@SjappielovePaul Yay, that's awesome! I posted over on the DNA thread but if you're sure I'll delete that. I love your builds! Good luck on your tests!
Oohhh I love Victorian houses! Not sure I'll be able to do it this month but if I can find some time, I'll certainly be tempted by your wish @ZeeGee. Just to be sure I understand: you don't want the wall to be move, but are you fine with changing the wallpapers?
@Merelhyn Yes, the shape of the house and the rooms needs to stay the same so it will be recognizable as the Goth mansion, but as far as décor and wallpapers.. go nuts!
ETA: You're welcome to fix that awful roof if you can. It has bits sticking out where they shouldn't be!

Thank you, I don't feel too certain about this round, but I'll see what comes up again. If I fail, it would be my first resit this year, so I'm not too bothered with it
I'll definitely give it a try! Can't wait to build (or technically buy and CASt) something again
Don't forget to take care of yourself every now and then in this big chaotic world!
I'm adding something to my creation wish list. I really need the Goth home in Sunset Valley redone in Victorian style! If you're good with Victorian style and are able to do a quick makeover of this home I would sure appreciate it. Don't change any of the outside or inside walls. Using the goth set from the store would be a plus if you have it. I'd like it to look 'classy Victorian,' not fuddy duddy Victorian. This wish will expire at the end of this month because I'll have to just do it myself if I don't have it by then. But I'm HORRIBLE with Victorian so... anyone game?!
I love Victorian and my interest is piqued but I'm not sure what the difference is between classy and fuddy duddy in this case? Lol. Do you have example pics?
Sorry, didn't see this before I posted. So do you mean you still want it to be gothic Victorian (ornate, elegant but more deep, dark colours than bright and happy) but not dirty, run down and/or scary?
@missroxor The Goth mansion ‘as is’ is what I meant by fuddy duddy. That probably wasn’t the right word. It’s just shabby.. That yellow and orange kitchen floor... *shudder*. Yes, you can change all the wallpapers and flooring and furniture. Just keep the original shape of the Goth mansion. I’ll link more pics later when I can get on the computer.Thanks for your interest!

@missroxor Yes! Ornate and elegant. It doesn’t even have to be that dark, though I do love those red and blue wallpapers in that house! And the bedroom with the single bed will be a male child’s room so it can be happy.
Oh and I forgot one thing. It needs a piano in it! I’ll add that to the original request.
After looking at more pics I think I understand what I like - I don't like the first pic. Too many patterns and too much stuff. I love the second two pics.

I can't get the second link to work but I think I get the gist do the rooms have to keep the same function e.g. Kitchen stays a kitchen, double bedroom stays a bedroom etc or can we change it up? Sorry for all the questions.

@missroxor I don't mind questions! Yes, I'd like the rooms to stay the same so it will still be recognizable as the Goth mansion, just a makeover. I'll be filming in it.
Random question but for anyone working on the goth house, did this little room top left have three archways? I'm convinced it did but as you an see in my game there's no archways there (anymore?). Trying to figure out if I need to replace them or if that is just a dead space room but my game is slow so I don't want to have to load up a new SV to find out, lol.

Another random question but @ZeeGee do you dislike supernaturals for religious reasons or just not into that kind of stuff? You don't need to answer if you don't want to, I'm just curious but also been thinking what a shame it is because there's lots of pretty build and buy stuff with that EP that looks great with Victorian styles
Also, do you want that big room there to stay storage or want it made into something useful?
@missroxor Loading up my game to check, but I don't really mind what you do with the upstairs. You can leave it as is or make it something useful or decorative. I do LOVE the siding you've chosen!
Back in the day when the Supernatural disc was available I considered buying it for the build items as there are some nice ones, especially that set of doors. But in the end I didn't want to deal with the supernatural states. I'm just not into it and also they give me the creeps. One time I added a robot with the 'my best friend' lifetime wish and he ended up giving me the creeps too and getting totally annihilated.
And the original Goth house looks just like your picture.
@missroxor Actually I'm not getting near as far as I thought I would with the video series so take another month if you need it.
That is sort of helpful haha, here in the Netherlands we got summer weather! I really need to urge someone to get me a power outlet in the garden...
I am planning my summer, which may be a while coming, since we are still waiting for spring weather to arrive. Anyway, I am going to have a gazebo in the yard and will be running a power line out for a string of fairy lights AND my laptop. I'm all for being one with nature for the season, but I need something to keep me entertained while I'm out there. *grin*

Exactly haha! I was quite surprised with the weather, usually our springs are a bit wonky with lots of rain and never over 20°C and only in May it starts being a bit more reliable. But last week it was 20 to 30°C! From monday on, not a single drop of rain...
However I already went full sunburnt lol, so I can just stay inside tomorrow

We are in the northeastern US and a friend lives in Puerto Rico. She and my sister have a running joke lately that we are having the same weather. In the upper 30s to low 40s. The difference is that we measure it in Fahrenheit and she uses Celsius!
Wow, I would actually prefer northeastern USA than! A tad bit cold for April, but 30/40°C is too much for me :')
To clarify, the warmer weather is down on the island of Puerto Rico. We are still barely into springtime here in New England. Today is in the 50s F and we are thrilled. And 40C is too much for me any season.
I… spent so long writing my new thread that I didn't even play that much in my free time? The Goth manor makeover is definitely not done. I'll try to finish something in time!
Wow, do we have NO April entries!? Sorry I've been missing but my mom has been very sick and taking care of her comes first.
Come on, let's see some entries for April, two more days!! 2000 SP up for grabs!! Whoopeee!!
I've been working on a research essay for school, but I was at a friend this evening and I spent some time on the Goth Manor... I'll share some pictures tomorrow because I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for!
Don't forget to take care of yourself every now and then in this big chaotic world!
I think I'll be able to finish an hacienda starter in time!
Edit: actually I think it's pretty decent right now, so I'll upload it on ModTheSims. I'll probably have to import it on the Exchange as well so it is up on time...
Sorry, between actually playing the game, and working on my Hanging Gardens resort, I've been side-tracked. All the lovely Lunar Lakes builds inspired me to actually play and Michaela's life has been moving along nicely.
BUT, the resort is done and has been play tested. I will be posting it this week on my thread, after I get a few (ahem, dozen) pics ready. It's pretty big, and I find photo shoots to be so complicated and tedious. This will free me up to build something else, just not in time for this month's contest. Not that I regret taking the month to work on a pet project. It seems it was a tough month to co-ordinate for all of us.
@ZeeGee I really hope your mom is doing better. And, of course, family always comes first.
