See attachments. There is no real floor plan to any of the WDW Haunted Mansions as the "house" is really nothing more than a Facade (a fake out--the actual ride is hidden behind the house, where you cannot see it). As such, there are no real floor plans either. I based this on a paper model design from someone who is a huge WDWHM fan.

The inside of the house is designed based on the visible outside building lines. Since it has so many crooked turns, one will need to use the "45 degree angle" cheat to place things. I tried to keep walls as straight as possible, but if I did them all that way, it wouldn't be the Haunted Mansion at WDW.

Here is a fan image of the ride: WDW Haunted Mansion photo (http://www.ghostbreakers.com/images/disney_world_haunted_mansion.jpg)

There are some very odd curves in this house. Of course, I left it very plain for a reason. It's a HUGE house, which means a HUGE price tag. Only the basics are furnished and some walls remain incomplete because they are hiding "design flaws" (hey, every house has them). :) This means, that you can make it your own "haunted house".

Feedback?

1st floor---hallway, to your left a sitting room; to your right the fireplace room and access to garden house. Down the hall way is the kitchen on your right, two bathrooms behind the stairs, a dining room behind them, and the living room to your left.

2nd floor--open floor plan library. Stair access either via the main stair case or through the curled ones in the sitting room.

3rd floor bedrooms--Each room has its own bathroom and two have fireplaces. The stairs lead up to the attic.


**I should note that I deliberately left the landscaping empty. I only have Custom Content for my graveyard stuff and I wanted to keep this as content free as possible. This way, you can build your own graveyard. :)

First, roof isn't blue, it's more gray. And if you want to change all that diagonality, you should make house like this:

Right now house is very awkward, especially the roof. Try to improve it and then you can move on interior.

Actually, the roof is more of a green blue hue in person. I made it blue because that hue did not show up on the roof colors. :) (I'm from Florida, we go all the time. The bricks are red and the roof is green/blue).

As for the angle, I'll work on it. I kind of like how I did it this way based on the paper model (more than the real thing)(and he based his off the construction plans for the facade--which is the actual house).

It's kind of odd anyway because when you look at it from above, it does not take on the shape you drew. It takes on more of a cross between an X, T, and a cross. It's hard to explain but that's the flyover model look. :)

Oo, I love this ride! I know the roof's a green/blue, but if you can find one that's not so blue, it would help a lot, I think. If you don't want to, you don't have to, but it would give it a more 'creepy' look. And if you're decorating, these (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=93455) would be awesome if you don't mind some custom content:) That creator also has cobwebs for the floor, too.

Simgirl--I had a plan to add something that states it would be YOUR haunted house. EG: Yes, I built it to resemble the ride facade, but I did not want to clutter it up or make it look *too* creepy and over do it, so I left it plain (as it is) so that the potential homeowner could decorate with their own ambiance. As for the roof color, I'll keep playing with the colors and see if I can find one that looks a little more blue/green.

I don't have one, I don't think. But admittedly, roofs are not my strong suit, so I'll double check.

Ah, I see what you mean. I'm pretty bad at roofs. Actually, I'm pretty bad at house building in general.

It looks pretty cool so far, though.

Thanks. I even left windows off the bedrooms and lights off the walls because I wanted to make sure the home owner could place what they wanted, where they wanted. :)
