Hi @Ghia, welcome back after a long absence then! I registered to be a member in 2017, so about 2 years after you took your leave, though I didn't post anything to the Lemmings Forums site until 2020, almost 3 years after I registered.

In addition to the link in Proxima's post which is a topic in the NL Styles board, other places where you can download NL and the NL styles:

My journey through the world of NeoLemmix brings me back to the Lemmings Plus series from time to time. I already finished LP1, LP2, LP 4, LP 6 and LP Omega. So the next pack in terms of ascending difficulty is supposedly LP 3 - so this is the pack I will start right now and hopefully bring to an end.

Timid

1 - Here We Go Again!

Easy, but not trivial start. I did it counterclockwise. Clockwise would also be possible, I think.

2 - Welcome To LemLab

I read that the levels will become tricky very early in this pack. So this one is not a typical 2nd level - still not a big problem with mining down to help the crowd out. Nice tune!

3 - Strike It Down!

If bashers don't work, diggers and miners will do. Easy level. I won't go for the talismans in this pack.

4 - Roundabout Run

First level with teleporters. Another easy one, except there is a danger that too many Lemmings pass the teleporter entrance at the same time. Plus one Lem has to prepare a safe landing.

5 - The Rickroll Level

We know these type of levels from different LP-Parts. Very easy one, despite being void of blockers.

6 - The Rebound 

First level with pick-ups. Two float down, one becomes a blocker. The other one turns around and builds a landing platform for the crowd. Still pretty easy.

7 - Oh No! More Oddstacks!

The title is a reminisicence to this hard and initially pretty misplaced level in LP I. Which is a great one. This one here is much easier, though, as there are more than enough skills to bring the crowd up to the exit.

8 - Heads In The Sky

First level with a trap, but this one can be bypassed easily. Most likely the easiest level in the pack so far.

9 - Scatterlem

First level with preplaced Lemmings. I saved all ten here by mining underneath the steel-block. Easier than it looks.

10 - The Acid Vat

It's easy to see that building over the acid is impossible, so underneath is the way to go. Down, Along, Up. In that order.

11 - What Does This Button Do?

First level with a locked exit and thus an introduction-level for the unlock-buttons. Very easy.

12 - Symmetrical Warfare

Working simultaneously on both sides is not required, but advisable. Quick solve.

13 - No Floaters, Guaranteed 

Definitively a step up in terms of difficulty due to the absence of floaters, the trap and the 99-Release-rate. Nice tune from Super Mario II.

14 - Excavation Expedition

Hidden exit, but a bigger challenge is the limited amount of bridges here which run out quickly. Still, not a hard level.

15 - Some Say It Was A Lemming

The beginning is the trickiest part in this level. The Lemmings die instantly and must be caught with a bridge, but due to the high Release-Rate, not everyone can be saved. Also, the concept of Updrafts is introduced here.

16 - Locked Out!

Nice level to finish off the rank. Nothing too challenging here as well. As everyone has to saved, the blocker must be released in the end.

Having completed the first rank of Lemmings Plus III, I must say that this rank was way easier than I had expected. Let's see what the next will bring.

Spoiler

Dodgy

1 - Boost Jumper

Maybe that's where the pack will pick up speed. Tricky level which took me a while to solve. It's not clear from the beginning how the seven bridges have to be used. The climber which runs the risk of climbing to death was a problem, too.

2 - If The River Runs Red...

With no bombers usable, the skillset doesn't give many options anymore. The use of the climber in the end is really nice.

3 - Flea Market

The players starts with no skills - they are all scattered in pick-ups. Nice concept which I have already seen elsewhere. Fortunately, this level is not overly difficult. I missed the miner, though.

4 - Excavation Expedition II

The second iteration of this level with a reduced skillset  - each skill by one. I took the far side, this time.

5 - A Lemming For Your Thoughts

Two-of-everything level of the easy kind. Just building up and bashing above the trap.

6 - Seven-Way Security

Tricky level. For reaching all the buttons and not runing out of bridges, both teleporters have to be used here.

7 - Experimental Materials

First level with a time-limit. Solution is pretty obvious here - it was a bit harder than I thought since both blockers had to be saved as well.

8 - Flying On Broken Wings

Next one with a time-limit which is much tighter this time. Nice level that makes one think of having to use the teleporter, which it's just a facade instead. Also, the pioneer must turn around before the basher has finished his work.

9 - Synergistic Effect

Fairly easy one. One Lemming each has to reach the middle and the ground floor - they must build bridges to catch the others from above.

10 - The Duck Level

Bit of a roadblock for me. The lack of terrain-removing skills here made the whole thing hard - took me a while to see that the bottom-route is the way to go. Bridges have to be used wisely as well, there's not an excessive number of them. Pretty annoying music here.

11 - Dreamy Drift

Easy level despite the time-limit. Don't know what the climbers are good for, I solved it without them.

12 - Extra Skill Required

Not quite as easy as the previous one, but not a big problem as well. Tried the talisman, but couldn't make it work.

13 - Speak of the Lemming...

I surprisingly struggled with this one. I couldn't decide to assign a climber at first or to refrain from that. With the climber, I would need an additional builder to prevent him from climbing to the exit. Without the climber, I couldn't imagine how to reach the pick-up later. It turned out the latter was the right way - I just did the miner-part wrong. Good level, though.

14 - Flag Games

This is a great, but a little mean level. The key part is the small gap between the second and the third obstacle. It must not be sealed with a bridge. Instead a basher has to be used to create a small hole in the pillar at the opposite side. This Lemmings now falls down, climbs up and will be able to move on as a miner. A neat, but rarely used trick.
