Notes about entry: This is a total rebuild of a build I did months ago for a prehistory party non-competitive challenge. I had only just started entering challenges and didn't know half what I do now about building. I have wanted to fix and reupload my old builds for a while, and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to work on this one. I had no idea how bad it was and have been cleaning it up for hours and hours and weeks even. I almost threw in the towel when I saw so many similarities with Emere's build (Sorry @emere ), but then remembered my first build, @Rostri-Jodu had also created a hut on stilts with skulls on posts...so..I guess it's okay...they're different enough, right???? I have a ton of build notes on my slide show HERE The story is that Baba Yaga is a character from Russian folklore, but has other names in other countries across Eastern Europe. She lives in a hut atop a pair of chicken legs surrounded by skulls on posts with burning eyes. She eats anyone who enters her domain unprepared, but is known to reward anyone who completes the tasks she sets before them. She is believed by many to have once been a very important Goddess to the ancient Slavic people, demonized after the advent of Christianity and turned into a folktale villian. NOTE: I have tried to get this all neat and tidy, but I have put a ridiculous amount of time into it and may still have missed things. So, if you find too many things wrong, please don't waste your time going through the whole build. I have my fingers crossed that I did good, and hope I got it all.

Thanks so much @librashay and @rosemow. I'm shot. I'm going to have to check out everyone else's amazing builds in detail tomorrow. They all look incredible!
You have put so much time and work into Baba Yaga’s Hut ! @Ainsleyf The resulting build looks so very great! It was very nice looking at the picture of the build on your slideshow and reading what you wrote about each picture /section of the build. The exterior of the Hut and the design of the outdoors areas looks so very nice! It looks great how you have used the alien plants and the thorns for the chicken legs! The skulls look scary on the posts! The cow plant is great in the build! Very nice furnishing of the interior! The red and black colour scheme suits the home type well. The design of the kitchen and the clutter kitchen decor items in it looks great! It was good that no cobwebs are in the home, but scary that Vasilisa would have been eaten there if she hadn’t completed the tasks given to her and kept the home tidy! It is a nice touch that her doll that her mother gave her is in the home .
There are many great details about the home! It is a very creatively designed home to reflect the story !
OMG @Ainsleyf! I was thinking about doing Baba Yaga but was concerned on how to do her hut standing on a chicken leg. You've done her house way beyond what I imagined; it's really wonderful, cool and very creative. I'm really impressed!
Sorry for the belated congratulations @coolsim9999999 for winning the last sim challenge. I must have missed that post. Belated congratulations to @lisalittlesimmer, @librashay and @Laebeth for placing in the sim challenge. And thank you for nice comments on my witch house, @librashay!
Glad you're participating in the QC challenges @librashay! I think it helps push your creativity and improves your building skills. Plus you can learn cool tips and tricks from seeing the wonderful things the other simmers submit. There's always several builds each challenge that have me awestruck. And most of all it's fun!
Ok update on Snowflake for anyone whose following her progress. Today was a huge day we had the vet to sedate her and check her over and the farrier to come and fix up her poor neglected feet that were causing her so much pain.
It was a very successful day with everything going smoothly her feet are the length they should be but will need some time to heal, she will probably be quite sore still for a few days with learning to walk on her feet normally again but I will keep her happy with pain killers. Even though she was a bit scared she did wonderfully even before sedated.
She is standing 100% better and straighter so hopefully within a week I will have her pain free. The vet aged her around 14-15 years.
Here is some pics of her recovering from the sedation, I sat with her for a while and she just rested her head near me and went to sleep.
Glad to see Snowflake is recovering both her health and her trust in people, @cbear13. She looks like she might turn out to be a real sweetie. Yay Snowflake!
The pictures of Snowflake are special It is great that things today with the Vet and Farrier went smoothly. It is good that she is improving, and has progressed well. It is very nice that she rested her head near you and went to sleep. She knows that you care about her and are helping her feel better
Oh @cbear13, I'd love to hear how she does as she gets more comfortable and her personality starts coming out. I'm so glad that you and others are giving her the TLC she needs.
Lovely news on Snowflake recovery going really well @Cbear13 I like the up close picture of her we could just give her a pat ourselves she's a very lovely horse

The exterior design of Munsters 1313 Mockingbird looks great! @withlovejulien The tower, the roofing and layout of the build looks great ! The outdoors areas look spooky! The dead black trees and type of plants used in the build suit the home type well! Very nice layout of the interior ! It is great that there is a basement level. The rips, cobwebs and cracks on the walls in the living room give a great look to the room! Very nice wall nook area above the fireplace. The portrait and red candles look great there. The cauldron is a great touch there. Sims may get a fright when taking candy from the candy dish on the table!
