STARTING OUT RESULTS FOR CHALLENGE #4 - A Ghostly Design

Lovely build. The roofline looks very interesting and I think you have done a great job combining a flat roof with a regular roof. There is not much landscaping, as there was not much room for it, but what you had fits the theme.
A suggestion for the next time would be to take the pictures with the walls all the way up. And then take the pictures from a Sims view. That way you get the feeling as if standing in the room. Though for the attic this was a good choice to show it, the rest would have been nice with wall up.
Your interior matches the victorian style very well. The whole style is cohesive through the build. Good job. I personally like the bedroom, with the 2 pink chairs in front of the fireplace.

Charming build. The exterior looks very impressive at night. The pathway in the front and back garden looks lovely. Great natural shape. The open back yard looks great too, it gives the illusion their lot is a lot bigger.
A suggestion I can give it to work on your roofline. The general structure of the build works for an victorian house, but having 1 big roof piece (and the turret) makes it less victorian. Maybe a few dormers would have helped break the line of it.
The interior colours are unexpected but fit the Queen Anne style houses. You did a great job giving each room there own character. Love what you did in the bathrooms with the tall cabinet separating the two sinks. My two favorite places would be the music room and the blue master suite. The blue is so soothing.

Lovely build. The little fountain in front is great. As well as in the back. The landscaping overall is sparse, but fitting a victorian house. Your interior looks very victorian. Muted colours fit the early styles of vitorian. The layout works well too. Though I miss a bit a family room separate from the music room.
A tip I can give you is about those walls you couldn’t remove. I have encountered that too once or twice. If you drag a different wall towards it (for example, the exterior wall) and drag it back to it’s original place, it should be gone. Or if you place a new room inside the room and remove the room. Worth a shot to try next time. It is a very annoying bug. I love the second bedroom. It’s a very difficult layout to work with, but you managed to make it work really well. Good job!

Great victorian build! And I love what you did with the lighting on the porch. Very spooky. Great use of spandrals too. the view from the back porch is stunning!
The layout is very interesting. Very clever how you managed to get a bit odd shaped rooms into the layout without it affecting the rooms next to it.
A small tip is to turn off the grid when taking pictures (this time only the layout one though). You can do this either by going into live mode, of by hitting ‘g’ in build mode to toggle the grid off.
My favourite feature would be the fountain inside the house though. That was such a surprise, but it works. Great job

Great build. Very good job on how you roofed the turret. Without a hexagonal or round roof that is very difficult to make work. Good use of the round fencing as well.
Though, compared how round the front of the house is, the squarer is the back of it. My suggestion would be to use a chosen style for both sides. Your interior looks great. The layout works great and the wall paper and flooring fit the theme, as well as the furniture. But what I like most is the front yard in general. The view of the house combined with the landscaping truly looks victorian. Great job!

What an impressive looking dinning room! It looks so formal. I like it!
