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!

Carshalton Park Rd: Edwardian Semi-Detached Duplex with 3B/2B/1Car.

Originally uploaded to MTS on August 1st, 2021.

Carshalton Park Rd
Semi-Detached Duplex
based on a RL freehold property in England
2 Apartments
3 bedroom - 2 bathroom - driveway
- small house - pet friendly - fenced yard - Edwardian end terrace -

~~~ No CC! ~~~

I found this house on-line through Zoopla, UK; the listing is no longer available.

The listing said: Are you looking for something with Character and Charm? Then this beautifully presented three-bedroom Edwardian property is for you... This spacious family home offers a wealth of period detailing and character with ground floor accommodation comprising; two bright reception rooms, one of which has patio doors opening onto the south facing rear garden, together with a dining room opening to a stylish fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. On the first floor are the three bedrooms and a stunning four-piece bathroom. Outside there is a lovely mature rear garden... and at the front there is a smaller garden.

Please enjoy touring the rest of this build by scrolling down through all the pictures.

This duplex is part of a mini-series I am doing of British Houses. (Scroll down to the very last two pictures to see them all!) I hope you will enjoy them all. 😁 Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Both apartments are simply furnished and decorated. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The stoves, grills, and fireplaces have smoke alarms. Front doors are burglar alarmed. Each level has a telephone.

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 in the driveways. Remember, if you want to have cars, you must place them on the driveways before moving any sims onto the lot. The cars will be community property - usable by any and all residents.

This is a pet-friendly build. No pet items are included - but there is space to add them.

Possibly used but NOT included - so, you may need to GO get it:
- I use the Lifestyle Build Bundle wallpapers/floors ALL the time. (follow the link and it's the second link in the top post - extracted 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.)
- And, pictured in the 2nd floor bathroom is Lunie's Backless Shower - which I have defaulted. If you don't have this shower, the game will substitute the regular walled shower for you.

Thank you, Mootilda for the awesome Lot Adjuster used to make this lot.

There is No Custom Content Included...
However, the roof is Zero-FAB_MaxisSlateRoof_Bullfinch (pictured here)
Download it from SFS - you will want to get the following two files:
-----> [eclectica]_Zero-FAB_MaxisBaseGameSlateRoof_Recolours.rar
-----> [eclectica]_FAB_MaxisRoof_ShaderOverlay.rar
I didn't include the roof because it also needs the shader file.
The game will automagically substitute the grey roof, if you don't want to click through and get this one.

Lot Size: Lot-Adjusted 20X20
Lot Price (furnished): $157,487
Rent (furnished): $3,671 - $3,710 (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.
