The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy expansion brings you Ondarion, a stunning Mediterranean-inspired world featuring three distinct kingdoms connected by the Emerald Sea. Whether you want to live among pirates in Verdemar, rub shoulders with aristocrats in Bellacorde, or immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Dambele, this world offers something for every playstyle. You will find palaces, hidden treasures, mythical objects, and enough drama to keep your noble Sims entertained for generations.
What Makes Ondarion Special?
Ondarion stands apart from other Sims 4 worlds thanks to its collaborative creation process. The Sims Team partnered with content creators like Plumbob Kingdom, Eva Rotky, Emerald Stories, and Studio Gabri to build the lots. They also worked with the Pan Africa Gaming Group to ensure Dambele authentically represents North and West African cultures.
The world revolves around themes of nobility, lineage, and scandal. Your Sims can climb the social ladder, engage in sword duels, discover mythical artifacts, and navigate the complex politics of royal life.
Navigating Verdemar
Verdemar draws inspiration from the Portuguese coast, including Madeira and the Azores. This kingdom celebrates a unique blend of pirate heritage and noble tradition. The neighborhood winds uphill through terraced paths, opening into communal squares before descending to a picturesque harbor.

What Can You Find in Verdemar?
The main square features Simcalibur, a legendary sword stuck in stone. Just like the King Arthur legend, your Sim can attempt to pull it free. Success grants them the title of ruler, making this a must-try activity for ambitious players.
The lighthouse at the harbor's end provides a romantic spot for proposals or stunning screenshots. Beyond it lies a secret island where treasure awaits those willing to swim or sail out to explore.
Verdemar Collectibles
You can find fishing spots behind The Lair in the Open-Air, on the dock near Fisherman's Hut, and below the lighthouse. Treasure spawns appear by the chess table near the palace, on the sea island, behind Casa do Corsário, and next to the vacant lot.
Harvestables include Parsley, Cherry, Pear, Bluebell, and Potato. Keep an eye out for searchable logs and pumps containing frogs, plus standard dig spots scattered throughout.
What Does Bellacorde Offer?
Bellacorde represents the epitome of elegance, drawing from the French Riviera, Monaco, and the Italian coast. This kingdom prioritizes class, opulence, and maintaining a spotless reputation. Gossip travels fast here, so your Sims need to watch their behavior.
Bellacorde Lots Overview
The returning Capp, Monty, and Alto families call Bellacorde home, bringing familiar drama to this new setting.
Key Locations in Bellacorde
The beach features parasol-covered sun loungers perfect for relaxation, plus royal canoes available for public use. Head inland to discover The Enchanted Mirror, which lets your Sims gaze into the future, decide their luck, or snoop for secrets about other Sims.
The sword-fighting area sits in full view of the grand ballroom at La Vivace. After a duel, grab food from the nearby stall offering pizza, pasta, and the new Panna Cotta dish. The Local Wares vendor sells rare items including unique swords, boats, harvestables, and the unpublished Writings of Cordelia Thebe.

Why Is Dambele Unique?
Dambele represents the most exciting addition according to community feedback. This kingdom fuses North and West African cultures, with fashion drawing from Nigerian, Beninese, and Togolese traditions. The architecture echoes historic Mediterranean North African cities from Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco.

Best Tips for New Players
Start by choosing a kingdom that matches your preferred playstyle. If you love adventure and treasure hunting, Verdemar suits you perfectly. For drama, romance, and high society gameplay, pick Bellacorde. If community connections and cultural richness appeal to you, Dambele delivers.
Use the sword-fighting mechanics in all three neighborhoods to build relationships (or rivalries) with other nobles. Purchase weapons from the Verdemar blacksmith, then challenge Sims anywhere in Ondarion.
Explore every corner of each neighborhood to find hidden treasure spots, rare harvestables, and unique collectibles. The secret island off Verdemar's coast contains particularly valuable loot.
