@cshaner I agree, the dark makeup is part of the dark form! I did change the outfits for my first vampires, but that was such a pain. When I start this one, I probably won't change them.
@misfit091376 I figure that they hide their faces in their human form but in my opinion their clothing wouldn't change because that's on their body. It's not actually their body.
By the way - if you haven't read Discovering Juliana by @Jes2G OMG...please give it a spin. It's wonderful drama with characters that are flawed and amazing. I just binge read a very large portion of it this evening.
Her world and her characters have so much depth. It's amazing.

I've decided I need some more attractive non-premade sims in my game to be humans for my stable. I have one in there and another one that I'm still working on a friendship with, but I think I'll need a few more. I took 'sloppy drinker' as a weakness for Elizabeth and she's never able to fill up and her thirst seems to return quickly.
@Rainydayz179 is there any rules surrounding the stable? I think I want to download something from the gallery to be their house and I'd like it to be kinda large so that the humans and the visiting vampires can have places of privacy.
@cshaner Not really any rules for them. I tried to go for more of a grungy look because I figured my vamps were pretty broke but the original small house got really annoying and my vamps didn't even live there! Since you're doing yours as a story I'd say do whatever fits the story.
That sucks about sloppy drinker. I wondered what that did!
Ok great. I also have to think story-wise how the stable even comes to be. Why would these 6 or so humans who don't know each other all decide to live together next door to a nest of vampires?
I'm going to work on that concept today. Any thoughts are always appreciated!!
@cshaner In most books the humans that work for vampires do it in hopes that they will someday be turned. It's kind of a lure to make them do things they wouldn't normally do.
I was also thinking that perhaps the vamp nest could have just been next to a house of young people all just rooming together to share the rent. Obviously Challenge wise I'd make friends and invite them to live there but story wise they may have just been a convenient 'fast food' option right next door!
@Rainydayz179 Haha exactly! I may go for the more sinister route though as you suggested of having them aware of exactly why they are there. I'll continue working on that aspect!!

Nice! It sounds like you're having fun scheming all of the details!
@Rainydayz179 Oooh you have no idea, I think this is going to be a full on drama filled dark dark place....my Forgotten Hollow! Hee hee. It may actually go into the realm of mature later rather than stay Teen or PG-13 which is what I have it now.
Hooray for Saturday!!
What are Elizabeth's plans in Forgotten Hollow? What are Vladislaus' plans for her? Find out here!
@Rainydayz179 I love this challenge just as a structure for my story!! Oh I adored the house though I think I'm already going to add a basement. I don't have enough room for 8 coffins!

I put a basement into the house I got off of the gallery when I was testing it too. The one I built had a room for the coffins but when I replaced it I sold the bedroom set and just put stairs to the basement in the master bedroom. They don't need a bed anyway right? Plus, coffins in the basement is kinda creepy. I imagine lots of cobwebs and candles for lighting!
@Rainydayz179 I have such trouble building basements. I may need to look up a tutorial. I get they are just another room, but I have no idea where the stairs connect and if the basement makes sense where I put it. I know how to move an entire room so I find myself going up a floor, then trying to judge how many tiles to move the basement room. I'm a mess!

I have a hard time with them too. What usually works is placing the stairs where I want them upstairs and then building the basement room around them. Too bad they'd get burnt in the sun. A hidden outdoor entrance would be cool.
@Rainydayz179 I did go and find a basement tutorial! Apaprently, I never noticed there is a basement building tool. You can drag your first floor dimensions using that basement tool and it will dig the basement below your first floor. Awesome. I don't have time to try it out right now but I'm looking forward to trying it later tonight or tomorrow.
That's also a great idea for putting the stairs in where you want them on the first floor then building the basement around the stairs.

I'm shocked! I had no idea, that's hilarious. This is why I like to watch speedbuilds. There's always something I had no idea how to do!
@Rainydayz179 Oooh I love your new sig banner! I think I'm going to be changing mine this week. I saw someone else was using a gif rotating banner again so I wonder if they've removed the code that plumm'd out the .gif part as was happening back in January.
I'm not sure how many people still follow this thread...but I'm going to continue to post my story updates here:
Elizabeth is continuing to plan to get the rest of her Coven to Forgotten Hollow. She also has a conversation with Caleb and a tasty late night snack!
