While watching The Secret of NIMH, the human house caught my attention. It was just asking to be built! I started with the facade, making it as big as needed. The top floor frieze reminded me of the one in Life & Death, and everything else changed to match. As it looked out of place in Willow Creek, the house was moved to Ravenwood. Although it still stood out from all the village beigeness due to its white exterior. 

After spending so long on the exterior, I was excited to decorate! The vibes were supposed to be similar to my modern winter house, which had been mostly white with small doses of purple and blue. However, after using my favorite bed from the pack in a dark swatch twice, I had to chose the lesser one, which lacks a lilac or a completely white swatch.

For the better or worse, the build took so long an update was released, and with it came a stunning bed in a pastel rainbow swatch! The objects were a tad too colorful compared to the duller color scheme, but I used them regardless. By the way, the new shelf can be hidden under objects, so only the clutter is poking out! To get rid of its shadow, delete the wall to move it further back or just size it down.

Considering the time sims builds usually take for me to finish, I was wondering what people thought of releasing them earlier, but as a shell; and how much, or rather the things, it should include. In the end, I decided to delay the unfurnished version until the build was finished, and that proved to the useful, as I was able to caught some pesky mistakes.
