As steamy as things are between William and Kanda, I feel like they would have an oops baby. Like, they weren't PLANNING to have kids, but if it happens it happens.
Lovely weddings. William is so inspirational. Teaching us all to wait for the special (mega hot) “Kanda” in our own lives. 💗😂 Nani & Malia can literally do no wrong in my eyes. Love them & all their unproblematic ways. Now onto a long message abt Jessica 🤣🤣: On fragile friendships: I can totally see Jessica feeling like if her & Frederick breakup then maybe her “validity” with the friend group is in question? Like I can see her, like many outgoing/comic relief people, being that way to overcompensate because she actually feels really left out & is trying to “prove” her status. (Like when Kaleo was on the whole “commoners are less” thing). I don’t think she really BELIEVES that psychologically, but could be a hidden insecurity where she feels like she’s not up to the job of Queen. She may feel misunderstood since Molly Grace & AM are so close & titled/closer to the thrones in their own right. She just is struggling with low self-esteem & seeks that validation even though everyone around her actually really cares/values her. Plus not wanting to leave Sulani. So sad she & Molly Grace are on the rocks! Makes sense given how close MG is to family & that it’s realistic ppl drift apart as they grow older. Molly Grace & Jessica never came across as besties to me anyways tbh. Like I can see Molly Grace taking a very, “I think you’re cool but I’ll do anything for my brother” approach. Perhaps they grow closer as time goes on & Frederick isn’t “between” them so to speak.
Frederick and Jessica’s relationship issues reminds me of Astrid and her husband from “Crazy Rich Asians”. If you’ve never seen that movie, basically Astrid was born into wealth and she’s classy, kind, stylish, the full package. Her husband was middle class and all he had to show for his “status” was that he used to be a military soldier. Even though he has money and his own company, he’s not used to the old money of his wife Astrid’s family and feels insecure and that she had to “Marry down” to be with him. So he has an affair because in an ironic way he *wanted* Astrid to catch him and be heartbroken and upset. Because that would show to him that she isn’t perfect and she’s not above him. Astrid was really good at composing herself and didn’t let herself go or breakdown when she found out about him cheating which made him mad because like I said, in a weird subconscious way, he did it as a cry for attention. The iconic line from the final scenes of the movie was “it’s not my job to make you feel like a man.” And maybe that’s what Jessica is subconsciously feeling. She wants to feel in control of her own life so she acted against her own interest (romantically) just to subconsciously prove to herself she still has free will and she doesn’t have to force herself into the queen role if she *really* doesn’t want to? //Completely unrelated note, all of the new pre teens are SOOOO cute especially Vincent and Cambridge 🥹🥹🥹 I can’t believe they’re not babies anymore I don’t want them to grow up 😭😭😭💔
I felt a similar way about Frederick and Jessica like I thought they were cute but they always felt like a unit and I couldn’t relate to them I feel like with them breaking up we could finally get to know them both individually and then in the future we’ll see what happens. Anyways I’m so excited and obsessed with this season 💕💕💕
Jessica's definitly entitled to feel that she isn't ready. I'm not sure how old each character is,but I think the friend group is around 24-26 years old,and that's still pretty young. I feel like if her and Frederick break up,it's best and she can move on with her own life. Plus I think she loves the laid-backness of Sulani,and MG doesn't appreciate this.

I'm so happy for William and Kanda! - the happy ending they both deserve! Bubbles is like "Finally William's love life is not an issue any more!" lol AM and MG being pregnant at the same time?!?!? I SUPPORT THAT IDEA that is so cute omg! 😭 MG and Jessica loss of friendship is wild, maybe the fact therapy did not go down the way they hoped? MG might have thought it would instantly fix things and when Jessica lays down some reality and told her to leave it between herself and Fredrick MG took it personally? Maybe MG was the main one saying "y'all need couples therapy" I think that would make at least some sense... Felix and his glasses is so stinkin' cute! Jessica talking with Makai is such a great moment! Baby season is almost here, I'm ready for the cuteness! ❤
Omg what you said about bubbles made me laugh so hard😂😂😭 also omg such a good theory about MG and Jessica- that would be SO interesting and make total sense!

this episode was so great!!! even if we still had some bumps in the road but what’s a royal family episode without them right??? 1. i was rooting for fredrick and jessica and have been since forever, and i can see both sides and how their lack of communication is affecting their relationship; idk what that counselor was on tho, but maybe they really need to have a serious conversation, like the “what are we?” talk 2. it’s insane how much william has matured since he was younger, because i remember thinking how him and partying don’t go well together😭 but now he’s one of my favorite characters and i’m so happy for him and kanda!!! 3. hearing that makai is turning into an elder sooner than i thought is NOT. funny. 💔
The weddings were so lovely! ❤️ I’m so happy for all of them, I can’t believe that they’re all married now! 🥹 I’m so ready for the poll and to see what everyone thinks, I’m beginning to think that they need a temporary or permanent break because that chaotic therapy session was REVEALING and I personally don’t think they should ignore the issues and possibly get divorced later 😔 I think that Jessica needs to decide what she truly wants, and if doesn’t work with what Frederick wants and all of his responsibilities to Tartosa then they shouldn’t be together! 💔 I’m so excited for the next episode! It’s so highly anticipated for sure! 👑💗
Regarding Frederick and Jessica, sims will be neutrally attracted to eachother if you havnt chosen what things they find attractive in cas. They have to have at least a few similar interests and attractions - for example Fredick could be attracked to sims with brown hair, and Jessica sims with blond hair. You'll get the same issue with AM and Caspian in the future if they don't have some attractions set. I also play a rotation game, and I had to edit all my families in cas, after the Lovestruck pack came out, so they wouldn't be neutral or not attracted to eachother at all, and get mad at eachother and break up or divorce. Because auto break up and divorce is also a thing with the Lovestruck pack, so you might not even get to make that choise for your sims.
"You both need to learn to control yourself" Ooof, that must hurt for Frederick. I just often assumed he tried so hard to be mature, to show that he could handle responsibilities as the crown prince and future monarch, that to hear he apparently isn't controlling himself must hurt. ESPECIALLY considering he used to be friends with Kaleo who beat up Caspian. I still remember he or someone else telling him how wrong it was, because as a commoner, Caspian lawfully could not fight back. It shows a lot of knowledge of his duties and restraint, I think, that is both natural for him but also something he is conscious of. And that restraint is probably something he brings many places, especially in public now that he is an adult and his father is the same age as Amira; perhaps there was a health scare during the timeskip, or when the next monarch dies, he and Jessica have been thinking about it; would THEY be ready to just suddenly become monarch and consort, like what happened to Alice May and Caspian? As you said, things worked for them and the consort life seems to work for Caspian, but does it work for Jess? And if not, is Jess willing or able to let go of certain parts of herself, and parts of her freedom, to be with Frederick? Or on the other side, is Frederick willing to either let go of his crown prince position to be with her, or stand by her if she does not conform enough to what the role demands? Because they are not a normal couple that "only" have to think about how to be the best friend and partner for each other, they also must consider if they can be the coworker the other one needs (and not even coworker, because the consort is a lower title, so they will never be equals in that regard). After all, Bridgerton Bay as a kingdom is still young, Frederick will only be its third monarch, so on one hand, it might give them more leeway to estalish other customs and expectations before the status quo is too set in stone (how old is the kingdom now, anyway? Sixty? I hope you are planning for an event on its hundred-year-anniversary, haha), but it might also give them more pressure to be secure and steady. And then comes the question, if they are not feeling it anymore, will they publicly take a break/break up? Will the paparazzi be on them, and will they rather go through with that? There is a lot of things to consider, it will be fascinating to see what will happen! I know you are considering rewriting the councellor's lines, and I do agree some of them did not work, just wanted to give my two cents on the thoughts I had while it happened. Also gotta love how Jessica goes playful when she should be serious. Could work with her not being quite ready for the adulthood her friends are entering, so she reacts with playfullness and jokes whenever the topic gets a bit too introspective or deep for her, as if an attempt to cling to her childhood/easier time of her life, or to cling to the time when she and Frederick's relationship was easiest, clinging to what was making their relationship work, when that same playfulness seems to be creating a void between them instead.
Great episode!!!! I think that Jessica is has to find out what she wants to do before marrying anybody. I can see Fredrick and Jessica having two different views on the relationship, and you can’t marry someone who doesn’t share you view on your relationship. I was a huge shipper of their relationship, but I don’t want them to get married then regret it later on. Hopefully they’ll find themselves and what they truly want in the future. But for now, they need a break from each other to see if they are ready for the next chapter in their relationship.
So Frederick and Jessica. I love them, I really do, but both have fears they aren't telling the other. I do think the idea of them going through with marriage and possibly getting divorced later is an interesting one, but one I'm not sure how many people would subscribe to. I personally want them to stay together, but I also acknowledge that they have issues that do need to be worked on.
Well, I already said so in stream, but I always saw the potential of Jessica and Frederick but wanted to add here: I 100% support the fact to not write on something you can't relate to and don't feel you could do it justice if you're not feeling it. I will say though that as right now Frederick and Jessica are taking a bit of the front stage, I feel like we don't see Frederick's side much (though I'm very happy to see shirtless Makai OF COURSE). I would interpret the therapy session as the last straw in their communication. Frederick to me was always shy and Jessica was his token extrovert 😂 But they definitely lost that dynamic and I think Frederick has bottled things up, Jessica might no longer feel like she can speak to him either and they naturally drifted apart. Also MG was insulting Jess but I think it's more like "We had it all planned!! What are you doing?!" kind of insult, resulting in Jess feeling hurt as she doesn't feel any support. (But no offense, that would mean her friends are bad friends then 😅 it would definitely cement the fact that she doesn't want this royal life though, as she could think it's changed her friends group dynamic?) I lowkey want to see Frederick turn into someone super stern and reserved post breakup. 👀 I lowkey feel like we don't see Freddy's wrongs and we need to see it more!! 😤
My take on the Frederick/Jessica situation; they have been together so long that they never had the chance to find themselves before they found each other. Its not too often you find the person you spend forever with as a child. It DOES happen. But often times you meet as an adult-fully formed to an extent. It would make sense for the panic in Jessica now too-because they have been together so long with no change- and now all of a sudden MULTIPLE big changes are on the table- marriage, moving to another country, becoming a royal. Its a lot even for the strongest of people. Frederick doesn’t see it the same as she does but he would see his friends getting married, and, as heir, would feel the pressure to make that leap as its expected of him. I think they need time and for Jessica especially, a chance to make some hard decisions about change and what she wants.
I think the 1st time, the therapy for Frederik and Jessica didn't work, because it was a Sunday. The office might have been closed on a Sunday. I love this couple so much. I see that what they are experiencing is important. They need to take some time alone, Fred needs to talk to William, maybe (William's love life has been a rollercoster and now, he has the perfect ending with Kenda). And Jessica needs to talk to Caspian but also to King Johan (if I'm not messing up the names, Fred's dad). I remember, Johan's mother, Nina, was a commoner, and her experiences may be useful for Jessica. Jessica is in the same shoes as Nina back then. What outcome I can see for them, is learning through this. It's compromise and understanding. Jessica travelled a lot during her young years and teenage years, I know she loves Sulani, but she has always been everywhere with her friends. I think this is what she'll realise. She can still travel to Sulani, she can also take a special role in the negociation between her new kingdom and Sulani, since she is a member of the royal family of Sulani. She can attend meetings for Fred, if he can't leave the palace and do a lot of social events around the world. She is an adventurous girls, living her life in the confort zone of Sulani does not feat her personality. And Fred has to learn to let go things, less control. His royal family is the most "lay back" of the Alliance. I see, at the end, Jessica proposing to Fred, I don't know why. But I see her making a suprise for Fred.
The comment you made about William on how you should never give up despite how messy you are is so freaking funny. I'm super proud of him ngl, him and Kanda suit each other. They have this opposites attract thing going on whilst simultaneously being similar, they make so much sense that I honestly can't see them with anyone else. Nani and Malia's wedding was gorgeous too, especially since Makai gave us a treat by showing up shirtless hahahaha Regarding Frederick and Jessica, no matter how much I ship them, they should break up. I don't think it makes sense for them to stay together at this point, maybe in the future, who knows. I'm sad that Jessica is losing relationship with her friends. I guess it makes sense, William is closer to Frederick and MG is his sister, it's only natural that they'll side with him. It probably doesn't help that she's the one that did something wrong, even if it was by accident. The group has picked sides and they are not on hers, she must be feeling especially lonely. Maybe it's time for a self-discovery journey? Travelling away and taking some alone time to think. Nani is also usually the voice of reason, maybe she could aproach them for advice but I think the issue here is that she doesn't know what she wants, she just doesn't want to feel limited. It's interesting that for the therapy session Jessica was mad whilst Frederick on the other hand was just sad. I'm currently interpreting that as: 1. Him realising that this is real, the relationship is ending because he can't ignore this and therapy seemed pointless. He seems to have been carrying his insecurities for a while and is just done, shutting down and has already started mourning the relationship. 2. Jessica is mad because she wants a solution to what is troubling her but she can't find answers from others on what to do, she is frustrated and feeling angry at the situation. That's why she thought the doctor was a "quack" she didn't get what she wanted. Once again, I have written a way too long comment lol. Loved the episode!
i think it would be interesting if they have a hot and cold marriage for several years,and ultimately divorce later on. (maybe in their late 20's/early 30's)and maybe they don't produce an heir because of their not healthy marriage. also,i think jessica felt a little bit trapped. its pretty hard to reject a prince that your friends are friends/cousins with,and she didn't really have the option to leave him or speak up because she's so nervous. plus relationship wise I don't think she's very smart,her whole relationship history has been frederick only so she hasn't had much experience. if they decided to break up,I think it would take years for them to get back together(I would push it to 3-to even 7 years)and i think Frederick should keep looking. maybe he could marry a beach girl or something fun like that,or a noble girl.
This might be an unpopular opinion but I get the feeling that Jessica is neurodivergent (I dont want to give an actual diagnosis to a character) because some of her behaviors are mirrors of real life experiences I've seen. Things like the mood swings and acting out in ways you later regret are typical symptoms until you get into the patterns. Jessica has pushed away romantic and friendly relationships, sought out attention then pulled it away, and used denial tactics to protect herself ie telling Molly Grace the relationship is none of her business and that therapy is a scam. Maybe I'm reading too deep or projecting too hard, but it really does feel like Jessica has some mental struggles that arent just existential. If thats the case then she absolute deserves the time and space where she feels the safest to explore these feelings and gain a little more life experience to understand them. If that means she's not queen then so be it
I think they should break up and see if they maybe mend up their relationship or it could just be that they realize they aren’t made for each other. And it’s ok. Not all first relationships work out like we plan.
I definitely see Jessica and Fredrick breaking up.. there’s a sense of growth from both.. I honestly see Jessica marrying someone from sulani and having a “normal” life instead of all the rules of the royal life. I somewhat have a feeling Fredrick would marry someone that knows what it’s like to be a royal
I can't wait for Casmay's wedding, I know tears will be shed. I'm so excited, also I want Jessica and Fredrick to stay together and work things out, I can't imagine them not together anymore.
I am looking forward to the CasMay wedding next episode. The Tomarang wedding was very pretty. Jessica and Fredrick probably do need to take a break from their relationship to figure out what each of them want as individuals.
Jessica is afraid of future all her friends are married and engaged think she feels pressure to take next step with Fredrick she probably wands to same time she scared that don’t have time to do what she wands like career or something of her own before she becomes queen and mother
Thee struggle reminds me of Lilly and Marshall of HIMYM when Lilly broke up with Marshall because she wanted to something for her self and later got back together
I cannot wait for AM and Caspian’s wedding!!! I hope AM and MG can be pregnant at the same time!!! That would be so amazing! Bump besties! I also think the friendship between MG and Jessica going down is so sad. I think Jessica needs a sabbatical. Maybe she goes back to her roots in Selvadorada to really find out what she wants like the therapists says. Maybe she can help in an orphanage there. Maybe she is not sure what she wants because ultimately she doesn’t know where she comes from. I know being adopted can bring up a lot of trauma when big life decisions are being made. I ultimately think they should be together but I do think a little separation for them both to know who they are apart would be good because it could bring them back stronger than ever. They have been together for so long their identités have been created with the other person intertwined and it can sometimes be difficult to find themselves in the tangled mess. I also think Jessica would be an amazing queen. She is so kind and compassionate. She is a natural born leader and would do amazing things for Willow Creek. I also think Fredrick will depend on her more than they realize. I hope they find their way back together. I also hope Jessica and Molly Grace find their way back to being best friends. I’m excited to see Kaleo. I hope his title being taken and all the therapy has put a new perspective on him and that he can find peace and happiness. I don’t condone his actions but that doesn’t mean he deserves a bad life, unless that life is another volcano cannonball because that was hilarious! I do kinda want to see AM and Kaleo meeting again at some point because I want to see how much AM has grown and strengthened since the last time she saw him. Kaleo also never got the chance to apologize in person, at least a sincere apology and I think that apology would benefit both of them in the long run. Thanks again for an amazing episode Rae! You are amazing!
I'm still a propenent of divorced monarchs because omg fredrica cannot communicate. That would be an interesting plotline. They seem like the couple that don't really share their struggles, so when it appears, it feels too late. Also i think jessica is someone who is just not ready. Honestly they seem better as friends than a couple at this point lmao. Maybe they could be a queerplatonic couple?
Fred and jess remind me of me and my ex. We were bestfriends for ten years and ended up getting together and we didnt really fit together well we were better as just friends. We love each other more than anybody else but were not in love with each other if that makes sense.
I think they wouldn't break up honestly but I think Jessica and Frederick really need to get on the same page cause I don't think its a lost cause but they need to talk whether they were going to take it slow or not cause I think Frederick might either be (feeling the need to propose since Caspian, William and Malia propossed) or (really wants to get married) while Jessica probably wants to get married but got scared at the thought of being Queen and being restricted I think she might benefit from talking to Queen Sadira, Alice May or even just Makai since he's like this dad who could offer advice to her.
I really like Jess and Fredrick but it could be better if they separated. But it also would be interesting if they stayed to together and if they could make it work or if Jessica would crumble under pressure of being a future queen.
I'm pretty sure from the fear of being alone comes an extreme romance relationship decrease. I had a sim with that fear, and they and their spouse's romance was going down constantly, even to the point of becoming a red bar :c Also, about the attraction, I think it's not fair to make that a point since they have no attraction thingies picked right?, so they would of course only have neutral attraction And about the loyal trait, sometimes when removing a trait, they will still get the moodlets and the interactions, so maybe if she had the trait once? it's a bug anyway I'm very excited to see what you do with them haha! personally, I think I'd like them to be together eventually, but we'll seee ^^
I have always liked Frederick and Jessica, but it seems you might want to change that? Some of the choices like the arguments at AM and Caspians engagement party and the Cupid counseling which is not designed to improve relationships the way a mod would, are definitely ending their relationship. In the end it’s up to you, but I think they have been cute together. I’d rather see you guide a scene where they talk it out rather than let broken game mechanics end them. 💛💛💛
Ik it's hard to keep track and the Sims wouldn't care but I do think those kids would be distant cousins. (Amira and Sadira, MG's mom, were first cousins)
Okay With Fredrick and Jessica I don't think they would really break up rather try to work on things because here the thing I think that they would work on things and try to take things one step at the time however if they do break up I feel like something would go completely wrong and it would back hand in the face if they would just break up in a rage rather just say to take some time off and not have bad feelings each other Kendall and William wedding it beautiful I really love it can't believe William is getting married The new pre teens are cute especially Vincent I can't wait to see more of them The idea of MG and AM getting pregnant is really cute idea I really can't wait to AM and Caspian wedding Nani and Mealia Wedding was alos cute too I really like it Maybe the Falling out with MG and Jessica is because Jessica is angry that MG advice didn't work I feel like at this point Jessica might be starting pushing people away I can see her being more angry and stress out
As steamy as things are between William and Kanda, I feel like they would have an oops baby. Like, they weren't PLANNING to have kids, but if it happens it happens.
Can we talk about johan having a fear of being alone
Lovely weddings. William is so inspirational. Teaching us all to wait for the special (mega hot) “Kanda” in our own lives. 💗😂 Nani & Malia can literally do no wrong in my eyes. Love them & all their unproblematic ways.

I love the opening clip. Like yeah, we should 100% thank Makai for showing up shirtless 😂
Jessica's definitly entitled to feel that she isn't ready. I'm not sure how old each character is,but I think the friend group is around 24-26 years old,and that's still pretty young.

Bubbles is like "Finally William's love life is not an issue any more!" lol
AM and MG being pregnant at the same time?!?!? I SUPPORT THAT IDEA that is so cute omg! 😭
MG and Jessica loss of friendship is wild, maybe the fact therapy did not go down the way they hoped? MG might have thought it would instantly fix things and when Jessica lays down some reality and told her to leave it between herself and Fredrick MG took it personally? Maybe MG was the main one saying "y'all need couples therapy" I think that would make at least some sense...

Jessica talking with Makai is such a great moment!

this episode was so great!!! even if we still had some bumps in the road but what’s a royal family episode without them right???
1. i was rooting for fredrick and jessica and have been since forever, and i can see both sides and how their lack of communication is affecting their relationship; idk what that counselor was on tho, but maybe they really need to have a serious conversation, like the “what are we?” talk
2. it’s insane how much william has matured since he was younger, because i remember thinking how him and partying don’t go well together😭 but now he’s one of my favorite characters and i’m so happy for him and kanda!!!
3. hearing that makai is turning into an elder sooner than i thought is NOT. funny. 💔
I know I’m not excited for him to be an elder at all😭😭 and yess I felt the same about William and also Fredrica!🥲
The weddings were so lovely! ❤️ I’m so happy for all of them, I can’t believe that they’re all married now! 🥹
I’m so ready for the poll and to see what everyone thinks, I’m beginning to think that they need a temporary or permanent break because that chaotic therapy session was REVEALING and I personally don’t think they should ignore the issues and possibly get divorced later 😔 I think that Jessica needs to decide what she truly wants, and if doesn’t work with what Frederick wants and all of his responsibilities to Tartosa then they shouldn’t be together! 💔 I’m so excited for the next episode!

Thanks for your comment Em!! And so true that therapy session was so more revealing than I thought it was going to be😭

Maybeee Jessica will be kaleo s redemption story.. 👀

After all, Bridgerton Bay as a kingdom is still young, Frederick will only be its third monarch, so on one hand, it might give them more leeway to estalish other customs and expectations before the status quo is too set in stone (how old is the kingdom now, anyway? Sixty? I hope you are planning for an event on its hundred-year-anniversary, haha), but it might also give them more pressure to be secure and steady.
And then comes the question, if they are not feeling it anymore, will they publicly take a break/break up? Will the paparazzi be on them, and will they rather go through with that? There is a lot of things to consider, it will be fascinating to see what will happen!
I know you are considering rewriting the councellor's lines, and I do agree some of them did not work, just wanted to give my two cents on the thoughts I had while it happened.
Also gotta love how Jessica goes playful when she should be serious. Could work with her not being quite ready for the adulthood her friends are entering, so she reacts with playfullness and jokes whenever the topic gets a bit too introspective or deep for her, as if an attempt to cling to her childhood/easier time of her life, or to cling to the time when she and Frederick's relationship was easiest, clinging to what was making their relationship work, when that same playfulness seems to be creating a void between them instead.
Makai doing an important service for us all.
Great episode!!!! I think that Jessica is has to find out what she wants to do before marrying anybody. I can see Fredrick and Jessica having two different views on the relationship, and you can’t marry someone who doesn’t share you view on your relationship. I was a huge shipper of their relationship, but I don’t want them to get married then regret it later on. Hopefully they’ll find themselves and what they truly want in the future. But for now, they need a break from each other to see if they are ready for the next chapter in their relationship.
So Frederick and Jessica. I love them, I really do, but both have fears they aren't telling the other. I do think the idea of them going through with marriage and possibly getting divorced later is an interesting one, but one I'm not sure how many people would subscribe to. I personally want them to stay together, but I also acknowledge that they have issues that do need to be worked on.
Well, I already said so in stream, but I always saw the potential of Jessica and Frederick but wanted to add here: I 100% support the fact to not write on something you can't relate to and don't feel you could do it justice if you're not feeling it. I will say though that as right now Frederick and Jessica are taking a bit of the front stage, I feel like we don't see Frederick's side much (though I'm very happy to see shirtless Makai OF COURSE). I would interpret the therapy session as the last straw in their communication. Frederick to me was always shy and Jessica was his token extrovert 😂 But they definitely lost that dynamic and I think Frederick has bottled things up, Jessica might no longer feel like she can speak to him either and they naturally drifted apart.
Also MG was insulting Jess but I think it's more like "We had it all planned!! What are you doing?!" kind of insult, resulting in Jess feeling hurt as she doesn't feel any support. (But no offense, that would mean her friends are bad friends then 😅 it would definitely cement the fact that she doesn't want this royal life though, as she could think it's changed her friends group dynamic?)
I lowkey want to see Frederick turn into someone super stern and reserved post breakup. 👀 I lowkey feel like we don't see Freddy's wrongs and we need to see it more!! 😤
My take on the Frederick/Jessica situation; they have been together so long that they never had the chance to find themselves before they found each other. Its not too often you find the person you spend forever with as a child. It DOES happen. But often times you meet as an adult-fully formed to an extent. It would make sense for the panic in Jessica now too-because they have been together so long with no change- and now all of a sudden MULTIPLE big changes are on the table- marriage, moving to another country, becoming a royal. Its a lot even for the strongest of people. Frederick doesn’t see it the same as she does but he would see his friends getting married, and, as heir, would feel the pressure to make that leap as its expected of him. I think they need time and for Jessica especially, a chance to make some hard decisions about change and what she wants.
Kimmy don’t be shy… show up!!!!!!
Yesssss!!!!♥️♥️♥️👏
If Maemi is close in age to Charles's twins do you think she could potentially end up with one of them?
14:24 Kanda gives a rose to the lady in red, lol 😝👀
I think the 1st time, the therapy for Frederik and Jessica didn't work, because it was a Sunday. The office might have been closed on a Sunday.
I love this couple so much. I see that what they are experiencing is important. They need to take some time alone, Fred needs to talk to William, maybe (William's love life has been a rollercoster and now, he has the perfect ending with Kenda). And Jessica needs to talk to Caspian but also to King Johan (if I'm not messing up the names, Fred's dad). I remember, Johan's mother, Nina, was a commoner, and her experiences may be useful for Jessica. Jessica is in the same shoes as Nina back then.
What outcome I can see for them, is learning through this. It's compromise and understanding. Jessica travelled a lot during her young years and teenage years, I know she loves Sulani, but she has always been everywhere with her friends. I think this is what she'll realise. She can still travel to Sulani, she can also take a special role in the negociation between her new kingdom and Sulani, since she is a member of the royal family of Sulani. She can attend meetings for Fred, if he can't leave the palace and do a lot of social events around the world. She is an adventurous girls, living her life in the confort zone of Sulani does not feat her personality. And Fred has to learn to let go things, less control. His royal family is the most "lay back" of the Alliance.
I see, at the end, Jessica proposing to Fred, I don't know why. But I see her making a suprise for Fred.
The comment you made about William on how you should never give up despite how messy you are is so freaking funny. I'm super proud of him ngl, him and Kanda suit each other. They have this opposites attract thing going on whilst simultaneously being similar, they make so much sense that I honestly can't see them with anyone else.
Nani and Malia's wedding was gorgeous too, especially since Makai gave us a treat by showing up shirtless hahahaha
Regarding Frederick and Jessica, no matter how much I ship them, they should break up. I don't think it makes sense for them to stay together at this point, maybe in the future, who knows. I'm sad that Jessica is losing relationship with her friends. I guess it makes sense, William is closer to Frederick and MG is his sister, it's only natural that they'll side with him. It probably doesn't help that she's the one that did something wrong, even if it was by accident. The group has picked sides and they are not on hers, she must be feeling especially lonely. Maybe it's time for a self-discovery journey? Travelling away and taking some alone time to think. Nani is also usually the voice of reason, maybe she could aproach them for advice but I think the issue here is that she doesn't know what she wants, she just doesn't want to feel limited. It's interesting that for the therapy session Jessica was mad whilst Frederick on the other hand was just sad. I'm currently interpreting that as:
1. Him realising that this is real, the relationship is ending because he can't ignore this and therapy seemed pointless. He seems to have been carrying his insecurities for a while and is just done, shutting down and has already started mourning the relationship.
2. Jessica is mad because she wants a solution to what is troubling her but she can't find answers from others on what to do, she is frustrated and feeling angry at the situation. That's why she thought the doctor was a "quack" she didn't get what she wanted.
Once again, I have written a way too long comment lol. Loved the episode!
i think it would be interesting if they have a hot and cold marriage for several years,and ultimately divorce later on. (maybe in their late 20's/early 30's)and maybe they don't produce an heir because of their not healthy marriage. also,i think jessica felt a little bit trapped. its pretty hard to reject a prince that your friends are friends/cousins with,and she didn't really have the option to leave him or speak up because she's so nervous. plus relationship wise I don't think she's very smart,her whole relationship history has been frederick only so she hasn't had much experience. if they decided to break up,I think it would take years for them to get back together(I would push it to 3-to even 7 years)and i think Frederick should keep looking. maybe he could marry a beach girl or something fun like that,or a noble girl.
The tea was hot for Jessica & Fredrick. The weddings were amazing!!
This might be an unpopular opinion but I get the feeling that Jessica is neurodivergent (I dont want to give an actual diagnosis to a character) because some of her behaviors are mirrors of real life experiences I've seen. Things like the mood swings and acting out in ways you later regret are typical symptoms until you get into the patterns. Jessica has pushed away romantic and friendly relationships, sought out attention then pulled it away, and used denial tactics to protect herself ie telling Molly Grace the relationship is none of her business and that therapy is a scam. Maybe I'm reading too deep or projecting too hard, but it really does feel like Jessica has some mental struggles that arent just existential. If thats the case then she absolute deserves the time and space where she feels the safest to explore these feelings and gain a little more life experience to understand them. If that means she's not queen then so be it
Also don't tease me with Kimmy and not show her, she has become my favorite ever since Amira passed
This was a great watch! I watched it with my first dinner at Uni (I moved today!)
I think they should break up and see if they maybe mend up their relationship or it could just be that they realize they aren’t made for each other. And it’s ok. Not all first relationships work out like we plan.
I hope Alice May's wedding dress is geourgous and the wedding is over all as beatuiful as her mothers.!
I definitely see Jessica and Fredrick breaking up.. there’s a sense of growth from both.. I honestly see Jessica marrying someone from sulani and having a “normal” life instead of all the rules of the royal life. I somewhat have a feeling Fredrick would marry someone that knows what it’s like to be a royal
I can't wait for Casmay's wedding, I know tears will be shed. I'm so excited, also I want Jessica and Fredrick to stay together and work things out, I can't imagine them not together anymore.
No its not a glitch. There are no glitch like that that were reported
I am looking forward to the CasMay wedding next episode. The Tomarang wedding was very pretty. Jessica and Fredrick probably do need to take a break from their relationship to figure out what each of them want as individuals.
So Proud of my Man, William!😢
Jessica is afraid of future all her friends are married and engaged think she feels pressure to take next step with Fredrick she probably wands to same time she scared that don’t have time to do what she wands like career or something of her own before she becomes queen and mother
Thee struggle reminds me of Lilly and Marshall of HIMYM when Lilly broke up with Marshall because she wanted to something for her self and later got back together
I cannot wait for AM and Caspian’s wedding!!! I hope AM and MG can be pregnant at the same time!!! That would be so amazing! Bump besties! I also think the friendship between MG and Jessica going down is so sad. I think Jessica needs a sabbatical. Maybe she goes back to her roots in Selvadorada to really find out what she wants like the therapists says. Maybe she can help in an orphanage there. Maybe she is not sure what she wants because ultimately she doesn’t know where she comes from. I know being adopted can bring up a lot of trauma when big life decisions are being made. I ultimately think they should be together but I do think a little separation for them both to know who they are apart would be good because it could bring them back stronger than ever. They have been together for so long their identités have been created with the other person intertwined and it can sometimes be difficult to find themselves in the tangled mess. I also think Jessica would be an amazing queen. She is so kind and compassionate. She is a natural born leader and would do amazing things for Willow Creek. I also think Fredrick will depend on her more than they realize. I hope they find their way back together. I also hope Jessica and Molly Grace find their way back to being best friends.
I’m excited to see Kaleo. I hope his title being taken and all the therapy has put a new perspective on him and that he can find peace and happiness. I don’t condone his actions but that doesn’t mean he deserves a bad life, unless that life is another volcano cannonball because that was hilarious! I do kinda want to see AM and Kaleo meeting again at some point because I want to see how much AM has grown and strengthened since the last time she saw him. Kaleo also never got the chance to apologize in person, at least a sincere apology and I think that apology would benefit both of them in the long run.
Thanks again for an amazing episode Rae! You are amazing!
I CAN’T WAIT for the Royal Wedding of Casmay🤩 I ship them soo hard. CASMAY SUPREMACY
I'm still a propenent of divorced monarchs because omg fredrica cannot communicate. That would be an interesting plotline. They seem like the couple that don't really share their struggles, so when it appears, it feels too late. Also i think jessica is someone who is just not ready. Honestly they seem better as friends than a couple at this point lmao. Maybe they could be a queerplatonic couple?
excited for wedding and baby season!!!
So excited for the two wedding ❤❤❤❤
Fred and jess remind me of me and my ex. We were bestfriends for ten years and ended up getting together and we didnt really fit together well we were better as just friends. We love each other more than anybody else but were not in love with each other if that makes sense.
I think they wouldn't break up honestly but I think Jessica and Frederick really need to get on the same page cause I don't think its a lost cause but they need to talk whether they were going to take it slow or not cause I think Frederick might either be (feeling the need to propose since Caspian, William and Malia propossed) or (really wants to get married) while Jessica probably wants to get married but got scared at the thought of being Queen and being restricted I think she might benefit from talking to Queen Sadira, Alice May or even just Makai since he's like this dad who could offer advice to her.
I really like Jess and Fredrick but it could be better if they separated. But it also would be interesting if they stayed to together and if they could make it work or if Jessica would crumble under pressure of being a future queen.
I'm pretty sure from the fear of being alone comes an extreme romance relationship decrease. I had a sim with that fear, and they and their spouse's romance was going down constantly, even to the point of becoming a red bar :c
Also, about the attraction, I think it's not fair to make that a point since they have no attraction thingies picked right?, so they would of course only have neutral attraction
And about the loyal trait, sometimes when removing a trait, they will still get the moodlets and the interactions, so maybe if she had the trait once? it's a bug
anyway I'm very excited to see what you do with them haha! personally, I think I'd like them to be together eventually, but we'll seee
^^
Ooo good point about the attraction! I thought we had picked those but lemme definitely double check
I have always liked Frederick and Jessica, but it seems you might want to change that? Some of the choices like the arguments at AM and Caspians engagement party and the Cupid counseling which is not designed to improve relationships the way a mod would, are definitely ending their relationship. In the end it’s up to you, but I think they have been cute together. I’d rather see you guide a scene where they talk it out rather than let broken game mechanics end them. 💛💛💛
What if Jessica stays with Frederic but doesn’t become Queen. It seems like that’s what’s freaking her out. Maybe she just remains a lady or princess?
ok hear me out Casmay baby ends up MG & Graham baby end up together, just a thought.....
Ik it's hard to keep track and the Sims wouldn't care but I do think those kids would be distant cousins.
(Amira and Sadira, MG's mom, were first cousins)
Okay With Fredrick and Jessica I don't think they would really break up rather try to work on things because here the thing I think that they would work on things and try to take things one step at the time however if they do break up I feel like something would go completely wrong and it would back hand in the face if they would just break up in a rage rather just say to take some time off and not have bad feelings each other
Kendall and William wedding it beautiful I really love it can't believe William is getting married
The new pre teens are cute especially Vincent I can't wait to see more of them
The idea of MG and AM getting pregnant is really cute idea I really can't wait to AM and Caspian wedding
Nani and Mealia Wedding was alos cute too I really like it
Maybe the Falling out with MG and Jessica is because Jessica is angry that MG advice didn't work I feel like at this point Jessica might be starting pushing people away I can see her being more angry and stress out
YEYSYSYSYSY!!!
