Just a Little Idea: Mythology Pack(s)

I'm not big on talking about religions due to people having there own beliefs and not wanting to start any controversy (Which I totally support regardless (I have my own beliefs) but I think it would be a nice idea to have an Expansion Pack dedicated to different religions and theologies all in one. This pack could include outfits that are dedicated to that Religion/theology. There can also be an option to pray to the deities your sims worship, and even have the to option to make altars. I am an altar girly and just thought it would be a cool idea.

Extras
- Depending on the deity, you can have certain quests and tasks to complete each day dedicated to the deity.
- Make altars as I said in the first paragraph
- Wear ceremonial outfits
- Have ceremonies and culturally appropriate food

Religions and Theologies
- Greek
- Roman
- Atheism
- Norse
- Christianity
- Buddhism
and many more (Sorry I don't really know that many, but of course all religions are exceptional and I support either way)

If you have anymore ideas for this please let me know. I love hearing/reading about other peoples insights and creativity.

Sidenote: I haven't really put much though into this as I LITERALLY just came up with this idea a few minutes before I posted this so please don't give me any hate. Please be nice and Thank you :3

    I've always been a fan of Greek Mythology. I even have an Aphrodite Venus household (Spellcaster) in my game. As well as my Hercules & Xena couple. Oh & by the way my Hercules & Xena have twins. I've been a fan of their characters since the 1990s & I so hoped that they would've gotten permanently together on their shows. However, they so get a happily ever after in my Ancient Times Game Save in the beautiful Tartosa World. <3:p;)

    This is whole reason I started this post lol. Ever since I was little I've always been fascinated with the Greek Gods for some odd reason, and even when I would stop researching about them or even thinking about them I would always find my way back to it. I'm actually getting into Greek Paganism, and also had one save file with the Greek Gods (Specifically Hades and Kore/Persephone). Once I have my CC back :( I'll be able to make them again and even possibly make a Gay Couple (Apollo and Hyacinthus). I've also looked up a God/Goddess mod/trait for sims 4 and I found a few. I Used it and it was amazing!!

    Would be nice if we could have some culture packs of some sort that would enable the player to play out more real life inspired traditions, may they be religious or not, like we have the menorah candleholder and the temple altar in Tomarang and the seasonal traditions like egg hunt and flower bunny and attend holiday celebration. Would also be nice if we could decide what events each household celebrates. I don't really care for the Greek gods but a pack inspired by Greece would be lovely. Egypt would be nice too.

    I also like Egyptian Mythology. B) However, every time I think of the Egyptian Mythology I can't help but think of Stargate SG1. Lol :D

    Didn't watch Stargate, but if they want to give a sci-fi, ancient aliens twist to it, I wouldn't mind. Apparently they never found any mummies in the pyramids and the stones were too heavy to be lifted and assembled by Egyptians. And the pyramids look more like radioactive waste storage sites than tombs for people.

    I think Religion is too much of a "hot button" topic (too controversial and too easy to create backlash and similar issues, but I think non-current mythology could be an interesting addition. By that I mean mythology that is not incorporated into current religions and is seen as fiction even within the areas that the mythology stems from. Norse, Roman/Greek, Egyptian for much.

    personally would be most interested in the Egyptian and would love an Egyptian vacation world anyways, with mummies as a life state.
    It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.

    It's a great Idea as for Mythology, my sim Sun Wukong aka The Monkey King (look at my Picture), is a pretty powerful deity in itself, he's from Chinese Mythology and he beat up his entire Pantheon, Goku from Dragon Ball is based off of Sun Wukong (his name is even a direct translation as Sun Wukong in Japanese equals Son Goku), and even then Goku right now with his Mastered Ultra Instinct is still a heavily nerfed version of the Monkey King and that's how powerful he is, he's literally a more OP version of Goku,

    My immediate thought was a vacation world your Sims could visit. That way it’s a player choice to go there and explore quests or research a deity.

    I really like the idea of some Sims researching ancient history. A new trait ‘researcher’ (or something along those lines) to boost skill when reading texts.

    I’d love to dress my Sims in togas and other ancient clothes.

    I do not want Christianity in my game. I'm sorry. I have religious trauma related to it and also the worst people of the religion are gaining power in my country. I need distance from Christianity for now. Sorry.

    If religion is ever tackled in The Sims, it'd have to be some fictional religion(s) (I think The Sims 3 Medieval did this, also there's a mod out there called "Rambunctious Religions" which uses fictional religions). Which I know is not what people want. But if the mechanics exist, I'm sure they'd be easy to mod for those who want real religions in their game.

    I'm not a fan of any type of religion being portrayed in any sim game ever. :)

    I do like myths, mysticism,and folklore :)

    Fairies should be able to make a time freeze charm just like in Disney's Sleeping Beauty where the 3 fairies did that…
