  I had an aunt who used to have a chandelier like that. Very pretty. It would be nice to have some more run down furniture and build stuff. And a working grandfather clock. Also collectible china.

  there is so much that build mode needs when it comes to older builds
  that I don't even know where to start
  
  but I guess I have to start somewhere so ahem.
  

  1. More doors for wall height 2 and 3
  the mansion doors we have now look like dog doors next to those wall heights
  and yet we can't add any trim to exterior unless our build is height 2 or 3 it frustrates me so much
  
  also I would love love love beautiful old pocket doors, bigger secret bookcase door, wallpapered doors that match with
  
  2. more wallpapers and wall paneling
  
  there is simply not enough wallpapers ever especially not when it comes to old mansions so many beautiful options we could have
  and also I would love to see more color options than the usual goth manor red or lilsimsie blue or barbie pink
  
  same goes for wall paneling I mean who says we shouldn't have colors of the rainbow for our wall paneling just saying.
  
  3. windows, windows, windows.
  
  big ornate windows, big arched windows, big windows that suit older homes,
  big windows I could use for different wall heights...
  did I say enough? oh. more stained glass, is also welcome.
  
  4. exterior trims, all of them also exterior wall details
  
  anything to make the exterior look little less of a bore really
  old houses tend to have all kind of ornate details and I love them so much
  
  5. fences, stairs and gates to match all of the above
  
  nothing more frustrating than when you can't match things truly, I therefore add this for 5th
  
  + ye oldey gameplay items
  
  like upright pianos, how do we not have them yet it doesn't even need new animation or sounds its just piano but in smaller space
  also toddler (and infant) items fit for older homes would be useful (rocking horses and ye olde furniture and all that)

  aaand probably like thousand other things that I realize I forgot to mention so I'll be back dun dun
  
  oh I already thought of one
  option to make it so game doesn't hide columns everytime you get close to them
  so we could actually freaking see them in our builds while playing

  I would love more off-the-grid lighting like a wall light with a small shelf or hook with a lantern and the globe style table kerosene lamps that usually has a rose or other design on the globe. It is so hard to do older homes you want off-the-grid as the lights are so limited. @Simmingal, I want everything you listed!

  I think you'd need far more than one kit, as one conspicuous feature of Victorian homes is clutter! People's decoration tended be extremely busy in those days, with trinkets and art pieces on every surface and on a great percentage of the wall. A proper nicknackatory (a word which has sadly fallen out of use).

  Oh I'm all for more haha! I just realized we sorta have a fainting couch in vampires but its huge and not exactly that. I would love one of those too! Omg maybe a game pack that it more centered in the 1800s would be so cool!
