Thanks, Reece and noted. This is a problem mainly where I post squirrel targets close together; I usually spread them around the clock, which should make things fairer (and use up less Subsim) but I think I got carried away with the sheer excitement. I'll spread them out more next time and see how it goes, then consider your suggestion again.

@ beaniebuddy... shinning up and down ladders is second nature to squirrels and those of us familiar with military shooter games: you use the mouse to 'look up' as you approach the ladder and you should then find yourself locked onto it and going up as you continue to press the 'forward' key. Coming down you must again 'look' at the hatchway with the mouse as you approach, which activates the 'climb down ladder' thing.

Squirrels climb trees and gutters and bird feeders, NOT ladders, young feller! I can get on the ladders and climb just fine... it's getting OFF!!!

- perhaps I get too distracted by all the shiny objects about the place...

Thanks Propbeanie. It was fun, especially the comments and funny squirrel pictures.

If you need help with the mods Eichhörnchen , ask, although TheBerbster is the SH5 "Guru " here.

I was going to purchase SH5 a while back when there was a backlash here and elsewhere regarding the DRM fiasco. Even though it has been somewhat resolved, I never went back to purchase it. I need to get it. I'm glad you are enjoying it.

Here in the LA area, I've seen squirrels crossing streets by running across power and phone lines suspended over the street; have often wondered if any of them have ever gotten a jolt...

Calling CW... your nutsack is full of messages so I am unable to PM you. Kindly bury some of them, will you? Thank you

(I need some tech-help)

My apologies Eichhörnchen. Please try again and of course, I will help if I can.

Eichhörnchen · 09-09-17, 01:52 PM

It's nearly time for me to get my nuts out again... in the meantime here's the funny pet-pic I forgot to post last time

Oh my gosh, eisenwurst... you're supposed to Whack! the squirrel, so that he survives the incident, recovers, and Eichhörnchen can re-use him again later! That poor fellow's crown is now covering his jewels, and might never see the light of day again!...

I do believe though, that Eichhörnchen has been peeking in my living room window and taking pictures of my cat... "Fat" does not describe her though... - and he better not be peeking through other windows from his tree, either...

(propbeanie gets the points for that one then)

I kiss him better ( platonically ). Cartoon onamatapea (spelling?) painless they tell me.

You need to say the magic word... you can't afford to get left behind
