Is there a Sins Plus or similar stand alone mod?

from Sins Forums

I was wondering if there still existed the Sins Plus mod by Uzii as a stand alone mod? Or if anyone had made a similar mod that added new planet types to the game. Preferably one compatible with Entrenchment. I've been playing an earlier version of the game with Sins Plus installed but I'm about to update with the entrenchment mod and I don't want to have to go back to the small amount of different planets the original game had. I know the 7 Deadly Sins mod has incorporated the Sins Plus mod, but I'm not really that interested in the other things included such as different races and new research items, I like the game the way it is. If there aren't any alternatives I will try using the 7 Deadly Sins mod though I'm not sure how stable the alpha release of the Entrenchment compatible version is.

Or there's Distant Stars.  It includes Sins Plus, all those graphic-boosting mods, added research levels, and more.  However, it's available for two releases of Entrenchment (v1.02 and v1.03).

There is a version for Entrenchmentv1.02 , but you would need to update it for v1.03 .It's not that hard really just a little time consuming.

I've started maintaining my own build version of Sins Plus for Entrenchment for use in combination with some of my other mods.  There was constant demand for merged mods so I thought it was the best course.  I maintain a stand alone version as well.  You can find it in my mod thread here:

It's called GalaxyMod.  It is basically Sins Plus minus the Ship Graveyards and perhaps one or two other little things that were problematic in Sins Plus.

The current release will work in Entrenchment 1.03 but I have discovered some 1.03 specific issues that should be corrected.  I've already done so privately and will have to release a new version shortly.  I'm just hoping to test a bit to be sure I haven't mucked anything up while updating.

I think I just have a 'vanilla' version of Entrenchment, it says v1.01. Will GalaxyMod work with 1.01? I found Celestial Bodies has a couple of odd bugs with this version.

The currently posted version of GalaxyMod will work with Entrenchment v1.02 or v1.03 (more or less).  Once I update GalaxyMod for v1.03 it will no longer work with Entrenchment v1.02.  If you haven't patched and are still running v1.01 then I don't believe that any posted version is going to be compatible.

When I use the term "Vanilla" Sins or SoaSE I mean the original game without Entrenchment.
