Hi guys!

I've been playing Lemmings since the 90s, and a couple years ago I stumbled upon WinLems and started building custom levels and experimenting with it, even rebuilding and reimagining some of the ONML levels and a few from YouTubers.

I can't think of a better place to share some of my .dat files, and I'd love to know if there are any other WinLems builders here that would like to share some levels too!

I attached some pictures to give an idea of my builds

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks for sharing the level pictures. It's always lovely to see new ways to use these old tilesets. Nice artwork! Every author has his own unique style.

With "WinLems", do you mean WinLems by Warren Gaylen (from 2007, which looks like it accepts .DAT files) or do you mean Lemmings for Windows 95 (whose directory is also called Winlemm)? It's a nastily similar name. I believe neither of these two games has active players here. From early 2025: Giga's topic about Warren Gaylen's WinLems

You can attach your levels. Or you can upload .DAT packs to Mindless's Lemmings Level Database.

For reference - levels from both Win95 Lemmings and Warren Gaylen's WinLems can be converted to NeoLemmix (and from there to many of the other modern engines, if you prefer another one - though NeoLemmix is generally the "gold standard"), but you'll need to use a slightly older version of NL (12.9 or earlier) to do so.
My projects
2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)
Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)
