In its original form, the Goth house is really pretty musty and outdated-looking. This classy update was much needed! I'm kinda obsessed with the Goths, to be honest. They have such interesting history in the Sims games! I started a current household several months ago with just Bella and Mortimer in an effort to give them a fresh start, and I'm currently playing Gen 6 of that family. Amazing job as always! 💜

[@SimLicy]

That sounds awesome!! 😊 so happy you approve of my changes! 💜💜💜

[@jaimiesoriano611]

I like the house a lot but I feel like it doesn’t really fit the Goth family... less like a renovation and more of a complete makeover. I really wished you kept the feel of the Goth family or stayed true to some of the weird things or dark colors as the original.

[@caragedeon28]

Jaimie Soriano I agree

[@starlah8299]

I agree

[@ambermorris4510]

Yes!

[@xxr4bidr4ch3l8]

Nothing about this house is goth what so ever 😂..

[@sophia-bc1in]

I know I’m really late to replying but I just wanted to say it’s for herself and her save so she wanted it to match the surrounding areas

[@StephAF]

Don't know why people can't just accept creative differences. It looks really great and fits in with the rest of the houses you've been making for this world

[@mrselfdestruct7605]

Because there's a difference between a renovation and a complete makeover. People are allowed to be unhappy that the goths,one of the original families in the sims franchise, completely lost their style and quirkiness in this build. It's not the end of the world for people to want the goths to have a you know,goth house

[@luke_is_i6392]

Honorary Tuba it it’s her save file and she wanted it to fit in with the neighborhood. She even stated that she wanted to make it her own build.

[@vin4a]

Mr Self Destruct they’re legitimately fictional characters. it’s not the end of the world for people to make over the goth house. it’s a game, stop getting so pressed

[@norah5244]

I think it looks awesome. Y’all do know she bases the builds off of a neighborhood. So the goths house has to look identical to other houses.

[@seera1192]

@@mrselfdestruct7605 you are an idiot

[@mirandamelodiemiller5049]

This house is gorgeous like all your builds, it just doesn't fit the family in my eye. No blame on you and it's your style, but it feels like a "normal" family home and not the Goth's one. Their last name *is* Goth afterall which means I'd keep the house similar to the old style which is kind of dark and gothic. But hey, it's your build and not mine. No one forces me to use it. Just my opinion on it and I'm sure many people will like it

[@SimLicy]

I totally understand where you are coming from. Thanks for the feedback! 😊💜💜

[@elernation5519]

Miranda Melodie Miller I think the surname shouldn’t mean that the family is gothic.

[@edenplayle49]

@@elernation5519 your right. Their last name is Goth... Dosnt mean they have to be gothic. Its like saying someone with the last name 'strange' HAS to be strange because it's their last name. 😂

[@nancylandgraab2301]

@@edenplayle49 I know I'm super late but the Goths have always been gothic. We're not saying because their last name is Goth means that they have to be goth. It's just as an original family from the first game and have basically always stayed the same they would like to see their house in the same vibe.

[@darkchocolate9349]

@@elernation5519 you have a point but it’s the quirkiness of the sims franchise

[@tritter15]

I like the exterior, as it fits better with the aesthetic of the rest of the house, but the interior definitely seems contrary to the whole Goth-aesthetic. I know you probably don't like the darker, victorian-esque theme, but you really missed a great opportunity to really explore the vampire stuff pack with the whole house. It's not necessarily you, either, I've seen lots of simmers renovate the house, but it always ends up as just looking like a completely different house for a different family.

[@SimLicy]

Thanks for the feedback 😊 I don’t necessarily mind dark color schemes or gothic styles. I wanted the house to be brightened up but still traditional and old looking. 💜💜

[@lisarico89]

As someone who has never liked this house I really appreciate that you took it in a different direction. I think it’s lovely and that it fits the personalities of the Goth family real well. There are tons of Goth house makeovers that stick to the original style/color scheme. I personally prefer your version. Great job! 💜

[@SimLicy]

Aw! Thank you so much! That’s kinda what I was thinking, I really just wanted it to be my own and I think I achieved that 💜💜💜

[@oshinsims]

I love what you did to their home. Less vampire Goth and more willow creek Goth. It's beautiful! You did an outstanding job, love 💜 I want to play with them in this home 😂

[@vireo5472]

I think people in these comments don't know entirely what "gothic" is.. It's not just dark reds and blacks! It's a whole style of art, fashion, and architecture, and not just the "edgy goth" stereotype of today. Plus, the original Goth house has a lot of items that don't fit in as gothic thrown in there, whereas the renovated one has a cohesive theme to it. And the exterior was always too distracting in game for me personally. This looks great!

[@SimLicy]

Thank you! I always found it distracting as well. And I totally agree that most seem to attach gothic only with mainstream gothic styles. Glad you liked my renovation 😊💜💜

[@Ously6]

So I’m going to start by saying this house is absolutely gorgeous. I love using your builds as a framework for what I eventually build... especially that secret agent room. Absolutely amazing. 10/10. But I’m gonna say all the bright colors are an absolute misstep in making a home for this family. They’re the goths. They’ve built a legacy on being different. Macabre, dark, odd. And I think making everything so bright and lively is a bit of a misunderstanding on who the Goths are. So while I definitely used this home as a frame, I could not bring myself to step away from that gothic style. Not for this family. Everything on my build is ending up, surprise surprise, dark and gothic. Still, it’s a gorgeous home. Beautifully done.

[@zoekemp8655]

I think this was a MAJOR improvement to the goth house! I never really liked the original house and I felt it was too unrealistic to a house in real life. Your perspective on the family and their house is perfect in my eyes as it is still very unique to the family but more like a house in real life and this is exactly what I pictured a revamp of the house to look like. Good job, you are a very creative builder! 💗

[@Housewarmin]

* 10min. left of my lunch break.* 40 min video? of course, I can watch!

[@mckenna5446]

Sincerelyy Eccentric same tho

[@SimLicy]

Plenty of time! 😎💜

[@georgiegirl7623]

I've never really had any inclination to play the Goth family, but with this renovation I have a huge urge to now. Alexander looks like a worthy future candidate to crack the case of Strangerville. 🤔 I'm so inspired! Thank you so much for this and all your builds! I am so looking forward to your save file! 😄

[@shesblessedx3]

This is nice I just wish that you kept it closer to the Goth families original style and the roof top offfic. Imo

[@matildap6793]

super interesting how you’ve kept the same sort of style but with a more modern look. the exterior makes way more sense in Willow Creek than the original!! you deserve way more recognition 💛

[@SimLicy]

Thank you! I really wanted the house to fit Willow Creek 😀💜💜

[@klis4979]

I love this renovation! I feel like it's a completely new yet clean update, yet you still had the house have older and darker elements (ex.using dark wood for furniture, vintage items, etc.) so I'm really happy with this build. I know there are people that wanted you to stick with the theme of the old home, but I am not one of those people because I personally feel like you found a balance between your own design & the Goth's family style. LOVE it!

[@eldritchbaobun9976]

The lack of quirky macabre in their home is a little disappointing, but as a generic renovation it is quite good. A basement in Willow Creek is an interesting choice though, wasn't it based on New Orleans?

[@Emily-th5fp]

I love this Reno!! I wouldn’t mind if you shared these renovations more often they’re AMAZING!!! 11/10

[@SimLicy]

Thank you!! 💜💜💜

[@TopsyDora147]

I like the new house, but not for the Goth family. I would have an average large family live in it. I'm loving your renovations.

[@mariahchill9601]

I love the look of this Goth house waaay better! Looks amazing, I feel the same way about the house needing to be more sophisticated this is much better, the wood accents, pictures, and the cleaner look, it still looks like gothic and old/updated and adding in the entry way, I also love that you deleted the top of the house, not really sure why they did that in the first place! it really looks beautiful

[@ChrissiesCorner]

I love what you did with their house! I've never liked their original house, it always looked so out of place and like it hasn't been renovated in decades! Definitely not somewhere I'd imagine Bella living! This though! I can definitely see Bella having guests over, maybe for a Holiday party or something and being happy with how the place looks! I think Alexander would appreciate having a real room now too :D

[@SimLicy]

Thank you!! That’s exactly how I felt about their home. I felt Bella definitely needed a place to be proud of, and where she can entertain. 💜💜💜

[@Jayariee]

I think that dated, dark look was the point. The Goth family is one of the eldest in sims

[@ChrissiesCorner]

Yeah that makes sense, I just never liked it personally :)

[@emanong]

love how you put clutter items on the microwave. such a nice touch ❤️

[@SimLicy]

💜💜💜

[@Kurbitsimssv]

I agree with what someone else said, that the house doesn't fit the Goth's style. Although, another thing I don't really like is that the rooms are so square on the floorplan. With old houses like this, I feel that it's more realistic with a lot of nooks and crannies. But that's just my building style, I guess :) Love your channel.

[@Siviaknows]

I’ve been downloading all your renos and placing them in my personal save! Thank you for saving me the time and doing it way better! My sims and I are happy for the change of scenery

[@haley1235]

Sure there last name is goth but I agree. Just because there last name is goth dosnt mean they have to be gothic. 😞 I love the family but I always hated their house I don't know why but it's just so dark and Alexander's bedroom does not make any sense adjust table a bed on the third little floor I just hate it but the way you've renovated it is very beautiful and I like it better this way thank you for being an awesome KZbinr and please continue the building

[@nancylandgraab2301]

I know I'm late but, the Goth family have always been gothic, this is how they were named, "Goth" and they've always been like that since the first game. Some people prefer it that way. I respect your opinion is well though.

[@maxwelladownes81]

wtf? they're name goth cause they are literally a gothic family???

[@whereislaylaa]

I LOVE THISS first off happy that you went in a different direction (I personally always wanted the goth house to be more fitting with everyone elses I know they are og and have always had a gothy type house it always made me mad that tbh in my opinon i really dont want them to be all dark and goth like just because the last name is goth doesnt mean they have to have a dark house) U dont deserve the hate tbh luv what u do :D

[@eileenmarie1652]

Definitely better. I think the Goths are more of a sophisticated family. Not dark etc. Also the Gothic style of building is actually super super brightly colored and looks like a fairy threw up on it. I took an architecture class and those are the exact words my teacher used lmao 🤣

[@Zweetieville]

Very beautiful renovation. It like a dark vs light change. Fits the neighborhood better.

[@sophiakerov8864]

You're such a good builder! 💜 p.s. you are growing so fast! I remember when you had like 20k subs lol.

[@SimLicy]

Thank you!!! 💜💜💜

[@ScoobySnacks8687]

I never really felt like the originally EA Goth house fit them. I think that your build is beautiful and it suits them! Keep up the great work 💜

[@sophiag612]

Aw I really wish you kept the goth house vibe

[@mattb995]

You’re so creative and talented, your builds are amazing. I really appreciated the refreshing take on the goth family you’ve done, the house is beautiful. I think the angry comments against the changes are totally bizarre? I think they forget that this is YOUR save file and you can do whatever you like with it 😂

[@dreajp]

Even though this doesn't fit who the Gothic family is, that doesn't mean it's not great for them. She's trying to be realistic by giving them a great home but making sure it fits within the area they live in and the neighborhood's aesthetic.

[@marianmy]

You never cease to amaze me when it comes to your builds/reno! I loooove it!

[@SimLicy]

Thank you 💜💜💜

[@LAURA---]

When you turned that painting into a mirror it blew my mind lol

[@LAURA---]

So clever!

[@kaitie-m-edits]

I can understand why some people may not feel like this suits the Goth family, but I think you successfully captured the elegant vintage style that Bella would decorate with. And the architecture makes me think of New Orleans or Savannah! Absolutely stunning, as usual!

[@olivia.martin]

The colour scheme/aesthetic of this build reminds me so much of Bella’s/the player’s house in the PSP Sims 2 game!

[@SimLicy]

That’s awesome! 💜

[@luke_is_i6392]

I like what you did with the house. When ever I view the willow creek world and see the original goth house I just feel like it looks out of place.

[@SimLicy]

Yay! Thank you! 💜💜

[@SimLicy]

Exactly! Thank you 💜💜💜

[@savvvysavvv1934]

Honestly I originally wasn't a fan bc that's not how I imagined the goths, but if I download it I'll just edit it to darken some of the colors. Idk why people are making that big of a deal

[@MyBubbleInSpace]

I agree. The color scheme doesn't really fit the family but the overall aesthetic really does. So just changing some of the walls and furniture to darker swatches would probably help a lot!

[@mrselfdestruct7605]

If people saying "I personally don't like this " is people making a big deal out of this,you need to go outside more often

[@WHAATEVEN]

This is the colour scheme I always thought they should’ve had and it still really suits their style! Great job, the vampire stuff works great in here.

[@farrahlynn7084]

Love the makeover! It kinda reminds me of like a real old southern home like a house you would find in the deep south. I can just imagine it being in Louisiana & having a high society southern family living in it.

[@KareBearTLC]

The Reno actually reminds me of a New Orleans style house! I love it!

[@niyaragray5435]

I like the house but I wish you just renovated and not redid the entire house. I feel like you got rid of the the gothic/dark style that they are KNOWN for having ..but to each is own. Still very pretty

[@mizage2255]

I love it! The game obviously is all about the players own imagination.. it is a digital dollhouse! So why would one criticize anothers creativity? Just... don‘t watch it?

[@mrselfdestruct7605]

People are allowed to criticize things and have an opinion Karen

[@rahmel2009]

I wanna go play with the Goths now...I have before and I renovated their house and moved Alex to the second floor with everyone else and use the weird third floor room as the office/man cave but I believe this was back when all I had was base game...I haven't even thought to go back and remodel their home with the vampire stuff...*facepalm* Great job! I love this!

[@theminisimmer]

I love it! I actually really like the idea of a tower room, so I think the fact that Alexander had a tower to himself is pretty cool. I wish I had the Vampire pack so I could download this :(

[@lysak89]

[@xxhoneysucklexx1545]

Unlike almost everybody in this comment section shaming and hating on the house, I actually like it a lot. Plus guys, she renovated it to fit in her save file. If you don't like it than why did you click on the video? Either way good job on the build!

[@simsyworld6692]

oh my god the house is so beautiful and colorful! youre such an amazing builder

[@Meme-bc1sw]

I love it! The Goths are definitely classy and dark, but not as much as the base game portays. I feel like EA tried to copy the Addams Family a little, but I like how you made it feel original. It looks like a beautiful old house that a rich family lives in

[@DosaPandora]

I LOOOOOOOOVE this build. Reminds me of the architecture in New Orleans, just stunning!

[@tracischaefer5697]

Reading some of these comments even now is just pitiful. If you don’t like it, don’t use it? I personally think she did amazing with making it fit the area while also have regal touches. Gothic is not just about dark colors, it’s a whole architecture? Gothic architecture has ornate details and these beautiful pointed arches, large areas.. I think this house beautifully shows that

[@Lauren-kr3ew]

I love the exterior of the house but for the interior I wish you'd used the red and black accenting for majority of the house as that is the Goth's signature colors (but I did love your outcome btw too)

[@emilyisawaytoo5146]

Personally, I like it how this house stands out, BUT if you like it that's really all that matters! Putting that aside, it's a great build 💕

[@emilyaird9564]

Idk what some of these people are going on about. The house looks amazing and it definitely matches the goths personality. She has done way better than any of yous could have done, so stop criticizing.😊

[@nancylandgraab2301]

I really appreciate the interior! You can definitely edit the goth family to match their room but kept the personality the same. Although I wish the exterior was kept in its Victorian form.

[@lecx5190]

i love the house so much and i think you should start a series of remaking all the people for the houses

[@swannage999]

I disagree with people saying that because the family is called GOTH, everything should be dark and drab. You haven't even added that much colour, you've brightened things up here and there, but you've definitely kept the old, regal style of the house and used the correct furniture and decor. You remodelled the house based on what the Goth family is to you in YOUR mind, so don't know why some people are giving you a hard time. You did great!

[@alexlittlestar]

I love what you did with it! Absolutely beautiful as usual!

[@JessicaPancake2]

Wahh this never showed up in my feed :( I would have clicked straight away if it did! Anyway I found it 😜 I adore this build! The Goth house is notoriously hard to renovate and you have totally nailed it girl!!

[@RoseBaggins]

This house definitely looks like it belongs in New Orleans ... except for the basement. There are no basements in Louisiana due to the water levels (hence why no graveyards either, really). But other than that, I can definitely see this as a house one would find on a tour of New Orleans!!

[@tauwill]

I love what you’ve done with the house!!!

The inside still has a vintage style which i think is perfect for willow creek because I've always felt the goth house never fit in. Deffinately will be building this and giving the goth family a makeover! ❤

[@Jayariee]

I wish you atleast kept it somewhat dark and Victorian, i think the name 'goth' and what we've known from their sims history just calls for a certain theme. This was a complete make over/new idea rather than a renovation

This interior is so lovely! I’d love to see some kind of old looking house that’s been modernised but has the basement converted into a teen boys/young adults lair? Like, he has his own entrance and whole little place down there and never intends to move out of his parents house?😂

[@ilovepickles3838]

I clicked on this video thinking it was gonna be like maybe 20 minutes... it’s 40 minutes long. And I have a whole 64X64 lot to furnish... time to listen while I build!

[@kendalroyco]

Idk why a lot of people dislike what you did to this place, i think its amazing and very needed. Yes the goth houses have always been weird and had that creepy vibe throughout the sims franchise but the sims 4 house was so ugly and unbearable, especially the inside. The renovation is pretty and i think suits the WHOLE family. It still has that authentic, glamourish feel to it that the goths always represented (and the inside of the house in my opinion still holds a bit of that creepiness, its not gone completely) but the house is also modernized and renovated and fits in with the other houses in the neighborhood and if it DOES stand out it stands out in a nice way, a way that bella would want to stand out. I feel like she’d want to fit in with everyone, not live in the “creepy house” of the neighborhood. Anyways good job

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

So glad I've found your channel. But you should definitely have more basements and vampire builds.

[@simmingmommy7672]

Love it! I tried renovating the Goth house but I felt locked into the red and black color scheme. I like yours much better and it still suits the Goths.

[@Bronzeflame2489]

GAH THAT SHOOT OF THE DINING AREA LOOKS SO REALISTICLY GOOD ???m?m???

[@atrinoisa]

I feel like, as a renovation for a *different* family and *not* the Goths, this makes perfect sense and it looks gorgeous. I don't feel like this fits the Goths at all, though. They are meant to be dark and...well...gothic. I would probably use this house for a family moving in after the Goths have all grown up, passed on, and moved out. (not necessarily in that order.)

[@atrinoisa]

It's also making me want to create a "Alternate Universe Goths" story...where the Goth's are super ritzy and not at all Gothic...that could be fun!

[@rilapanda8146]

Beautiful renovation! I love the kid's room, I think it's so cute...

[@SimLicy]

Thank you! 💜💜

[@juni6381]

The gothic vibe I associate with the Goths is certainly lost, but I also associate them with a victorian elegance and upper class, which I definitely feel you have maintained in this build. Within the drawing room especially; the atmosphere is incredibly glamourous and I can visualize Bella and Mortimer entertaining their guests in such a classy fashion there. I love your builds, they are so inspiring.

[@thatdruidboi]

Now I'm anxious to see the Goth family makeover lol

[@AbrahamLure]

Hey, I only just started watching your videos, and I just got back into the Sims 4 so I apologise if these are really basic questions Do you make these houses using only EA content? Or do you use mods at all? Also, one last question! Can I download your houses individually? The Goth house would have been one of the hardest to do from a KZbinr perspective, as everyone has so much nostalgia for the Goths, the original Sims Mansion dwellers! I'm torn between copying their Sims 1 design (as terrible as it is in today's Sims standards lol) vs using your pack. Maybe I'll try both :P
