How To Become Ruler In The Sims 4: Royalty And Legacy

How To Become Ruler In The Sims 4: Royalty And Legacy https://ift.tt/LhNmoOZ The newest expansion for The Sims 4 , Royalty and Legacy, introduces some major new wrinkles to the way this digital world works. The main one is that your Sims can now become ruler of the city they live in and start a dynasty that can solidify the family's power for generations. Since the Royalty and Legacy expansion is fueled by pretty much entirely new mechanics, it's not actually that obvious how to get started on the road to power. But that's what we're here for.
