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!

Donna: MidCentury Design V12756 ~ 3B/3.5B/Garage, 2-Step Foundation

Originally uploaded to MTS on April 10th, 2021.

Donna
MidCentury Design V12756
2-Step Foundation
3 bedrooms - 3.5 bathrooms - attached garage
- sunken living/dining room - pet ready - patio -

~~~ Only 1 CC: HL's SimplePassageStairs (optional) ~~~

"The sunken gathering room/dining room is highlighted by the sloped ceiling and sliding glass doors to the large rear terrace." Enjoy!

The floor plan comes from the book One-Story Homes, published by HomePlanners, Inc in 1991. An on-line archive of the plan is HERE.

NEW: With Simler90's Stair Mods, HL's invisible SimplePassage stairs are no longer needed! They are included, but optional. Delete them for a CC-Free lot.

Please enjoy touring the rest of this design by scrolling down through all the pictures. I hope you have a family of sims with pets who will enjoy living here.

This house is fully furnished, and lightly decorated. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The stove, grill, and fireplace have smoke alarms. The front door is burglar alarmed. The telephone is in the kitchen.

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 two vehicles; one in the garage, and one on the driveway.

This is a pet-READY build. Some pet items are included - the 'laundry' room is a pet-care room with a tub and a litter box, and a food bowl just outside the door.
NOTE about Large Dogs: I've noted on the FloorPlan picture where the invisible SimplePassageStairs are used - these stairs are were the only way large dogs could access 2-Step foundations when I built this house. NOW large dogs can run up and down 2-Step foundations with ease using Simler90's StairMods.

Definitely used but NOT included:
Get these items if you want the house to look exactly as shown in the pictures.
- The siding is from the Lifestyle Build Bundle. (If you followed that link, 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 I used ones from this bundle and forgot to mention it. So, either substitute the wall/floor of your choice, or go get this bundle and re-install the lot (from your lot bin.)

You will also need to get:
- Simler90's Stair Mods for the 2-Step foundation to work for large dogs (IF you remove HL's SimplePassage invisible stairs.)
- Unlevel Wall - #90 by Numenor/MTS2 - used to fix CFE'd wonky walls around the garage door. (Installation help is at the bottom of my TOU page)
- I would also recommend getting the Invisible Driveway by Sophie-David/MTS2 - so the pavered driveway looks right.

Thank you, Mootilda for the awesome Grid Adjuster and Lot Adjuster tools - both were used to make this lot.

Custom Content Included
- Simple Passage Modular Stair by HugeLunatic(HL)/Sims2Artists - these need a script file - so follow the link and make sure you install them properly! Or, they can be removed if you have Simler90's StairMods.

Lot Size: 3X4
Lot Price (furnished): $107,363
