A Little Gothic - Spooky Victorian Home for Download (Basegame, No CC!)

It's never too early for Halloween. In fact, if displays in grocery stores are to be believed, we should've started preparing for Halloween weeks ago.
I see people comment about Store-content-heavy builds, including in my own direction, and it makes sense - not everyone can or wants to shell out the 30 or so bucks a month it takes to keep up with all the new sets. And of course not everyone has every single expansion and stuff pack ever made, either, and it put the idea in my head to make something completely basegame - something I haven't done since basegame was all we had.
So I made this Gothy little thing:
Here's what we've got:
- Sits on a 20 x 20 lot - easily placeable in almost any world.
- 2 bedrooms, furnished for a couple and one child
- 2 full baths
- 2 fireplaces, both upgraded to Fireproof
- A large and presently-unfurnished attic.
- Parking for 1 car
- Basegame! No CC, No expansion/stuff pack, and only a couple FREE store items (Like 3 decor objects, completely nonessential).
- Pricetag: About $45k after playtesting
It's been playtested at full capacity, and all is well. It's a petite house, though, and while you *could* fill the attic with extra beds for litters of children, I wouldn't particularly recommend this one for a large family.

I was a bit worried that the lack of store/expansion stuff would leave the place feeling bland. I'm glad that's not the case!
Good job!
