Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge, Generation #9 Nemesis: Completed

Next up, we will call a witness in: Meet Nemesis, goddess of retribution.

Seeing how easily your father got away with cheating and hurting so many people, you decide you will make things right in the world. Together with your twin-sister and best friend, Themis, you start studying hard for that one goal: becoming a lawyer. You will protect all the innocent sims from their abusive spouses. With full confidence you embark on this journey. some say your methods are cold and heartless, but you know your heart is way purer than that of those you bring to their knees in court. Justice will be served.

Little bit explanation with the sheets: - First sheet is for describing your current generation, with the challenges you need to do each life-stage. Also, because I love the myths, a bit of mythological background. May it inspire you :) - Second sheet is the preparation sheet for this generation, with important characters for your story. It is technically optional, but I love seeing sims with a backstory in my world, so I would highly recommend it. (IN THIS CASE, ONE OF THE CHILDREN IS ON THIS SHEET AS WELL) - Third sheet is for your gens children. They all have their own little challenges if your interested in those. I try to make all of them a bit different from each other, so it doesn’t get boring. Your heir is also on this sheet, but I’ve put their challenges on their own sheets. Stay tuned for those ;) (YOUNGEST DAUGHTER, ECHO IS ON PREP SHEET) - Fourth sheet is completely optional. If you want sims with names from the myths and love making sims to see them in your world, this is for you! All with a little mythological background ofc, you know me.

Next Generation is Nike! Stay Tuned! Previous Generation was Amphitrite First Generation is Gaia

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.

I get all the information from several sites about mythology, but mostly use https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/goddesses. This is a great place to start if you want to know the myths surrounding a certain god or goddess. Wikipedia is also a friend of mine in this challenge, although I automatically doubt a lot of information that is on there. More of a book person? I absolutely adore Stephen Fry’s Mythos, which is very beginner friendly, and Nathalie Haynes Pandora’s jar. For little synopses of gods, I would recommend Greek Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook by Liv Albert.

Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge: Generation #8 Amphitrite: Completed

Following the sun to another kingdom: Meet our queen of the Sea, Amphitrite!

You love dancing around with your friends and partying with them! Being young is a gift and you take full advantage of it in the city, going out every weekend. Your friends start getting in relationships, but you are not in a hurry. You know love and family is something that comes naturally. The person you marry should feel like your best friend. You should build your home with that person. So when you meet Poseidon, you decide not to marry him when he asks you. You barely know him! But he doesn’t seem to be giving up. And giving up everything to marry someone should count for something too. Right?

Little bit explanation with the sheets: - First sheet is for describing your current generation, with the challenges you need to do each life-stage. Also, because I love the myths, a bit of mythological background. May it inspire you :) - Second sheet is the preparation sheet for this generation, with important characters for your story.

Will you do any other challenges after this one? I love the way you have done this one

Hii, thank you so much! To be honest, I am not sure.. I usually do these kind of projects when I am hyperfixating on something (this time, the Sims Challenges and Greek Mythology) and It could very well be that I will no longer be thinking about challenges after I finish it.. I once started making a savefile to post here, because I was bored of the default townies, but forgot about it after a few weeks hahaha. But who knows! I might get another obsession with a form of media and make a challenges surrounding that. Wouldn't know what it would be about though.. I have to say that Mythology is one of the very few things I know a lot about and love doing research on every now and then. You're welcome to do suggestions on a theme if you like, maybe if I like it too I can make a challenge with it :)

Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge: Generation #7 Athena: Completed

Here to fill all of your sims' lives with wisdom: Athena, goddess of Wisdom and Strategic Warfare!

You very much dislike the turbulent nature your family seems to have. Why use magic when you can use logic to solve it? Do you really have to use a spell for every minor inconvenience? You believe a strong and smart sim gets her power elsewhere. From a young age it was clear: you are a prodigy. You learn faster than your siblings and easily see how things are connected in the world. After you go to university, you move to the big city. A city full of crime and mysteries. and you are determined to make all those wrongs right. with your mind.

Little bit explanation with the sheets: - First sheet is for describing your current generation, with the challenges you need to do each life-stage. Also, because I love the myths, a bit of mythological background. May it inspire you :) - Second sheet is the preparation sheet for this generation, with important characters for your story.

Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge: Generation #6 Hecate: Complete

Ready for a bit of magic? Please meet our next generation: Hecate!

You are, like your mother, neither good nor bad. You're not evil, but you know sometimes for good to happen, you need to do bad things. You are the perfect middle of both your sisters. You have dedicated yourself to protecting those who ask you to and need it. When you and your sisters find a secret passage to a magical world, you don't need to be asked twice to participate in it! As it turns out, you and your sisters have a talent for this strange power. You and your sister Macaria decide to use this for good. But, sometimes, you do find yourself drawn to the ancient spells, which are a bit dangerous. A bit of mischief isn't evil, right? You might even be able to use these dark powers in the future!

When you were younger, your mother used to call you little Kore (maiden). a name as forgettable as your mother seems to think you are. You love her, really you do, but you wish she wouldn’t be so strict. You need to be inside the house before dark. Hell, you can’t even leave your mothers property, because she is so scared you’ll meet bad people… How are you supposed to know what you can bring the world if you can never try to become someone? You want to make a difference! So when you meet a young man standing at your mother’s fence, you take your chance and tell him to take you home. Finally free from your mother’s clutches you can finally discover the world and yourself.

Little bit explanation with the sheets in this challenge: - First sheet is for describing your current generation, with the challenges you need to do each life-stage. Also, because I love the myths, a bit of mythological background. May it inspire you :) - Second sheet is the preparation sheet for this generation, with important characters for your story.

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!

Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge: Generation #4 Demeter: Complete

The Good Goddess is also taking attendance: Demeter!

You absolutely hate the hectic place that is Del Sol Valley. You long for more nature, more peace and quiet. So when you accidentally get pregnant as a teen and your mother threatens to disown you, you decide to take matters in your own hands and move to the countryside. you have nothing there, but one of the Nymphs knows a place for you to stay. You find out that you are quite good with plants. You get by by selling your crops and make a home for you and your little baby. It will be forever you two against the world. Nothing can or will come between you two.

Little bit explanation with the sheets: - First sheet is for describing your current generation, with the challenges you need to do each life-stage. Also, because I love the myths, a bit of mythological background. May it inspire you :) - Second sheet is the preparation sheet for this generation, with important characters for your story. It is technically optional, but I love seeing sims with a backstory in my world, so I would highly recommend it. - Third sheet is for your gens children. They all have their own little challenges if your interested in those. I try to make all of them a bit different from each other, so it doesn’t get boring. Your heir is also on this sheet, but I’ve put their challenges on their own sheets. Stay tuned for those ;) - Fourth sheet is completely optional. If you want sims with names from the myths and love making sims to see them in your world, this is for you! All with a little mythological background ofc, you know me.

Next Generation is Persephone! Stay Tuned! Previous Generation was Hera First Generation is Gaia

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.

Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge: Generation #4 Demeter: Preview

Going back to our roots, the Good Goddess is here to make the world turn again. Everyone meet Demeter!

I have yet to make the other sheets, so this is a little preview. When I finish them, I will post:

World Preparation Worldfillers (if you want to have some myth-accurate Nymphs to live around Demeter) Persephone will be on her own sheet, because she will not have any siblings. Be rest assured, I absolutely adore Seph, so i will be making her generation very soon ;)

Just found out about this challenge? Don’t worry! You can get started here, with generation 1.

Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge: Generation #3 Hera: Complete

I present you, the Queen herself: Hera!

In your childhood you were constantly pestered by the press, with all the rumors surrounding your parents. And it is not nice, to be hated so much. They don't care you are legitimate, they just care that your mother is an adulteress. You decide there and then you will never be hated by the public again. You will be loved. They will know you for what you can do, and not for what your mother did. You will have the power to shut the press down. You will be famous and rich. When famous actor Zeus proposes you two get married, you accept. You will be the perfect picture for the press. Or so you thought. Turns out Zeus has the same habits your mother had, constantly sharing the bed with others. The press is shaming you once again, this time for being unable to keep your husband faithful. And you hate yourself too. You had promised yourself not to get attached like your dad did. But deep down you are , having grown to love him with the years. That hurt turns to cold anger over the years. He knows divorce is not an option for you, for you will be ruined.

Little bit explanation with the sheets: - First sheet is for describing your current generation, with the challenges you need to do each life-stage. Also, because I love the myths, a bit of mythological background. May it inspire you :) - Second sheet is the preparation sheet for this generation, with important characters for your story.
