Harry Potter Collection: Train Stations (Hogsmeade and King's Cross)



IMAGE OF MODERNIZED VERSION OF KING'S CROSS


INFORMATION
No Harry Potter Collection would be complete without lots that include the Hogwarts Express! I created 2 lots to showcase the train. The first lot is the Hogsmeade Train Depot. The second lot is my Sim version of King's Cross Train Station. I KNOW this is not a perfect replica, but I hope I have captured the spirit of King's Cross. The Hogwarts Express is smaller in the King's Cross lot because I lost myself focusing on the station itself - Sorry! However, the Hogwarts Express on the Hogsmeade lot is much more roomy(with a small engine and 4 boxcars - one for each Hogwarts' House). The boxcars each have an empty cabin (perhaps for bathrooms or snack rooms), a private cabin that seats 4 and 3 rows that seat 6 Sims. Both lots are included in this download. Now your Sims have access to two of the many portals between the Muggle and Magical Worlds!

THANK YOU!

Thank you to the following artists for helping to bring a little "magic" to the Sim World: Be sure to browse the links at the end of the post for other fabulous downloads by each artist!

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLLECTION
This set includes both residential and commercial lots. There are a total of 25 download pages (with 34 individual files to download) in this collection.


THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
First:
All stephanie b. walls, floors and ground covers included in houses downloaded from MTS2 can be used in lot creations on any free or pay site as long as I receive credit for the textures. Please do not post my textures (walls, floors or groundcovers) or lots on other sites without my permission or reupload them as your own by giving them color face-lifts without giving me credit for the original design. Thank you!

Second:
These lots are creations from my imagination based mainly on excerpts from the books and on-line information. I am basing very little on the movie versions of each place, so don't expect exact replica's of movie versions of the various places in the Magic and Muggle World.

Third:
My vision for this neighborhood is that the students do not "live" in Hogwarts. I see the school as home to only a few teachers (Dumbledore, McGonagall, Trelawney). Everyone else is spread out in either their family homes or in the Summer Houses.
