Aristocrat, Royalty, & Paramour Career Pack (S4)

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

With 13 new careers and a new relationship in this pack, you can officially become a noble, royal, or the lover of a noble or a royal! Adopted from three different societies of real history ("Europe", Heian Japan, Tang-dynasty China, Mali Empire, and a mixing of different eras of the Ottoman empire's existence).

Sims can now also become the "paramour" of either a noble or a royal sim under 2 new interactions.

NEW RELATIONSHIPS

"Paramour" // "Lover" // "Former Paramour" // "Former Lover"

Under the Interactions "Ask Sim to Be Your Paramour" & "Ask to Be Sim's Paramour", you will receive a new (cosmetic) relbit according to who has either the European Aristocrat/Royal career and you will become each others "Partners"/significant others. These ints are both found under the Romance category.

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

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

If you somehow get back together, the "former" relbits will be removed and the nonformer ones reapplied.

The original EA "Ask to Be Partner" will NOT yield these results. You also shouldn't use EA's "Break Up" interaction, either to end the relationships.

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

"Born Out of Marriage" (One's Bastard)

Through the Interactions "Acknowledge..." or (if you have only one eligible child) "Acknowledge Child" under the PieMenuCategory "Household", EU Aristocratic and Royal Sims can openly acknowledge a child they had out of wedlock. The first interaction lets you select which children, if there is more than one. Selected children will receive the EU "Illegitimate Scion" career if the parent worked with is a has the EU Aristocrat career/the Illegitimate Royal Scion career if their parent has the EU Royal career. Regardless if the other parent is noble, royal, or has no career and is technically a "peasant".

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

"Spouse's Paramour" // "Lover's Spouse"

Through the Interaction "Introduce Self to Lover's Spouse..." under the PieMenuCategory "Household", Aristocratic and Royal Sims will be "introduced" to the legally married partner of their lover...so you NEED to have set up the Paramour-Lover relationships first!

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

"Illegitimate Sibling" // "Legitimate Sibling"

Through the Interaction "Introduce Self to Sibling..." under the PieMenuCategory "Household", illegitimate scions of either the noble or royal lineages aged from child up will "introduce" themselves to the their legitimate siblings..so you NEED to have set up the Bastard relbit first!!

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

"Spouse's Bastard" // "Parent's Spouse"

Through the Interactions "Introduce Self to Parent's Spouse..." and "Introduce Self to Spouse's Bastard..."under the PieMenuCategory "Household", illegitimate scions of either the noble or royal lineages aged from child up will "introduce" themselves to the their parent's legal spouse and vice versa...so you NEED to have set up the Bastard relbit first!!

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

"Lover's Other Paramour" // "Lover's Former Other Paramour"

If a royal/noble has more than one paramour, those paramours can introduce themselves to another through the Interaction "Greet _________" under the PieMenuCategory "Household", ..so you NEED to have set up the Paramour relationships first!! In event of breakups, the "Lover's F Paramour" should be triggered for all existing paramours.

Notes

• For the relationship feature, this pack now NEEDS Lot51's Core Library. 
• CHOOSE BETWEEN THE VERSIONS IN THE OPTIONS OF PACKAGES TO DOWNLOAD: Non-Royalty Mod version vs Royalty Mod-required version. 
• If you wish to use the monarch careers with another mod like 

  Kiarasims4 Royal Family or llazyneiph's Royalty Mod which both have "royalty" or "noble" careers, I suggest you install MCCC (I think this mod automatically enables you to have multiple careers?) or download another mod that allows you to have multiple full time careers. The paramour & noble's illeg child  careers are available no matter what since they are Part Time careers.

• The “Titles” do not appear above Sims’ heads!
• Always delete the previous version before placing them in your mods folder and playing your game!
