Disclaimer:

This Mod is simply a recolor and duplication of Ironclad/Stardock's original textures.

Introduction

Sins Enhanced is a planned multi part mod of Sins of the Solar Empire. The mod is designed to be as modular as possible so users can pick and choose the parts they want to enable or disable. This first edition deals with Stars and Sky boxes with aims of adding variety in the colors of both stars and their backgrounds. Example Images will be listed below.

I welcome any input from the community as to what they would like to see in color variety.

NEW Galaxy Spiral Texture Screenshots
The intent of the new galaxy spiral textures is to try and make them not look like a galaxy since galaxies are millions of stars, but the aim of these textures are to just have the star give off a kind of glow effect instead. These made need to be revised.

Is this still available for download? The link says it can't be found. Or perhaps has someone else developed a similar mod? I love variety in a game like this.

Really? You expect a 3 year old post to be active?
