Hi @60smusicluvr , quickly touching base to ensure I'm on track with the colour scheme as a 'darker Victorian'. As requested, I'll be using blacks/browns/golds throughout as accents, furniture and mixed in the patterns and will be adding reds in the livingroom and small study. Was thinking to add a few other colours in the bedrooms, kitchen and perhaps the diningroom, keeping to the darker tones.
Below is my first take at the 2 bedrooms. Do you like the muted colours? Would you prefer I go with more vibrant versions? Would you prefer I keep to your requested colours only? This is my first Victorian so I would love to get your candid input.

It looks gorgeous, @soocoolsim! You are definitely on the right track.
Edit: You may go beyond my requested colors, if you like! I do love pops of color (like red!) ,however, if you wanted to keep the same kind of tone through the house that would be A-OK with me.
Cool @60smusicluvr . I've added rich reds to the small study/library and living room. Did you want to see more interior WIPs as I go along or shall I keep the rest as a surprise?

OK @60smusicluvr , will keep the rest for the reveal. Glad you're liking what I've done so far. I'm probably going to modify the colours for the second bedroom so it looks a bit more different from the first. If anything comes to mind you would like me to consider for the lot don't hesitate to post. I was thinking perhaps I could add a few activities if you wish since I do have some space to work with. HAGN

Hi @60smusicluvr , following up on my PM a quick update to let you know that I put in several hours tonight and testing is done. Was also trying to make the space in the octopus functional but had to scrap that idea since my sim just couldn't access the body. Ended up adding a gazebo in the backyard to bring in a bit of steampunk which I think works even better. The next couple of days are pretty solid so stay tuned. Getting closer

Thanks Rox. Recolours are my Achilles heel so I'm still back and forth on this.
Aw @60smusicluvr , the pic is so very cute. OK, just a little longer while I play around with options for the exterior colours. You probably don't want a white house

@soocoolsim Hiya! Checking in for my request, thank you again for taking it on!
Just an fyi, I am currently in the process of moving back home from university which has entailed a lot of stop and start work on my new room, and I am now working full time, so I will try to get back to you as quickly as I can, but if I pass out in a puddle of paint in my work uniform before I can reply I apologise!
LOL @Homeworker , do be careful and pace yourself. Hope you have lots of fun getting your new room into shape
Just a quick note re your request... due to the game limitations and because of the staggered levels in the yard, I'll need to make some minor tweaks however will do my best to be as close to the inspiration as possible. Since this is a shell I'll present the build to you at the end - unless you really would prefer to see WIPs

First coat of paint is almost done, ugh Sims makes decorating look so easy
I understand the game's limitations so any tweaks necessary are fine! I would like to see WIPs but if that is a hassle for you it's fine
Hi @Homeworker , posting my question here as well in case you missed it. PS: Ignore the colours, they will be tweaked for final version.
Hi @Homeworker , no hassle to show WIPs. I made great progress on your build then have a hiccup. Because of the different levels, I starting building from the rear using reference pics and this is a pretty large mansion. As such there is not much room left in the front. Other than totally rebuilding to push everything back which may only gain me about 5 spaces, I'm thinking I'll leave it as is which will also give you more room to add backyard activities later on.
Question: Would you prefer me to A) create a steep driveway in the front with terraced sides... or B ) keep the walk-down terrace and long driveway as shown in the screenshots below. Remember these are WIPs so will be fine-tuned later on.
* * * * * * * * * * Let’s keep in touch on Answers HQ until the new EA forums are launched in July!
Yippie @Homeworker , glad you chose B. It allowed me to add the celebrity gate at the end of the driveway in case your sims get famous in their lovely large house, heh heh. So a few more WIPs for you below. As you can see I've graded the yard space next to the pool to be a nature path rather than all dirt like the inspiration photo. You can easily flatten as you see fit based on whatever activities you may wish to add. Rear and sides are done; next up to complete the front

Just checking in! Thanks so much for taking my request! I'm really super flexible with this build. It's for a legacy challenge that I blog (if you are okay with that, credit will be given of course.) My biggest concern is space! I'd really like that one story, but again if it can't be done okay. And if you need to work on a bigger lot, I'm okay with that, too.
Thanks for checking in @Minx . Since you didn't require communication before building, I've started on your home and am making great progress. It's on a 40x30 lot and everything you requested is on one level. The home is wide so there's a bonus attic to add some height. You don't need to use the attic level, however it can be used as a play or skills area if you wish. Question: Would you prefer to see WIPs or shall I surprise you at the end?
