I have always been enamored with "social" insects like bees, wasps, and ants. I _loved_ SimAnt as a child. It also blows my mind that I utterly balk at eating insects but bee vomit is totally cool.

    Oh cool! I am doing the tutorial and it told me to click on "MAP" which I did, and then nothing happened. :( Any ideas?

      Did it say to click on map or Window menu -> map? https://i.imgur.com/LbCx8jQ.png https://i.imgur.com/LbCx8jQ.png

        Window menu -> MAP, so I assumed it was "MAP". Where is the "Window menu" exactly?

        It's at the top of the game window: https://i.imgur.com/xqh2rrY.png https://i.imgur.com/xqh2rrY.png

SimAnt and SimEarth were my faves as a kid!
