The Sims 4’s Greek God Legacy Challenge is wild, weird, and wonderful

The Sims 4’s Greek God Legacy Challenge

The Sims 4’s Greek God Legacy Challenge is a self-imposed Sim life goal that sees you playing through ten Sim generations, each representing a different Greek god or goddess. Playing through this challenge requires you to follow a set of rules for each generation, including specific traits and aspirations that help you represent your chosen deity.

The challenge isn’t base-game compatible, so you’ll need expansion packs like Cats and Dogs, Get to Work, and Island Living for the full experience, but the potential is staggering. Each generation has its own goals and gameplay mechanics, with the Apollo-inspired generation focusing on rising through the medical career and mastering music, while the Poseidon generation demands you become a mermaid and date multiple Sims. There are no restrictions on how you play your Sims, with the Greek God Legacy Challenge simply acting as a loose framework for you to experiment with different aspects of The Sims 4.

Sims Forum member CheetahAlyssa came up with the idea for the challenge, and the original ruleset can be found on the Sims Forums, but we’ve adapted them for you below.
