New Goth Manor by Petalbot

It's been a while! Here is my newest home for The Sims 3. It's a gothic home inspired by & built for the Goth Family! This old, new home features, 3 beds, 3 baths, living, family, dining, cellar, study, lab, alchemy room, greenhouse, gazebo, pond & private cemetary. Built on 261 Valley View Dr., Moonlight Falls. Also fits in well on the Goth lot in Sunset Valley. Gothique Library and Midnight Hollow highly recommended. The home is playtested and contains NO CC or CAP. Now on with the tour. Hope you like it. :)

Sorry for the very late replies. Real life has been too busy lately. I hope to have more for ts3 soon and be a more regular visitor to this section of the forum. :)

@Glenkarri Thank you so much and I'm glad to see that you are still making such beautiful creations. Will be catching up on your creations soon.

@romagi1 Thanks Romagi! :) I love the way the yard looks in the golden sunset in moonlight falls. It really added to the atmosphere.

@napoleonwrasse Thanks!! :)

@rosemow Thank you so much for the comments. I'm so glad it captures the Goth and gothic theme! I read through the goth family wiki before building to get background on the family since I had not played sims1 or 2 before.

@meuamour Thanks! I also like looking at Goth Manor remodels/rebuilds. I'm kind of thinking about building for the Altos or the landgraabs some time down the road.

@soocoolsim Thank you so much! I need to catch up on your builds as well.

@heledriel Thanks! Those wallpaper from midnight hollow were indispensable in making this house.

@luvalphvle Thanks! I will be catching up on your builds soon ! :)

@grallonsphere Thanks! That is very sweet of you. :)

@Suz0o Thank you so much for the comments! Glad you like the fog! I really love how it looks in the golden sunset of moonlight falls. I'm also glad to hear that it has a creepy feel. :)

@Nora_675 Thanks!! CASting took ages to get right when first starting out, so I'm glad to hear that you like it.

@ShadowLabrys Thanks! :)

@MeaganJo Thank you so much! Yes, I build in TS4. I will have a TS4 house up soon. It's not quite as fun as building in TS3 though. TS3 has the great tools and less frustration.

@adamhayden123 Thanks!

Oh WOW, that is gorgeous and spooky. I will have it in for myself. I was just thinking of having a Sims 3 game and create a few Ghosts and this house will be perfect. Glad to see you still building in the wonderful Sims 3. It is always such fun ;) Hope all is well

It's perfect, it's gorgeous, it's mysterious! A true petalbot! And I just have to say that I love how the pattern you picked for the top of you Gazebo works so well with how you did the wall heights and roof!

The New Goth Manor looks so very nice! :) It captures the Goth/gothic theme so very well! The exterior of the main home building, the green house and the gazebo looks so very much very great! The roofing on each of these buildings looks so very great! The front steps entrance to the home looks very nice! The greenhouse is very nice! The type of and placement of the windows in the greenhouse and main home building looks very nice! Very nice furnishing of the interior! The textures used for the walls and the furnishings look great and create a very great atmospheric feel and look to the home! It is a very detailed home! Each of the rooms looks very nice. The dining table chairs look great! Very nice stove and nectar rack alcove in the kitchen. It is great that there is a hidden spiral staircase down to the nectar cellar and basement ! The arched nectar racks look very great! It is nice that there is a labarotory and an alchemy room in the basement. Very nice funishing of the bedrooms!
It was very nice going on a tour of the home through the pictures and it will be great for our sims to enjoy living there themselves! :)

It is nice to see you are still creating these extraordinary building for Sims 3. This one is a real piece of art, I love the presentation, the exterior looks so fascinating and eerie at once. The building itself is remarkable detailed decorated and furnished, just magnificent, a real beauty!
I have to agree, I definitely need to have a closer look at this in game!
