Syris - Alien Planet Evolving from Nature to Sci-Fi Society
I'm just starting an alien hood that's going to be a challenge and I wanted to document my journey!
Planet Syris starts with one sim, and much like the beginning of Greek mythology, she will have a baby with herself and when he grows up, they will have babies with each other and populate the planet, and then those children will have babies with each other and so forth.
(Don't look at me like that, it wasn't I who came up with the concept! Blame the ancient Greeks!)
I already played the mythology angle so now I'm doing an alien angle on it instead. The thought behind it is that it will be kind of "evolutionary". Just like life on Earth started with cells that could reproduce with themselves, this is an alien species that can reproduce with itself and then evolves to sexual breeding. I'm starting on a completely natural lot, with nothing but natural resources, using Sun&Moon mods, and they will have to build themselves up all the way to a hyper sci fi futuristic alien society. To start with they will need to build their fundamental mood items with what they earn from the natural resources.
The starting sim is named Syris I. All future females of the species will be called Syris II, Syris III, etc, while the males will be called Syro I, Syro II, etc. I actually played this hood idea when I was little (but far less complicated and without downloads) so it's kinda fun to revisit it as an adult and I still remembered it was called Syris.
This is the coolest sim I've ever had!
So how did it go the very first day on planet Syris?
First of all, the lot is bascially a wooden area with mining rocks and Giving Trees from Sun&Moon so there will be plenty to do.
I don't mind the black water since it's an alien planet so I found it fitting. Otherwise I know how to fix it (it's a water mod).
There's also a couple of "natural toilets" cloned from Castaway. But that's one of the few motives you can fill from the start.
As you can see, we're starting with 0 in funds (except the cost of the lot of course). Everything Syris I earns will be from what she gathers on the lot.
Like for example tree branches to sell. She doesn't have enough body skill to chop down a tree yet.
First thing she did was go around the woods collecting everything she can from the trees and planting more trees to plan for the future.
I made her pregnant immediately upon entering the lot.
Then it is time for mining to hopefully get those resources in... she's getting hungry.
I was getting worried she was going to starve to death first thing as she was starving AND pregnant. But at last, thankfully she could afford a fridge and a cheap grill.
The first meal of the planet is... burnt hot dogs. That'll be erased from the history books.
At nightfall as she was mining, she was struck by lightning. Why does it always happen when I'm not even trying to make it happen?!
And of course... she dies.
So that is the end of all possible life on this planet. That was a short challenge.
