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!

The Mole Residence ~ 153 Main Street, Desiderata Valley - Maxis MakeOver

Originally uploaded to MTS on June 7th, 2015. 2022 update with only 1 CC.

Here we have John Mole's house: the floorplan has been redesigned, a second bedroom and a powder-room added, the pool enlarged, and the roof fixed. All done while maintaining the integrity of the original EAxis/Desiderata Valley house (I hope!)

Updated for 2022 - with only 1 CC!

The color scheme is still predominantly black and white. The furnishings are still modern... and, John's prized telescope is right where he left it! However, the bathroom and kitchen have flipped places. The kitchen's appliances were upgraded and a counter height dining island added (which is where the 1 piece of CC is needed!) The bathroom has lost it's tub - but the new shower is top-of-the-line! The Master bedroom, though basically the same, feels a little less cramped, and the added second bedroom, though tiny, is perfectly livable.

Entryway:

Security is the top priority for John - so, there is a new security system, with the newest, fastest internet/wifi/cable/phone lines all freshly installed. Outside, in back next to the telescope, there is a chess-table, exercise machine, easel, grill, and dining table. The pool has been widened and a few extra lounge chairs added. A second gate has also been added off the side of the driveway.

John absolutely loves his new house! Now, when he meets the "right" one, he can easily settle down and start a family - without any worries!

If you want to replace John's original house with this one - you will have to move him out first, then bulldoze the original house, and replace it with this version. Then move John back in. Make sure he has enough money to afford the new place - his new digs cost $62,916 simoleans! 

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 on the driveway.

Pictures were taken with the following item in place, but it is NOT included:
- Invisible Driveway by Sophie-David/MTS - if you want to see the dirt...

The brick pavers may 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:
- Counter-Dummy Island by HoneyWell/MTS2

Lot Size: 2x2 (Same as the original EAxis lot.)
Lot Price (furnished): $62,916

More pictures: Pictures are from my original upload on MTS. For this 2022 version, I have fixed routing and foot-stomping problems in the bathroom, and removed most of the CC. But, I did not retake pictures...
