Hi @StephSteb , I've added a couple of older WIPs on page 1 for you to make a final decision on whether to keep or delete the foundation basement.
I do have a large landing on the 2nd floor since you wanted the manor stairs. This landing houses the musical instruments, TV nook and other activities. Do you lean more towards open concept or enclosed rooms?

I actually do like the foundation so yes, keep it Open concepts are my jam!
Hi @ElijahsBabyGurl9 , as requested I've added screenshots of what I've completed so far on page 1 . Additional completed areas not shown are the wine cellar in the basement and the upstairs verandah. Working on the kitchen next to wrap up the main floor. I'm not too sure what the exterior colour of this house actually is since it some photos it looks more brown than grey. You can let me know if you would like me to switch the colours

Oh wow!! Everything looks amazing! I think you did an excellent job! And the exterior color looks perfect it doesnt need to be changed at all. And yes you were correct in your assumption in that I was wanting the decor of the house to be similar to the build itself. I am very pleased with it. I'm excited to see the kitchen when you get the chance. Anything else you need?
@ElijahsBabyGurl9 ... as requested, more WIPs on page 1. I was able to figure out the layout of the kitchen so did some tweaking to the rear of the house to accommodate. Was also able to utilize the extra space behind the kitchen to add a powder room and laundry area with stuff for the kitty. Main floor is now completed. Do you still want to see WIPs as I move along or shall I keep the rest under wraps to the end?
Also... what objects do you need for the witch to make portions?
I only have a 4x4 square in the tower which is room enough for the cauldron. If that's all is needed, I can keep it there. Otherwise... I can add an underground room off the tunnel (which has a hidden entrance to the outside)... or make a witching circle in the backyard. Thoughts?

@soocoolsim Yes I do own the Manor Set For my Witch to make potions he needs the Alchemy Station (which comes from Supernatural), as far as the spacing requirements I'm not sure but an underground room with secret entrance sounds awesome!! I'm sure my Sim would love that! Also I wanted to make note that my Sims mate, is a Vampire. Could you place some Plasma Fruit plants in the garden for her? No need for a coffin bed, she sleeps in a regular bed. As for the rest of the WIPs I think I'd like to be surprised ^_^ so we'll save them for the end.
Hi @ElijahsBabyGurl9. Have been hectic since returning but happy to say I’ve made great progress on your build. Great you own the manor set 😃. I couldn’t find the plasma fruit plant in buydebug but just found on wiki I can purchase it from the grocery. Will try planting just before uploading since I tend to almost kill my plants during play testing 😉
For the horse... I’ve put the hitching post with water, salt lick and hay in the backyard. There should be enough room for the horse ball. I’ll know and adjust during testing. I split the garage in half so one side has a stable and the other side room for 1 car. I figure you can always add additional car spots on the driveway if needed... however if you would prefer I remove the stable just let me know.
Hope all is well at your end 🤗

Just a couple ideas.=)
Special requirements (garden, pool, hot tub, etc.)? A secrete base hidden somewhere for my heroes to go to.
Is communication required before the builder begins work? Only if she/he feels the need to

The only sets I don't own are: Mother Russia, World of Wonder Carousel, Grandpa's grove(I own bits and pieces),Prisim Art Studio.
And midnight hollow.
Woot it's been a long time @GraceyManor . Looking forward to creating your build.
So... before I start, just want to make sure I get a better understanding of your needs.
I understand you want the secret sci-fi base with the secret entrance for your superheros. What kind of style are you thinking of for the exterior? By that I mean, some super hero houses tend to look like normal (albeit huge manors lol). Did you want your house to fit into the neighbourhood or really stand out?
If you are indeed looking for a sci-fi looking house, how 'out there' are you thinking.... really space aged or more typical contemporary/modern like these or even these (kerala type)?
Last question for now... could you repost your inspiration links since they seem to be broken. Thanks

Hi! Thanks for taking on my request!
Oh good question.I was hoping the exterior to be more normal, than sci-fi so maybe an upscale traditional or new england style home.It will be placed in a suburban small town on the outskirts of a city.But the lair itself, I would love all gadgety and sci-fy hitechy.Love the idea of the home kind of fooling people, so it looks like a normal family lives there.
He's also a fire fighter.So if somewhere in the lair or the lot we could throw in some workout equipment.I'd love that!
If some how we could incorporate the bookshelve hidden door as the entrance to the lair, that would be super.=)
Yay, as much as sci-fi architecture can be fun, I'm quite glad you're looking for a normal home @GraceyManor . Thanks for the inspiration pics. Love that super cool lair with the blues and greys. The bookshelf door will be perfect for the secret entrance. Are all the family superheros or just the dad?
For the exterior... I really like your 2nd house pic with the traditional home watermark. It has a simple elegance. It does look very similar to the Blairsburg House that Sandraelle just completed so perhaps I'll look for something in the same vein.
For the bedrooms... would you like either of the younger kids rooms to have a superhero theme like the colourful lair pic above... or stick with upscale traditional decor throughout the home?
Edit! a couple of potential similar options...
(A)
(B)... I could add the 2-high columns to this one or the portico like your inspiration...

@soocoolsim
Actually, I don't have a full family yet.Right now The main character just hired a new sidekick.But the sidekick has 2 elderly parents and sister which I have them all living together, so right now its just the hero and his sidekick that are superheroes...but eventually, they'll grow, but I'm not sure if their "future" family will all be heroes.The main character is the only one with "super powers." but his sidekick is good with martial arts.
The red and blue one is from a tv show called henry danger.:)
For the interior, the upscale theming would be great!.Oh! I like the one you posted.Really pretty.

Questions for you:
Double-checking that you do NOT own the Now and Then Century Manor set right? I've currently used a couple of roof pieces for the top of the tower. Will see what I can do to replace this...
