What does Steampunk have to do with Midnight Hollow?

I see a lot of people commenting they're going to use the steampunk stuff in MH. What does Steampunk have to do with MH? I'm curious that's all.

The clothing that a lot of the sims are wearing (such as the cute hairstyles with the goggles) are designed in steampunk style.





The science building/observatory is CLASSIC steampunk.

Steampunk and Goth can often mix very well. We have all of those awesome steampunk sets from the store but as somebody else said in another thread, those clothes and objects look out of place in most other worlds.

But since MH has a bit of a steampunk flavor to it, those sets will fit in perfectly. And can I just say that I love that hairstyle with the goggles? I've been searching for a CC hairstyle with that sort of look for ages but never found one I liked. Now I can finally have it. ;P

Just take a look at the trailer again and watch out for the awesome looking rabbithole that looks like it has a telescope coming out of the top!

edit: Halle_M stealth edited me!

That'd be the one!

edit again: it's so weird, I'm sure the gurus read my mind! :shock: I was in the Liverpool museum the other day admiring the scientific instruments, like the huge telescope, and then low and behold! :shock:

Interesting. Hmm I don't have any of the steampunk sets. Now I'm debating on whether or not to download them.

Don't you just LOVE what they've done? I swear they've mixed steampunk with English cottage with a sort of Russian vibe and placed it all in a Comic-Con in dystopian Scotland! I don't know which part to love more! :P It's so eclectic and unique!

Now that surprises me Cat. Steampunk is usually described as a style that combines the romance of the Victorian Era combined with technology and Sci-Fi speculation with fantastic machinery.

I think it is another way for EA just to give us something that we wanted, but not exactly the way we want it. The clothes do no look like real steampunk clothing to me. I think they just threw this World together looks to much like 🐸🐸🐸🐸 to me. A redo with a few additions.

Hi Candy,
Look at the pictures posted by Halle-M and HollownessDevour on page 44:

Don’t you think the clothes are a good match in those photos?

Well, it sounds like you can pass on this one, then. Thanks for letting us know!

I use very little store Steampunk clothes but instead use mostly attire from the Supernatural EP Be sure to use the 'unlockoutfits on' cheat

I'm thinking some of the CAS items might look good with ITF, in particular the dystopian future. Worth a look anyway...
