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!

BellaDonna's Rest ~ A Cemetery ...with secrets! Only 1 CC.

Originally Uploaded to MTS on Oct. 25th, 2014. Now rebuilt, with less CC.

BellaDonna's Rest Cemetery
...is truly a beautiful Lady's place of rest.
The Grey Lady, herself, is in fact, laid to rest here.

The peaceful park-like grounds are quite extensive; and besides the cemetery's main chapel building, there are 3 other buildings - mausoleums - on this lot. Each one holds a different secret - meant to entice your Sims into increasing their fun and social skills whilst visiting their dearly departed friends and family members.

The Grey Lady's Mausoleum (indicated by her statue on top) is said to be one of the Count's favorite haunts (no pun intended. 🧛 LOL!) His eternal poker game is set up inside, and ready for your Sim to play. There is also a small necter bar in the corner of the room.


In the Chapel itself, you'll find a warm and inviting sanctuary; though it is a bit small. Larger funerals are better suited to the back terrace - which is equipped with a lectern and overlooks the peaceful "Saint's Garden." Restrooms are located near the Chapel entrance.

The pet mausoleum (with the gargoyle statue over the doorway, and several pet memorials outside) is where you will find a festive bubble blower to aid and enhance your Sims paranormal experiences.

The third mausoleum is affectionately known as the "Green Eyed Monster" - and is the perfect place to take your date. The cold stare of it's lone inhabitant is sure to make any date yield to your [sim's] comforting embrace.


There is plenty of room around the grounds to add your own plots, and an open grave is ready and waiting for your first victim erm, poor unfortunate soul.
Please NOTE: there are currently NO actual graves/urns/tokens on this lot. It is clean, and meant to be a 'starter' cemetery. A copy-lot was tested for routing issues. No living soul has ever set foot on this lot.

A full apartment is located underground for the - uh, Undertaker's family. (Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket!) The apartment includes a full kitchenette with small fridge, dishwasher, trash-compacter, microwave, espresso maker, and sink, a flat screen TV with gaming system, a computer, phone, bookcase, chess table, dart-board, and easel, also a formal dining table, two comfy couches, a dresser and, of course, two over-padded coffins, sure to provide the most peaceful rest ever! The apartment is suitably decorated with artworks and lit by candlelight. It is fully sealed against daylight. The entrance is through what appears to be a bathroom door. (If playing as an owned business, keep this door locked against your customers!)


This lot is packaged as a Community lot. If you want to actually use the apartment for living (or... whatever), change it to a residential lot like this: how to change a lot's zoning. Then, make it a home business like this: Home Businesses - and add a ticket machine to generate income.
---> The lot was adjusted with Mootilda's Lot Adjuster and her Grid Adjuster - thank you, Moo!
