Sims2 and Harry Potter
Hey everyone!

Hope we all enjoyed Half Blood Prince, don't know about you, but it's my favourite so far - the best and the saddest book ever!! Onto my fourth time reading it at the moment...

Anyway, I'm sure, like a lot of you out there, I'm addicted to both the sims2 and Harry Potter. We're all out there, searching for that perfect school robe, or Harry's scar, or wand, or our own version of the Burrow.

I had an idea, that we could maybe, in a group, gather all of these items, or links - with the creators permission of course - and pop them all on one website to make life a little easier. Just an idea, but let me know what you think, because of anyone out there would love to lend a hand, that'd be great.
I haven't made a website in a while, but I can do my best, but alas, I'm at a loss as how to mesh or recolour- Having troubles using photoshop. Is there a button at all to fill colour?? There is in paint.... Grr...

Anyway, let me know if you would like a page to go to, or if you have item you'd like to share. I'd be greatly appreciative.

Trying to get my neighbourhood of Hogsmeade up and running, but me, can't do it until I have everything I need

So yeah, let me know!! We could even use this thread for all the links. Just an idea anyway.

Happy Simming!

I think this is a brilliant idea, should run it past admins though just to make sure gathering links here is an ok thing to do. Web page idea sounds good too but alot of work those things are.

You can use the magic marker to select what you want, then do edit>image>hue saturation to change it, or if you want to fill with solid colour, use the same paint bucket tool as in paint, or select what you want and choose Edit>Fill.

yeah this would be a great Idea! I still can't find a hogwarts that i think is 85% there but...I've seen good ones. anyways I made a wand..(keep in mind im not a great mesher so it's not wonderfully perfecrt but it's a wand!) and you could use it as a wand or something.

Over at sims2community, there is a project development forum. If you want to PM the people who have made the items and invite them in, you could create items and buildings together as a team and put them colaboratively on one big post...but you MUST get their permission first

I found a website that I've saved and it has one of the best Hogwarts I've seen. The link is http://www.webalice.it/mikebur50/index.html and mind you, this link is in a different language.

Anyways this will be my last post here today.. i don't want to get on anybody's nerves. I think a website is a great idea. would take a lot of work and be neat to just combine everything so we don't need to search for that certain thing and everything could be laid out. i looked at the links above and some of it.. no offence isn't very good. but thats my opinion anyways.

To everyone who has answered, cheers You all rock!!
I'm getting on it and will PM everyone. I figure, if I can grab that forum or something and have links to everything, like modthesims2 and stuff it should be okay. It just means you'll have to be a member to get the dl. Which is okay, cos registration is free.
No paying for anything, cos I can't afford to pay, I don't expect anyone else to. Life has been a lil hectic atm, but tonight I'll definately be on it I'll be PMing all of you and checking out all these sites. I figure, even if Ican't grab a page I'll just get one of those blog's or something, and have the links there. As I said the lethe_s I had a great idea for the web address to be harrysims.com or something, but alas, can't afford to buy a site.
Thanks again to you all and I'll be in touch. And I'll go check out this hogwarts....
On my fourth time reading HBP - it makes me said when I see the character's name that dies - cos I know what's going to happen..
WA!

This is the best idea ever!
I don't have enough robes for making group scenes like the Quidditch world cup ... everyone kinda wears the same 4 or 5 robes.
During my re-read I felt sad when I saw ...'s name too : (

By far the best thing I have heard on here!I am also "addicted" to the sims and harry potter. I have several links that we could use with the owner's (Carrigon) permission. There are crystal balls, and wands. Please notify me!
