The Greek Goddesses Challenge by LJJ-Sims is a challenge based on the ancient mythical creatures and stories from Greece. I fell in love with Greek mythology in high school and have not let that love go since. In this challenge you will follow 10 deities in their journey through life. Every goddess has a different take on and goal in life. Special about this challenge?  All your kids have little challenges of their own, not only your heir. These challenges are optional, so if you feel like these are too much or just too restricting for you: by all means let them go. I also have sheets for characters that you can make before you start each generation. This gives your challenge a lot more personality and makes it frankly easier and more fun!

A little disclaimer: because I made these gods and goddesses into a legacy challenge, the relationships in the myths don’t exactly match the relationship in this challenge. There is a lot of keep it in the family in mythology, to put it lightly. And apart from the fact that you can’t do that in the Sims, I don’t really like that part. So I didn’t include it, thus the inconsistency. An example: Ares is now Hera’s stepfather instead of her son, which she conceived with her brother  and husband Zeus. This inconsistency can also be found in the stories. It’s just based on and not copied exactly, as Sims live lives that are a lot shorter than those of immortal gods. And it takes a way from the creativity if we just copy the myths. Even if we wanted to do that, it’s quite hard, as every myths has its fair share of variations and some are just completely different stories.

I use the MCCC-mod to alter the length of life states. You can find the days-years ratio here: the boring stuff.

Could you please expand the challenge?

Hi! Thank you for your question. What do you mean by expanding? Would you like more generations? Of more challenge for each generation? I would look into the first one, but I don't know if I'll have time for it :) Please let me know your suggestions and what you would like to see!

I just wanted to say that this challenge is absolutely amazing. I’m on Hera’s generation and it’s going about as well as it can possibly go. I’ve been enjoying every single moment of the challenge and I can’t wait to get to the rest of the generations.

That is so kind! So glad you enjoy it☺️

Gaia Photo album Half way :)

Hii! Back from being gone ;) I decided on a whim to make a photo album for my generation challenge as I go through them :) At first I wanted to take you along for the ride step by step, but I forgot to take pictures so I don't have much and don't remember everything, so I thought this was a fun way to see the way my legacy looks. I'm thinking of making one for every goddess and some of the siblings, so stay tuned!

So, if you want to see it too, here you go! Made this one with Canva for those wondering.

Gaia Progress #7: The Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge

Welcome back to the Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge! We ended last gameplay with Rhea graduating Uni and a proposal. No time to waste, let's get back into it!

So, A wedding! Our first little baby is getting married and I am so happy for her. Rhea deserves the world. Everyone she and Adonis love were there and present. The family even carried little infant Aurora to the wedding. It was a beautiful day.

Vows were exchanged, hearts finally bound by law. Everyone had a great time.

They ended the night and wedding by watching the fireworks. Off to a happy life!

They moved in together to a little cottage in Willow Creek, close to their Family members. And little Aurora became a toddler! Look at this cutiepie. I'm a little sad I'll never get to play with Rhea and Co again, but I know they will come around and visit from time to time and I can't wait to see their family grow.

Mama Gaia met up with Rhea a few days after the wedding with her own little surprise: Gaia is pregnant! Yes, the final two are growing in her belly and will join us soon. Can't wait to meet them :)

Gaia Progress #6: The Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge

Hiii! Here with another update on Gaia and Co :) Let's get into it!

We started this week with a little girl growing up a bit! I was so not ready to see my little prankster become a teen, because I love her little sassy self so much. But I think it safe to say that Phoebe can never be anything but amazing. Look at this girl! I'm sure she will surprise and entertain us as a teen as well.

The same day, it was New Years Eve! How far we have come. A day for new beginnings, for everyone in this family. Everyone enjoyed their time.

But Rhea enjoyed her time most of all, because she can finally say she is about to be married! Adonis popped the question in front of her family, whom she loves so much. And our little one of course said yes.

Look at our girl finishing her thesis before she gets married! She is now officially a psychology graduate. And all that while looking after an infant.

Luckily she has a loving family who help her at every chance they get. When Rhea is busy studying, Phoebe is more than happy to entertain Aurora. Such cuties.

Next time a wedding! Stay tuned!

Gaia Progress #5: The Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge

Sulsul! I'm back again! Grab a cup of tea, sit down and enjoy the shenanigans my sims have been up to last week

If you remember, Rhea gave birth to little Aurora. Look at this little bean! Rhea's bedroom had to be renovated a bit, but they can both happily live there now.

And like other years, when it's winter we celebrate Winterfest! One of the last family gatherings as a Khaos family. One of the rare occasions all of the kids get along well. Even Crius liked it!

And as luck would have it, it was also Gaia's birthday! Finally 40. And everyone, including extended family, celebrated along

Crius and Jordan got a little (too, if you ask 'Dite) cozy in the kitchen as Crius asked Jordan, officially, to be his girlfriend. You just know they will be the most succesful couple in town.

On this episode of dramatic kids: Aphrodite and Phoebe both lost another tooth. 'Dite really feels sorry for herself.

More Happy News! Just two days after Gaia, Rhea turned into a Young Adult! Happy Birthday Little one.

And whats better than celebrating with a little infant? Luckily, Aurora was ready to do her part and grew a little as well.

And, like the challenge states, that meant that Gaia was free to leave Ouranos. And after At 41 when Ouranos once again starts yelling at her for kissing Pontus and keeping him as a friend, she asks him who he had an affair with. It turns out Ouranos had 3 affairs though their relationship. She decides enough is enough and divorces him. She becomes Gaia Kosmos once again. Pontus comes by to check on her and she kisses him again, asking him to please forgive her for not choosing him before. She asks him to be her romantic partner and he says yes. It feels a bit quick, even for these gods. So they decide to take it easy.

Let's end on a happier note. Rhea finally officially met her in laws (or: Adonis' siblings and mother). They got along amazingly, especially mother Nysa and Rhea. Aurora thought it was all a little scary and was a little fussy, but apart from that, everything went swimmingly!

Gaia Progress #4: The Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge

Hii! Here with an update on Gaia and her fam. As you can see a lot has happened, let's dive into it!

Gaia told Aitna about Ouranos' cheating and told her about the kiss with Pontus. Aitna told her to just divorce Ouranos, but Gaia feels like she can't do that. She did something wrong as well, after all. And what about her kids? What happens to them if they divorce?

Gaia, now 39, took some pictures of Rhea, 17, in her 2nd trimester. To remember how it was to be pregnant and to be so beautiful as a mama. She says she wished Ouranos had taken a few of her when she was pregnant with Rhea, to remember how she looked then.

Meanwhile these two 9-year-old dramaqueens made their friendship one of two besties. Look at these cuties.

Gaia and Charissa took Adonis and Rhea to the humor and Hijinks festival, to celebrate their pregnancy and love. They loved seeing the fireworks (not. they didn't work :(). Gaia gave Rhea some money to go to parenthood classes and buy some things for her baby.

The next day, they celebrated Crius' birthday. Our little sad boy became a slightly older sad boy. Look at him, just like his father. Wonder if he'll do some of the same stupid things. As a teen, his father becomes instantly more accepting of him. A feeling Crius now craves and will start to fight for. He got the woohoo and responsibility talk for his birthday from his father. Ouranos didn't want another embarassing teenpregnancy in his family. Luckily, Crius is not one to dissapoint.

And he thought, handsome face, woohoo talk and a crush that is waiting for me? Let me call Jordan and let me ask her on a date. And like-minded Jordan said yes. Here is the result. Little babies, hope they can find happiness together.

When we came back home, it turned out Rhea had been in Labour this whole time. Gaia raced her to the hospital and with the expert care of her collegues, Rhea gave birth to little Aurora Ouraea.

Gaia Progress #3: The Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge

Guess who's back, back again. The Khaos family is back and better than before! Let's catch up with them :)

First off: I bought the growing together pack. And apart from the dynamics, which I LOVE, it also brought me the diamond that is Phoebe losing her first tooth. Look at this dramaqueen getting ready to tell all her friends how she just pulled it out like nothing happend. When in reality, she was so not cool about it hahaha. Love her

Gaia went on a well deserved outing with her friends, Aitna, Pontus and Charissa. They had the most fun time and ended up in a bar in Windenburg. With a few drinks down, Pontus and Gaia really couldn't help their looks anymore, making it painfully obvious to their friends that they were falling for each other.

And Gaia, following her drunk instinct, thought it would be a good idea to kiss him. Which a drunk Pontus definitely didn't mind. And as more drunken endevours end, it ended in a kissingsession. Don't know how long it lasted, but when I turned Aitna and Charissa had gone home hahaha. Rude awakening for the both of them, who hurried home, too.

Feeling guilty and ashamed, Gaia returned home, ready to tell her husband and apologise. But, that guilt immediately dissapeared when she caught him in bed with Bess. A furious Gaia could only yell at him. She stormed off downstairs and yelled Bess out of her house.

Where she ran into Rhea, who had news. You remember she fell in love and started dating Adonis at 15? Well, sometimes kissing leads to more and our little Rhea, age 16, had just found out she was pregnant when Gaia stormed downstairs. Gaia first started yelling, but then looked at her little girl and saw so much of herself reflected in those green eyes, that she softened immediately and promised to support her and her baby any way she could. Ouranos, being himself, was a lot less supportive and Rhea got an enormous solding session.

Her boyfriend, listening to the conversation, went to his mother to get her ring. He promised himself to Rhea the next day, promising to always be there for her when her father would not. Through thick and thin. Which of course was a glitch in the game so I couldn't capture it..

Shocking revelations aside, life goes on. And so memorial day came around. Gaia went to Chronos' grave with her kids. Ouranos went in the morning, alone.

What are you using to make the family tree attached?

I'm using simstree! I will put the link down below. I have the free version, with which you can make 1 tree (or dynasty as they call it). The paid version has a lot of cool other features, but I feel if you don't want to make many legacies into trees the free version is good enough. Might buy the subscription to give them little galleries though :) Have fun!

Gaia Progress #2: The Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge

Hii! Here I am again, with another update on Gaia & Co. Let's pick up where we left off! Gaia getting more and more annoyed with her husband Ouranos..

First off: we had a few birthdays! Rhea turned into a teen and Aphrodite has finally become a child (no toddlers!! YAY). As you can see, Aphrodite is already getting into the sassy self she will become, and Rhea is sweet as ever.

One of the first tasks Aphrodite (I call her Dite most of the time) has to do, is become friends with the Leimones quadruplets. And luckily she gets along amazingly with Peitho, the eldest. They become vast friends and soon the other three, Algaea, Thalia and Euphrosyne join in the fun. They start a club. In the mean time, Dite starts a simtube channel, doing little vlogs and giving sims fashiontips.

Little Rhea going to highschool and all! And with teenhood, there comes feelings.. And childhood bestfriend Adonis is suddenly a lot more handsome then our little Rhea thought. But as teens do, they are afraid to tell each other. So after more than a year yearning and covertly flirting, at age 15 Rhea makes a move. And what do you know, Adonis had been crusing on her as well! I love it when it all works out. Nothing can go wrong with young love, right?

Meanwhile, Gaia is getiing into more and more fights with Ouranos about his absent and sometimes downright abusive parenting. He thinks it's ridiculous he should cut them so much slack. Gaia starts to fear he is having an affair, which he keeps denying. Spoiler: He is having multiple affairs.

Luckily, there is.. friendship? I guess? Well, for now, it is just that. For Gaia at least. A shoulder to cry on, someone who is always there for you, someone who loves your kids as if they were his own. And for Pontus.. Well, let's just say he didn't see many stars during this stargazing session.

Meanwhile Phoebe is living her life like the icon that she is. I laughed so hard at these selfies. She is such a sassy little bean.

And Crius, bless his heart, is living his worst life. Is he the one responsible for it? Maybe. He keeps picking fights with Phoebe, because he is afraid she will be better than him. His want is now becoming her enemy. He is ready to throw hands. He has started fighting with Rhea and Dite too, so he feels a bit lonely at home.

I will be back soon, because these sims are about to create tea generations to come will talk about.
