While I was dowloading these I noticed that the different files have been downloaded a different amount of times. You would think they'd be downloaded equally. I've noticed this before on other levels. Does anyone know the reason?

I haven't played this yet, but I noticed you used my fence and the potted bush, and it looks like a lovely picnic.

I have noticed that too. Some levels may work. Some may not. Most of you guys models have been posted individually, so if they were downloaded when first posted, they would need not do that again, but if I were to use Lns "platform" with a new skin, and they didn't download the file with the level, then they wouldn't see it. Same with houses. The level could be played with the default houses. And maybe some people still haven't figured out how to do it.

Alright, so it wasn't my fence it was Steve's barrel (same skin file), and you improvised the grapevines very well with one of my bushes.

I did the barrel puzzle so many times my computer crashed

but I carried on after restarting it and finally got to the end. I could have done with a couple of those bottles of wine afterwards.

I think it's time to crown you the 'Queen of Advanced Levels' and 'House Designer of the Year'.

You know I've noticed this too. I can understand why the level might be downloaded more than the custom stuff, but it does boggle my mind a bit why custom houses and custom models are often downloaded a different number of times. I mean, once you figure out how to deal with custom houses, dealing with custom models is exactly the same thing, just in a different folder! Are people here allergic to custom models or something?!?!?!?!?

That being said, I do want to mention that when I downloaded this level, I wound up downloading the custom house stuff twice, because once when I did it I put it in the wrong folder and so I redownload again so it goes to the right folder. So I can understand an occasional difference between custom house and custom model downloads, but what I have observed is far more than "occasional". Surely, people here aren't that careless all the time are they?!?!?

Actually, I guess there's one more possible explanation. Custom models do tend to tax older computers a little more, because they can require more processing power to display, especially if they have high polygon count. In comparison custom houses are perhaps not as bad. So maybe a few people found that their computer isn't very happy with custom models and decided to just skip them when downloading advanced levels? Let's hope so, as the alternative explanation, as I've mentioned earlier, aren't so flattering to the people who downloaded stuff.

Just want to add that I've finished the level, and it was lovely as usual. Thanks, janetgalle!

Great level jg!

Very informative!
But I'm still trying to figure out the podwer keg puzzle

I'm not very good at puzzles where I have to push a bunch of things around in confined spaces, except in the case of the inventory puzzles that someone (was it you, janetgalle?) made.

Smashing level Janet, visually stunning and a good puzzle.

My problem was the kegs, eventually figured it out tho'

Another job well done!

Thanks

For someone that doesn't like wine, I still loved this level.

Maybe next time it will be a beer level! You are so creative yet keep them fun and chaellanging.
Thanks a million!!
