Magick bookcase

bookcasescreeny.jpg - width=162 height=389
could you help me test this?
the bookcase was made to match the wizard's study here: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=76263
my thanks to besen, as always, for helping with translations
made with Blender, PSP8, UV Mapper and SimPE 0.4
What does it do?
Basically, it's an ordinary bookcase, with a new mesh

Not sure if it actually counts as a hack, but I changed the pie menu to be more 'appropriate'.
So: Study/Cooking becomes Study/Herbology
Mechanical becomes Astronomy and Cleaning becomes Alchemy
Simmies will write in their Book of Shadows instead of their Diary
And students get to Research Spells
The thumbnails and actions stay the same as with the regular bookcase (there, they'll still be learning mechanical and such)
The pie menu is 'hacked' in these languages: English (both), French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese.
If you play in other languages, it will be an ordinary bookcase.
The info
Poly's: 972
Price: 445
Fun: 3
Recolour-enabled
Catalog entries for Dutch, German and French. Everyone else gets English.
I'm pretty sure that this will NOT work without Uni.
I've found the same codes as with the stereos, so it probably won't show up in your catalog. You're always welcome to try, of course :D
I've tested the package extensively in my own EP game and found no problems there.
Legals
You're free to recolour, hack, fiddle with this object, as long as you give credit, post a link to the original mesh in this thread and tell me all about it.
Please don't put this object in a downloadable lot, we don't want to scare innocent simmers.

Ok, please feel free to comment and tell me of any problems you may have.
Edit: I'm so sorry, you guys, I was so excited about my Half Blood Prince that I uploaded the wrong rar.file earlier

Please redownload. This one contains the actual package. The other has a bak.file. You can just delete that.

About Me
since I'm officially sorta retired as a modder, feel free to derive from my work to make new stuff!
You may use textures and meshes (a link or credit is appreciated) for movies, redo's, new creations, whatever.
You can also upload my meshes on other sites with your new creation, if you want. Again, a link to MTS is always appreciated, and a general cool thing to do.
Have fun,
Lethey
