Welcome to my Sims 2 Blog!

This blog is to keep track of all my Sims 2 (TS2) stuffeths. I mostly "build" - houses, apartments, recreational, and community lots - but, I also create walls (and murals), floors, terrain paint, and various other recolors. And I've written a few tutorials too. 😁

All of my items are available through Mod the Sims - MTS2: CatherineTCJD.

Most of my stuff is also posted on Tumblr: A Peacock's Tale.

And I'm slowly adding things to Simblr: CatherineTCJD.

I also have an archive of everything I have made on SFS: CatherineTCJD.

Thank you for visiting!

Simple Rectangle
Modern Box: Plan #520-4, by Irish architect Frank McGahon

The website says...
"Plan 520-4, by Irish architect Frank McGahon, is a simple rectangle with solid end walls and all glass side walls. The great appeal of the window wall is to unite inside and outside while framing both. The trick is to beware of exposure; even insulated glass can transmit heat and cold. The roof can be adapted as a deck. This 1705 square feet contemporary style 1 bedroom, 1 bath design recalls Philip Johnson's famous Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut of 1949."

I have modified it for TS2 to have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

Desert Nomad House

This floor plan comes from Amazing Architecture
1 bedrooms - 1+ bathrooms - space for 2 cars
BBQ patio - office - garden

The website says...
"The volumes that contain each separate zone have a single aperture from which each sun-lighting event can be enjoyed. Each of the volumes is slightly elevated and independent from the others, requiring a desert walk on footpaths to move between them. These paths connect visitors to the land and reinforce the house’s purposeful isolation. Our desire to care for the site’s fragile nature prompted the elevation of the volumes, allowing water and animals to move freely beneath them. This way, the landscape of eons ago remains as undisturbed as possible despite this strong visual intervention."😉
