HEY!


I have a "Simblr" now: http://themalle.tumblr.com/
So if you're on Tumblr follow me. ;) I just needed a place where I could dump all my pictures that usually just rot away in my print screen folder.

PART 1

So finally it's here! If I had to give thisa name it'd be called:
Show your true (house) colours! Pretty Clever, eh?

Included in the collection are:

4 recolours of Kativip's garland
4 recolours of this flag by Kativip
5 (plus a slightly more faded Gryffindor one) shields
4 recolours of this Uni mesh
and 4 of another Uni one.
Everything's compressorized, a collection file and the meshes are included.


Now lets see how I used them. ;)
Click play to get in the right magical mood! ;)

HI-HOHOHO

Please bear with me as I'm eagerly working on releasing all the stuff.
I have a whopping 220 files to wade through (and that's without meshes, yes) and pack in to little christmassy gift collection files, so I have absolutely no idea where to start! There's the dungeons, the Great Hall, the dorms, the common rooms, the class rooms, the hospital wing, the library aso....HELP!

Anyway, if you're one of those people like me who always kind of thought "Gosh, a Harry Potter neighbourhood that would be rad, but where do I even start??" here are a few links that helped me tons while building my own Hogwarts:

Basically everything Adele has ever made - YOU.WILL.NEED.IT, believe me!

Kativip's stuff was mighty useful, too.

Since the magical world is kind of set in this pre-electricity time, medieval stuff was needed, lots of it!

The go-to source obviously, they have LOTS of great stuff.
Lama has the best walls and floors.
This list was a lifesaver!
An alchemy set with some quite useful knick-knacks, fireplaces and my fav book cases, too.

Then there is the whole lot of Sims Medieval conversions, Roman did lots and so did Chimerical. Clutter-a-holic has the best, well...clutter.

Bodyshop stuff for your Hogwart-lings that I like:

Cloudlessnights made a very good uniform with cloak at MTS.

I really love this suit with the jacket by Yuxi in combinations with one of Daislias Hogwarts scarfs! (they're adult only obviously, my students are YA since I built Hogwarts as a university)

Chaz' Hermione has a neat Hogwarts sweater/tie/shirt combo included
(I'm not very talented when it comes to Bodyshop, but I should tackle this thing at some point and make it unisex and in all house colors)

If you've got all these things you are basically ready to go, but keeping an eye open for sets with little knick-knacks that could be useful and potentially magical is a must! ;)

Then there's always the difficulty of actually building Hogwarts. Lots of people have managed to do so, I tried to build my own, more or less successfully. I wanted to have it as one lot without my laptop crashing and burning, so I had to scale down a bit. It's not perfect, cause I'm horrible at building but it does the job (the entrance to the Slytherin common room is through the potions class room, cough, haha). Personally, I would give it a try and build it to your likings and at a size your computer can handle, otherwise have a look at the ones I linked.

Alright, bye for now, I'll hopefully have the first set up next week, so stay tuned!

HIYA!

Well hello! I'm actually still around and lurking, so this didn't go unnoticed.
Thanks so much secret-maker, I feel flattered that I'm not completely forgotten yet, even though I never update, haha!

Truth be told, I'm actually working on a gigantic, way too demanding project of building my own "little" (kind of a contradiction in itself, no?) Hogwarts. In the process quite a few things needed to be created which always went something like this:

Lets make those dorm rooooms! Woooh!

Wait wait wait. I don't have any four poster beds in the house colors?

Great! Now I have to make some...

Maybe I should make some flags too. Oh and I need lots of paintings.....

Firing up the game! I'm awesome!

NOOOO, I don't have any matching drapes!

Anyway, look, this is my trio and the common room. :D


I'm not really sure yet how I'm gonna do this thing, release the stuff while I'm working on it or put everything up for download once I'm done with the whole thing.
We'll see, stay tuned. Peace.

Hi

Hi guys, told you I'd be lazy again, haha. Anyway I just wanted to share a few things I made over the last few weeks (month?).
First of all I needed a few new nice rugs. I love these by kaputtgeliebt but they're often not big enough for my likings so I made these on Mango's mesh.

Includes 10 recolors, mesh is included, everything's compressorized!
DOWNLOAD!

Then I also made 3 recolors of this cute little sofa by kativip. I must admit, being German I find a few of her Nazi inspired sets a bit uncomfortable, tribute or not, but I guess that's what the delete button was invented for...

Anyway comes in 3 colors, mesh is included & everything's compressorized.
DOWNLOAD!

And last but not least I made 4 recolors of this nice shelf with pictures by Billyjean.


Comes in 4 different versions and with various shelf recolors, mesh is included, compressorized.
DOWNLOAD!

PS: What's your opinion on direct linking the download links? I've read that Mediafire gives some people without Adblock trojan viruses so I thought this might be a quite convenient alternative!?

BACK FROM THE DEAD

Hm, so what do you say after disappearing for half a year? Ah never mind, have loads of Sims candy!





First I have a living room set which contains: a sofa by Hek (without the pillows of the original mesh) with 6 recolors, 2 matching pillows in different sizes by Jope with loads of mix & match ready recolors, a matching end table by OM, an armchair by MT cakestore (with quite big textures which increase the the file size drastically), a silver/white table lamp by DOT in 2 sizes (just one pictured), a white recolor of Simsinparis curtain, non-Second Life pictures for Cassandre's lovely frames (better get the whole set cause I just included the white frame recolors), another table lamp by Jope, a small Buddha head by dgandy completely in white and a rug by Simcontrol.

DOWNLOAD!
all meshes included, compressorized + collection file (hooray)



And then there's this set with loads of different paintings.
YELLOW STARS Simplelife's new shelf mesh set that also includes paintings, some more of the motives are pictured in the preview of the living set.
PINK STARS 5 recolors of OM's slightly angled painting.
WHITE STARS 5 recolors of Kansascityrose's floor painting. (I'm being an obvious Lost in Translation fan again...)
TURQUOISE STAR Sorry for the small picture and total chaos, but this is one little recolor of Vitasims' golden picture frame which is included with the next set, soooo sorrrry.
NO STAR(...) One-tile Simsinparis curtain in white.

DOWNLOAD!
all meshes included, compressorized + collection file




This is the second picture set with the rest of the paintings: 3 recolors of one of Vitasims' 3 horizontal paintings, 3 (only 2 pictured cause really similar) recolors of Jope's floor paintings and, yeah, the little golden Vitasims frame.

DOWNLOAD!
all meshes included, compressorized + collection file




For the last set I turned two of my favorite tables a little darker (white & red star, I'm a bit compulsive about everything being dark wood in my game) and also included 3 clock recolors on Steffor's mesh.

DOWNLOAD!
all meshes included, compressorized + collection file

ENJOY!

PS: Okay I can't do this without any explanation. Lets just say my plans/aims/dreams came true and I've been a busy and happy Au-Pair in LONDON since the end of July with other things than Sims on my mind. But now that I've settled down a bit, worked out some technical difficulties with my game and have overcome my creative burnout I'm all new and fresh, but well still the old lazy Malle so don't expect tooooo much activity.

hiii!

O-M-G! It's been one month, BUT my exams are over! Done! I'm so happy! :)
To celebrate that I uploaded some of the stuff I made over the last couple of weeks, no months, but never released out of laziness. So here you go (all meshes are included btw):


DOWNLOAD POSTERS!

DOWNLOAD PILLOWS!

DOWNLOAD TABLECLOTH & PICTURES!

DOWNLOAD BV PANTINGS!

DOWNLOAD CASSANDRE PILLOWS!

DOWNLOAD EYES! (one is not pictured cause...well I just forgot)

You can tell that I go lazier with every preview, haha...

Marianne Faithfull - As Tears Go By (aw I just love her, cute as a button that lady)

PS: I finally have a new laptop, can you tell? I realized that my old graphic card obviously was THE SHIT, cause it was like 5 years old and I can't even really tell a big difference to the new one (but it's a lot faster, thank god!) which is actually pretty good.
