I found this once when Googling Caranthir to see if I could find some decent fanfiction...

Celegorm doesn't have his trademark golden mane, but aside from that...no complaints!

If you have both Sim City 4 and Sims (original version) installed on your PC, you can download characters you've created in the Sims to live in your cities, so you really could have Sauron in Barad Dur and so on, if you have any custom skins downloaded (maybe from the site I posted the link to).

I'm not sure that cities with roads, power stations and skyscrapers are very Middle-earth, but if you used the cheat for money, you could create something appropriate by sticking to little towns and having farmers' markets and so on.

Anyone with a really good graphics card could conjour up some really funny scenarios to take screenshots from! Especially if they enabled the 'disaster' option on Sim City - which if I remember rightly includes a volcano?

You could have an appropriate Ninth Age city I suppose...

My, my, I know this is an ancient thread, but I had to say something. This is what got me lurking around here for a while, since the site in question (and all the stuff on it) is one of mine. We all have our little guilty pleasures, don't we? I was so touched by what I read that I decided to lurk around and learn more about the community -- and I liked it. So hello and thank you from a new poster/long time lurker.

Awesome! You've given a Tolkien and Sims fan hours of fun with your skins and furniture! I have to say it was really good to find some Tolkien skins that were not based on the film characters/actors for once. Not only was it more fun to have the more unusual characters in the game but they are lovely to look at...and I couldn't stop laughing when Sauron caught Guinea Pig Disease

I'm off for another look now to see if you've done any new stuff.
