my count can still do everything

[POTAT]

is this a bug or is it an intended feature?

[Yxklyx]

I believe it's intended. Only certain traits force them to follow those nobility rules - I think Conceited, maybe Greedy. I have an Ascetic Baron and he just sleeps on the floor in a barren room.

[Pizzarugi]

Oh, and here I've been thinking that it's because of a mod or something which allowed counts to continue to do everything.

I sure hope it's intentional then.

EDIT:
https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Titles

Confirmed, this is intentional. Royal guests and colonists with Greedy, Jealous, or Abrasive traits will become conceited and have greater demands, including not doing any work.

It's baffling how this rumor of nobles can't do any work persists when it was patched out only weeks after Royalty launched.

Well, Empire nobles often won't do work but player nobles will.

To be fair, considering how conceited and entitled royal pawns become to the point they force random quests on you or risk them having mental breaks back in the early days of the Royalty DLC, people will most likely have abandoned the idea of getting titles under the assumption nothing changed for the better in that area.

After all, is having a colonist that does nothing and gets upset if you don't build them a monument worth a janissary/marine/cataphract squad summon or a handful of slightly useful psycasts?

Yeah, incredible, truly mindboggling.
Probably because when you click on a title, starting from knight/dame, there's this "Disallowed work types" at the bottom.

Now I don't know how you're supposed to parse that other than "These jobs are beneath me, get a peasant to do them."

Also this is true.

It's not explicitly mentioned anywhere outside of the wiki that this only applies to conceited nobles and you don't know what qualifies as such until you try to grant nobility to a pawn who has the traits necessary. For most players who see this, it's safe to assume these work restrictions apply regardless of any condition, so its fair if people show up asking why the restrictions aren't actually happening after all.

[Wantoomany]

I could be mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere that nobles can still do jobs they have passions in.

[Edmund Greyfox]

Player pawns do take a mood debuff for being assigned to work that's not allowed for npc nobles of the same rank. You can see it if you hover over the "supreme expectations" line on their needs related buggs/debuffs.

[Red Earth]

I really wish it would say in-game which royal demands are active or not. I shouldn't need to look at the wiki for such basic information.

[Yxklyx]

When you make them a noble you get a pop-up warning if they have one of those three traits.

Gotta get a Royal with Ascetic trait.
They dont even want the bedroom XD
