  1. It's play time! :-D

    [b]skyscraper241[/b]: Thanks [b]Alejandro24[/b]: It's too early for terraforming. The terraforming project is just in the beginning and we'll need many years to complete it. [b]Khai59[/b]: A domed colony will be very limited. The next Earth-like planet is outside of the Solar System and interstellar colonization is not yet available. [b]IL.[/b]: Terraforming Mars in just 1 update it just doesn't make sense
  2. It's play time! :-D

    Here is an entertaining teaser. Look at the next pictures and try to find the answer. The pictures are: And the question is this: What will be the subject of the next update? The answer, replies and more pictures are coming soon
  3. Update 30: Children of the Sun

    [b]TowerDude[/b]: Kalispera PirgoFilos and glad to see that you like it . That book looks interesting, I'll have a look if I find it. [b]turdferguson1[/b]: Thank you . Venusians are living underground, where the temperatures are low enough. [b]Alejandro24[/b]: Thanks [b]viinis[/b]: My greeting to beautiful Brazil [b]spursrule14[/b]: It's my pleasure my friend [b]Pipcard[/b]: That's true. You can get the space elevator from [url="http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/show_addon_details.php?addon_id=173"][u][b]here[/b][/u][/url]
  4. Update 30: Children of the Sun

    If you believed that Eden is a Martian story, you believed wrong. It's a space story, not only Martian. Mars is only the beginning of a giant epic story, filled with space exploration and planetary colonization. Because of this, you'll see more and more extra pictures, especially from Celestia. As about the today update, I always want to make an interplanetary update, showing planets and landscapes. So here it is, inspired by Alien Worlds, the most unique city journal. The extra pictures with the aliens were taken from Alien Wiki. Hope that you like it Check your comments for my replies Update 30: Children of the Sun "We were looking at what seemed to be a translucent oval, its interior laced with a network of almost invisible lines. Where the lines crossed there appeared to be tiny, pulsing nodes of light... What we were seeing was impossible, yet the evidence was there before our eyes. We were looking at life, where no life could exist. The eruption had hurled the thing out of its normal environment, deep down in the flaming atmosphere of the sun..." Arthur C. Clarke in his short story "From Out of the Sun" We didn't discover energy-based life on Sun yet, but maybe is not impossible. In 2060 A.D. (91 A.T.) Simkind shocked by the discovery of the Martian ecosystems, but this was only the beginning. In the next 4 years, space probes and rovers discovered that life is almost everywhere in the Solar System. Let's have a look at them. The most unique object in the Solar System is the Sun. Sun is just one of the 500.000.000.000 stars in our galaxy and it's one of the smallest stars ever found. However for us, Sun is the ultimate creator of life. Without this star, life and intelligence in the Solar System would be impossible. Sun is our father. Mercury is the smallest and the closest to the Sun planet in the Solar System. A small naked world, with a very thin atmosphere and high temperatures. The space probes and rovers proved that this planet is rich in minerals, making it a perfect mining place. Manned missions take place on Mercury as well, so colonies on this planet are coming soon. This is where we discovered the Mercurians, silicon-based single-celled organisms. They inhabit the deep craters near the north and south poles, the only places on the planet where water ice found. Hidden inside these craters, and thus unable to perform photosynthesis, Mercurians rely solely on water and minerals from the soil to live. They also have no air to breath, because their homeworld lacks an atmosphere. The shell that covers their bodies is made out of pure silicon, which, being a good thermal insulator, helps to protect the creatures from the extreme temperatures of the planet. A very simple lifeform, the Mercurian reproduces by binary fission. For many years we believed that Venus is a hot Earth-like paradise, but we believed wrong. Venus is a hell! The atmosphere is 90 times heavier that the Terran one and it's rich with CO2. The whole planet is an out-of-control greenhouse, way hotter than Mercury. Very view missions take place and only 3 Sims walked on the Venusian surface. Even this hell can support life. Venusians are small fossorial organisms native to planet Venus. They breathe oxygen and feed on sulfur compounds and other mineral and organic substances of Venus' soil. Venusians have many strong, extendable limbs with a sharp claw on the end, which they use to dig their way in the underground in search of nutrients and water. They also use these claws to avoid being carried by the strong winds when venturing on the surface. The upper part of their body is protected by a thick carapace made out of keratin, which protects the Venusian from the extreme heat and the corrosive acids of the planet's atmosphere. Because of the high concentration of sulfur compounds in the Venusian's body, the creature smells like rotten eggs. Earth is the only planet that support a large collection of lifeforms, from the humble ants to the intelligent Sims. All Sims from Earth, Moon and Mars agree that Earth is the most important planet. It's their home world, a blue oasis of life and intelligence. Million of years ago, Mars was an Earth-like world, rich of life. It was also the cradle of an ancient civilization. Today however, Mars is an cold desert that supports only a view survivors. Now Mars was colonized by a new civilization, an alien this time. Us. Let us use this planet, to establish a new society. A society based on respect and creation, without wars and governments. Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant of hydrogen and helium. In 2012, when many Sims prepared for the "end of the world", a group of asteroids crushed by the Jovian gravity. The result is the formation of an exotic ring system. Jupiter is a very dangerous place to colonise, but it's moon can be colonized. Sims visited this planet in 2057 A.D. (88 A.T.). Jovians are sac-shaped floating creatures native to the atmosphere of planet Jupiter. The strong wind fills the hollow body of the Jovian carrying it around. The creature can control its speed by contracting its body. Jovians have many large pores on the upper side of their bodies, which are used to absorb nutrients from the environment. Inside the walls of its body there is a network system similar to the circulatory system of Earth's animals, which is used to deliver nutrients to all cells in the organism. Wastes are released when the creature contracts. Saturn is an another gas giant, beloved by its rings. Those rings made by destroyed ancient moons, full with ice and water. Saturn is also too dangerous for colonization, but it has plenty of moon to colonize. And Saturn has life as well. Saturnians are small non-sapient creatures native to the atmosphere of planet Saturn. They resemble worms with insect wings. Their bodies seem to be divided in two segments, with the wings sprouting from the middle region between the two. On one end of the body there is a head sporting what appears to be a large red eye or other sense organ. On the other end there is a thin tail. There are two kinds of Saturnians living on the planet: the ones living on the poles are shorter and have much larger wings, which are used to capture solar light, in order to get energy. The wings are also used as sails, allowing the animal to be carried around by the winds. The equatorial Saturnians, on the other hand, are longer and have very small wings; otherwise their wings would be tore apart by the strong equatorial hurricanes. They get energy from symbiotic bacteria living inside their bodies. Uranus is a cold gas giant. It doesn't have the cool atmospheric formations of Jupiter and Saturn, making Uranus a little boring place. However it also has devastating storms, making this planet too dangerous for colonization as well. And there is still life here as well. Uranians are small, non-sapient, blue-colored fungoid organisms native to the atmosphere of planet Uranus. They are very simple creatures, their flat bodies acting as living sails, allowing them to be carried by the winds. Uranians are phototrophs, using sunlight to produce energy. They are eternally migrating from equatorial regions to the poles and back, searching for the places where the sunlight is more intense. They also absorb organic nutrients from the environment through their porous skin. Neptune is the last planet, a smaller gas giant. Despite the great distance from the Sun, Neptune has enough energy to supersonic winds and storms. A dangerous place to live here, if you are a Sim of course. Unless if you are a native life forms. Neptunians are fungus-like lifeforms native to the gas giant planet known as Neptune. Their appearance is reminiscent of jellyfish, but the long "tentacles" are actually root-like structures that go down for kilometers, anchoring the aliens to the denser atmosphere layers, which are rich in organic composts used as a convenient food source by the Neptunians. They reproduce by spores, much like Earth fungi. Besides nutrients, the light blue "blood" running inside the alien's stems also contains amines, substances with a very low melting point, which prevent the fluid from freezing and the stems from breaking. All the above life forms are the children of the Sun. No matter if they are advance like SimMartians or simple like the Mercurians, no matter if they life underground like the Venusians or floating like the Jovians. All of them are brothers and sisters, children of the same star. We'll visit the planets and their moons in next updates, as well as the future colonies of Simkind. Will they colonise Mercury? Are there plants for terraforming Venus? Can they built cities in the rest planets. What kind of societies they will build? What about having any relationship with the alien native creatures? Please stay tuned and don't forget to leave your comments

    Those volcanoes makes the region really alien. Great job
  6. Berate one image

    No shadows? Welcome to the most epic city ever made. It's so epic that even it's Sims called "Epics". Did I said that this city is epic?

  9. ALNILAM 4-NS1

    I can imagine some stories based on this picture. Maybe it was an alien colony that evacuated because of the stellar evolution, or the ruins of a native civilization that destroyed by a nuclear war. Keep it up
