Chosen Halloween character: Old Hag.
Notes about entry:
This creepy Old Hag lives in this old, run down home. His motives and intentions are unclear as he is never seen entering or leaving. Is he real or is he only a legend? We will never truly know. The only thing we have are explorer's pages from the forgotten souls who were brave enough to venture to this old land. One was discovered and published in our small town. It read, " I have found a way in through a small crack in the foundation.. I have to write quickly and hope I am not heard or seen.. My story must be heard in case something was to happen to me.. If anything happens to me.. It's the Old Hag." It continues to tell us how he was able to make it into what seemed to be the main living space with a huge altar. He has no idea what it could be used for, although he mentions blood stains the walls and floors around it. Could this be a cannibal? Could it be.. a sacrificial altar? At the very end of the entry, he mentions there are books and books all over the main room full of an old language of symbols he cannot understand and has never heard of or seen before. They look to be spells but they will need further investigation. Nothing else was ever found from this explorer and no one has attempted to visit the Old Hag's house since. Are you brave enough to venture into the Old Hag's Home?
(the "altar" in the middle of the room is meant for backstory purposes, I know it doesn't make much sense with out reading the legend of the Old Hag who lives there. Also, the only thing not usable is the vase on top of the display in the middle of the room.)
The background story details to Old Hag’s House sounds scary! @JosieAnglin This is the link to your build. https://www.thesims.com/en_GB/gallery/33E0AE35ABD211E78EF9FCAB6C5DEC93
The exterior design of the home and the dormers look great! The tombstones, red bushes, and black stark trees look great in the outdoors areas! The bat, brambles and rips on the walls gives a great look to the build. The altar in the middle of the room sounds and looks very scary! The lighting is very effective ! The wall of bookcases with all the spell books in them looks great!

His aspiration and traits suit him well! He looks very scary also!

I had a hard time following the thread, I would like to write in detail about each park but you must know that I enjoy them all
I'm happy to see new faces I already have more than one year in the QC challenges, I feel is the moment in which more participants have been, right @Cbear13 ? I do not know how it was at the beginning of the game
BTW thanks for the maps @Cbear13 now I can stop googling the lots name
Hi @Cbear13 I just want to know if these are acceptable or not, the dry rose bush intersecting with the fence. and the small tree branches and leaves on the trees intersecting? I want to try my hardest not to break the rules
EDIT::
Also do you critique roofing, when the top part comes inside like this? I also had the problem of the roofings wall cover, overriding the insides wall colouring, so ive already had to change my grand plans once (actually probably 100x! why can't roofing be easier! )
@leashahampton I would make sure the dry rose bisges arent sticking into the fencing and same with the branches. Also with the roofing we dont normally critique that but we do fiddle to see if it could of been avoided sometimes it cant be so normally no we dont
Please be patient everyone for the rest of results ive woken with a bad cold today and just couldnt sit and judge hopefully will be feeling better and able to judge over the next few days. Sorry for delay
@leashahampton a little tip on the roofing, since it annoys the hell out of me during building all the time... dont pull it through make sections.
Kind of like this:
As you can see I just put the roofs up to the wall between the nooks.
And here in front of the nook it just goes to the wall of the nook, dragged it to the side so you can see it a bit better
Complete roof.
The inside view. On the right side you can see, that no roof part is clipping inside. While on the left room it is clipping inside, but that's because I added a fence in that room. This sadly breaks the roofs, hoping that the new roof patch will let me change that part of the mansard roofs, so that i can drag them to wall.
@Laebeth lol I havent had one in a while and this one was my own fault really I was super hectic for the last 4 days and ran myself to exhaustion every day so Im not surprised I ended up sick. If only life would stop for a few days so I could stay in bed lol
Hi everyone I have lowered the budget by 10k on current challenge as I dont usually have it as high for the smaller lot size. I havent changed the max budget amount though
Thank you @Cbear13 hopefully you get better soon! @crysk thank you for the tips!! I had tried similar but i was having problems with the edging show up. I will have a play round this afternoon again. I think my roof is made up of about 50 parts! The hard part is i want it to look like 1 big crazy but seamless roof EDIT: I have fixed it its not as clean looking on the outside, but it doesn't cut into the room now @crysk , i tried what you showed me, but i have a piece of fence as well, I took it out but i think the stairs, or maybe even the room underneath was still affecting it. Hopefully when pets comes out the roofs are easier AHH i cant wait for pets!!
@Cbear13 if only you had a twin could take care of real life than you could sim all you want wouldn't that be great hope you get well very soon
@Laebeth I find roofs are very hard to put together I can't make heads or tales out of it how to work it your roof made up of 50 parts my goodness love to see your design on the roof how you put it together
@rosemow A few days ago I was going to do a very scary halloween character build but couldn't it didn't work out so I choose this other character which I'm not sure if he is all that scary and just manage to do his house not the best looking my building skills aren't the best but I do try make it work so hopefully it looks scary enough if not at least I tried
I'm going to post my Halloween build tomorrow . I just need to play test and take screenshots. However, I don't think mine is scary enough, so, I'm going to enter unofficially. I've always been afraid of things that are too scary and horror movies, etc. I have a fun Halloween build with some pseudo scary parts, such as spiders, wall cracks and coffins in the intentionally inaccessible attic. I also have a fun Halloween character in mind whom I still have to create .
