Virtual Worlds

• Moon Sims http://moonsims.asi.org/

Moon Sims was originally established to present a concept for a lunar settlement using the popular computer game, The Sims. The lunar settlement developed in ASI MOO was used as the basis for the description. The project developed a few of the items needed to show what life would be like in the moon a hundred years from now but development ended with the advent of The Sims 2 and the subsequent waning popularity of the orginal version of The Sims.

Moon Sims continues as an infrequently updated fan site The Sims and The Sims 2, and hosts a few other fan sites.
