This is my idea of a greek inspired world. Because i know it would be controversial to have churches in the game, even tho it makes HUGE impact on humans lifes. The main star of the world would be t...
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.
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.

New positive trait.

Milestones:
Write or perform in an amphitheater.
Inspire 5 Sims.
Reach max Creativity skill (Painting, Writing, or Music).
Lead a Festival of the Arts.

Gameplay Tie-Ins
Blessed vs. Cursed Sims: Certain traits interact dynamically: e.g., Blessed Sims gain luck at festivals, while Cursed Sims are more prone to Hades’ interference.
Hubris Mechanic: Sims with Hubristic trait might challenge others to contests without player input, leading to drama.
Olympic Festivals: Traits influence performance—Brave Sims win duels more often, Blessed Sims get crowd cheers, Hubristic Sims might choke if they brag too soon.
