Another pack to add to the "completed" list: Lemmings Plus 1. I first played the pack on Dos a few years ago. I solved the entire pack except for two levels which I know the solutions to but they're extremely difficult and nearly impossible to pull off on Dos. One of the levels got removed in V7, while the other one is still in the NL version. I finally solved the former as a rejected level in the first rank of namida's Recycle Bin pack. I might come back from time to time to try and solve the Dos version of both levels, but honestly I think I won't be successful because of how the execution for both is way too fiddly and very messy on Dos due to its shortcomings, in particular no framestepping, directional select, and cannot assign skills while paused.

Now, I have completely solved the entire pack on New Formats NL. It was nice to play through the pack again after a few years, as well as play and solve a lot of easy levels for once, after having played almost nothing but very hard levels for the past several months. I should definitely dial back and play some easier ones, as all the hard content has been wearing me out, both physically and mentally. As I think everyone is aware, I'm willing to play packs of any difficulty, but I can feel the effects of playing only hard levels taking its toll on me.

Modified the OP to add New Formats NL to the "completed" list. I already added the 148/150 Dos version to the completed list a long time ago, and I pretty much do consider this finished since again I know the solutions but I simply can't bother to try and execute it.

This is not incompatible with a maximum length; in the majority of my LPs (Lemmings and otherwise) I've usually recorded at least two, if not more, videos per session. This was especially frequent during my Grandia III and Hollow Knight LPs, where I'd often record as many as seven or eight videos in a row.

I don't think I can record that many videos at once. At least not without experiencing discomfort from having worn the headset for extended periods of time. Granted, the most levels I have solved in one video is an entire rank of 30 levels, but at the same time they were all solved in a reasonable amount of time thanks to the ability of time skipping. Definitely going to try and keep such videos under 50 minutes to an hour long, although I'm working on getting any LP video with any number of levels solved to reasonable lengths instead of making them so long :P Don't worry, I'm not offended if you don't watch all in one sitting, as I myself quickly lose interest in a video after some time.

Another pack solved: Clammings. Wow, not an easy pack, but eventually got through it all, and definitely a great pack. Clam did a great job with his levels, and it's nice to see his legacy live on even though he has been inactive and hasn't been online here for several years.

Added to the completed list in the OP.

After almost a month, SEB Lems for NL New Formats is solved. It was a very difficult and long journey, but it's finally done. Added to the completed list in the OP.

Congratulations! That's not an easy pack for sure, but you did it! I can hardly keep pace watching your videos :-) Which pack will you play next?

Thanks for the kind words! :thumbsup: I'm in agreement of it not being an easy pack at all. Certainly harder than Sublems.

It's my bad. I generally record and upload at least 2 or 3 LP videos each day :crylaugh: I'm also one of those people where if I'm on a hot streak with solving, why stop? Sometimes even those levels that were no solves on video make me come back for more, especially if I feel I'm really close to getting it solved but that I decided to stop because I needed some more time to think about it and also ran long on video.

Which pack will you play next?

Good question! :-\ I haven't yet decided, but right now it's a toss-up among Lemmings Plus 2, Insane Steve's World, and either Reunion or one of the packs Icho converted. In particular, I will probably start with Dovelems over Pimolems, since I first played Dovelems, then Pimolems, back when I found out about Lemmini, so pretty much preserving the order of the packs I've played here. Or, I could reverse the order and start with Reunion, then Pimolems, and finally Dovelems. It's pretty much reverse order, both difficulty-wise and chronologically in terms of when I played the packs :crylaugh: I likely will do namida's pack next, since it's one I haven't played, while I have already played the last three packs mentioned (on Lemmini, not on NL). I also did both of Arty's packs about two months apart each, and I did namida's LPI right after Sublems, so with how it's been about two months since I completed it, I think I'm ready to take on another of namida's packs on camera ;)

If you have any other pack suggestions/recommendations, you're certainly more than welcome to drop them off here: https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=5180.msg90501#new :) I know you said somewhere (not the one I linked to) that you have played and really liked Insane Steve's World. That for sure is on my to-LP list. Plus, Proxima's already gave that pack as a recommendation to LP. You can start with that and I'll add your name to the list of people who suggested that pack to LP ;) You also have my word that I will cover your upcoming pack via LP when it's done and avilable :)

You could also play Deceits Lemmings which is a small pack of 54 levels only. I'd like to see if you can beat the infamous final level "Enter at your own risk." ;-) I couldn't so this pack can not be considered "solved" by me.

kaywhyn

Ah yes, thanks for reminding me. I will add the pack to the list and credit you for the suggestion (done, added to the OP in the other topic in "General Discussion") ;) I have played Deceit's Lemmings once upon a time actually. I played it on Lemmix a couple of years ago, and that time I was able to solve all the levels except for the final one, "Enter At Your Own Risk." However, I came back to the level I think a year later and I was able to solve it, so yes, I have completely solved the pack before, just not all around the same time I solved all the ones before it. I recently came back to that level a few months ago for NL when I was resolving a patched up United level in the Genocide rank, and I believe I solved it that time as well. However, when LPing the pack, I will not be using any replays, and so I'm just going to play out the level and struggle with it as if I never played it before :P

Kind of been on a level pack solving streak in the past several days and managed to take down 3 in short order: Gronkling's Animal Pack (GAP) 1: Rodents, Modular Lems by Flopsy, and integral of tan x dx's Renaissance Lemmings. I have added these packs to the "completed" list in the OP

Two more packs to add to the "completely solved" list, David's The Lemmings Have Grown pack and Duuddu's Godlems. Phew, I'm getting worn out with these difficult packs/levels.

Just as a general note - people rarely tend to pay attention to the titles in replies, and most people just leave it at the default (indeed, if you use Quick Reply, it's always left as default). It's better to put the important stuff in the message body. :)
