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!

The inspiration for this build comes from an image that scrolled past my tumblr dash - it may very well be AI generated - but it is a lovely idea, and I had to sim it!

AQUA
...a part of the Big Butte desert hood I'm working on.
Community Lot with 2-Step Foundation
rooftop infinity pool - restaurant - bar/lounge - disco
shopping - barrista - restrooms - playground - parking lot
Minimal CC

This lot was tested in Belladonna Cove, but because it is one of the business lots in my new desert hood, some of the pictures were taken in the desert locale. It will be included with that hood, when it is released... someday soon!
Meanwhile - here is a preview version of this lot for your own hood.

This lot has been hanging out on my desktop for a LONG time... I recently used it in one of the hoods I'm working on, and thought to upload it as a stand alone house too. It is kinda quirky, and I like it!

Simple Rectangle - Modern Box: Plan #520-4

Simple Rectangle
Modern Box: Plan #520-4, by Irish architect Frank McGahon
This floor plan comes from HousePlans.com
3 bedrooms - 2.5 bathrooms - space for 2 cars
balconies - rooftop viewing deck - built on an extreme slope
You will need my Max Slope Mod
fully furnished
- No CC -

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.
