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!

240 Desmond Drive ~ Maxis Make-Over as Duplex Apartments: 1B/1B - NoCC

 Originally uploaded to MTS on Jan. 17th, 2020.

In the middle of Belladonna Cove's thriving business district
sits this rather under-utilized property.
The lot behind it is home to a huge communications tower.
The guy across the street has a very loud helicopter that lands on his rooftop - at all hours of the night.
And, the water retention facility a block over doesn't always smell so fresh...

The original structure on this property looked more like a business to me, than a house. So, the idea of an apartment popped into my head. I thought about adding a few more levels to it, but ultimately decided to keep it one level, as originally conceived.

So..., now it is a duplex.



I hope this will be a useful addition to your Belladonna Cove. Please see the last photo for neighborhood placement, if you want to replace the original lot. (You can, of course, put this lot anywhere you want to!)

This is a clean copy if the lot - no Sim has set foot in it.
The package has been cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer.

This lot has been play-tested; everything is accessible and in good working order. The phone is on the center wall. There is a smoke alarm over the stove. There is NO burglar alarm. Remember - if you want to have a car available (and it will be a 'community' car - usable by either resident) you must place it on the driveway before moving in your first sim.

No CC Included

Lot Size: 3x2 (same as the Maxis lot)
Rent: (furnished) $1,908 - $1,980  - scroll to the bottom for help renting a Furnished Apartment

How to rent a Furnished Apartment:
- Bring up the cheat box with CTRL-SHIFT-C.
- Enter the following cheat: boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true
- Walk your sim to the front door of the apartment that you want to rent. They need to be standing right in front of the door.
- Clear any actions from your sim's queue - including other sims trying to talk to them.
- SHIFT-click on the door of the apartment you wish to rent and choose "Rent Furnished."
- If the action falls out of your queue, your sim probably needs to be closer to the door.
- Once the apartment is rented, bring up the cheat box again.
- Enter: boolProp testingCheatsEnabled false to turn the cheat off again.
