Regency Romance

From JaneSimsten:

Regency Romance is a mod that simulates Regency-era social dynamics and introduces new historical gameplay options.  Inspired by the popular Bridgerton Netflix series, your Sims can learn the new etiquette skill, host balls, purchase or inherit grand estates, endure or evade scandals, and even find themselves in Lady Whistledown's gossip papers.

CORE FEATURES:

Two New Aspirations

The "Truly Accomplished" aspiration takes inspiration from Darcy and Bingley's conversation about what makes a person "truly accomplished".

The "Reformed Rake" aspiration is inspired by the character arcs of the male leads in the first two seasons of Bridgerton, and asks that a Sim explore romantically until finally finding their soulmate.

Three New Careers

Sims may now join the Military as an Enlistee, Army Officer, or Naval Officer.  Unlock the Officer Tracks by purchasing an Officer's Commission on the mailbox!  Sims will be referred to by their titles in Lady Whistledown.

Sims may also become paid Servants to the upper class - start as a scullery worker, then work your way up to Housekeeper!  New animations including mending clothes and polishing silverware.

Finally, Sims of the Aristocracy may join the House of Lords career.  There are new interactions on the Parchment Paper object just for this purpose.

New Rake Trait

Rakes are lovable scoundrels and often feel flirty remembering their past exploits.  They can also perform a "Rakish Introduction", which will start new acquaintances off on a steamy footing.

New Etiquette Skill

The new etiquette skill allows you to send letters, practice your curtsy or bow, and unlock new social interactions. (Tip: This skill also helps your chances at the audience with the Queen!)

NEW: There is a paper fan which also unlocks this skill.  Choose your preferred color by purchasing one from Buy Mode.

Estates

An estate is an object that can be purchased from the mailbox.  It will give your Sim the Landed Gentry trait and will offer a daily income based on the lands leased.  Purchase improvements and maintain your estate to increase your earnings! You can also choose an heir.

Social Classes

Part of this mod is an attempt to simulate Regency Era social dynamics. Social class of this era was determined by wealth, land ownership, and parentage.

Sims will automatically be assigned a Wealth Trait (wealthy, middle class, or poor) which will determine whether or not they can be presented to the Queen.

On purchasing an estate, Sims will be given the Landed Gentry trait.  Once that estate reaches a Dignified level, Sims will join the ranks of the Aristocracy.

Learn more about social classes in the mod guide.

Ball Event

A ball operates just like any other social event, with associated goals and achievements.  Sims will autonomously ask one another to dance.

Presentation to Society and Scandal

Teens and young adults who are wealthy can make their entrance to society by being presented to the Queen.  Some lucky Sims might be named the Incomparable of the Season!

Once out in society, Sims will be subject to scandal.  Certain interactions, such as getting caught kissing or woohooing, will result in a scandal which may be mentioned in Lady Whistledown.

If only one Sim witnesses a scandal, you can ask for them to keep your secret.  The outcome will depend on the relationship with that Sim, so tread carefully!

Sims can also Duel or Duel to the Death for another Sim's honor.

Lady Whistledown's Gossip Papers

Lady Whistledown delivers juicy gossip papers three times weekly, commenting on the happenings of your Sims.

You can also read the most current Lady Whistledown at any time by purchasing a copy from the bookshelf.

Turn Lady Whistledown on or off in the config file, choose the days the paper will arrive, and choose whether or not Lady Whistledown can leak scandals that haven't been discovered yet!

Widows and Spinsters

Sims will now get a "Widow" trait if they have a deceased spouse.  During the initial mourning period of 7 days, they will get buffs from interacting with other Sims remembering their spouse or having difficulty in romance.  After the mourning period, the buffs may still occur, with less frequency. Unmarried female Sims aged Adult or Elder will get an automatic "Spinster" trait.  This makes attempting romance more difficult, and Spinsters can "Bemoan Spinsterhood" or "Give Spinsterly Advice".
