The portraits have been inspected, the succession law is sealed, and somebody has finally remembered to ask the future spouses what they think. Expanded Royals v0.8.0 introduces the first playable *Formal Dynastic Introduction* system.

Expanded Royals does not replace the Noble career or the official Royalty & Legacy Dynasty system. It adds another layer around them: succession rules, arranged matches, magical bloodlines, ambitious court officers, wounded claimants, and relatives who can turn one polite gathering into an emergency.

In this beta, a Dynasty Head, appointed Matchmaker, or the Dynasty's Hand can select an eligible member or a Dynastic match of their family and evaluate an outside candidate. Matches use a transparent score out of 100, including the candidate's claim, Dynasty prestige, alliance value, occult bloodline, compatibility, rank, wealth, scandals, and secrets.

Once a proposed meeting is approved, the Dynasty Head can host a formal introduction. The event opens at 50/100 and includes twenty-two interactions. Present the proposal, negotiate an alliance, praise the other Dynasty, investigate their reputation, boast about the bloodline, threaten political consequences, or—if subtlety has completely left the building—sabotage the entire affair.

The proposed couple can admit genuine interest, accept marriage as their duty, confess that they want no part of it, promise to honor the arrangement, secretly ask for help escaping, or plan an elopement. Their choices matter: a visibly resistant future spouse can drag even an impressive political match down to Bronze.

Meeting results

- *Bronze — A Necessary Misery: useful to the Dynasties, miserable for at least one future spouse.

- *Silver — Duty Accepted: the couple accepts the arrangement without joy or open rebellion.

- *Gold — A Promising Union: both Sims are interested and the meeting earns at least 75/100.

The result records either a willing or duty-bound betrothal. It does not perform the wedding automatically.

The wider beta also includes six succession laws, official Heirs at any age, rank- and prestige-based family reactions, claimant support, succession-crisis foundations, Dynasty Matchmakers, and the Dynasty's Hand—who can faithfully strengthen the throne or become influential enough to consider taking it.

Required

- Royalty & Legacy Pack

- XML Injector

install the pair together, delete localthumbcache.package, and please use a backed-up save. This is a gameplay beta: the introduction is not yet a Calendar event, its live score resets if the game is reloaded in the middle of it, and portrait/Simology UI behavior may vary with game patches.
