The Greek Gods Legacy: A legacy challenge for the Sims 4
This is a 10 generation legacy challenge I thought about randomly one day remembering my childhood hyperfixation on Greek mythology. There are a few legacy challenges based around this concept already out there but I wanted to create my own! Some other versions of this challenge can be found here and here. Please check out these other challenges & find one you enjoy if my rendition isn't for you. Thank you & any helpful feedback would be appreciated!
BASIC RULES:
Cheats are allowed, play how you like to play!
Each generation is given a few colors that you can use as their color scheme, but it is totally optional. The traits, career, aspiration & skills listed under each generation are not optional & must be assigned & completed fully in order to move on to the next generation
The heirs can be of any gender, but I would recommend naming them the exact names of the gods/goddesses they are based after. I have tried to make the rules for each generation as genderless as possible so you can freely pick what gender you prefer to play with
There are 2 generations with 2 heir options: simply pick one of the heirs to play with & only focus on the requirements for the heir you chose, even if the other option is in your active household
Feel free to change any aspect of the challenge that you want to! Don't have a certain pack mentioned in multiple generations? Just skip those rules or substitute them with whatever you want & have fun with it!
