You mean Balrog's have chicken wings ...

Actually, they are so named, because when Sauron first cooked them under Morgoth's instruction he left them in the oven for too long and the smoke filled the kitchen and spread from one green-tiled wall to the other like great wings.

Wow, amazing site! If only I didn't have The Sims installed on my crappy computer, which tends to frizz out whenever I try to add any items or skins. Ah well, I will try these. They seem more reliable than the ones previously tried.

Before my computer crashed years ago (The good old crashing in the good old days, you know, they were REAL crash... not these manbiddy-pambiddy...etc.) I had made a one Lord Aragorn sit in a great hall of stone-- it cost a fortune and looked amazing (I spent an hour or two just designing that room) and he hated it!

Now I have the joy or watching Turgon (Glamdring at his side) make apple sauce!

Thanks oddles, Lalwendë.

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?

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