@hellohannah2 This is so awesome!
Thank you so much for your kind words about the build and for sharing your experiences, I’m delighted to hear that the story evokes those memories and familiar feelings.
I envy you to be honest, I never got a chance to visit the house in my teens with my own Scooby Doo gang, I’ve never actually been inside the house physically!
I had plans to visit the mansion for a project, right before Covid struck and we had to deal with all the lockdowns. The lucky thing was that the back then owner was kind enough to offer virtual access to the house via detailed 360 scans of most of the interior, which I studied extensively whilst building the structure in the sims. Obviously due to build mode limitations and the fact that the scan was somewhat incomplete, it’s impossible to create an accurate replica, but sure look, it works for storytelling purposes! Always a good reason to exercise our artistic licenses haha!
You’re very right, the entire peninsula can get very creepy, but in my opinion that’s also what makes it so hauntingly beautiful and I’m all for the latter!
I can really relate to the the feeling that you describe when watching the house from Dollar Bay. I used to visit Dunmore East a lot and even from the smaller coves there the big house on the cliff (which is absolutely miles away) stands out like this threatening beast. The strange thing is that, on foggy days it still somehow manages to make itself visible from that distance.
I’m getting carried away here…
Apparently they’re trying to turn the house into a hotel again as a means to banish the ghosts…man, all I gotta say is Good Luck with that lads. ?
