Greetings All,
Well, this has been a long time coming, the release of the 2.0 version of SOLAR SINS, part of my mod 7 DEADLY SINS. SOLAR SINS is like to stars and stellar bodies what Uzii's SINS PLUS is to planets. SOLAR SINS will concentrate on all things stars and stellar related objects. SOLAR SINS will add features such as more stars to choose from, COLONIZABLE stars, with the ability to have more than one star per system, black holes, DYSON spheres, Ringworlds, new storms and nebulaes, and maybe even comets. This mod will be available both as a stand alone mod as well as part of the next release of my main mod 7 DEADLY SINS. This link for download is below:
http://files.filefront.com/Solar+Sins+207z/;11723763;/fileinfo.html
Sins 1.05 compatible.
11 New Planets - 8 from Sins Plus
6 SYSTEM stars, including a white star and a Black Hole, and each star has alternate colors and textures.
5 Colonizable Stars - Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, White (these are rare, with lots of resources)
2 fully funtional Black Holes, and yes, they will "eat" your ships!
New skybox backgrounds, including deepspace and matching nebulaes to go with the color of the stars - part of Sins Enhanced
Weapon Graphics by Bailknight, WLD, and DANMAN. Graphics are on par with lower end systems. A HIGH END version will be coming soon!
All races and gameplay same as "vanilla", as this is just a graphical and planatary body mod.
Here are some screenshots! Enjoy!
This is one custom made map, with 1 main star in the center. The rest you see are all COLONIZABLE stars. Just like in 2001 Space Odessy, "MY GOD...ITS FULL OF STARS!!!"
Here is a closeup in the same system of a "Rogue" blue star:
Here is a view in the system showing multiple stars at once:
Here is my "White Dwarf":

Hey guys,
Sorry the link is down. Filefront has been deleting my files without my knowledge. I will get it rehosted ASAP.
Thanks for your understanding.
DANMAN
Hey Danman,
GREAT JOB!
I'm eager to try this mod out. Colonizable stars eh? I wonder what the population caps are?
Are you resubbing it to filefront right now? You'd think Stardock/Ironclad would get these things hosted in impulse, so we can rate them, and automatically stay up to date on the latest versions of mods... (hear that Ironclad?)
Can someone fix the download link please?
Ah sorry didn't see your post there. Same thing happened to a mod I made for Company of Heroes. Took 2 hours to upload, got thousands of downloads then they removed it for no reason...
you got an account? because they will proly delete it if you dont. either that or when you hit a certian ammount of banwith usage.
ooops, haha just saw the post too
anyone having problems with the filefront link can use this one http://www.fileplanet.com/193435/190000/fileinfo/Solar-sins
Hi Danman, I took the liberty of updating 'Solar Sins 2' for patch 1.1 because I couldn't wait.
After a long weekend, I think that I finally got everything working right and I was also able to reduce the size of your original mod by almost 300 mb by removing a lot of unnecessary files that you kept from the 7DS mod.
Here is the link to the file: http://files.filefront.com/Solar+Sins+20+for+v117z/;12934148;/fileinfo.html
As always all credit goes to Danman and his team. I only updated the mod, not created it!
hey sweet. i've been itching to update to 1.1 for a while now. I did today, but was thinking... it would be nice to have the Sins Plus planets too.
I'll give it a try Animage, if i hit any bugs i'll let you know.
With the additional Suns included with this mod, is there by any chance a K Class sun (Orange)?
are there any mirror links to Solar sins? I can't download anything from filefront
Here is the link to the file: http://files.filefront.com/Solar+Sins+20+for+v117z/;12467890;/fileinfo.html
I hope somone answers because im curiouse about this too. Im enjoying the beta bue im not enjoying only having 5 planet typs and a very limmited selection of planetary effects...I heard some talk about things made for 1.2 generaly working for entrenchmant but i havent tested this myself. Seriously....starbase orbiting a naval bas planet? too frekin awsome
how do I get the mod working? I have the latest version of Sins, and evertime i try to activate the mod in the options\mod the game freezes and then it beeps.
hmmm...
Sorry, but the link is dead... Could you do something please?
Tks a lot!!!
I am from the 7DS team... i cannot modify the original post but i can do something... go to :
http://www.sri-corp.com/mkportal/modules/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page#Download
You have two link... The official solar sins 2.0 for sins 1.05 and a non official link who is for sins 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13 ( maybe 1.14 but not 1.15 )...
A list with detailed description of the 89 planet bonus can be found there ... for the planet types, go here ... wikipage with detail is only made for the sun type now... once 7DS 2.0 ( based on solar sins 2.0 ) will be released in a few days, i will have more time to complete the wiki...
Beware that these mod change almost nothing in the game play... it is simply more planet type, more planet bonus type and some cute graphic effect...
Will there be a working entrenchment version of Solar Sins anytime soon? Or was I just doing something wrong when I tried to load this into entrenchment?
Short reply : No, Yes
So I take it that it doesn't work with entrenchment then? I tried loading it in and the game froze up and never recovered.
Hey there,
It turns out the update of Sins Plus that was being worked on for Entrenchment accidentally contains a couple of features from Solar Sins (rogue stars and a few planet types).
These features may be removed in the next release of the mod, as they were included accidentally and without contacting Danman first. However, they are currently available in a beta version that works with Entrenchment 1.01.
Here's a link to the full post on the Entrenchment-enabled mod.
Cheers,
Caddrel
Don't worry... making so, you spare a lot of work for the 7DS team... and since version for Entrenchment was not yet planned, you are welcome...
In fact, if you make a full convertion of solar sins 2.0 for entrenchment, your file will be linked from our wiki and you will be credited for it...
The team have more interest in working on a new version who will add new feature that converting a old one each few week, when a patch appear...
I downloaded the mod and tried it but my game keeps taking a file dump. How do i fix that?
Never mind. I have sis version 1.15
There are many great features available to you once you register, including:
