That'd be cool, but i don't know if they'd ever add religious stuff like gods. But i always imagined a statue that'd work as a channel to the gods. I also imagined that a pack on a greek-inspired world could be about hobbies, exploration or sports. 

Hobbies because of they're well know for their artistical creations like weaving, pottery, sculpting, fresco, etc. (but i can see it being explored on Egyptian world too), Exploration being kind of a greek version of Jungle Adventures but it'd bring much more mythology, like searching for monsters and mythological relics and Sports because of Olympics.

 It would be a great opportunity to add zodiac signs or astrology skill and demigods too.

That would be actually perfect! The pottery and sculpting skills is a great idea. The Olympics would be fire too, but it would probably come with lots of bugs 😬 idk

Idk about zodiac signs too... they probably won't do it bc its technically a religion

I am the Lady, Thy Watcher.  Thou shalt have no other other watchers before me.

your English is good but i'm not sure about the ideas, i won't stop you for your ideas of course but i doubt the team wants to put this in The Sims 4

i completely agree with Thornwill, we can have some kind of hobbies based on Greece

I just reminded i've made some suggestion for a pack like this before and decided to move it here to keep the thread active.

• Neighborhood ideas: (Greece) Santorini, Athens and cruise ship;
• Museum: Active work at museums as a guide, material analyser, artist (painter, musician, etc.);
• Festivals: Ifestia, Dionysia, Thargelia, Adonia;
• Sports: Foot race, Javelin/Discus throwig, Wrestling, Jumping;
• Arts: Sculpting, tapestry weaving, pottering, aulo/lyre/viola playing;
• CAS: Coastal grandmother fashion, ancient hellenistic clothes and ancient inspired fashion (+furry pants for satyrs we lost with EbN)

• Other features: Secret Society (like Eleusinian Mysteries), sailing, search for legendary monsters and Kraken/Scyla/Carybdis apparitions.

I'll second the others who've said that real-world religions are probably not going to make it into the game. In general, I feel like real-world cultures shouldn't be directly reproduced, but rather that The Sims team create something that is reminiscent of them and allows that kind of world to be played, but also feels like the Sims version of that world (i.e., not a copy of our world, but something a little off-kilter yet similar).

That said, I would very much like to see another ancient civilization incorporated into the game that we could explore and learn about. And the Greek / Roman / Mediterranean ancient cultures make a lot of sense for this. There are even some small things already in the game from other packs that could be referenced in this new pack. For example, I wonder if we would ever find an ancient building dedicated to Gluteus Maximus (referenced in two objects in the Romantic Garden Stuff Pack), who apparently was the equivalent of some kind of Roman general in this world. This is the sort of small, absurd detail that makes The Sims into what it is, so if we do go the era of antiquity in a future pack, I'd love to see it done in this sort of humorous way.

not a great idea but i jokingly asked chatgpt for a Hercules based pack (which is based on greece) and this is what it said:

Expansion Pack: The Sims 4: Mythos of Olympus

Tagline: “Live like a mortal… or a god.”

• World: A Greece-inspired world (whitewashed houses, cliffside towns, olive groves, and temples). A mix of seaside villages and mythic ruins.
• Gameplay Features:
• Divine Favor System: Sims can gain blessings or curses from gods based on actions (similar to Fame or Reputation).
• Hero’s Journey Career/Path: Train as a warrior, bard, or athlete in the style of Hercules. Complete “labors” (quests like catching mythical beasts, finding artifacts).
• Underworld Travel: Sims can descend into the Underworld through a hidden portal—either as mortals (dangerous) or with special blessings.
• Olympian Festivals: Games, theater, and competitions (foot races, discus, poetry contests).

 

Game Pack: The Sims 4: Legends & Lore

Tagline: “Where mortals meet the divine.”

• Focus: Greek mythology woven into daily Sim life.
• New Gameplay:
• Mythical NPCs: Muses (who inspire creativity boosts), Fates (random chance events), Nymphs.
• Worship & Offerings: Sims can pray or make offerings at shrines, with varying results.
• Oracle Career: Predict fortunes, hold ceremonies, or scam gullible Sims.

 

Hercules & the Hero’s Path

• Aspiration: Hero of Legends → Sims must complete “heroic labors” (quests like defeating mythical beasts, training at the gym, rescuing Sims).
• Gameplay Tie-In: A Sim like Hercules could start as a clumsy, awkward teen with the Goofball and Good traits, then train up fitness and charisma to unlock Heroic Actions (like saving a Sim from danger).
• Special Reward Trait: True Hero → boosts reputation, charisma, and fitness gains.

 

 Megara & the Deal with Hades

• Aspiration: Love & Loyalty → balance romance goals with “soul debt” to Hades.
• Gameplay:
• Sims can make “Deals with the Underworld” (trade relationship gains for debts).
• Meg’s storyline could inspire a new mechanic: Bound to the Underworld—a Sim owes favors to Hades until they’re paid off.

 

Hades & the Underworld

• NPC Role: Acts like Vlad or Guidry—pops up when Sims meddle with shrines or make bargains.
• Gameplay:
  • Sims can bargain with him: trade years of life, relationships, or simoleons for temporary boosts.
  • Hades might send Furies (special NPCs) if Sims break deals.
• Special Lot: The Underworld, with the River Styx, shades (ghost Sims wandering), and Cerberus guarding the entrance.

 

The Muses

• NPC Group: A choir of immortal Sims that occasionally appear at festivals or special events.
• Gameplay Effects: Inspire Sims with buffs: Inspired, Confident, or Playful after hearing them sing.
• Could function like bards/storytellers at amphitheater lots.

 

Zeus, Hera, and the Olympians

• Zeus (NPC): Occasionally blesses Sims with “Divine Favor” if they perform good deeds (similar to fame perks).
• Hera (NPC): More focused on family values and reputation—encourages marriage, children, and legacy.
• Mount Olympus Lot: A floating palace in the sky (like a secret hidden world similar to Sylvan Glade).

 

Phil (Trainer of Heroes)

• Role: A mentor NPC who trains Sims in fitness and charisma.
• Gameplay: Could run a “Hero Training Ground” lot (like a gym, but with unique hero challenges—obstacle courses, wrestling practice, archery).
• Aspiration Tie-In: Helps Sims progress in the Hero of Legends aspiration.

 

Pegasus

• Pet Variant: A winged horse (basically a horse with decorative wings—maybe added via a Mythic Creatures Kit).
• Can accompany heroes on adventures, boosts travel time, and gives emotional buffs when nearby.

 

Villain Storyline Option

• Sims could choose to side with Hades instead of Olympus, pursuing an aspiration like Lord of the Underworld.
• This lets them build power by corrupting Sims, gaining followers, and even taking over Olympus in a climactic event.

 

This setup would let players play through Hercules’ movie storyline in Sims form:

• Hercules starts mortal, trains with Phil, becomes a hero, falls for Meg, battles Hades, and ascends to Olympus…
• OR, you could remix the story, letting Meg dump Hercules, Hades “win,” or Pegasus become the true hero.

 

New Traits (CAS)

Blessed by the Gods

• Sims gain random Inspired, Confident, or Happy moodlets more often.
• Easier to build friendships and romance.
• Downside: Occasionally get “Hubris” debuff if they brag too much.

Cursed

• Unique interactions with Hades (he’ll offer deals more often).
• Pairs well with “Meg-style” storylines.

this is all what it said if you want some sort of a storyline

i like some of the ideas but not everything

i'd like if religious things (gods as one of them) isn't mentioned, i bet they can implement some of the things though

These ideas are excellent, thank you all for sharing! I hope we see some (if not all) of them in the game soon!
