After a few months of intermittent work, my first ever fully original level pack is complete.
It's very small, consisting of only 12 levels (with only 8 unique layouts) split across 2 ranks. It also features a barebones "special" level (with an accompanying special style containing the necessary objects), music from various Lemmings versions, and an additional music track composed by me.
It should be a relatively quick and easy completion for most players, but hopefully it's enjoyable nonetheless. :)

Below are multiple downloads of the level pack. ALL of them contain the levels themselves and the special style, so if you want the music, you only need to download ONE of these ZIP files. Regardless of which one you choose, it must be unzipped into the main NeoLemmix folder.
This download contains no custom music.

This download contains the two music tracks that are NOT alternate versions of default music.
SweetNSour_SpecialMusicOnly.zip (9.45 MiB)
This download contains all the music tracks.

Have fun! :)
Looking forward to giving these a try. :thumbsup: I've been a fan of your work for ages, hehe
Currently stuck at Sweet 5 Just Relax.
Lack of constructive skill gets me : 4 gaps, some quite large and high and only 2 builders and 6 stoners. Also, how can this basher help me get higher ? Need to think more I guess...
Started to play his pack yesterday. The Sweet rank gets quite challenging at some point! I'm stuck at the "Puzzle" level (I don't remember the full title). Either I don't understand how these teleport looking objects work, or they don't work properly? Probably the former. I'm quite dumb when it comes to stuff that are not in the original Lemmings.
That being said, I enjoyed the levels I managed to solve :thumbsup:
I could clear the whole pack now, except Sweet 5 Just Relax... Still stuck there because of the 5 gaps (sorry I wrote 4 gaps in my last message) and only 2 builders + 6 stoners to create terrain. Maybe I dont know how to use stoners properly ? Any hint would be appreciated.
The other levels were very pleasing to the eyes and the brain. I especially loved Sour 3 Chasms Capers (is there really an -s at "capers", I used only one caper ;P )
I may have found some backroutes here and there because I end up with extra skills, mainly in Sour 5 and Sour 6.
Do you mind if I post my replays here ? Always fear it can break the fun for other players.
Didn't expect Sweet 5 to be so tricky, whoops :forehead:
Here's a hint for you Guigui :)
Sweet 5 Hint
You can't get over the tall column right before the goal with the skills available, so you'll have to go through it ;) If you're still stumped let me know :)
Really happy to hear you enjoyed the other levels! You are very welcome to post your replays here :) I already found a backroute in Sour 5
right after posting the pack (because of course I did) and will likely leave it as is, so I'm hoping you found the same backroute :crylaugh:
Firstly, thank you for making this pack, The Tomato Watcher - thoroughly enjoyed playing through it! It's on the easier side, but still a nice challenge, especially on certain levels. My replays for sweet and sour ranks attached. I don't think I found any backroutes here, but I'm not the best at knowing when I've found one and when it was the author's intended solution!
Secondly, by way of introduction, I've been lurking on this forum for six years or so and thought it was time I stepped out of the shadows. I'm a long time fan of OG Lemmings, having bought it when it came out in '91 on the Atari ST (probably giving my age away a bit there!). Discovering Neolemmix and this forum was a godsend and I just want to thank all of the authors of packs on here, who've brought me many hours of entertainment (and frustration!). Keep up the good work!

Yes Sweet 5 cleared now, not sure why it scared me that much after all. Thanks for the tip !
I'm joining my replays and some comments on the levels and solution :
Spoiler
Sweet 1 Nice introduction level, open ended. I made it with a single pioneer.
Sweet 2 Lost an awful lot of Lemmings in the pit here, but it is allowed so why not ?
Sweet 3 I save one basher here, with a straightforward solution : see an obstacle, overcome it with a skill.
Sweet 4 Scary level at first sight ! Blocking the crowd and sending a pioneer do the job works well. I get just enough builders but save many destructive skills.
Sweet 5 No comment now, I misjudged the power of stoners !
Sweet 6 Timing the upmost basher is everything here. Probably the intended solution as I have no skill left at the end.
This level reminds me of the newer Lemmings game on Android/iOS : all levels have this vertical setting and screen ratio to fit a phone screen. Is that a coincidence ?
Sour 1 Sweet 1 remixed w/ different skills. I had to struggle a bit to get the half turning lem in time to free the crowd. Good level !
Sour 2 Compression ! I fidgeted a lot to get a first batch of 3 compressed lems to prepare terrain, then compressed the others very tight. Not sure this is intended solution ?
Sour 3 Really love this one Chasm Capers. Spent way too much time building on both sides simultaneously, until I saw a peculiar skill you gave that actually helps with pits...
Sour 4 Sweet 5 remixed. I was scared at first since I could not clear the original level. But then I saw the 4 builders and how to overcome the last pillar so it was a quick solve. Maybe not intended again since I save miner and bomber ?
Sour 5 Pretty sure I backrouted here since I save more lemmings than required, and save skills. The jumper at the beginning survives the fall by one pixel thanks to the miner applied first. I am not really sure how jumpers splat height is calculated...
Sour 6 Probably another backroute. Watch me try to use the shimmier to finally let it fall to its doom ! The crowd is save at the last second of course, I had to adjust some bashers tightly to achieve this.
