In SimEarth, the player can vary a planet's atmosphere, temperature, landmasses, etc., then place various forms of life on the planet and watch them evolve. Since it is a software toy, the game does not have any required goals. The big (and difficult) challenge is to evolve sentient life and an advanced civilization. The development stages of the planet can be restored and repeated, until the planet "dies" ten billion years after its creation, the estimated time when the Sun will become a red giant and kill off all of the planet's life.
The game models the Gaia hypothesis of James Lovelock (who assisted with the design and wrote an introduction to the manual), and one of the options available to the player is the simplified "Daisyworld" model.

The goal of this is to trigger an exodus. The monolith here will fail
most of the time, but since there's nothing to do once the sliders are
set and the gift is opened, feel free to use it. Here's what needs to
be done:
1. Set civilization sliders so that BioEnergy, Sun/Wind, Hydro/Geo,
Moral and Food are maxed out, Tech is slightly less than those, and
slightly raise Medic and Art.
2. Adjust atmosphere by slightly lessening solar impact and greenhouse

Sim Earth Scenario 1- Evolve a civilization
This video shows on how to beat this scenario. All u do is use the monolith on a animal and make it evolve to a tribe civilization state. It's 50/50 chance it will work but this scenario has unlimited time so you can just make the animals evolve into a high state of being so it will change to a tribe. But u can save up omega energy and use the monolith till u get a good change to make it evolve. Try to raise the bar on the civilization stats to high in tech, food, art, etc. whatever I show u in this video. Good luck!

SimEarth [Lost in DOS]
For this first episode I chose something more laid back and comfy. This series will cover some intense DOS games. I'm trying to pace myself before getting into the wild stuff like RPGs or ultra cryptic adventure games.
It wouldn't have been possible to do this series with actual DOS hardware if it wasn't for the Patrons. Huge shoutouts to those lovely people.

to download sim earth,
go here, http://nitroemu.com/view/system/super%20nintendo%20entertainment%20system
download either SNES emulator that fits your needs.
then put it to ur pc.
next download the rom,
http://nitroroms.com/view/Nintendo_SNES-rom/158926/named-Sim%20Earth%20-%20The%20Living%20Planet.7z.html
u need zip program to extract the file. either 7z program or winrar. google search it.
5.1. Aquarium- goal: get a land-based animal to civilize, time limit:
unlimited?
_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_
First, set off one volcano, preferably in the shallows, more than one
will put too much dust in the atmosphere and kill everything besides
bacteria and amoeba. Then, change the advance option under the
biosphere section (found under the third option brought up by hitting
start) to the maximum setting (far right), leave everything else alone.
Wait till the island fills up with trees and grass. They should grow on
there own, if not put a regular tree or two up. Put an amphibian or
reptile on the island (amphibians are cheaper and should evolve into
reptiles quickly. On the other hand reptiles won't wonder into the
water). Make sure to save the game before going on to the next step.
Use a monolith on any land based animal. If you fail load the game and
try again.
QUESTION: Whenever I load the save games on my version of the game
strange things happen, that luckily I've been able to compensate for.
Namely on the planets with more extreme temperatures (that is after
I've got plants to grow) the temperature either goes up or down quite a
bit, this kills quite a few plants and animals but usually not all of
them. Also any existing plants and animals seem to be randomly thrown
across the world, with things like mammal civilizations being thrown
into the deep ocean. Can anyone confirm if other people's games do
this as well? E-mail: [email protected]

"Silicon Valley Report" correspondent Terry Phillips explores a computer program that simulates a planet's entire ecosystem. This story was broadcast on San Jose PBS station KTEH (Channel 54).
In SimEarth, the player can vary a planet's atmosphere, temperature, landmasses, etc., then place various forms of life on the planet and watch them evolve. Since it is a software toy, the game does not have any required goals. The big (and difficult) challenge is to evolve sentient life and an advanced civilization. The development stages of the planet can be restored and repeated, until the planet "dies" ten billion years after its creation, the estimated time when the Sun will become a red giant and kill off all of the planet's life.
The game models the Gaia hypothesis of James Lovelock (who assisted with the design and wrote an introduction to the manual), and one of the options available to the player is the simplified "Daisyworld" model.
