oh, cool! Why didnt I think of that? That would be sooooo cool! You could choose to put characters in trees, hobbit holes, towers etc and laugh when an elf bumps its head in a hole!

Or, if you are in an especialy evil mood, you could place the One Riong with any character and see what happens!

It would be interesting to say the least! I don't think it would be that great. The land of ME is just too big to replicate, too complicated and detailed. However, if someone who knew the LOTR books well and worked on the hame, it could be done okish! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I think it sounds like a very cool idea. I'd like to play a game like that. You could really mess up the history of ME!

Perhaps you could have a LotR: Sims: Hot Date, and hook Sam and Rosie up. Or worse, Sauron and Saruman!! Ewwwwww, did I just say that? Maybe you could get a dwarf and an elf together and see what kind of kids they'd have. (okay, so maybe I'm a little disturbed)

What ever MY case may be, I think it is a neat idea.

that would be so cool. you could really do some weird things. you could have LOTR style but they might go a little modern and put in telephones and computeers. that would be cool

A bit out of topic: Did you know that if you lock a Sim in a room with no windows and doors he dies??
I can just see myself doing that to Frodo... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Lord of the Rings sims skins

I think someone mentioned this...

Hope it works, don't know anything about it, though.
