I have a different concept of Hades, actually. He´s certainly less destructive and hot-headed than Zeus and though he did abduct Persephone, Zeus slaughtered both his nurse and his lover to make an armor respectively shield from them - that´s a different level of mistreatment. But Zeus is venerated and Hades despised
Hades deems me more a stern bureaucrat than a cruel person. He´ll kill you because he got an order, not because he enjoys it - but that doesn´t make you less dead, unfortunately. Of the three sons of Kronos Hades didn´t get a weapon, but an utility item (his invisibility cap), so he might be more a tactician than a fighter. This would probably translate to Lazy and Bookworm in The Sims. Lazy could also represent frail health, after all, Hades has been digested quite a long time, before little brother Zeus came to the rescue
Also as Kronos´ firstborn Hades might be more believeably after Zeus´ job, not Grim´s. I had some of the greek gods in my
Shepard Legacy and Grim Reaper was no other than Charon, that is, a mere subordinate of Hades´.
Spontanously I´d give the brothers those traits:
Zeus - Hot-headed, Evil, Snob, Ambitious, Non-commital, Athletic, Romantic, Loves the Outdoors
Hades - Neat, Loner, Perfectionist, Bookworm, Lazy, Gloomy, reward trait from the collector aspiration (he knows where the treasures of the earth are), probably squeamish
Poseidon - don´t know him enough
The question is, how closely do you want your sims to resemble the mythological characters? Sometimes a good old stereotype is more entertaining than an in-depth analysis
