I was so inspired by this pack I built 2 houses for it! This has the new unique lot type “haunted house” which you need to set in order to experience the new pack.
I think this build shows just how moody and eclectic the items can look when styled this way. The homes are built with just the Paranormal and BG to push myself to see just how i could use just those packs together, and really showcase the items.
What I like: pretty much everything. I like how the items are clearly different from other styles from previous packs, but can also be used in conjunction with BG content to fill the gaps that are unavoidable with the size of an SP. The clutter you get in this pack is also really lovely. There is even a cowplant terrarium!
They really did pull off the bohemian/eclectic style in my eyes. The standout items for me is the floral wallpaper in really rich colours, the MCM-style sofa and armchair, and the cylindrical metal side table.
There are also some great debug items you can get from playing the haunted house or the gig career.
What i would have added (or going to add): Like a lot of packs, the MCM style sofa and armchair really needs a loveseat. That should be easy to add once I get my hands on an updated S4S. The more classic style seating also needs a sofa version. That may be a bit tricker to add. I would have loved to see a bed in the style as well (BG beds suck, lets be honest here).
There is a large plant in a jar and would have like if it was a tad smaller and could be used on surfaces. one of my fave decor items we got and would have made it even more useable.
This is a stuff pack though, and I really love the direction of it. It’s more about experience and environment, a trend away from say “Luxury Party Stuff” we got way back when. If this is what the team are moving more towards, I think that is a good move. But at the end of the day, it is still a stuff pack, and will not be fleshed out like a game pack or expansion. That is just the way the packs are structured. But it is making them far more appealing. Is it going to be for everyone? No. But i like that some of the quirkiness is coming back.
