The Olympians Legacy Challenge
28/06/2026: I added all the rules in text form other than just the graphics like it was before.
22/07/2024: I edited a few things in some of the graphics! Just a few typos and one of the goals for Apollo+Artemis was incomplete, so I fixed it!
All my life I've been fascinated by Greek Mythology and all those Gods and Goddesses. So I think it's very fitting that my first Legacy Challenge ever would be about them! I hope you guys like it and I'd be very happy if anyone does it someday. ❤️
Money cheats are okay, but try not to cheat for skills, aspiration and career since it's still supposed to be a challenge lot;
Your are NOT playing as the gods/goddesses themselves, you're playing as Sims inspired by these gods (hence why the Hera Sim is the child of the Zeus Sim when in reality they were married), so your Sim can have any name, nationality and appearance, you don't have to try to make them look like some painting you saw of that particular god for example;
Each generation has a "suggested gender" based on the gender of the god/goddess the generation represents, but if you wanna make a female Zeus Sim or a male Demeter Sim, or even a non-binary Hermes Sim, it's really up to you as long as you can complete the goals for the generation;
I understand not everybody likes to play with occults in The Sims 4, so feel free to ignore any rules related to them;
I tried to use skills, careers and goals that require lots of different packs because I thought they matched those gods better, but if you don't have a specific pack, feel free to adapt or change some of the goals to something you actually have;
If your heir becomes a kid and you can't choose any of the personality traits listed for that generation, just randomize a trait and then change it once they become a teen;
Not really a rule, but if you post your gameplay of this challenge anywhere, please tag me 'cause I'd love to see it! Also, try to use #TheOlympians or #TheOlympiansLegacyChallenge, please!

Your parent gave you an easy life, but you're not here to live in anyone's shadow. You want to be known for who you are, not who your parent was.

During a vacation to Sulani, you knew exactly where you wanted to be, so you moved to that beautiful place as soon as you became a Young Adult.

GODDESS OF THE HARVEST AND AGRICULTURE, PRESIDING OVER CROPS, GRAINS, FOOD AND EARTH'S FERTILITY.
Your parent just wanted to enjoy the beach life and have little to no responsabilities so that made you quite anxious as you grew up. You don't like to live life as it goes, you like to be in charge of every step of the way. You've always loved plants and herbs so you go to the beautiful Henford-on-Bagley live the cottage life you always dreamed of.

THE ANCIENT GREEK GODDESS ASSOCIATED WITH LOVE, LUST, BEAUTY, PLEASURE, PASSION AND PROCREATION.
Your parent was more than satisfied with the quiet life in the countryside but you always wanted out. During your teenage years your parent seemed to have noticed your growing desire for more and became quite overprotective so you had to sneak out sometimes and your good relationship deteriorated. It just got worse when you started dating people and she'd be against each one of them. When you finally leave your hometown, you two stop speaking to each other, but you don't wanna let this keep you from following your heart's desires.

THE GREEK GOD OF WAR AND COURAGE. HE EMBODIES THE PHYSICAL VALOR NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS IN WAR BUT ALSO PERSONIFY SHEER BRUTALITY AND BLOODLUST.
Your mother always said you resemble your father a lot because of your bad temper. Even as a child, you'd always be fighting some other kid because they looked at you the wrong way or said something you disagreed with. In high school, some feared you and some wanted to be you.

THE GREEK GOD OF ARTISANS, BLACKSMITHS, CARPENTERS, CRAFTSMEN, FIRE, METALLURGY, METALWORKING, SCULPTURE AND VOLCANOES.
You see yourself as very different from your parent. He was always very athletic and adventurous and you'd prefer to stay indoors. Part of it because of your disability, but also because you've always liked to learn more about the creation of things. You find real joy in making, building, and even fixing stuff. You're an introvert so it has always been hard for you to interact with people. Machines are more logical than most people, so you prefer being with them.

THE GREEK GODDESS ASSOCIATED WITH WISDOM, WARFARE AND HANDICRAFT.

THE HERALD AND MESSENGER OF THE GODS, AND THE GOD OF ROADS, COMMERCE, INVENTION, CUNNING, AND THEFT.
You were the only child of a very intelligent and serious person. But you two couldn't be more different. While your parent is an introvert who prefers to stay at home with a pile of books, you want to be out there, knowing and spreading all the gossip, making people laugh and maybe grabbing some shiny things here and there while they're too busy cackling because of your jokes. I mean, it's not like they're gonna miss it, right?

GODDESS OF THE DOMESTIC AND CIVIC HEARTH, THE HOME, SACRED AND SACRIFICIAL FIRE, VIRGINITY, FAMILY, AND THE STATE.
Your parent was never the best example of a "proper human being", but you love them anyways. You also found in yourself a lot of love for all of your half-siblings and in the end you basically keep the family together. However, even though you love and respect your parent, you secretly see them as an example of who you don't want to be. Actually, it's probably from seeing the consequences of their acts that you made a serious vow not to follow that same path.

THE GOD OF WINE-MAKING, ORCHARDS AND FRUIT, VEGETATION, FERTILITY, FESTIVITY, INSANITY, RITUAL MADNESS, RELIGIOUS ECSTASY, AND THEATRE.
Your real parent did not want you, but you were lucky to be adopted and raised by your aunt. And you surely didn't make things easy for her. Ever since you were little, you were quite the unpredictable full of energy kid. As you got older, life just got crazier with all the partying and your found love for alcohol.

GENERATION 12: APOLLO & ARTEMIS
THE TWINS. THE GOD OF ARCHERY, MUSIC AND DANCE, TRUTH AND PROPHECY, HEALING AND DISEASES, THE SUN AND LIGHT. THE GODDESS OF THE HUNT, THE WILDERNESS, WILD ANIMALS, NATURE, VEGETATION, CHILDBIRTH, CARE OF CHILDREN, AND CHASTITY.
You and your twin couldn't be more opposites. While one loves being around people, the other prefers being alone. While one wants to be known for their hardwork and amazing skills, the other grows in the shadows and is content with that. While one shines like day light, the other prefers the dark of the night. And although so different, you still feel connected and close. But will things stay the same when one hurts deeply the other?

THE GOD OF THE DEAD AND THE KING OF THE UNDERWORLD, WITH WHICH HIS NAME BECAME SYNONYMOUS.
You never liked your father. He was the reason you didn't have a mom and a happy family that you'd see only in movies. Your aunt, his twin, practically raised you and you feel more connected to her. Two loners just get each other. But still, you ache for another kind of connection. You hide in the shadows but you secretly want to be fully seen by someone. To be understood and loved in a way that you never were. But you ended up making a name for yourself in the "Underworld" (Crime world). Who would want anything to do with someone that so many call "a villain"?
