The ‘Peasant’ trait is automatically given when you load into a low income lot! There is no need to add it in CAS or through an interaction.
It can also be cheated through the Royalty Mod pie menu.
(In order for the Peasant trait to be added to any sim (including NPCs) you must enter the lot once. If you are setting up a royal themed save, enter into every lot you want the trait to apply to - this includes middle class and gentry.)
You can find a new lot trait, ‘Peasant Home’ in your game.
You must add this if you want the Trader and Tax Collector to come each week.
Any Royal or Noble will also get an uncomfortable buff when they are on a peasant lot!
With the Peasant Home lot trait on your lot, you will enable the trader and tax collector to visit your lot each week.
The tax collector, an old man named Reginald McCrook, will announce his arrival every Friday morning. Your sim will have an interaction (under the Royalty Mod pie menu) to pay their taxes.
Taxes will cost them §100, and Reginald will take whatever money they have if they do not have the full amount!
The trader, Jacques, will come around a few times a week and your sims will have a chance to sell their crops, woodworking items and hunted meat to him. They will also be able to buy various things from Jacques.
Both Jaques and Reginald will spawn in medieval clothing.

Your peasant sims have a new rabbithole interaction to go hunting or scavenging.
This interaction can be found by clicking on them and inside the RM pie menu.
The amount of meat a sim returns from hunting with is dependent on the season, e.g. a sim will get a lot less meat in the winter compared to the summer.
The meat brought back can be used as an ingredient in meals, a great addition if you like playing with the simple living lot challenge.
Seasonal hunting loot has also been added to the previously added Nobilty Hunting rabbithole.

(REQUIRES LITTLBOWBUB’S OLDE COOKBOOK MOD)
Seasonal Hunting:
Spring:
All seasons provide a varying amount of packaged red and white meat.
Sims can also go scavenging and can find edible items & seeds.
Royals and nobles will get a disgusted moodlet when around peasants.
But Royals or Nobles with the ‘Good’ trait or ‘Beloved Monarch’ trait will get a happy buff when around peasants and then a guilty buff after being with them!
All classes of sims (except other royalty) will react to royalty when near them. Female sims will curtsy and male sims will salute.
This will only happen once every 4 hours to prevent it getting annoying.
Peasants can no longer just approach a Monarch and introduce themselves, they have a chance of success based on the Royals mood and their status.
Sims will now not be able to read by default, they will need to learn to read by using interactions:
‘Practice Reading' (Adults) You can do this by self-clicking on your illiterate sim and choosing the practice reading interaction.
Other sims with level 5 of the skill will be able to mentor them by clicking on them whilst the sim is performing the interaction.
'Practice Reading' (Children) You can buy 'Literacy Book' from any bookcase just like you can purchase homework.
Kids are able to practice reading with this book and other sims with level 4 of the literacy skill can mentor them.
They can also learn the skill at school.
Sims will gain a reward trait once they learn to read and can then teach others.
Interactions like reading books, doing anything on a computer that requires reading, reading notices, ect will be greyed out from the pie menu until your sim reaches level 5 of the new Literacy skill.
There are several new careers for adult sims and one for children/teens. Children/Teens can pursue a career in begging.
Adults can choose a new career called ‘Artisan’.
After their first promotion, they can choose which area to specialize in.
The areas include:
Blacksmith
Farrier
Cobbler
Carpenter
Locomotion Smith
Watch Maker
There is also another career for adults who have level 5 in the literacy skill, called ‘Letter Writer’.
These careers are only available for peasant sims.
Sims teen-elder now have a new skill available, pickpocketing. They can pickpocket money or food from sims (except royalty) and upon reaching level 5 of the skill, they can steal food from market stalls.
There are several new rabbitholes for your peasant sims!
Barn Raising
Religious Service (adds Lumpinous Rambunctious Religions skill)
Visit the Town Square
Visit the Tavern
Visit Butcher (provides packaged meat, costs $20)
Your peasant sims will now have to repair their shoes once a week or so, they will receive an uncomfortable buff and their shoes will disappear.
To fix them, they can visit the cobbler rabbithole.
You have the option of turning this on or off in the RM pie menu.
