Halloween is my favorite holiday, so of course I wanted to do something special to celebrate. So I'm building a haunted hospital/asylum. I used to work at a psychiatric hospital that still had very old buildings on campus and at least one was rumored to be haunted. This build is loosely based on that building. I also looked back to the old days of "psychiatric care" when family members could have someone committed and leave them for years or even for life (there was a cemetery for the hospital I worked at for the people who died while there in the late 1800s/early 1900s - for decades the headstones had numbers instead of names). So I tried to show the difference between the lobby, where families would be convinced everything was lovely and wonderful, and the wards that were often overcrowded, had no kinds of comforts, and people were locked in if not locked down. Not all institutions were like that, of course, but many were, and I wanted to show that separation between what administrations would sell and the reality of what they were really peddling.

I still have a lot of nuance and detailed decoration to add, but the main build out is done.

There are 2 more ground floor apartments in back that I didn't get pics of yet.

Repurposed this dilapidated building in Sparkling Skylands to be a nightclub. I think the vibe is kind of "industrial discoteque". Thinking about fixing up a house or habitat to move DJ Room in.

I built this in WW for Mew. Intended to move the mural into their part of the house, but in the meantime had an apartment set up with things from their comfort tag list. Took Mew to it and of course they agreed to move in but then left immediately. I gave time for them to explore, find all the stuff I'd left, etc. and went back to ask about their comfort level.Mew was floating around an empty stone hut I hadn't demolished yet talking about how they really like this house. I went over and asked if they wanted to move in, got a definite yes (don't remember exactly what was said but clearly more excited than at the big house) and Mew floated right on in to get comfortable. Well, so much for making plans...

Alright, so who am I to say what my mons should want...if Mew's happy I'm (sorta) happy. The problem is what to do with that build. Do I just move in other mons? (they are all already housed with awesome comfort). Do I maybe modify it for a specific mon type, like a haunted vibe for ghost pokemon? (Most of my ghost type are in RR in a crypt setup). Tear it down and reclaim the materials? I just can't decide. Anyone have suggestions? I'd like to think "out of the box" but can't come up with anything really unique for it.

Thanks!

Built this in Withered Wasteland. It's nothing fancy, really simple in fact, but I kind of like it. I think the thing I'm happiest about is I came up with the idea before I saw anyone else's desert and adobe type builds. I'm not usually very creative so having an original idea gave me a smile.

Have to give credit to my husband who helped me figure out what materials to use. I think the result has a pretty authentic adobe look, maybe a bit bright/orange_y but overall gives the same feeling.
