Happy New Year Mr. Lambert! has a Xmas-Tree with lights in the house. BTW one of my favored FMs ever. :)

If you mean "Have a nice Holiday", it's for SystemShock 2, and it's not a winter mission (

The Lord Ashton Series has a winter mission (working since more than a year on the update, and I'm still in the 5th mission :tsktsk: )
The Night Falcon and the Curse of the Falcon has also some winter missions :)
Should I wait then? :p ;)
Hate to put you on the spot, but what is your favorite mission you've made? Which one do you think I should play first?
Also, I see "A Visit to Lord Ashton's" and "The Lord Ashton Series".. Does the 'series' contain the 'Visit' or are they separate?

The "Visit to Lord Ashton's" is the first mission in the series, so go for the series instead.
You can then choose between two versions. Christine's original version should still be around, but there's also a somewhat improved version made by Soul Tear one or two years ago. It has improved shadows and lighting as well as functional Secrets built-in. Worth a try as well. The same is true for the "Night Falcon" campaign, which, btw, has some snowy missions as well.

Ok, I'm sure this is the updated version at thiefmissions since the zip file is titled "..V2" and includes "eight missions".
Glad I asked about the series, since I downloaded 2 of the missions previously. I would have been playing them out of order.

"V2" is the currently latest version of the Lord Ashton Series made by Christine. Soul Tear's version, most likely based on this second version of Christine's campaign, is called "Lord Ashton Rework" or something similar. The file/campaign dates should also show whether it's one of Christine's versions (these are more than 10 years old) or Soul Tears reworked one, which is less than five years old.

I loved that FM, it was so funny, and just a joy to play.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Maybe I should make one :)

Oops. I should have put my reading glasses on. :cheeky:
I completely forgot that UBA is a Christmas themed T2 mission - My own mission. There's a key that's invisible on a guard's belt that I haven't fixed but you can play through the mission without it.

The Last Lighthouse Keeper by Eternauta. Very cozy, with a light Christmas theme.
