Harry Potter Collection: Lovegood Home



HOUSE INFORMATION
The Lovegood Home is a whimsical place at the top of a hill. It is near the Burrow, but hidden behind hills. Luna and Xenophilius Lovegood live there. Ron compared the exterior to a chess piece, a Rook. It is black and dark on the outside, but wild and colorful on the inside. There is a stream where Luna catches Plimpies and all sorts of wonderful little creatures and objects in and around the home. I felt very limited when trying to create this house as there were so many things I wanted to include that simply do not exist in the Sim world like a black door with studs and an eagle knocker, printing press, a table made of newspaper, newspaper stacks, individual newspapers, an Erumpent horn (silver, spiral horn that hangs), hanging creatures using the "Unlikely Whale Sculpture" by EA (Maxis), a picture for a table of blond Luna and mother, a bust of Rowena Ravenclaw with a headress, etc. While I don't have these objects, I do believe I did the best job possible recreating the Lovegood Home. It is very whimsical and captures many aspects of the house: zig-zag sidewalk, signs on fence, Rook-like in appearance, colorful (especially the kitchen and Luna's Room), etc.

ADDITIONAL DOWNLOADS!
Although the following item is NOT included in the download, I thought it would add a little authenticity to the Lovegood Lot:
The "Cartoony" Owl by Cazkiwi can be found here: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=110806

INCLUDED IN THE ZIP
The animations file for Marvine's Spiral Stairs is included in the zip. Be sure to add it to your downloads folder before entering the lot!

MY TEXTURES:
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!

NOT A CARBON COPY:
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.

MY VISION FOR HARRY POTTER NEIGHBORHOOD:
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.

MY SOURCE:
I used the floorplans found on the Harry Potter Lexicon site as inspiration. For extensive Potter INFORMATION, checkout the HP Lexicon here: www.hp-lexicon.org
