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!

Old Farmhouse and Barn ~ 4B/4B/Gar, Barn, Basement - Min. CC

Old Farmhouse and Barn ~ 4B/4B/Gar ~ Minimal CC

This is the fourth - of about eight - in my little Farmhouse Series... And, the one that started it all. It's based on a picture I found on-line.

Just look at that gorgeous old farmhouse, pictured below! Imagine the stories it has to tell! I just had to build it for my Simmies!

I spent several years living in Kentucky, USA; during that time I visited as many farm-houses as I could. I absolutely love the mix of all the different architectural elements that many of these old houses have. A lot of them were built out of necessity - so, are very practical in their original layout. They were usually "added on to" whenever needed - so, new babies meant new additions. And when 'indoor plumbing' became more practical, bathrooms were worked in where possible - and not always where you'd expect them to be nowadays.(But hey! At least it's indoors!) If the farmer had a good harvest that year, then maybe they could take some time to 'prettify' the old place up a bit. All the work was done by hand, of course... By their hands - the people who actually lived there and used the place.
When I saw the picture on-line, I imagined what the inside must be like. I based this floor plan on the outer shape of the building, and other farmhouses I have visited. I used as little CC as I possibly could - I hope you can find some Gingerbread trim (CC) to 'prettify' it up a bit!

  

Please scroll down through all the pictures to see everything this house has to offer. The house is lightly furnished. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The stove, grill, and fireplaces, all have smoke alarms. The front door is burglar alarmed. The telephone is on a central wall.

This is a clean copy of this house/lot; 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.

This is a pet-friendly build. Pet items are not included, but there is ample space for them - two bathtubs are accessible for dog washing. 

Pictures were taken with the following items in place, but they are NOT included:
- OFB Euro Door in MM woods Front door REC by Amythestfenix
- Invisible Driveway by Sophie-David/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.)

Custom Content Included:
- Chic Stairs MAIN - made recolorable by HugeLunatic(HL)/MTS2 - these override the original stairs.
- Chic Stairs - Open Underneath by HugeLunatic(HL)/MTS2 - requires a script file so follow the link and make sure you install them properly!
