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 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."😉

Good Basic Design

2 bedrooms - 1.5 bathrooms - oversized garage - multiple terraces/patios
plenty of room for hobbies and pets - laundry area - space for 2 cars

Richard Pollman and his partner, Irving Palmquist, did much to popularize mid-century modern house design. They are credited with over 2,500 house plans. This "4-in-1 floor plan" is from a book on his philosophy of house design, published in 1946. It is a part of his Designs for Convenient Living series.
