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!

Modern Style 1 Story Ranch ~ 3B/3B/Gar, pool, and gardens. Min CC

Originally uploaded to MTS on July 24th, 2020.

This house is built from floor plans I found on line; I made very few changes to the original plan. The laundry room/bathroom area between the garage and kitchen is a bit different - the two rooms are swapped, and in place of a powder room there is now a full bathroom. I also reworked the bedroom closets and Master bath to better suit TS2. I hope your sims won't mind too much!

Built from these floor plans:

The Gavigans tested this lot for me - Isaiah loved the TV and computer in the 'office' (If it wasn't raining so hard, he'd have probably rather gone swimming!) Their first visitor was the garden-club lady and she was duly impressed with the gardens. I didn't stick around to see if she offered them a membership right away, but she really liked the peacock statues in front ...Mary was too engrossed in the local newspaper to go out and talk to her. *sigh*

Please scroll through all the pictures below to see everything this house has to offer. The house is fully furnished and lightly decorated. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The stove, fireplaces, and grill all have a smoke alarms. The front door is burglar alarmed. The telephone is located to the left of the front door.

This is a clean copy of this house; no sim has ever lived here. The package has been cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer.

There is parking for one vehicle in the garage. The driveway is shortened, so there are no driving animations of the car leaving/entering the lot.

NOTE: The lounger placed on an angle by the fireplace in the living room - it may need adjusting/moving before anysim can sit in it.

Pictures were taken with the following items in place, but they are NOT included:
- Backless Cheap Shower and Tub/combo by HugeLunatic(HL)/MTS2
- ValueWoodLumber's Justa Door - REC in ALDarkWood by Michelle/MTS2

Some of the wallpapers may be from this bundle:
- The Lifestyle Build Bundle wallpapers/floors. (It's the second link in the top post - extracted from Lifestyle Stories by Argon @ MATY) This 'bundle' lives back in my Bins folder so it doesn't have the CC star. If you ever enter one of my builds and find it has blank/unpapered walls/floors, it is because they are from this bundle and I didn't realize it. So, either substitute the wall/floor of your choice, or go get this bundle and re-install the lot (from your lot bin.)

Definitely needed and NOT included - you MUST get this before installing this lot:
- Unlevel Wall - #90 by Numenor/MTS2 - (Installation help is at the bottom of my TOU page)
If you don't install Numenor's Wall #90 before entering the lot, there will be missing wall sections or pieces of the WroughtIron fence in place of walls. Here, the wall is used to allow the clerestory windows to work around the living/dining room.

Custom Content Included, by Me:
- IntlGlimpseOfFreedom REC Dk Brown

Custom Content Included:
- Window Intl - mid by HugeLunatic(HL)/MTS2
