The Color Scheme Will Set The Scene:
When you think of a haunted house, what
colors come to mind? While haunted
houses do not need to be dark and
gloomy, a muted color scheme helps.
Look around Forgotten Hollow, for
example. Vlad’s mansion is dark and

Use Debug To Add Grunge:
The debug catalog in The Sims 4 is an
amazing tool for building any type of
structure. You can access debug items in
the Sims by entering the following into
your cheat console (opened by pressing
ctrl + shift + c)
bb,showhiddenobjects
and
bb.showliveeditobjects
You can then access a plethora of new
items by searching the term “debug” in
the search bar at the bottom left of the
build buy menu.

Haunted houses tend to be older homes,
usually from the Victorian era and style.

today, tend to have a more closed-off
floor plan. Each area of the house is a
separate space and colors change and
shift throughout the home. . A closed-off
floor plan helps make a home spooky
because you never know what is behind
that wall or around that corner.
*Note: TwistedMexi has a fantastic mod
that puts debug items right in your
regular catalog. The Better Build Buy mod
has a learning curve, but once you are
used to it, this mod makes life so much
easier and objects more accessible. Be

Use items from the regular catalog and
the debug menu to add grunge to your
haunted house. Cracks on the walls,
stains on floors, and creepy dolls sitting
in a corner can all help you to create a
