Greek Gods wouldn't make much sense in the sims world. Pass.

Ancient Greece had a thing for those old gods, a few tales told like Charybdis and Scylla which has given rise to the modern "rock and hard place" meaning. Odyssey told a tale of king Odysseus's apparent death and his journey back home, he finds allies as he overcomes challenges ahead of him and kills all these men looking to claim his wife after they hear of this apparent death, that poem is one of the most important stories in human history though.

it would seem fitting to celebrate our historical past as much as where our future goes. but yeah, EA could do an imitation of their own and leave enough clues as to what it points to without it adding any religious significance to it.

I read the Oddesy and King Odysseus never did die. He just was away from his home for 20 entire years. 10 years in a war (The Illiad) and another 10 years trying to get home (mostly because he annoyed a particular Cyclopes Polyphemus). It only some people (ie Penople's 109 suitors) just assumed he was dead because its taken awhile for him to get home. I kind of like this greek hero, because he and (the earlier jerk hero Theseus) are the only two Greek heroes NOT directly related to a God. (Even though some soruces say his grandfather is Hermes-but not in anything I read)

Isn't there a Sim named "Aine" somewhere in this the new ROM pack? She is of Irish Mythology and has most recently been associated with being the Queen of Fae, but I guess that depends on which of version of her myth you go with.

Yes she is! In the ROM trailer. Strangely enough, my middle name is also Aine.
I had no idea it had roots in Fae mythology till you said so. Fascinating.
Wikipedia descriped her as: 'Reputedly the most powerful fairy in Ulster'

So I suppose I can say 'Most powerful fairy in Ulster' IS my middle name... reputedly.

awesome possum! that's way cool!

It would be cool to see more magical states your sim could be, I mean I miss having genies and fairies and werewolves. So far they've only given us back spellcasters, vampires and mermaids. As a side note I ended up adding a few gods to my game, most of the greek pantheon, some japanese, few egyptians. If they don't give us actual life states perhaps even just clothing or masks we could wear would be nice.

Yesssssssssss

I would like to see dragons; any kind. Big ones, preferably. Okay, maybe not super big, as that would be inconvenient for certain lots; maybe baby dragons are fine... Maybe there's a dragon cave somewhere in which you CAN meet a huge, adult dragon, though.

And fairies. Especially the dangerous folklore ones. Yes please!
Sylvan Glade already KINDA has fairies, whatwith all the glowy red eyes in the bushes, the fairy circle, the sparkles moving around, the giggles... would be cool to just expand on that, and add fairies as an actual occult. A pack that updates Sylvan Glade; perhaps it adds another portal to an actual fairy neighborhood, which unlocks as a selectable world once you enter it.

Honestly, that's what I would've liked with the Magic Realm too, but nah, it's a "hidden" world, there's just one lot, and the portal is easily accessible out there in the open.

I definitely need werewolves to return as well!

Also, centaurs, yes please -- dare I say I want to combine them with aliens? I want to create proper andalites. Maybe we could choose between different types of bodies; Horse centaur, deer centaur, or even something wild, like spider centaur??
I feel like centaurs would have a lot more routing issues, though. And they cannot sleep in human beds. They might have to sleep and do their business the way horses do. Still, I want them.

I'd also like to have something like TS3 Dragon Valley again?
That was a cool world with a great aesthetic.

Wow, I'm rambling.

Anyway, just, yes, I'd love a mythology-themed expansion pack.
Maybe it's like TS3 Supernatural, since some of these seem like minor occults who don't have a lot of detail, like elves; they're basically just pointy-eared people with really long lifespans, right? Sounds easy enough to implement.

I would love a mythical world full of fairies, dragons and magical creatures. Something like the world in Maleficent would be nice.

We need a time travel to the past eras with livable lots, hairstyles, hats, accessories, clothing, traits, skills, careers, aspirations & historical related communication NO CELLPHONES.

I love mythology

I just love fantasy stories with mythical creatures. I know we already have vampires and mermaids, but I would love a pack based on Greco-Roman mythology with fawn and satyr sims or (dare I be so bold) centaur sims. It would be nice to have the ancient clothing too, like togas.

You'd also be looking at Phoenicians, Etruscans and Gauls in that as well. It all comes as a sort of package deal. Hellenic soldiers with their bronze armour and skirt combo, thick bronze shield with a wooden back, strapped to the soldiers arm, a big long wooden stick with a sharp metal point on the end and their characteristic Corinthian and Chalcidian helmets to top it all off. Now imagine a historical reenactment coming to town one a year with locals wearing that stuff, getting into mock fights to tell a tale.

you'd get your entertainments worth out of it if nothing else.
