Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy review: opulence and scandals, but little else

The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack is set in a beautiful world filled with opportunities for drama and storytelling, and a generous inclusion of older lore had the Sims 2 fan in me absolutely enraptured. However, the potential shown in these areas made other aspects of the DLC more disappointing. This DLC is definitely meant to appeal to certain styles of players — those that don’t enjoy opulent aesthetics, create generational families, or care about the concept of nobility can likely give this one a pass — but there is certainly fun to be found for some.
