Finally finding the time to do a proper walkthrough of the challenges so far this month. I appreciate everyone's patience. I didn't expect so many entries so early!
First up is the Spooky Vamp Roommates build by @icanhassims.
Exterior
I am just blown away by the creativity here. I would never have though of using the steamers to make the appearance of mist around the home. It adds a creepy feel to the whole place. I love it!
The details you added in around the outside are wonderful as well with all the dying vegetation and gothic decor. The build has a rustic old look to it and it works very well. The water stains and holes in the walls add spooky touches to the whole lot. Wonderful.
Interior
Oh wow. The inside is elegantly gothic. Love! Every room has so many little touches that I just adore. There's all the cobwebs and spiders everywhere. (I hate spiders. Like really, really petrified of them. I'm pretty sure I would take one look and turn right back around irl.)
I like that even through most is predominately black/grey and navy, you've added the white color touches here and there to keep it from all muddying together.
The kitchen is a stark contrast to the rest of the interior, but still love what you've done here. I imagine that vampires wouldn't be in the kitchen very often, except maybe in passing. It would most likely be the most pristine room in the building. You've kept the rustic look to it with the older style of cabinets in white. But it still keeps the dark feel to it beautifully!
I can't decide if I like the office or living room better. Both are beautiful though.
If I had to change anything, I think I would have used the terrain tools on the ground outside to add some darkened areas to for a shaded look, so things doing look placed but built and grown. However I still love it all.
Overall this is a creepy but cute build that I simply love. It seems perfect for a couple of young vampire roommates.
