Information (Click for more details): Direct link to this thread New Mesh

Finally your Harry Potter Sims can travel in style! These Harry Potter Travel Trunks are PERFECT for your Potter Sims!

This little addition to ALL THINGS POTTER was something I always wanted for my Sims! It was inspired by the Luggage and Cart set by MizzesSimmer. A slightly modified version of MizzesSimmer's luggage suitcase was used to create a mesh and texture map (with permission). The mesh was remapped so that it has 2 recolorable subsets (which allows mix and match). MizzesSimmer's Luggage and Cart can be found here:
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=243010

Note:The cart and the 2 luggage bags on the cart are from the original creation by MizzesSimmer.

This is a collaborative effort between Jason Duskey and myself. Jason modified the meshes in Blender, assembled everything in SimPE and recolored the packages.

I created the texture maps and reworked each recolor. Our teamwork once again has paid off!

There are two versions available for download here: a decorative version and a functional (dresser) version. Both versions "look" alike.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Both versions may be included in the game at the same time as they have separate GUIDs. One will not interfere with the other. You can place either version in the game separately or both versions simultaneously.

The decorative version was cloned from the "Sorrowful Scions" sculpture and is base-game compatible.

The functional version was cloned from the small "Atomic Kids" dresser and requires Pets.

Added a New Barbie Goth trunk called "The LAURA" - dedicated to my dear friend Lauralaima. You may have changed your avatar Laura, but unfortunately you still can't hide that Gothic Barbie Doll image!

Note: The Laura download contains the meshes for both the decorative and the functional trunks!

Additional Information:
*The animations on the functional version are slightly off. However, the dresser functions and the Sims will use them to quickly change into outfits!

* The building in the image is my Harry Potter King's Cross Train Station and can be found here:

* The Shopping Cart/Trolley is by AbstractSIMmer187 and can be found here:

ENJOY THE DOWNLOADS!

Additional Credits:
Thank you to MizzesSimmer for inspiring these trunks.

A special thank you to mi amigo Jason. Your commitment to helping with my little creations is phenomenal. I am always driven to be better at what I do when working with you!

Thanks for allowing me to share these with the Sim community!

the thing is that you english speakers have not many insulting words... I only know one or two and I don't want to call you that............... because deep inside you know that James rules!
....the words ''I'll kill you if you say that again'' fade into the distance....

And DD you'll have to waaaaaait a looooooooot to see our Gwyrich project... and I'm to blame...

We will battle 'til the last witch is standing. Me first..."Expelliarmus"! Laura's wand flies away and of course without your wand the forbidden Killing Curse is cast and there are no witnesses. Sorry Laura...It's been nice knowing you..."Avada Kadavra". smoke and then only a black spot remains where Laura once stood. All in a day's work for this mere English speaking Half-blood Princess. BTW - The headstone reads, "Here lies the disillusioned Laura - lover of bullies - aka James Potter -The Bore! R.I.P." With Laura out of the way... DD, I know you don't mind the wait because I KNOW just how many projects you have lined up. And I did love the latest image you shared. Great lot. I e-mailed you. Besides, oftentimes waiting brings greater treasure! Goodnight (or morning as it is) ...as today I shall be absent. I will return before midnight to check on my Victorian stuff as I already have a short list of fixes ! Ciao! steph I think I need to do 1 more recolor for the Harry Potter Trunks...1 with my son's name on it! That way, he can pretend to go to Hogwarts. Don't be jealous Laura because I know you want 1 too, but alas...you can't come back to the realm of the living to enjoy it! :D

lauralaima	.....mmmmm.... did I mention that you're a great person? I don't mind that you like Snape more than James,(who perfectly knew that he was bullying a future death eater...) I don't mind that you just pretended to kill me with that pathetic killing curse (I apparated before it hit me of course but you couldn't get to notice it, not enough level of legeremancy...)...now... would you make that recolor for me? that would be a hugely welcome gift!! Anyway, I know you're already making it! (not enough level of occlumancy...). I'm waiting for it THAAAAANK YOU SNAPE-LOVER OF DOOOOOOOOM Last edited by lauralaima : 24th Apr 2008 at 09:43 PM.

Hmmm....I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you are only communicating with me in spirit. I used the Priori Incantatem to recreate your demise so I can talk to you and formerly say goodbye. Besides, only the best of the best can apparate without a wand (Harry was a rare seed being able to do it so young and YOU are no Harry Potter). Seeing that I took your wand, you just were not able to escape the Killing Curse. There is no escaping death my friend unless you aim to be a mindless zombie! MUAHAHAHAH! :p Alright...You may live. Welcome back to the land of the living Laura! Hey, I might just make that Travel Trunk for you. It will be Barbie Doll pink with purple and blue flowers all over it! Gotta love me!

lauralaima	ohhhh, really? I knew you were going to make it that way! you know I love those colors specially the PINK. That'd be awesome, but don't forget to include one of the Hogwarts houses crests on it.... you'll have to decide which one

StephSim Original Poster Forum Resident Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 780 Thanks: 8279 in 71 Posts View My Journal	Hmmm... I'm thinking of a way to "personalize" the trunks. I have an idea, but I'm not sure how it will work. I must consult Jason first. Don't be surprised when I post "The Laura" - for the Gothic BARBIE! OUCH! I'm sure the little girl Potter fans will love the whimsical design! I shall map it today when I map my son's trunk. Of course, he wants to be sorted into Gryffindor. He tested as Ravenclaw, but what the heck. His favorite color is red, so Gryffindor it is!

I'm afraid I broke me precious foot and haven't been using my personal PC much lately. I don't do Sim things on the laptop. Soon...very soon. It's quite cute actually! Jason packaged it over a week ago. I just need to get to my computer and test it. BTW - It's called - The Laura!

I hate to rain on your parade Steph

but, the correct spelling is, Gwrych No i. It's reported to be the most haunted castle in Wales, Abergele, to be precise!

I actually don't know HOW that happened! It's spelled correctly in my projects folder, but I guess I reverted to the Old American Standard! Yes, I know of the haunting. We planned a rather unique execution for it, but I'm afraid it is permanently on hold! - Sorry Laura!

I try to stay away from all things Potter, but it seems in the New Year (with the movie coming out in the summer), I may get drawn back into it to create one more set of kid friendly, user friendly Potter lots. We shall see. Enjoy the downloads!
