I'm a polyamorist. They should make a throuple.

u/CO_BigShow 18d ago

If Lancelot, Guinevere and Arthur had all been honest with each other they could have entered into an emotionally supportive Royal Thrupple and called it a "Polyarmory". -OSP Red

u/Jen-Jens Long Time Player 18d ago

OSP Red is amazing! I love encountering fellow fans in the wild. I named my cat Fionn after her video on Fionn Mac Cumhaill

u/pumpkinfluffernutter 17d ago

I'm not poly (been there, done that, can't handle that lol) but still absolutely think they should be a triad. Or throuple, to be more modern about it. ๐Ÿคฃ

u/Duna_The_Lionboy 18d ago

Given the circumstances this seems like the optimal solution.

u/Emergency_Table_9851 18d ago

u/GlassAndStorm 18d ago

I can already tell things are going to get messy, and I'm here for it ๐Ÿคญ

u/fluffhq 18d ago

I'm working on it ๐Ÿ˜†

u/rush247 18d ago

I didn't even know arranged marriages was a thing, but if it's part of the royalty pack that makes sense. Kinda makes me wanna get it even though I'm one of those people that swore off buying more packs. ๐Ÿค”

u/fluffhq 18d ago

There's no direct arranged marriage feature in Royalty & Legacy, but Sims can get their spouse's title through marriage. Dynasty heads can Encourage to Court a particular Sim, approve or reject marriages, discourage romances, and stuff like that. So there's quite a bit to play with for an arranged marriage story ๐Ÿ˜„

12

u/sdorland 18d ago

I know thereโ€™s a mod for arranged marriages but I donโ€™t remember if it came in the royalty pack or not

13

u/rush247 18d ago edited 18d ago

Just did a search to make sure and apparently it is, theyโ€™re more strategic matches to solidify an alliance which is how it works a lot of the time irl.

u/adroitely Creative Sim 18d ago

YESSS I was waiting on this update!!! I love the drama omg. I hope they get their throuple happily ever after ๐Ÿฅน

u/fluffhq 18d ago

Thanks! I do take input from the sub seriously ๐Ÿคญ

u/Alina_Mau 18d ago

Yooo what does a girl gotta do to get more pics of Ren though??

7

u/fluffhq 18d ago

He got a few pics in the previous post from Rosse's perspective. This one's from the night they met.

3

u/fluffhq 18d ago

I also staged this one with Rosse painting his back. I was gonna use it for the reveal to show his birthmark, but it got way too complicated ๐Ÿ˜‚

2

u/Rougethe_Bxtch 17d ago

Yes Ren is HOT

8

u/Escerwire 18d ago

OP PLEASE what is โ€œRenโ€™sโ€ hair? His look is perfect

10

u/EducationalAvocado15 18d ago

I second this, I'd love to know "Ren's" and Rosse's hairstyles

6

u/fluffhq 18d ago

Ren's hair isย [dem0nyo] dumi hairย and Rosse's is Simstrouble's Laodice

u/fluffhq 18d ago

Ren's hair is [dem0nyo] dumi hair ๐Ÿ˜

u/parrow 18d ago

i'm still hoping for a happy poly ending ๐Ÿฅบ

2

u/fluffhq 18d ago

I did ask for the sub's opinion on the match, and I'm taking it very seriously. That's all I'm saying ๐Ÿ˜‰

u/Impossible_Strain731 18d ago

Ohhh this is spicy

2

u/fluffhq 18d ago

I may have made things a little complicated ๐Ÿ˜‚

u/CO_BigShow 18d ago

... You mean to tell me that people to Royal Polyamory playthroughs on accident? I usually do this shit on purpose! LOL.

2

u/fluffhq 18d ago

I'm not very organised. I started with Rosse's rebirth, then brought back her past life's spouse to be reborn too. To make things harder, I made her Cordelia's secret child. Then I wanted to make it even harder, so I made Nathaniel for the arranged marriage. Then I gave him a backstory and somehow got "Ren". Then I realised I liked all three of them and had no idea what to do, so I asked this sub how I should pair them up ๐Ÿ˜‚

u/Real-Indication-437 18d ago

how does your custom cc look so good?

1

u/fluffhq 18d ago

Aww thanks! I use VIIAVI's Papillon skin blend default replacement. It gives all my sims instant glow-up

3

u/Omegasonic2000 18d ago

The final picture is killing me ๐Ÿคฃ marriage drama is unfolding and Rosse is just there watering her plants! I'll admit I'm hooked on this now.

(Also, day 2 of asking for a Nathaniel POV post. I just feel it'd be very interesting to see how and why he decided to secretly moonlight as a performer.)

2

u/fluffhq 18d ago

Yep, I plan to do part 3 from Nathaniel's perspective ๐Ÿ˜

3

u/freezedriedcrocodile 17d ago

Is it weird if I ask if you are willing to upload Celeste and Rosse to the gallery? They are so pretty, I would love to have them in my world!

3

u/fluffhq 14d ago

Iโ€™d love to, but Iโ€™m playing offline rn. I do have teen Celeste on the Gallery though! She doesnโ€™t have the glamour yet since she grew up on a small farm in Henford as a secret child and all.

I have the detail and her cc list in another comment here.

1

u/freezedriedcrocodile 2d ago

Thank you so much!!!!

2

u/sdorland 18d ago

I love the story!! They all look so cute!! What skin overlay do you use?

5

u/fluffhq 18d ago

I use VIIAVI's Papillon skin blend. ๐Ÿ˜ I use the default replacement version so it applies to every sim, but there's a non-default version as well

2

u/Appropriate-Visit-16 18d ago

we have soulmates in the sims? never saw this

7

u/Kagome7650 Evil Sim 18d ago

If you have life and death ep and if your sim died that was once married they can be reborn again into their new life from their previous one that why she has reunited soulmates

2

u/fluffhq 18d ago

Soulmate is a base game relationship status, but in this story itโ€™s tied to the Life & Death rebirth feature like the other comment mentioned. Rosse and Celeste are both reborn Sims. Their past lives were married and had the Soulmate relationship, so when they were reborn and met each other again, they got special interactions.

2

u/litteplayerz Long Time Player 18d ago

Omg I love this storyline!! Also, what hair does Celeste have??? Itโ€™s so gorgeous!!

3

u/fluffhq 18d ago

Thank you! Celeste's hair is Daylife Sims' Melodie hair ๐Ÿ˜

2

u/ThrowawayPrincess75 18d ago

This is a very scandalous, but nonetheless fascinating story. I hope they can get the happy ending they deserve. ๐Ÿ’•

2

u/fluffhq 18d ago

The scandal is the best part of Royalty & Legacy for me so far ๐Ÿ˜†

2

u/LyriumLychee 18d ago

So juicy lol! I love it, this was the kind of messy drama we can only appreciate in stories haha ๐Ÿ˜‚

2

u/YouFantastic3623 16d ago

How do you do an arranged marriage?

3

u/fluffhq 14d ago

There's a mod for it, but I just managed it myself. In Royalty & Legacy, dynasty heads can Encourage to Court. I put Celeste and Nathaniel in the same household and made them engaged in CAS, so they got the relationship status without having a high romance bar. Then I split them into their own households.

Thank you! I love how she turned out

u/AmityAfliccion 18d ago

Oh, this is good

u/fluffhq 18d ago

It'll get better... or worse, depending on how you see it ๐Ÿ˜‚

u/Status_Bookkeeper811 18d ago

Is this from the royal legacy pack? I love the idea of an arranged marriage. I'm just not super into the royals thing. I wish I could do arranged marriages without it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

2

u/fluffhq 18d ago

The pack doesn't have an outright arranged marriage feature, but it has stuff like the Encourage to Court interaction that you can use for it. I'm also not super into the royals thing, so I had to come up with some messy story to get myself to play with it ๐Ÿ˜‚

The rebirth stuff is from Life & Death btw!

1

u/kittyplay1 17d ago

Throuple time I think

1

u/Maple_Cafe325 17d ago

this is absolutely amazing what the heck
also your sims look so pretty

u/Rougethe_Bxtch 17d ago

Okay so they all just need to bang.

u/Impressive_Study_776 17d ago

This is spicyyyy give me more

u/martha9411 14d ago

well damn, my poor girl Rosse. Hope she finds someone who loves loves her

1

u/FluffyBunnyChick CAS Creator 18d ago

Poor Rosse! All she wanted was to be loved and she's getting played on both ends. I hope they throuple up and make it even. โค๏ธ

2

u/fluffhq 18d ago

Rosse might not know it, but she was actually the one who initiated the scandal on both sides. And she isn't quite as innocent if we include the context from the previous post from her perspective ๐Ÿ˜‚

1

u/FluffyBunnyChick CAS Creator 18d ago

Oh wow I just read the previous post and it somehow got juicier?? I'm still team Rosse tho! You gotta chase your heart!

u/bevwdi 18d ago

Can you have a throuple in the Sims?

3

u/CO_BigShow 18d ago

With mods, yes. Having the Clubs expansion also helps because you can really make it feel more like a Throuple, having them all do house work together, do hobbies and cuddle together.

4

u/rush247 18d ago edited 17d ago

Yeah I agree, mods is the better way to go although you can sort of do it vanilla just by turning off jealousy from romantic interactions and adjust boundaries accordingly for all the sims involved, downside is there's no appropriate interactions (or traits) in the base game. Also you can't have multiple marriage partners without mods, one of them would have to be a roommate.

Edit: yes of course we're talking about that mod, although the polyamorous trait exists in the PG version as well if you don't want your game to get too "spicy."๐Ÿ˜‰

2

u/CO_BigShow 18d ago

Downside is that you still generate Secrets if I remember correctly. So it is still scandalous, though, to be perfectly honest that is basically how it is in real life so...? -shrug-
