ANCIENT GREECE MOD UPDATE + NEW LEGACY CHALLENGE ( STORY MODE )
Hey, guys! First of all, thank you so much for all the support and positive feedback on my little CC pack. I’m so glad that so many of you are enjoying this mod. I also appreciate the constructive criticism I got and I took all your suggestions on what to improve very seriously, so today, I wanna bring you a little update to fix some small things here and there as well as give you some inspiration for your gameplay and even add a few new items.
New thumbnails: I wanna apologize for the inconvenience of making you guys go through all the CAS items to figure out which one is which as they were all using the same thumbnail. I’m happy to announce that this has been fixed now. Below you can redownload all the CAS items with individual thumbnails. Just replace the old files in your mods folder with the new ones.
New version of the Demeter Crown for shorter hairstyles: This has been suggested by @kiss-the-pain-away and I found it to be a nice idea. i lowered the head accessory and made it a bit smaller to fit onto short/shaved hairs and bald heads.
3 new CAS items: Demeter Crown V2 + Achilles Outfit ( preview above )
1 new functional item for the buy catalog: I edited one of @melonsloth‘s decorative townies to be functional by cloning the tuning of the future cube that came with the base game, so your Sim can now visit the Oracle and ask it questions about the future. ( Big thank you to @melonsloth for allowing me to use the mesh, all credits go to them for the original deco Sim ). Note: Please check out the tutorial here to see how the item is used.
A new challenge: I wrote my first challenge. Please tag your screenshots #pjhistorychallenge if you decide to play it!
KINGS AND HEROES CHALLENGE:
Every morning, you sail out onto the Sea to catch fish, just like your father, your grandfather and many of your ancestors before him did. You love being out on the open ocean on your small boat, completely at Poseidon’s mercy. Every morning before you leave to join the other fishermen, you make a sacrifice to the gods, asking for a good catch and a safe return home where your loving pregnant wife awaits you. Little do you know that the child she carries is not yours, but a child of Zeus himself.
Create a male and a female Sim ( they must be husband and wife ) or two female Sims ( they must be wives ) to start out your first generation. Set the lifespan to however long you want but I would recommend going with the longest one for this challenge. create a new household and make a “Zeus” Sim. Optional: If you have Island Living installed, you can give him the Sulani Mana trait by using a cheat to pass on godly powers to your next generation.
One sim must have the Angling Ace aspiration. The aspiration must be completed.
Both Sims must have the Loves Outdoors and Family-oriented traits. The third trait can be whatever you want it to be.
Have your wife become pregnant with Zeus’s baby. They can only have one baby together.
You’re allowed to have multiple children but your heir for the next generation is the child of Zeus.
Your Sims entire income must come from fishing. You’re allowed to start out with a higher fishing level and you can use cheats to level up faster.
You grew up with two loving parents by your side, supporting you on every step you took. Your parents were never wealthy but they offered you the best life they could afford with what little means they had. Your father/mother wants you to become a fisherman just like them but you’re convinced that life has so much more to offer than that. You seek adventure and you’re determined to leave your home to find your own glory like the heroes in the stories your mother always told you about. Before you leave, your mother confesses to you that your father is no other than Zeus and that she believes you’re destined for something bigger than what she can offer you. You say your farewell to your parents, sail off into an uncertain future and never return home.
Move your heir to a different world. They’re not allowed to visit their homeworld again after moving out. They also can’t interact with their parents/siblings anymore. ( If they call you, you have to ignore the calls. )

You can choose freely how your Sim will earn their money.
You never recovered from the loss of your parent at a young age. They were your hero, the person you looked up to the most in this world. Your thirst for revenge consumes you and you direct your anger towards the gods. You blame them for what happened and promise yourself to bring down Olympus and your grandfather, Zeus. You end up making a deal with Hades as you both share the same goal and he offers you immortality in return for your help to take down his brother.

Some respect you, others fear you and some call you a monster but you’re nothing like your parent was. You’re a kind hearted individual taking an interest in the art of painting and spending every moment of your day out in the sunny fields. You see beauty everywhere around you and you want to capture it.

Continue this story however you want.
This is my very first time writing a challenge but I really wanted to give it a try. As we all know, my small pack doesn’t offer all that much content and I’d figure anyone would get bored of it after 2-3 days. Maybe this challenge can help with that and keep you interested in the pack for a bit longer.
Other than that, let me know if any other issues occur.
