If it were me, I would start by adding glazing to the windows. I suspect you can get it in a sheet to do them all at once. I use freezer tape to make shades, some closed, some half closed. I have had good success finding photos and scaling them down to fit my buildings. A little interior lighting would go a long way as well.
 
I have used all of the three above posted solutions. Additionally, I go by Home Depot and pick up handfuls of those paint sample cards and cut them up to use in some situations. Another thing that I do, is to scan the window sheets that come from kits and print duplicates to use elsewhere.
