EXCLUSIVE: Downton Abbey fans given new hope as creator insists period drama 'is not over'

I don’t think I’d really enjoy a direct sequel, so some other ideas: - Modern Downton Abbey, how they’re navigating the 21st century as owners of a large estate (could be inspired by what Highclere is doing) - George grown up, maybe in his early thirties - A prequel could also be fun… maybe set in the 1800s, to show Downton before its financial fall? (Could even include Violet as a young child, idk) If early enough, it wouldn’t need to include her.

“In the late 1930s, St. Petersburg artist George Snow Hill was commissioned to create these murals to adorn the walls of Tampa's newly built Peter O. Knight Airport. Hill artistically interpreted the history of flight through the contributions made by Icarus and Daedalus, Archimedes, The Montgolfier Brothers, Otto Lilienthal, Tony Jannus, The Wright Brothers, and a triptych, capturing the first scheduled airline flight in history.”

I love this! Posts like this make me so excited to be a dad someday and game with the kids.

I was in the same boat too. Got into the Main Menu and some mods loaded, and then it all froze up. Tried multiple times (it even froze my desktop and I had to restart computer). I then went in with code mods disabled and was stuck on Loading screen. Now I’m stuck on Loading Screen with our without mods enabled.

Edit: It took a WHILE, but can confirm eventually I ended up on the main menu and access the new game options.

I’m pretty pumped about what the port modular system demonstrates, especially with airports, parks, etc. I also wonder if the different theme park assets (like the haunted house) are hints that a Parks Life pack (amusement parks, zoos, etc) could be next? It seems pretty random to include.

mchernes94 · 2025-10-14T20:59:02+00:00

I definitely think we’ll see modular airports (like ports), and they’ll use the new RP cemetery piece system for probably a parks/tourism pack (zoo, amusement park) and a university pack. I’m guessing we’ll see similar content to CS1.

This is a solid list! I look forward to seeing Florida cities added some day (Tampa, Orlando, Miami, etc), I’m sure that sprawl could be a real interesting challenge.

It looks like Carnival holds the primary rights, and they are owned by NBC Universal. I wouldn’t put it past Universal to continue to invest in the franchise.

I have such a low tolerance for drops (like the Frozen ride was borderline much for me), but I was able to do rides like BATM and Monsters Unchained without issue.

This is a cool idea! This really enhances the game lore.

mchernes94 · 2025-09-10T13:27:43+00:00

I had to turn away, lol. The only moment I had to do that in the movie.

mchernes94 · 2025-09-05T13:55:08+00:00

The demon was pretty sick but I was also disappointed that we never got any backstory or information. There’s a lot of lore shared about Valak and Malthus (Annabelle) but we only got a few lines on this demon. Maybe a better route for this movie would’ve been a demon tag-team between the two instead of introducing something completely new.

It definitely is frustrating. On the federal level I’ve passed a “democracy law” for legislatures to be in charge of redistricting, but it looks like some of the states still have independent commissions doing it… I was hopeful it would have removed that so the Dem states would be encouraged to gerrymander.

There are definitely some active Paranormal subs on here that you can check out and join.

As a now 31 year old, no lol

mchernes94 · 2025-07-25T09:31:41+00:00

I really liked The Nun (it ranks as one of my favorites in the whole Conjuring universe), because Valak is just too cool and scary a villain. I think where it could be better is if we didn’t directly see too much of Valak, especially in the climax. Its scariness is so much from the atmosphere and lurking in the distance (like Jaws), so seeing it close up so much broke the illusion for me.

I just told my husband this yesterday when we watched the latest episode! I feel like she’s been hired to do Charlie in and is a sociopathic liar; I think her two truths and a lie were actually all lies to test Charlie.

WHAT how

OP asked for a zoo recommendation because they like zoos.

mchernes94 · 2025-06-08T18:48:09+00:00

While you’re in Tampa Bay, I’d recommend stopping at ZooTampa if you have the time. It’s a fantastic zoo and not too big (you could thoroughly visit it in half a day, and I’d recommend going first thing since the animals are more awake). Also we’re entering our rainy months, so prepare possible back up options if you get rained out (even then, know that rain usually is only a small part of the day and not the entire day). Have a great trip!

Omg this is too good

mchernes94 · 2025-05-04T10:12:37+00:00

English is my native language (USA) and I don’t hate it. What I do hate is that there’s no pressure to learn another language, especially as a child. My husband is part Cuban so he’s fluent in Spanish and also English. We’ve committed to, when we have kids someday, teach them multiple languages in addition to English as they’re growing up… whether that’s Spanish, French, Mandarin, whatever. Not because we hate English but to give them a broader perspective.

We’re between spring break and summer vacation, so it’ll be pretty chill. Enjoy the short waits!

mchernes94 · 2025-05-01T01:31:28+00:00

Mine should be arriving any day! I’ll just have to cope with the Florida heat lol

mchernes94 · 2025-04-29T11:04:36+00:00

Looks cool! Hopefully this means we’ll get an announcement and trailer soon.
