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!

1980's Ranch Style House ~ 4B/4B with Skylight - Minimal CC

Sunken living room (check), loft with lounge (check), atrium with skylight (check), chrome kitchen (check), purple 2-headed hippo (uhhh...)
Here is a Ranch Style Home reminiscent of the 80's. No, the purple 2-headed hippo was not available - sorry.

The original 2011/BG lot was a test of building skill back in the BaseGame only days... before such things as the stage tool for split-stair landings and adjustable roof slope-angles became available. In the rebuild, I have fixed a few inconveniences - there are no more 'stompie' traps; and the lot has a pet-washable bathtub in the sunken Master Bathroom. While I was at it, I added a second Master Suite and a gameroom with bar - both upstairs.

The only 2 pieces of CC included in the 2020 Remade version are:
- Transparent Floor Tile/Now You See Me by Frillen @ MTS2
- Invisible Ceiling Lamp by NixNivis @ NixedSims
Both are needed for the "Skylite" to look like an actual skylight.
