Greece pack

It's clear that some Simmers on here want a Greece themed pack, However nobody on here can decide what version of Greece should be done, Personally I would like a Greece pack to based off Ancient Greece with Occults based off of Greek Mythology like Demigods ,Centuars, Hydras, Cyclops, Saytrs, Gorgons (like Medusa) and Pegasuses.

However some Simmers want a modern Greece to place their hotels and Others want one that is a Historically Accurate version (aka No Occults), I still think that a pack based off of Greek mythology is the best way to go, if Greece is a chosen as a potential pack destination.

    @Occultmaster I'd LOVE a vacation pack focused on Greece for history and hobbies. I think we could have modern Greece and touches of ancient greece with historical places, lore, ancient traditions and some occults in nowadays so we could choose if we want to relax or get into adventures. Some ideas I had some time ago:

    • Neighborhood ideas: (Modern Greece) Santorini, Athens and cruise ship.

    • Museum gameplay: Work at museums as a museologist, guide, material analyser, archeologist, curator, painter, musician, etc.

    • Festivals: Join the recreations of the Ancient olympic games and Eleusinian/Dionysian mysteries.

    • Sports (Ancient Olympics): Javelin/Discus throw, long jump, wrestling.

    • Arts: Sculpting, tapestry weaving, pottering and playing aulo, lyre and viola (the muses instruments)

    • Occult: Minotaur

    • Curses (Special trait): Insult the gods and gain a "turn to stone" look with the Gorgon's curse (+ Cyclop's curse?)

    • CAS: Coastal grandmother fashion and ancient greek fashion

    I would love a Greek pack. I don't care for the occults, if they aren't too intrusive they could be anything, but would love a Greece inspired world like you see in the postcards, with little white houses with blue doors and windows. They could add new harvestable oranges and olives. Maybe they could expand on archaeology skill and give us scuba diving so we could explore some sunken city underwater.

    I'm not completely opposed to the presence of occults. It's just that for me, not many of them appeal to me. Of the ancient Greek ones I would like, pegasus would be the one, but that isn't happening as horses are a feature in Horse Ranch and not the game in general.

    I'd like a world that is fully fleshed out ancient Greek architecture and the like. You know, something like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, where the developers made themselves historically informed so as to create something a little more accurate (to the best of our abilities). The world would be gorgeous and we'd have much better Greek building stuff to work with.

    I also think that historical gameplay without cell phones, computers, TVs, PCs, other technology is something that a lot of people would like. I see CC made all of the time for this kind of play.

    Of course, music is also a big factor for me wanting it. The Aulos and Lyre are a famous "match-up" (for lack of a better term) of instruments in music history. It would be cool to have them.

    Now, people may find that kinda bland. I understand. Ancient Greece would have to be watered down a lot and altered to fit into the utopia of The Sims. I have no problem with that, as I'm not one for violence anyway (took a lot to get me to play AC Odyssey lol and I turned off the blood, of course!), so yeah, throw in some occults, too. I don't mind as long as they are done similarly to werewolves who don't appear in my game ever because I don't seek them out. Who knows maybe there's something I might like? I have a sim of Euterpe (one of the ancient Greek muses in mythology) and wouldn't mind making her a true deity. lol

    Here are my thoughts on a Greece themed pack
    An area inspired by Mykonos. Think white buildings, flowering trees, windmills, crystal blue waters, cafe tables next to the sea...
    Inclusion of a new skill- sailing. Boats that can accommodate 2 sims, up to 6/8 sims. Once sailing skill is high enough sims can sail to a secret area which would be secluded beach style area.
    Seals, sea turtles. Hyacinth, daffodils, orchids, ferns

    Historical area/special lot with something like the Acropolis.

    Market lot for Greece- Learn about Greek Gods or Astronomy, crafting-beading. Purchase items special to this world such as olive oils, cheeses, honey, soaps, coffee, wine.
    Inclusion of picnic baskets. Greek food (so many options of what they could include bc Greek food is amazing)
    Cooking classes?

    New skills- cheese making, pottery, sailing

    New harvestable- olives, make products from olive oil.

    A Greece pack or even just Greece-inspired world would be nice. I've seen some say they thought Tartosa was meant to be Greek but it is definitely more Italian-inspired lol. I have so many Greek builds downloaded from the gallery for my new save and I kinda made a Greek-themed neighborhood in Oasis Springs with two apartment buildings, a restaurant, and a rental home.
