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!

BarnsWorth House ~ 3B/2.5B/Garage, pond, pool and skylit atrium

 Originally uploaded to MTS on July 17th, 2011; 

Now Updated for the UC/UltimateCollection; and rebuilt with less CC!

Whatever happened to that old barn down the street???

BarnsWorth House
Contemporary - with a traditional feel.
Green - (well, actually red =P) built with reclaimed wood and locally harvested stone.
and Solar - panels can be integrated with the roof; bringing sunlit warmth to your indoor "grotto" pool

Reduce.................Reuse..................Reclaim..................Repurpose..................Recycle

 "The advantage of passive solar heating is a significant highlight of this contemporary design. The huge skylight over the atrium provides shelter during inclement weather, while permitting the enjoyment of plenty of natural light to the atrium below and surrounding areas... The stone floor will absorb an abundance of heat from the sun during the day and permit circulation of warm air to other areas at night. The conversation area between the two formal areas will really be something to talk about. The broad expanses of roof can accommodate solar panels should an active system be desired to supplement the passive features of this design."
- from Home Planners, Inc./Solar oriented designs.

2021 UPDATE: I removed almost all of the CC, and it is repackaged from my current UC game.
The only CC still included is:
- TBudgett's Retaining Wall mesh and pertinent recolors
- TBudgett's 2T & 3T LaFenetre Window Add-ons
- MaryLou's Independent Expressions 4T privacy window
- Frillen's Glass Block floor - which apparently has been removed from MTS?
- Kitten's "Kamin Hole" Fireplace/Bookshelf set

- You may need to have Numenor's Unlevel Wall - #90 - I use this wall all the time as it is such a forgiving wall to build with 😉
NOTE: If you decide NOT to use Numenor's Wall #90, there may be missing wall sections or pieces of the WroughtIron fence in place of walls.

And (not included) I suggest you use:
- Sophie-David's Invisible Driveway so the driveway pavers look right.

I am leaving the older files up on MTS - if you really want all that old CC...

Lot Size: 3x4
Lot Price: $162,761
