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!

SimCity RV ~ Retirement Village ~ a 55+ Community (2022 Update)

Originally uploaded to MTS on Sept. 28th, 2018. Now with less cc for 2022.

Welcome to Simerica's Premier 55+ Community

Why you should retire to SimCity RV? Affordability - Activities - Location
SimCity Retirement Village is one of Simerica’s most affordable active living senior communities. We offer an exceptional range of recreational and social amenities. It is a safe place where residents feel secure while enjoying a year-round outdoor life style. (Shamelessly stolen rhetoric from Sun City Center.)

Please scroll down through all the pictures to see individual units and floorplans. We offer four different single-wide Park Models - each decorated in it's own distinctive style. With rents just over $1000, retirement living just got easy! All units are fully furnished with a double bed, night tables, mirrored closet, a full bathroom with a combined tub/shower, a kitchen with stove/range, fridge, in-wall trash receptacle, and eating bar/counter, plus living room seating, a TV, bookshelf, telephone, smoke and burglar alarms. All but one unit has a computer (there's room for it, I just didn't include it.) Each unit is geared toward a different hobby; with the hobby item included. When you scroll through the pictures you will also see all of the other "common area" amenities, which include: hot tub, train table, dart board, golf putter, exercise equipment, instruments, fire pit, and several grill/picnic areas.

The Clubhouse, with it's own kitchen area and bathrooms, has non-stop Poker and Mahjong tournaments. (My sim-elders pretend the Poker game is actually Bridge) *sigh*
Outside on the "Back Porch" - it's always five o'clock somewhere is the only rule...

And, what's retirement without fishing?

These 4 apartments range in rent from $1063 - $1066, and are intended for one or two sims - preferably elderly/55+
NOTE: Cars do not come with the lot, you will have to visit the property before anyone moves in and add them yourself. All common area items (including the cars) are available for any sim to use.

This lot has been play-tested; everything is accessible and in good working order. Each unit has a phone. Smoke alarms are over all stoves and grills. Burglar alarms are by front doors.

Pet items are not included; but these apartments are completely pet friendly.

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.

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.)

You will need to get:
- Castaway Stories Crotons extracted by Havelock/MATY
- Food Prep OMSP by SilentLucidity/MTS2 - to use the kitchen bar/counters for food prep.
- I recommend invisifying the driveways with Sophie-David's Invisible Driveway

Custom Content Included:
- Bumper Crop Redwood Fence by amovitam/Simblr
- Backless Tub/Shower by HL/MTS2

Lot Size: 6x6
Lot Price (furnished): $244,509
Rent (furnished): $1,063 - $1,066 (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.
