Chapter 33.5: Expansion Recap

This isn't really a story update. Just some pics of the house, which is a mess.

In this shot, teen Melody kindly walks downstairs to the basement, turning on all the lights. The stairs are outside, much to my annoyance (I had nowhere else to put them), so they lead to a room filled with plants and a burglar alarm (though I think burglars always go for the front door). The rest of the basement is protected from the elements, as there is a door between the stairway room and all else.

Walking through that door, you'd be greeted with Randy's brilliant paintings, and some other stuff.

Leona makes this picture of the outside stairs and laundry room window more interesting.

My favorite addition was Arthur's room, in the basement under the basement. It's my favorite because I made the rooms exactly the size I wanted them. They didn't feel too big or too small, unlike every other level of the house.

After the trip to France, I added the resulting glowy fly to Arthur's dresser. In this pic he's a teen again.

The first level basement has a section of general storage (a drink bar, exercise machine, sculpting area), which also holds the stairs to the second level of the basement. The general storage and second stairway is accessible through a silly saloon door on the side of Jazz's massive study... which grew a sort of second half. Also a dive well.

The harvester looks particularly menacing on display. Another one of the displays has a death flower, but I didn't take a close-up. Also the stolen car artwork is down here, where the cops are least likely to notice.

This place is also a graveyard for family portraits that turned out... unflattering.

What a mess. Also, Melody gets pregnant. Spoilers!

The front of the house.

The back of the house.

More consistent window placement? Who needs it.

Adult Arthur, still wearing the same PJs, decides the saloon door sucks. But that's just too bad.

Garage. Already an adult in my game, Melody developed the stupid vehicle enthusiast trait, and has named the Tofunda Wagon Maurice.

Laundry room. Bleh. The little different colored tables in the corners make me happy, though, as does the surviving original wallpaper behind the stairway. It's also in the bathroom, but the bathroom is likely to suffer a remodel.

Etc.: This entry wasn't necessary, but I threatened to show off the house expansions.

Not wanting to be known for my empty threats, I figured I'd best follow up.
