Woohoo! Another satisfied Potter fan...

All I can say is one word WOW!

wow so beautiful and it looks exactly like in the movie! to bad I don't have ambitions T.T

Thanks so much. Another Harry Potter fan well satisfied

I am having problems too!! I cannot get my sims to go through the front door of the house. Now if i open the garage and get them through the back way they will go into the house just fine. There must be something up with the front door.

Other than that I am really impressed with the attention to detail you put into this house. It really does have the familiarity of the house from the film.

Love love love the look of this house. Thank you. But everything is so squished together its completly unusable, my sims cant even get in the door because the stairs is too close to it. They cant get in the kitchen because the counter is too close to the door etc.

Would you be able to stretch it out so its usable. Pretty please? Its a really great house its just such a pity my sims cant use it! I spent an hour trying to edit it myself but I suck at building apartment style houses.

If you are worried that the upstairs will be too big if you stretch the downstairs- the book does say that there is 1 more bedroom, its a guest room (the one aunt Marge stayed in)

I have all the exppansions and stuff packs. I really think the issue people are having is that its too "squished".

Hey it looks really like the movie!
Tho' why is this in apartments section? shouldn't it be in residential?

Nevermind, I missed the mailboxes on the first photo and when the photo was small I thought they were two, haha my bad. Anyways, really good job!

This is a really awesome house- but I keep getting random sims just walking in (even when door is locked to my househould only)...
Is anyone else getting this?

Oh my God. This is awesome. I love Harry Potter!

It is awesome that you took time to do this! I don't think that I would have the patience, so I appreciate it when people are willing to do this and then share it with others. Thank you!

I just downloaded this and have the same problem as several other posters, my sims will not go in the front door. Whenever I try to make them, they start arm waving and thinking that they can't go through the door. When I click on the door and the Lock option, the options include "Everyone but Myself" and "Everyone but my Household". There is no option for only me or only my household. When I try to do anything in build or buy, I get a message that I can't do anything to units that I "cannot add, change or remove items outside of my unit", even when I'm trying to edit it from Edit Town with no sims moved in. When I choose to specify sims for that door, my sims are listed as allowed.

If I open the garage, they will go in and out through the back door, but clicking the "go home" button leaves them complaining at the front door again.

When one of my sims rang the bell next door, no one came out, but then I noticed a strange sim in the backyard. I used MoveObjects to put her out front, since she was complaining about not being able to use the doors, and she went into the dark unit.

Also, the call box that you have in your pictures isn't there.Edited to add I added a call box. It didn't make any difference. The lot is set to Residential, Apartment. And, yes, I have Late Night.

I'm sorry that you're having issues with it devaskyla. I can't say why you can't get in the house. It's a really strange bug that seems to only affect some people.

For the build/buy options, that's normal. You'll need to enter the cheats "testingcheatsenabled true" and "restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false" without the quotation marks. The game engine automatically sets the restriction once you've placed the room markers that turn the lot into an apartment. Once you enter the above cheats, you will be able to edit the entire lot, as if it were a regular one.

I'm having the same issues but the house worked fine before I patched to 1.67. Now my sims can't get in the house through the front door either and I tried stretching and even used a 1 tile door to fix the issue but nothing. Please help when you get the chance I love this house!

Hmm, I'm not sure what the coding could have changed in 1.67. I never patched to that and am still on 1.63. (I quit patching when twallan retired )

Haha don't blame you XD Twallan is awesome!!

Well done, this is amazing!

I found the problem with the lot and it is really easy to fix. It happens if the lot is moved or turned during placement. There is a hidden room marker that is left on the outside of the house and it is preventing the door from opening. To find it you have to open the cheat bar testingcheatsenabled true, then restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false, then buydebug, then go into build mode or buy mode and zoom out. You should see a black ball on the outside of the lot, delete it. I am building Little Whinging and made over a hundred copies of this house but luckily it only happened to 2 of them, which had been turned. Heaven, with your permission I would like to share the world, is that alright? It is designed as a travel world so if someone is playing in a Hogwarts world, Harry can travel home for the summers. The world is populated so Harry can move in with the Dursleys. I'm testing it now so please advice. Thanks!
