So, you want to be a wizard?

Dear Simmer, I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to this project of a most particular sort. Please find enclosed a list of all works currently in progress and wishes to be fulfilled. Term begins as of 2025. I await your owl. Yours sincerely,

Changeling An American Obsessed with British Literature

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good, and I don't care who knows it at this point. A decade ago, while still haunting the forums of Garden of Shadows, two simmers who shared a love of Harry Potter dreamed a dream. It all started when Dea Ex Machina, otherwise known as @haut-gothique, and I managed some mischief by co-creating a tiny offering for the Magic and Fantasy monthly theme back in 2011. And, well, the rest has been history ever since.

Chocolate Frog Cards

Works-in-Progress

Below is a list of projects I have in the works that are inspired by both the books and movies. Have an idea for something related to what's in the queue? Messages with requests, suggestions, and/or inspiration are very welcome! If it's in my skillset, I'll be more than happy to make it possible.

Harry Potter and the Magic Rock Part I | Part II

Harry Potter and the Hidden Room

Harry Potter and the Convict of Alcatraz

Harry Potter and the Hot Cup

Harry Potter and the Fire Bird Club

Harry Potter and Some Royal Dude

Harry Potter and the Dead Stuff

And yes, the titles have been Americanized since we obviously can't tell the differences between philosophers and sorcerers on this side of the pond. Other sets: Ollivanders Wand Shop Eeylops Owl Emporium Great Hall Gryffindor Common Room Slytherin Common Room Hagrid's Hut Care of Magical Creatures Ravenclaw Common Room Hufflepuff Common Room

Wish List

And now for the wishes! Below you'll find a list of items that I wish existed for The Sims 2 but sadly either don't have the abilities to make possible or haven't started just yet. See something that interests you? Let's collaborate to make it happen!

Harry Potter & Devil May Cry Conversions I by Apollo at Garden of Shadows

[feydecay-blog]

I got Hogwarts Legacy on the Switch a few months ago, and wanted everything for TS2! I found two ts4 creators, josiph031 and Remysa, who had converted items from Hogwarts Legacy and other Harry Potter games, and went on a converting spree!

Here is a closer look at the smaller objects...

The mannequins I think are made from TS4 meshes.

And a look at the Hogwarts Express (3 objects: engine, tender and carriage) and Whomping Willow:

Most are in Deco-> Misc; plants are in Plants, Ravenclaw statue is in Sculptures, and Mirror of Erised is in Mirrors. Wall mounted items are in Deco -> Wall.

The Quidditch Chest, Snitch, Quaffle and Bludger re-use the GUIDs of my earlier conversions, they have the same names so let them overwrite the old files. The Blackboard is my old conversion with some extra recolours.

Please note that some of these items are quite high-poly, so they should be used sparingly.

@feydecay-blog asked about some Hogwarts-themed recolors I did many moons ago, a big part of which I never shared (scatterbrained teenager much?). Fortunately I was able to track down everything on my old hard drive. Slightly niche content, but maybe some of it is still useful. DOWNLOAD HERE I've included a collection file for easier browsing.

[feydecay-blog]

There's only one place we're going to get all this.

I'm too late for Halloween this year, but wizards and witches need to shop for the yuletide too, right?

Recolors of Adele's Liam doors and windows, Beautyfulnerdkitty's conversions of Simmerberlin's and Analogica's Shop Fronts, Fakeblood's conversion of Kerriganhouse's sign and jon 119's sign.

Adele's meshes can be found: HERE

Other meshes are included.

I'm really going to show my age here, but some of my favorite clutter is 10+ years old now. Wayyyy back in the day, Black Pearl Sims used to be THE place to go for some great decorative objects that added a lot realism to the game. My personal favorites were creators like Cassandre, Nemestnaya, and Leehee/Billyjean, and you can find their work here now:

Be sure to thank Ekrubynaffit for making that content available again!

And an honorable mention has to be given to 8-3 Studio, who also shared a lot of cute items for all sorts of categories. Once again, Ekrubynaffit is to thank for bringing back a lot of lost content here: https://nz.pinterest.com/tiffanyburke79/sims-2-8-3-studios-files/

As a side note, a great resource I stumbled upon a few months ago is this LiveJournal: https://ano2uk.livejournal.com/ Some of the links actually still work, too.

Good luck cluttering your spaces to your heart's content!

guys, where on earth do you find decent sims 2 clutter? i've been scouring the internet for clutter for the past 30 minutes and i can't find a damn thing :( mainly just 4t2 clutter, but even then it's just a few packs

[feydecay-blog]

Great success! The first of many sets from TS4 I have planned to convert. Everything aside from the framed cameo is functional, with a custom broken state for the kerosene lamp. Huge thanks to Maya40 for her assistance with the broken glass for that object.

DOWNLOAD As always, everything is labeled and compressed, and please alert me to any issues. Originally created for TS4 by MeadowSims here, with my greatest thanks for making an antique camera!

Part II

Another easel paint brush replacement using another Leoz94 converted object from Bioshock: Infinite. Reminder: there can be only one! This will overwrite the previous file I created in Part I.

Even though the marvelous @msbarrows abandoned us left the TS2 community over a decade ago, her lovely creations are still essential for any Victorian game. These are her Victorian textures on the painting frame as default replacements, and I sincerely cannot believe I didn't think of this sooner! The paintings featured here are from Part I. SWATCH

The Independent Expressions Inc. Easel edited to remove the paint tubes in the tray and with a dark texture replacement, then recolored using Aweeshie's volatile retexture as a base in Aelia's Eco Naturals.

SWATCH

The grilled cheese paintings from FreeTime replaced using 19th century artwork featuring food.

And now for the bonus goodies! This is Steffor's Fairy Easel heavily edited to remove the clutter and updated with @belladovah's edits to AnoeskaB's easels. My object will replace the original. I've also included the recolors @riekus13 did in this amazing set that inspired me to finally complete this upload.

This is Gorey's conversion of an Awesims' painting that Malle recolored ages ago that I was able to separate into two different subsets: frame and painting. (Hooray for new skills!) The file name has been changed and will overwrite the original object in the game as it has the same GUID. Frame recolors are Malle's originals with Victorian art.

SWATCH

A Bioshock easel converted by @leoz94, updated with BellaDovah's easel edits and adjusted to be recolorable. Lately I've been on a quest to make a lot of game conversions functional, and this object is perfect for 19th century games.

In the never-ending quest to improve old content, Maya40 at the Historical Sims Discord was kind enough to fulfill a request from me to remap Taroo's Atelier Canvases. The textures are vastly improved, and I've made additional objects with Taroo's originals. Too many paintings were used in this creation to include a swatch, but several are used in the above preview pictures. Thank you for the lovely work, Maya!

And last, but certainly not least, as I get the feeling I'll be revisiting the entire set someday, is the canvas storage object from Tinkle's The Artist set edited to have two subsets and recolored. The wooden frame is a separate subset from the paintings, and I also created a collection of those same paintings grouped together on the floor.

All files have been renamed and compressed with a collection file included. Many thanks to all the creators whose works I used in parts or whole to make this set possible and The Society Papers gang for their patience while I sorted this out! As always, feel free to use and abuse anything included in this set, and let me know of any errors. Enjoy!

Victorian Paintings

15 Lady in Red recolors 2 BV Travel Poster recolors

Swatches included. Files Numbered.

Lady In Red Photos are flipped from the original painting (oops!) but the swatch is accurate. It doesn’t bother me. Also, all files are labeled with the artist’s name, not a description of the painting, so use the numbers and the numbered swatches to delete ones you don’t wish to keep.

The ornate frames on Lady in Red and the BV Poster paintings are the slaved version created by CuriousB. Get them here.

First painting creation! Yay! I am sure I will be obsessively making paintings from now on.
