to create a fake grandparent–grandchild connection, for example, you’ll first need to establish a parent between them.
Forge A Connection with No-Nobility Families
This is the simplest way to use the feature, as forging a connection with a regular Sim can trigger scandals and unwanted attention. It’s a much more accessible and controlled way to experiment with the system.
The first thing to keep in mind is that you need to meet the Sim you want to become related to.
It’s also recommended to meet the other members of their close family beforehand. Once that’s done, interact with the new tapestry object and select the Forge a Connection option. A new panel will appear, displaying two portraits: one for your active Sim and one for the Sim you’re attempting to connect with.
Choose the relationship you want to create, but keep in mind that some options may be restricted depending on the Sims’ ages. In this case, my Sim Derek can only be assigned as the son of Romeo Monty. Once you confirm the selection, the game will display the updated Family Tree, showing your Sim as part of their new (and entirely fabricated) lineage.
Yay! You’ve just committed a potential scandal. Your Sim has now forged fake relationships with every member of the target Sim’s family tree.
Beyond avoiding scandals, forging a connection with a non-noble Sim can actually be used strategically. For example, players who own The Sims 4: Life & Death could use it to fabricate a family tie and potentially secure an inheritance. Likewise, in The Sims 4: Get Famous, creating a connection with a prestigious or well-known family could help a Sim climb the celebrity ladder faster, leveraging their “new” lineage to boost their public image and social opportunities.
Enter the noble dynasty by using the Forge A Connection feature
This part is a bit trickier. While the procedure itself remains the same, becoming related to the patriarch or matriarch (or King / Queen) without being their direct child requires a bit more strategy. You’ll also need to avoid creating any romantic relationships with them or their children, as that can block certain forged connection options. It’s an entirely different approach to entering the royal family.
In this case, my Sim wanted to forge a fake relationship with Tybalt Capp by becoming the brother of one of his children. Since you need to meet the parent before creating the connection, you must first introduce yourself to the patriarch. This can take several attempts, as he behaves similarly to a celebrity and isn’t always immediately accessible. If you own The Sims 4: Get Famous, the process can be even more challenging due to the fame system restrictions.
To increase his chances, my Sim Derek also introduced himself to Tybalt’s daughter, Celeste, making it easier to establish the necessary family links before attempting the forged connection.
Then, when I succeeded in improving Derek’s relationship with Tybalt, I could Forge A Connection as usual.
As you can see, the panel will ask you to choose the type of relationship between the two Sims. Once you confirm your selection — congratulations!
If the household belongs to an established dynasty, you can then ask the patriarch or matriarch to join it. However, acceptance isn’t guaranteed, as your chances will depend on your relationship level and overall standing with the family.
You can also gain access to the Noble career path by forging a connection as the monarch’s fake child.
And just like that, your Sim can create fake relationships with almost anyone and completely reshape the family tree to their advantage. Whether you’re looking to spark drama, secure an inheritance, or climb the Noble ranks through less-than-honest means, Forge A Connection opens up new storytelling possibilities that go far beyond traditional genealogy.
Now it’s your turn. How would you use this feature? Would you create secret heirs, fabricate royal bloodlines, or build the ultimate scandal-filled dynasty? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned for more Royalty & Legacy Guides!
