🛸 This year, I'm offering you an Intergalactic Christmas ! A dive into the heart of a new Sixam, a land of dark bioluminescence and flying saucers. Featuring a new neighborhood terrain replacement (concrete) with integrated roads (+road overlays), a multitude of new neighborhood decorations, and even samples of glowing flora to place in your Sims' gardens.
🎉 All the items have been compressed and tested
I had fun with @jawusa's Sixam Neighborhood map.
🛣️ The Terrain Replacement 🎉
🌕 It's a mix of @furbyq's Painted Concrete Replacement and a grey-blue recoloring of @lordcrumps' Twikii (Temperat5) terrain. It has custom roads based on @lordcrumps Suburban Roads but also snow states enabled for the roads, no more clean skirts on a heavy snowy land. It's not perfect and I don't know how to include shaders, but it's quite ok. Aliens can have a snowy Christmas too ! I used it for all my preview images.
🌘 Be careful, it's a CONCRETE terrain replacement, it may conflict with other files also replacing the concrete terrain ! The file includes a road overlay available in Deco/Misc for 0§

🍄 The Neighborhood Decos🍁
A few recolors of Sixam Flora extracted by @simsinsania and made neighborhood deco by @grilledcheese-aspiration for some.
🎊 The bioluminescent Spores (cloned from @pixeldolly Farm Fields) are made to be placed underneath the Plants for a more natural effect. Of course, all the Decos are placeable evrywhere (lot, road, water).

🏭 I discovered the Anno-2070 Eco-production Buildings from @cityof2morrow a while ago and immediately loved them, especially with their nighttime lighting! But their colors bothered me. They were too earthy, too greenish, and didn't match the bright, blue atmosphere of Sixam. So I recolored them with blue and pink tones, more appropriate for an alien city. I also recolored the crops and made them bioluminescent.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried changing the crop thumbnails images, they only appear with the same image of field in the catalog. The recolored building have a different GUID than the original ones, so you can have both in your game.
🏢 I know that @cityof2morrow has also converted other buildings from the same game (and they look fabulous) and maybe I'll recolor them one day to match my current buildings, but my recent setbacks have caused me to lose my Photoshop scripts, so it won't be for a while.

🍃 The Sixam Flora LOT Version
🌈 For recolor purposes, I had to convert the items from scratch and make a few changes on the meshes itself. There are more color options for the LOT versions than for the neighborhood decos, because of technical issues, and because Neighborhood Decos are standalone objects and I didn't wanted to make to much of them. But feel absolutely free to use my files to make recolors for your own projects (just check my TOU on the way).
You can all find them in Buy Mode > Deco > Plants for 35§
The tentacle tree has an invisible flower option !
🌈 I made them in so many colors because I wanted them to be adaptable for creating fairy-tale (Enchanted by Nature style) or underwater decors. Of course, all the lot items are made Quater-tile placement enabled, they also are on one-tile to make placeable on OMSPs

PS : Yes, @jawusa released A-MA-ZING animated and seasoned sixam plants just yesterday, and maybe they will be recolored some day, but for now, just enjoy the colors and the possibilities they offer you : an underwater decor with mermaids, a weird planet, an amazing pride day party/festival or an enchanted forest with fairies...
✨ A very Merry Christmas for all of you !
