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.

 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.

I've done new stuff, I just haven't gotten it posted since... last July, I think. It's been a bad year, and posting new things on the site can be a real time-consuming headache. But I have new stuff that will show up in time, both in meshes and skins and objects. Glad you've been enjoying it.
Sauron caught the guinea pig disease, eh? In my game, once upon time, Gandalf wound up with a foundling on his doorstep (don't ask me how that happened; I've never heard of anyone else getting a foundling, especially not when it's a single person living in the house!); it turned out to be a boy, so he named him Frodo. He got Frodo a guinea pig (as this was long before Unleashed and pets came along). The guinea pig loved Gandalf, but bit Frodo every chance he got. Poor little tyke wound up with the disease and... well, so much for foundling Frodo. Then there were Melkor and Sauron and the swimming pool of death. I'd forgotten to put in an exit ladder, and guests that used it kept dying until I realized what had happened. It seemed bizarrely appropriate, especially since the two of them didn't appear the slightest bit interested in it, but every guest they had practically made a bee-line for it. Sigh.  And then there's my Yavanna and Aule. They have to live in separate houses, despite the fact that they love each other, 'cause when they're together for too long, they start getting on each others' nerves. Why does this remind me of the two of them in the Silmarillion...?

Careful with that, Fordy, you'll get your keyboard all slimy.
