Oh my I have put so much into this build, and I am still not quite finished but I wanted to share what I have done so far with everyone! I am getting ready to go on day four with building this lot, by far the longest, most detailed build I have created in any of the Sims games.
I am really nervous to what kind of feedback I am going to get, but here we go. I am trying to make this lot as playable as possible. That is my main goal. Not everything is going to look exactly as it should. Why? Because I am fitting it all into one lot. Seeing as how my 64 x 64 lots are already taken in my Harry Potter themed save, this is where it ended up. Its turning out bigger than I thought, but I am really liking how it is going.
This lot includes: The Leaky Cauldron, with two muggle shops on the outside to give it a more "realistic Harry Potter" feel. Then it parts into a hidden back alley where you will find Flourish and Blotts, Olivanders, an apothecary, Gringotts, and Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Right beside the joke shop is an eerie alley way. That's right. Knockturn Alley. Here you will find a little pub, another apothecary (catering to the dark arts), a shop I am not sure what will be yet, and Borgin and Burkes.
I have quite a ways to go with this build, but I feel it is a little over half way finished and wanted to share it with everyone!
Also I wanted to point out that I am not using ANY custom content in this build!! This lot is CUSTOM CONTENT FREE!
Some pictures will be dark, and some will be light as I sent my Molly Weasley into the build to test it at about 1 am lol. I am starting from her and Arthur as young adults, building their skills, and having their children in order (: Charlie Weasley was just born and Bill absolutely did not like having a sibling! Boy, is he in for a surprise
This is the front of the lot. You can see Gringotts in the background, and 2 muggle shops (a cafe and a boutique) along with The Leaky Cauldron on the corner. I have went by the first film for this.
The front of the Leaky Cauldron
In the Leaky Cauldron based on the Prisoner of Azkaban film
One of the rooms in the Leaky Cauldron
Alley way into Diagon Alley
View into Diagon Alley. You can see Gringotts at the end.
This little shop on the left is Flourish and Blotts
Ollivanders
Okay, so I know the gnome is weird. lol. But It was what I chose for Weasleys Wizard Wheezes. Its goofy, and thats why I picked it because I couldnt get the man with the hat bust to sit properly.
The Apothecary
Gringotts
This creepy alley leads to Knockturn Alley
The first couple of shops. Pub is at the end, towards the wall and is great place for Death Eater's to hang
Dark Arts Apothecary
And Borgin and Burkes at the end
