Spanish-Style Mansion | Sims 2 Lot Download

This stunning Spanish-style mansion is the perfect multi-generational home for your sims that crave that sea-side lifestyle.

Take in the sunshine from the balcony, or pool, and enjoy curling up with a good book in any of the luxurious living-spaces.

It features 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, but the upstairs library could easily be combined with the sitting room downstairs and be turned into a 4th bedroom.

Isn’t this secluded balcony so pretty? It’s perfect for taking in seaside views, or relaxing after a busy day of work.

Here’s a view of the back of the home, surrounded by a privacy fence. You can also see hints of the flower gardens here. 

To the side of the house is a pool and outdoor dining area.

This home was built with the goal of enjoying the fresh air and beauty of nature as much as possible!

Here’s a close-up of the dining area. I can just imagine peaceful dinners out here at sunset. Sky-boxes and skylines really add to the ambience of the game. I use skies from iCad, and skylines from GreatCheeseCakePersona.

Are you ready to go inside? I’ve done some light decorating throughout, but kept it somewhat generic to allow you to customize it to your sim families tastes.

Here’s a top-down look at the floor-plan for the first and second floors. The arched “bell-tower” is directly above the Master Bathroom. It is not accessible, unless you want to do some remodeling.

The first floor (clockwise from left): Family room, Sitting room, Music room, Formal Dining Room, Kitchen, Laundry Room, Bathroom, and Garage.

The second floor (clockwise from left): Master Bedroom (option 2), Library/Study, Master Bathroom, Master Bedroom (option 1), Main Bathroom, Kid’s Bathroom, Kid’s Bedroom, and the Balcony patio.

I’ve put the download link at the bottom of this post, so if you don’t care to take a tour of the inside, please scroll to the bottom of this post. 😅

Main entryway:

Dining room:

Kitchen:

Living room:

Downstairs sitting room:

Music room:

Heading upstairs,

This home can easily work for a multi-generational family. 

Here’s Master bedroom (option 1):

And at the other end of the house:

Master bedroom (option 2):

It opens out onto the balcony: You’ll have to pardon the lighting a bit here. I love my lighting mod, but there are a few lines near the roof... And then there’s the issue with one of the flower pots (but the wall-placement lighting is 100% EA’s problem).

Kids bedroom:

Library/Study:

My favorite part of this home is the warm lighting that makes everything glow and feel homey. ❤ I hope you enjoyed the tour!

Spanish-Style Mansion MF | SFS

All EPs and SPs are required.

I’ve run this home through the Lot Compressor and the Lot Cleaner so any random references to sims that aren’t there should be removed. I also added a shiny custom thumbnail so it has even more curb appeal in your Lots and Houses bin! 🌟

*I highly recommend that you have the PerfectPlants mod from TwoJeffs*This home has only 3 pieces of CC, which you may already have in your game. These can easily be replaced or omitted if you don’t want them though.

CC List (Included): -Maxis Match Wall Cabinets by CTNutmegger at ModtheSims -Decorative Egg Topiary from the original Sims 2 Site -Functional Washer and Dryer by mustluvcats at ModtheSims

CC recommendations (not included): If you want to have your chimneys match the exterior walls like I show in these pictures, I also recommend you download the Maxis Match Southwestern Style Stucco Chimney recolors by Kimsie at ModtheSims

I ALWAYS recommend using the Sims 2 Clean Pack installer to install lot files.

The Second Floor

SNF's Domain

George and Sapnap do not live on the first floor with Dream, and they instead live upstairs! Their area features 8 rooms:

The Ping-Pong Table Room

George's Office

George's Bathroom

George's Bedroom

SNF's Hallway

Sapnap's Room

Sapnap's Bathroom

Sapnap's Office

The Ping-Pong Table Room

Right up the stairs is the iconic ping-pong table room! It features, of course, a ping-pong table, which has caused many fights in the Dream Team house (as told by Sapnap). It features yet another Christmas tree, as well as many sitting areas.

The Ping-Pong Table Room is adjacent to the Guest Wing, George's office, and the Fan Room.

The Fan Room

A testament to their success, the fan room is right next to the Ping-Pong Table room, so they can always come up here and see the huge impact they've had.

It's covered head-to-toe with artwork, letters, plushies, and more! It's lovely to see that the Dream Team adore their fans as much as we adore them.

George's Office

Our favorite vlogger, George's office (and area) is at the top of the stars! It's still cluttered, but he's been slowly decorating it over the past two years.

In his most recent stream with Sapnap, fans noticed the new shelf containing all his trophies (and quartz elephants!).

George's Bathroom

George's bathroom is a typical full-bath, with a nice shower, tice toilet, and sinks. All his towels are black (typical for the Dream Team), and there isn't any art on the walls.

However, in the recent "Titan vs. 20 Hiders" video, some may have noticed that George's toothbrush is blue! Which tracks since it's his favorite color :D

George's Bedroom

George's bedroom is a bit smaller than Dream's, but that's the way he likes it! He has the only bed in the house without a headboard, and he still has the blackout curtains from the "I Met Dream" video.

George's room has an air purifier and is vacuumed often because he's allergic to the cats :( but he still lives in Florida because he loves his friends.

SNF's Hallway

There's not much to say other than it's a hallway. There's a bunch of cat toys, Milo and Naomi's bowls, a shelf, and more.

Sapnap's Room

Sapnap's room is right next to George's! I can't even imagine the fights that happen because of noise complaints askdnckanscdk.

He also has a TV and has a small closet, unlike George.

And, in my opinion, it's the most tastefully decorated bedroom.

Sapnap's Bathroom

And then, there's Sapnap's bathroom.

It has the litter box for the kitties as well as the usual stuff for a full-bath.

It's rather cramped as a space, but if Sapnap likes it, that's his prerogative.

Sapnap's Office

Now Sapnap's office is awesome! Ever since he's remodeled it, it's been absolutely cozy and comfortable.

He even has a little panda on the couch IRL! We couldn't simulate it in the Sims, so we put a little bear with a heart :D

The Guest Wing

The Guest Wing is entered via the Ping-Pong Table room, and it has 10 rooms:

Four bedrooms

Four bathrooms

Laundry Room

Hallway

We will not show every single room since that would be redundant, but here are some screenshots below:

You will find creators like Awesamdude, Skeppy, and BadBoyHalo residing here :)

Today's (and yesterday because my game was a bit crash-happy!) build is a remodel of the Twikkii Beach Hotel!

Now, full confession, I saw this remodel by @voodoohurts and was heavily inspired by it, and therefore cannot take the credit for the exterior look. I had no idea on the interior's floor plan so I made it up. I wanted to modernise it a bit as the 'lore' in my BaCC is that it's about to be remodelled (into this).

I was previously using this version by @plumbtales in case any of you want to check it out.

More pictures below.

Seeing as this is meant to be the most expensive hotel on the island, I wanted to make sure that if it was visited by non-guests, the rooms were split off in separate wings of the hotel.

Also, I am renaming 'The Tropics' in my BaCC as felt a bit lackluster as an actual place name. Still trying to figure out a decent name so by all means leave any suggestions below.

There are nine rooms in total, five twin single rooms downstairs and four doubles upstairs. This includes a bridal suite. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms, some with baths as well as a shower.

There is a massage table adjacent to the Reception, and a small gym (not pictured), complete with sauna upstairs.

There is also a formal wedding venue on the back balcony which is available by appointment only. When a wedding is booked, the hotel is always fully booked with the wedding party only. This hotel is mostly seen as Adults Only, and most newlyweds choose this as their honeymoon base.

Downstairs, there is the world-renowned White Dining Room, known for its fine dining and excellent service.

On the other side of the dining area is a swimming pool, open to guests as well as visitors. There is a small bar here as well.

I also left it in its original location in the hood, but added some decor around the beach to make it more private. I'm also tempted to renovate the rest of the lots but I'll take it one step at a time as remodels take a lot of creative energy from me sometimes!

I was using the hood remodel by Plumbtales which I'd already tweaked quite a bit. I think it's supposed to be redone at some point as all I found was this page.

Behind Reception and next to the dining room, is the main walkway down to the hotel's private strip of the beach.

Complete with sun loungers, hammocks and the highly entertaining fire dancers, it can be the perfect place to take a moment to yourself.

Now, the bedrooms. Because I was bored, I've made up all the rooms to have different decorative bedding. I need to test if the Set Bed Decor object works on a hotel lot, but in the meanwhile, ta daah! 🤣

There is also a bridal suite, which I made a little fancier.

All the bathrooms are in this design.

Last, but by no means least, are the floorplans for you. First is the downstairs:

and the Upstairs.

Daggers and Deception - Part I

Being shot is a real pain in the ass, especially if you're coming down with a cold. And that's exactly what's happening to this perpetually surly mercenary who has been forced into seclusion while he recovers.

But he's not the only one stuck in the middle of What Kind of Fresh Country Fuck Hell Nowhere. Someone is in the apartment next to his. Someone who knows something he shouldn't . . . and is obviously allergic to air.

Neither man is what they seem to be.

____________________________________________

The driveway is as long as a damn subdivision block, but the house at the end of it sure as hell isn't like his place.  Tall and shaded by trees, the rambling, archaic property sits by itself with no neighbors, no sidewalks.  No nothing.

When the boss said "the middle of nowhere," he wasn't even kidding.  

Goddamn it.

"Let me carry that."

Max's gruff voice at his side.  Not an offer, really.  More like he was going to do it and there wasn't room for discussion.  Typical.

Grimm grunts.  "Yeah. Whatever."  

Not like he can't manage with his good arm.  But Max isn't having any of his shit today, or any other day, for that matter.

"You're upstairs on the right," Max says as he falls into step beside Grimm, bag in hand.  "I tried to get you space on the first floor, but they're remodeling the--"

"It's fine," Grimm interrupts.  "It ain't my leg that's broken."

Max hefts the bag over his shoulder and fishes through his pocket for a key.  "You're still going to take it easy. Behave yourself or I'll see to it that we extend your stay."  He flicks icy blue eyes to Grimm.  "I mean it, Amadis."  

Oooo, resorting to surnames. So fucking terrifying.

"Yeah, yeah."  Grimm waves his good hand in a dismissive gesture.  

Not like he has a choice.  Couldn't be out in the field with a busted shoulder, much less with his arm in a sling.  The wound had been clean enough not to fuck up anything permanently.  He hopes.  At least, that was the line the doctors had fed him.  But damn, there had been a lot of blood. Lucky as hell that the bullet hadn't ripped through both sides of his body.

If one could call that a silver fucking lining.

He follows Max up the questionable facade of a staircase, the wooden slats complaining beneath his footfalls with every step.

Definitely a death trap in the making. 

"How old is this place?"

Max glances over his shoulder.  "Old."  

Grimm rolls his eyes.  

By the time they reach the third story, sweat has begun a steady trickle down the back of Grimm's neck, the small amount of physical exertion taking an unpleasant toll.  Which is stupid.  And annoying.  Fuck, the stab wound across his chest hadn't hurt as badly as this.

Max sets the bag down in front of a door that looks like it might cave in if Grimm breathes wrong and holds up a set of keys.

"The black one is the front door.  Silver is your room.  You've got a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, all of it.  We'll have groceries delivered to you once a week, but if you need anything, call Rex.  He'll make sure you get it."

"And if I wanna leave?"  

Max levels his stare at him.  "You won't."  

Hmn.  Grimm hooks a loose strand of his dark hair behind one ear as Max finagles the keyhole and convinces the door to open, carting his bag inside and dropping it in the middle of the living room area. 

"Fridge and cabinets are stocked.  Clean sheets on the bed.  Towels in the bathroom.  There's a curator on the property who takes care of all that, so she'll be by to check on you now and then. She's also a nurse and she'll help you with dressing that wound and repacking it.  Be nice to her."  

Grimm rakes a hand through his hair with sniffle.  "I'm nice, dammit."

"Uh huh."  

Max reaches into his pocket and produces a bottle with a white label.  "Take these."

Grimm eyes the label with a look of marked disdain.  Opioids. Not a fucking chance. "You know I'm not taking that shit."

 Max shoves the bottle at him.  "Take it anyway."  

He sets the bottle on the nearest piece of furniture and folds his good arm across his chest.  Too bad the damn sling ruins the effect.

"I'll be in touch," Max says.  "Rest, Grimm."

Like he has a choice. 

"I can't believe you're making me do this country isolation bullshit."  

Max's expression doesn't waver. "Believe it."  He pats Grimm's shoulder with one hand.  "And change your shirt.  You're about to drip sweat all over this ugly-as-hell rug."  

Mother. Fucker.

 "Smartass," Grimm says.

Max cracks a hint of smile. "Take care of that cold, too."

Grimm narrows his eyes. "What cold?"

Max doesn't respond, but takes off instead, leaving Grimm standing in the middle of his new quarters with a whole lot of silence and weird-ass furniture.  Floral couch with a high back and wooden feet.  A carved, pockmarked end table with wooden feet.  Mismatched coffee table with some kind of folded flaps on the side.  With wooden feet.  

"Somebody got a damn foot fetish around here or what?" Grimm mutters to no one in particular.  

Max is wrong about the "cold," but is right about his shirt.  A combination of a bumpy ride and a short stair climb has him sweating bullets.  He hefts the bag onto the couch and paws through it until he finds a black tank top.  A hell of a lot easier to manage than a T-shirt.  At least his target had the decency to shoot him on his non-dominant side.

He slips the sling over his head and pulls his arm out of the thing, grabs the back of his T-shirt with his good hand . . . and hisses with a wince.  

Fuck, fuck, fucking FUCK.

A deep breath.  A struggle.  The material peels its way from his damp skin with far too much effort, leaving him sweating and panting as if he's run a good ten miles without a break.  A shock of cold travels down his spine and he fights against a sudden wave of nausea that forces him to take a seat on the floral fuckery of a couch.

The bottle sits on the coffee table.  Beckoning.  Mocking. He flips it the middle finger and tosses the tank top back into the bag.  Fuck this whole shirt-wearing shit.

After securing his arm in the sling once more, he meanders into the kitchen, takes a quick inventory of the food.  

Chicken, veggies, some ground beef . . .and an entire shelf of instant ramen.  The corners of his mouth twitch into a smile.  Max knows him too well.

Not to mention, it's easy as hell to make with one arm.  A few minutes of boiling water, some frozen stir fry veg, and a little soak later, dinner is served.  Grimm sits at the table, palms a pair of chopsticks, and settles in.  

From the stairwell comes the sound of footsteps, a jingle of keys, and the protesting creak of a door.  A rustle of bags.  Footfalls on aging hardwood.  

Grimm tilts his head.  Max had mentioned the house was sectioned into apartments, but he hadn't mentioned other visitors.  Who else even knew about this place, anyway?  It's not like it was on the map. 

And man, are the walls thin as hell.

Pretty much every move his neighbor makes is audible from dropping the keys on the table to moving into the kitchen to put away whatever it is that they're carrying.  Or maybe Grimm's hearing is just too finely tuned for his own damn good.  Not like it didn't come with the job.  

It is not until his neighbor retires to the back of the apartment that Grimm stops being able to hear him walking and moving around.  The soft tinkle of piano keys wafts from the other side of the wall in place of movement, a wistful and almost sad melody.  Was it being played or just listened to?  Not like Grimm knows enough about music to tell.  Still, whatever it might be is oddly soothing and he finishes his "dinner" and drags himself to the bedroom for a rest.  Or maybe just some tossing around and growling.

At least the bed is enormous and inviting enough, all carved with huge spiraling posts and some kind of bars connecting them.  Maybe for a canopy or something at one time.  But whatever, all he cares about is if the mattress is comfortable.  He eases himself onto the duvet and sprawls out as much as his damn shoulder will allow.  The sling isn't exactly comfortable, but he makes do with it via a few propped up pillows and little bit of shifting around.

His eyes drift shut, the whir of the fan a comfortable, lulling nuance that nearly drags him into sleep immediately.  Or at least until the abrupt sound of a sneeze from the other side of the wall snaps him out of it.  A bitingly sharp “EKSSCH!”  And another.  And another.

“EKSSCH! EKCHISSH!”

Well, damn.

A fourth follows less than a minute later and Grimm tilts his head back, eying the wall with a raise of one eyebrow.  

He raps his knuckles on the aging sheetrock.

“Hey,” he says. “You dying or what?”

Silence. Guess the guy didn't realize he had a neighbor, either.

“Yes,” comes the curt response after some time.

Grimm chuckles. Obviously male.  Deep voice, but not as deep as his rumbling bass. Some kind of posh-ass accent, too.  

“-iihEKSSH-uuuh!”

An irritated frustration of a sound that is clearly a “stop this shit right the fuck now!” level of annoyance.

“Bless you,” Grimm says, more out of amusement than anything else.

A pause he can almost feel follows before a quiet "thank you" is issued from the other side of the wall.   

His neighbor opens and closes a drawer or two and wanders back to the other side of the house, accompanied by a few more sneezes and what sounds like a well-placed curse at one point.  

That gets another round of chuckling.

Somewhere from inside the apartment, the piano music resumes and Grimm is now certain it is, in fact, not a recording.  The man is definitely playing whatever it is himself.  With a sigh, Grimm closes his eyes again. Maybe the guy will keep playing long enough for him to ignore his throbbing shoulder and pass the fuck out.  

The fan whirs, the plaintive strands of whatever the guy is playing a nice counterpoint to the white noise.  Grimm takes a deep breath. Exhales.  Repeats.  Sweat beads his brow, threatening to trickle into his ear and the ramen feels like a ball of lead in the pit of his stomach.  A hint of a groan escapes him.  The first few days are always the worst with a wound like this.  It'll pass.  Eventually. 

(TBC . . .maybe)

Calcinidae Bay Lot Tour: the Public Schools

Let's take a closer look at a few of Calcinidae Bay's community lots - its public schooling! This screenshot is actually three lots, with two lots overlapped using the Lot Adjuster. On the left is the high school, on the right is the primary school, and between them is a shared gymnasium and a semi-public oval (sports field).

More pics & CC-free decorating ideas below!

As always, these lots are based on shell challenges. The high school and primary school are actually shells that were made for me by @hugelunatic as stocking stuffers back in 2022 (I didn't forget about them!) The shell from the gym/oval lot is actually the smaller canteen building, with the gymnasium being auxiliary (because it had to be such a specific size/shape), and that shell is a 4T2 adaptation of LilSimsie's "Yeehaw" Shell Challenge that I grabbed off the gallery.

Starting with the high school:

If you peeked at the original shell, you'll see there was a two-storey 1x1 "column "room" in the middle of the lot, which made me think of a bell/clock tower and inspired me to use these shells for schools. Normally when I adapt a TS4 shell challenge to TS2 I choose the placement & orientation on the lot, but because these lots were made natively in TS2 I decided to keep the lot size & distribution as they were. This gave me a lot of additional space around the main building that was perfect for adding extra amenities like a library.

The ground floor of the high school has an administration area, lockers, mixed bathroom, sick bay, staff room, and two general-use classrooms that can each fit six students.

The teacher's lounge/staff room, and a small display/awards case. I needed something to do with that little triangular pocket, and now it's one of my favourite features. :)

Upstairs is two specialised classrooms - a moderate science lab and an arts room. I would have liked at least a home ec classroom as well, but I guess that'll be reserved for the eventual private school.

The canteen (cafeteria) is a separate demountable building with outdoor seating, some of it under a shade cloth. The library is also a separate building with a small computer bay and a group study area.

Moving on to the primary school, a much older and smaller building with some minor remodeling so the two schools look cohesive:

The inspiration for my gameplay/lots is a mish-mash of different cultural influences, but I play my schools like the standard Australian system; kids start in reception (about age 5) and attend primary school all the way through to year 6 or 7, then go to high school from year 6/7 through to year 12. Separate middle schools are much less common, and this matches with how the game itself handles kid vs. teen education.

I design my lots kind of "representationally", to get the best balance between realism and playability. While I enjoy including some details that don't provide actual gameplay, I don't want to build enormous, cumbersome lots just to achieve a 1:1 scale when my Sims will never actually need that much space. Plus, most shell challenges tend to be smaller, which I like. Hence why this school has only two classrooms, one for junior primary and a more structured classroom for upper primary.

There is a small admin area downstairs. Upstairs is the sick bay and a modest teacher's lounge/staff room.

The primary school doesn't have its own library, but it does have a small separate building that we in Australia would call OSHC - Out of School Hours Care. It's a service parents can book to drop their children off before school starts, or arrange for them to attend after school finishes until they can pick them up. They provide snacks and some edu-tainment activities. Lots of kids also attend OSHC over school holidays.

The primary school canteen/cafeteria is also a separate building. Both school canteens use the University cafeteria stove, so with the right mod students will be able to grab food there. In addition to an outdoor eating area and a small playground, there is a little produce patch between the two buildings where students are taught about horticulture.

And finally, the lot that joins the two schools, the shared gymnasium and Calcinidae Oval.

The canteen/cafeteria itself would generally not be open during school hours. Instead, the school and/or local council would operate it for profit or hire it out to a third party when the oval was being used for local sports teams and other events on weekends, holidays, and after school hours. Right now it's set up for just such a soccer match.

The inside of the "tuckshop". There is a bathroom on the bottom floor accessible from the outside of the building, while the top floor has two changing rooms for students or local teams.

The gymnasium also serves as an assembly hall for students of both schools. I think the teachers would either have a collapsible stage at the far end of the court, or just stand up in the commentator's booth to give the announcements. Underneath the commentator's booth is the equipment storage shed where many a teen couple has probably sneaked off to make out.

The back view of the tuckshop and the carpark shows how this lot overlaps with the primary school. The existing primary school is blocked from Sims walking through it by a combination of real fences and this hidden CC-free invisible fence.

And that's it for this tour! I'm pretty happy with how these lots look, how I utilised the shells, and how they all fit together in the neighbourhood. I want to have more lots overlapping and slotting together like this to give Calcinidae Bay a more seamless, open feel, like the hood really is connected.

I'll finish this post with some floorplans - if you read all this you're a champ, I hope it gave you some ideas for your own game, and I'd love to know what you think!

Glorious 1838 manor in Birmingham, Michigan has been completely remodeled and given some interesting touches. 4bds, 8ba, $3,999,900.

It has the original side hall entrance- the wainscoting and woodwork have been painted white to brighten and freshen it up.

The formal living room is lovely and has a pretty fireplace. It's open and airy.

Love the dining room. It looks like it's in a conservatory and also has a fireplace.

But, this home has 2 sun rooms. They use this one as an informal dining room.

This is actually the sitting room off the main hall, but they have it set up as an office, so that it's convenient if they have clients coming here.

This is actually the formal dining room. I wouldn't use both sunrooms as dining rooms, though.

This sunporch is being used as an office.

The kitchen is spacious and cute. Love the sink and the checkered tile- that's different.

The kitchen eating area. Looks like they may have opened up the old pantry.

Huge family room.

Love the large, light-filled primary bedroom.

Brand new bath. The bunny wallpaper is one of my favorites and it's very expensive- notice how much of they used in here.

Love this blue striped paper. Wouldn't change a thing.

And, this beautiful room mirrors the primary. Lovely.

Note that when you've got money, the expensive animal wallpaper multiplies. This is gorgeous.

The 4 bedrooms are all beautiful and all 8 baths are new. Love the sink in this one, plus a vintage tub.

Now, here we have a family room w/steps down to a basketball court.

And, what good is a basketball court w/o an industrial style water fountain just like school?

There's also a half bath.

Grand hang out space.

Alongside the court is a home gym.

You can't really see the property b/c of the snow, but it has an inground pool, decks, patios, etc. and measures 2.38 acres.

Some general headcanons and lore I've established about the ghouls and other things in my fics. Below the cut for length.

-Hell is multi-layered, and follows the same sort of structure as the one in Dante's Inferno, except the circles are treated more like regions, and the residents of Hell (ghouls, demons, etc...) are able to freely move between these areas, but they cannot leave unless summoned and/or striking a deal with the toll man.

This is largely to ensure the surface doesn't get overrun.

While that might seem counter intuitive to the whole apocalypse/ruling the world thing, Hell likes bureaucracy... and paperwork.

...Pity the demons living in Limbo, that's where all the contracts and other bullshit gets sent to be filed.

Rain certainly doesn't miss it, that's for sure.

-Mountain used to be human, but he may or may not have committed mass murder on some monks/the former residents of the abbey, way, waaaay back when the original building was only about two decades old and got sent to Hell.

Additionally, his original home, his cottage/cabin, is still standing on the abbey's property; It's the gardener's cottage now, and he's real proud of how well the structure has kept up.

When asked, he will neither confirm nor deny the murder allegations.

-Dew is a hybrid; Water/Fire, with a smidge of Air mixed in to maintain the balance between his primary elements, but his percentages are even lower than half and half, because he's also part human.

He didn't display any "abnormalities" while growing up, so no one knew he was anything other than human... until he kind of sort of maybe smacked his head a little too hard in the woods and woke up in Limbo.

Rated it a 4/10, gets why Rain wanted to leave.

Toll man was cool though.

-Swiss is a half-ghoul, with a similar composition to Dew, except he had a vague idea of his heritage growing up, just not the full extent of it.

Unlike Dew, however, he didn't have to die in order to activate his ghoulish side.

Significantly less traumatic.

And lastly;

-The ghouls' den is laid out so that there are two communal areas, and a "powder room" (a bathroom with a toilet and sink, but no shower/bath), while their individual rooms have a sort of dorm style set up with the addition of personal, on suite bathrooms.

Mountain and Dew's dorm is the only shared room, and this is largely because of Dew's skull smacking through the thin drywall dividing their rooms, resulting in both a concussion and a large hole in the wall.

When Aeon and Aurora came along, and the dorms got remodeled, Mountain and Dew elected to remain roommates at the cost of sacrificing one of their bathrooms, because they'd gotten used to sharing.

Not this summer but next summer the plan is to remodel my basement and I am so stinkin excited!!

How will we afford this? Not a clue that’s next year September’s problem.

The basement is finished but in a, you can tell it’s a basement, kind of way, and it’s not optimally arranged for our needs. We can fix all that.

THE REASON is twofold. First, having all the school stuff upstairs does not work, not enough room, huge pain in my neck. I cannot emphasize enough how many books and activities and school adjacent things we have. And they’re constantly in danger of getting yucky because the shelves are all open and it’s in the kitchen. But this reason alone wasn’t sufficient enough to force our hand. I just kept thinking we’d just remodel the bonus room “someday” (a process which would cost more than I will ever have access to) which would allow us to rearrange multiple rooms. Alas. So that’s out, and basement remodel is in.

Second, we have to do a drastic rearrangement of the kids’ bedrooms because Miss 2 is getting bigger and will eventually need a twin bed not a toddler size, so the girls’ room will lose the desks and extras it holds, and those need to go somewhere. And, Mr. 11 will no longer be able to keep all his numerous tiny pieces and artsy things in his room. Because he’ll be sharing it! Baby #7 is a boy!!! Fortunately it’s not an immediate issue as I room share with my infants until they’re between 1 and 2, so we have time to think it through and do it right.

Thus the high elbow grease low cost solution (as husband is quite handy) is we’re going to add a wall to the good sized, oddly shaped basement playroom, splitting it into two rooms: a big kid area/school room - for all their school things and desks and arts and crafts and tiny piece toys like Lego’s and miniatures - and a baby-proof playroom. This will involve getting rid of the awful carpet down there (yay!) and ikea hacking a ton of shelving (fun!) and probably trading favors with our contractor friend (new walls need outlets.) In the most ideal of worlds, we’ll also take this opportunity to make the kind of scary basement bathroom less scary and more suitable for general human use. There will inevitably be toys in the bedrooms after this, but with the desks and mess makers gone and contained, that won’t be a problem anymore.

It’s gonna be great.
