People dont understand when i say i like maximalist decor i just mean this

Let's go on a tour!

Starting out in the entrance hallway - there are ticket counters to the sides and some benches for guests to sit on. To the right is a door which we'll be taking shortly. I wonder if the golden bollards were used to cordon off the baths when they were closed, and if they'd be positioned where I left them during normal operating hours or moved somewhere else.

Looking down towards the main baths. I love that the devs included the door that would've gone into the doorway to the changing area but put it off its hinges, off to the side. I put it back in place.

Let's take that door to the right first though. Not sure if this area would've been front-of-house when the Baths were open - it felt to me more like a small break room, with some storage space and space for workers (or guests?) to hang up their coats. Not a lot of cleanup needed here to turn it back into the state it probably was in when the Baths were operational.

The private bar area! If all the tables that the Eyeless stacked up on the side there were indeed in use at the same time then this place would've been packed super tight, and probably pretty hard to maneuver around in. Not sure just how much of the kitchen equipment is original and how much was brought in by the Eyeless, but it's clear that at least some of it is original. I assume this would've been some sort of club area for better paying guests, or maybe just a little bar/cafe place for people to buy some cake after swimming (at least that's what my family always did when we went to the pool when I was a child lol). By far not enough chairs to cover all these tables but it's possible the Eyeless dragged some to any of the areas the devs didn't actually build, like behind the door at the end of the kitchen.

Looking down from the balcony just after exiting the bar. Isn't it cool how much decoration changes a place?

Walking along the balcony, I left out the back-of-house areas for the most part here to fit into tumblr's 30 images-per-post limit and because it wasn't all that interesting to look at since really the big difference was just more dirt and dust and clutter. Just a quick glance down at the main floor from up here - I only noticed while working on this project that they actually put a little generator up here that, yes, all the lights and similar equipment the Eyeless put into the main baths area is connected to! Isn't that dope?! (Just makes me even more >:/ that they didn't actually give us any clear indication of what the "Fight" setting on Daud's machine would've done at all. No places for speakers to hang, no extra speakers in any storage area, I do not understand how the hell the fighting part of their fighting rink worked and i don't like it.)

Anyway, let's pass all those doors to the staff areas and walk right into what the minimap calls the "private baths". Not a lot to change in the sink area except to hang up a mirror (again, I love that the devs put the mirror in the map and didn't just leave it out. Makes it so much more believable of a space.)

But lord did the Eyeless do a job on the rest of the room! I'm not sure what sort of pool this would've been, it clearly had water in it since there are drains for it and there is a fountain at the end, but it's so shallow you wouldn't even have been able to comfortably sit in it. Still, I love this area. It tells you so much about the place - there's the rocks in the back, which I think are supposed to imply that the place is powered geothermically in some way. There's the round windows through which staff could've checked up on guests discreetely - if you round the corner there in the room with the dead Overseer you can look through the windows from the other side! Clearly a very cleverly designed establishment and gorgeous, too. But then the Eyeless came in and, well, you can see the results. And it's so easy to miss that the area where they keep the hounds was another pool because it's so dirty and boarded up so much.

Taking the stairs down the changing room didn't suffer quite as heavily under the Eyeless' redecorating frenzy as the other rooms, presumably because it was already set up for people to sit around and store things in.

And now we're finally down in the main baths area! The floor of the main pool starts off shallow and ends in a deeper section so you and your family can all enjoy it together. At the end there are lounge chairs set up for you to relax on, and off to the side you have three small pools to sit in, presumably with some sort of hot tub function or something. If you wanted a bit more privacy in your little hot tub there are curtains set up for you to close or open. The curtains were created specifically for this map by the way (they are called boxing_curtains_01).

The are that's occupied by little betting booth to the side was fully open originally, all of the "walls" that shut it off from the rest of the room were put in by the Eyeless - I wasn't fully certain of this at first but thankfully the minimap reflects the building as it was pre-Eyeless and on it we can see this area was indeed just part of the main floor.

I thought I could never care for anyone again, until I met you.
