The Sims 3: Calendar Addition EP proposal

this ep would add a calendar with years to it. it would bring back the zodiac signs to the sims, but this time the signs would not be part of each sims personality but each sign would represent a different month of the year. it would also add a new longer aging scale to your sims, giving longer lives. you would be able to toggle your sims between regular aging and calendar aging. the calendar aging would have these settings: short 65 years, medium 75 years, normal 85 years, long 100 years, and epic 120 years. the calendar months would go in this order: Aries 29 days, Taurus 31 days, Gemini 31 days, Cancer 32 days, Leo 31 days, Virgo 31 days, Libra 29 days except every four years when it has 30 days, Scorpio 30 days, Sagittarius 31 days, Capricorn 29 days, Aquarius 31 days, and Pisces 30 days. this ep would also add seasonal weathering and home owner's insurance. the seasons would fall like this: vernal equinox on Aries 1, summer solstice on Cancer 1, autumnal equinox on Libra 1, and winter solstice on Sagittarius 31. new weather destructions like tornadoes, hurricans, and earthquakes. the days on this calendar total 365 days & 366 days on leap years, just like our calendar. because this is a completely imaginary calendar used only in the sims world it does not have to be that accurate. when on calendar aging the sims would have an actual birthday that they would age up on alongside with a different time of day depending of when your sim was born. this ep would also add three new fast forwarding settings: calendar speed one would the months pass like hours, calendar speed two months pass in minutes, and calendar speed three months pass in seconds. unfortunately, when on calendar speed three you would not be able to control what your sims are doing; you would just sit back and watch time fly by. the aging would go like this: short five years as a baby, seven years as a toddler, seven years as a child, 11 years as a teen, 12 years as a young adult, 11 years as an adult, 12 years as an elder; medium five, seven, seven, 14, 14, 14, 14; normal five, seven, seven, 16, 17, 16, 17; long five, seven, seven, 20, 21, 20, 20; and epic five, seven, seven, 25, 26, 25, 25. that's all i can think of to add more realistic time passage to the sims, please tell me what you think and make any suggestions you want!

Bottle-Capped Dyson's Sphere

The dimensions of a Bottle-Capped Dyson’s Sphere are huge. It is three ships actually. First you would have an inner Dyson’s Sphere that has a diameter of 29,763 AU, then an outer Dyson’s that has a diameter of 12,759 km wider than the diameter of the inner Dyson’s Sphere. These two Dyson’s would be connected. The outer & inner Dyson’s Spheres would have a hole in them where the Bottle-Cap would fit: with a diameter of 14,878 AU. This hole would be in the north pole of the outer & inner Dyson’s Sphere. So yeah this thing would be massive. Since this would be a generational construction undertaking one would wanna build it in a different solar system than our own. That is what a Bottle-Capped Dyson’s Sphere is ok.

Warp Speeds

The Warp Speed equations are for speeds of Warp 1 to Warp 10 is V=c*W(3+1/3)+(-1/2*(log(10—W))), Warp 10 is 1600*c and Warp 11 is 1624*c; for speeds of Warp 12 and faster it's V=c*W3.
V is velocity, c is the speed of light, W is the Warp factor
In Classic Star Trek it thought that Warp 10 is possible and that you can go faster. In Star Trek TNG we learn that Warp 10 is infinite speed and you cannot go any faster. This is still in Star Trek DS9. In Star Trek Voyager we learn that Warp 10 is not infinite speed but the trans-Warp Barrier; that makes Warp 11, trans-Warp 1. This is right. In Star Trek Enterprise they do not talk about any Warp Speeds faster than Warp 5.

About Me

I am a Christian!! I am also a scientist, and I find more logic in Christianity than atheism. I have only been a Christian since I was 14, when I was baptized. I pretty good at astronomy, and happen to be a big sci-fi fan. The thing I am major good at is accounting, handling other people's money. I am currently going after my CPA. And after I get that I will get an associates in astronomy. I am batmanfanforever08 on YouTube; the "audio clip" is my YouTube channel. I am on Facebook, the "my web page" is my Facebook page. These blogs will be included in the book I am writing (assuming I ever get around to finishing it): "Listening to the Nonsense" or "Tracking Planet Time for our Solar System".
