Aphrodite Aspiration  

Are your sims ready to follow in Greek Goddess Aphrodite's Footsteps? This custom aspiration has four levels, each with two objectives, that focus on the taking your sim on a journey through the most well known myths regarding Aphrodite.

This aspiration works with my custom Aphrodite trait, though it is NOT required to play. It was developed to add even more game play to the trait and my plan is to create 7 Greek Traits, 7 Aspiration and run a 7 Gen Legacy challenge.

Level 4 - Divine Fruit

THE MYTH: Perhaps the most famous myth of all and saved for last. Aphrodite, Athena and Hera all gave a golden apple to Paris of Troy. He was to decide who was the fairest of the three Goddesses. Each Goddess made him a promise of different things if he chose her. In the end, Paris chose Aphrodite, who had promised him the most beautiful mortal woman in the world. This was Helen of Sparta who was rather unfortunately already married to King Menelaus of Sparta. This led to the famous Trojan War.
