Kicking off the Experiment

So to kick off the experiment we are going to be using the Kingdom Challenge posted to the sims forums some time ago to recap:

The point of this challenge is to make a themed neighborhood with a royal family, nobility, merchants, and peasants/farmers and reach 5 generations with at least one family from each category.
- To begin you must make a new neighborhood
- Make 1 King and Queen for your royal family in CAS
- Make 3 or less families that will become the Nobel class
- Make 2 or less families that will be the Merchant class
- Make 3 or less families that will be the Peasant class 

Rules for the Royal Family
- All money cheats are acceptable
- Will have a Gold Skin Tint
- You may use boolProp cheats for building their castle
- You may download a castle for the royal family is you don?t want to build one
- The first-born son of the current King and Queen will become the heir to the throne and must never move out of the house except to go to university
- The heir to the throne may only marry a Sim descendant from the royal family or the Nobel class, but they may have lovers of any class (They can marry as close a relation as the game allows)
- The heir to the throne must be the legitimate son of both the king and the queen.
- Any illegitimate children of the Queen would not be a prince/princess but could marry a non-heir Royal or Nobel
- If you have university, all royal children must attend, but they can drop out after at least completing freshman year (except for the heir to the throne, he must complete collage)
- Women of the royal family are not permitted to have a job or live alone
- Don?t forget to use any influence points that a Royal Sim gets. Members of the Royal family should be able to influence their subjects
- Children must get accepted to private school (Keep trying until you get accepted)
- Non-heir Peasants may move in as servants to cook and clean 


Rules for the Noble Class
- You may use the motherlode cheat only two times
- Blue Skin Tint
-The first-born son will be the family heir and must never move out of the house except to go to university
- Only legitimate children can become heirs
- The heirs may not marry below their status (ex. They must marry noble or royal children)
- Women are not permitted to have a job
- Children of the Noble Class are encouraged to attend university, but it is not required
- Don?t forget to use any influence points that a Noble Sim gets. Members of the Nobility should be able to influence their subjects
- You can only use one elixir of life per Sim ( For My Purposes I will not allow any Elixirs )
- Children must get accepted to private school (Keep trying until you get accepted)
- Non-heir Peasants may move in as servants to cook and clean


Rules for the Merchant Class
- You may use the motherlode cheat only one time
- Green Skin Tint
- Although the eldest son traditional becomes the heir, if the eldest becomes enemy?s with his father, any of the children may inherit their father?s house and fortune
- The heir will not have jobs, but will own Businesses or Home Businesses instead.
- The heir must never move out of the house except to go to university
- The heirs may not marry below their status
- Only single women may have jobs
- Children can only attend private school if their family has at least 5,000 available simolians in their account 

 Rules for the Peasant Class
- You may not use any cheats 
- Anyone and everyone are encouraged to have a job since they will have very little money
- Peasants may only live in Apartments or Projects
- Children of this class are not permitted to go to university since peasants did not receive much of an education.
- Since they are the lowest rank, peasants may marry anyone except royalty.
- Children are not permitted to attend private school
- The only service NPC they are allowed to hire is the nanny and the matchmaker

General Rules
- Unless otherwise specified you may not use any cheats. No mood or aspiration cheats and no hacks that alter a Sims mood, personality, aspiration etc.
-To keep all the families and classes in the same generation each family will be played for 1 Season at a time.
- Roll a dice (or pick from a hat) to determine the aspiration for teens.
-Since reliable birth control was not used in the old days, you must choose `try for baby? each time your Sims woohoo.
-Women always take the status of their husbands so make sure it is always the man who proposes
- Illegitimate children below Royalty will take on their mother's class
- Royals for my Purpose have Gold Skin tint, Nobles have a Blue Tint, Merchants Have a Green Tint, and peasants are of normal skin tones.
- NPC's are like servants so they may only marry Sims from the merchant class or lower
-You are encouraged to use custom content that fits the neighborhood theme. Pick a theme and try to make your neighborhood fit that theme as much as possible.
-Try to use only objects that fit within the theme, this means no TV?s, computers, electric guitars, etc. if you are doing a historical theme for your neighborhood. You may however use objects in the small electronics section such as fire alarms. You may also use the smallest stereo in the Royal and Nobility houses since they would have had paid musicians to play for them at dinners and parties. (If you have to have a TV, there are custom made TV?s available that look like something else, like a painting or crystal ball)
-You may not delete gravestones
-You may use all reward/aspiration objects unless stated differently. If doing a historical theme, try to hide any modern looking rewards in a basement or attic.
- Hacks and mods are allowed for the purpose of making the neighborhood more historical accurate and Hacks and/or mods that make the game easier are not permitted 


Our Kingdom will be set in a current day time line so most of the sims gear is available to them.  So this is the start of the experiment.  I will be creating the initial neighborhood and posting some photos from the first season of the Seed families.  Including names, likes, dislikes and other good stuff.  I will try to keep the story interesting.  At some point down the Line I will be creating an Anti-Royal family that will have an extreme hate towards our starting Royal family to add a bit of drama into the mix.  We shall see where this goes and I hope you enjoy the trip
