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!

Florida Style Suburban Ranch #C6842D: 3B/2.5B/2Gar - 2 Step Foundation

Originally uploaded to MTS on Feb. 11th, 2021.

Suburban Ranch #C6842D
3 bedrooms - 2.5 bathrooms - 2-car garage
- furnished - pet ready -
on a 2-Step Foundation

~~~ Only 1 CC used: ~~~
HL's SimplePassageStairs (Optional now)

The original floor plan is included, below. I made very few TS2 adjustments. I have no clue where the floor plan came from? I've had it in my collection since 2008, or so. An educated guess has me thinking it is a modular home design? Most of the houses built within the last 40 years, here in Central Florida, are of this style. I've also got a reversed plan - here - with an added bed/bath, and a pool. I hope one of these Florida style houses catches your sims eye!

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

This house is fully furnished, but lightly decorated. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The stove and grill have smoke alarms. The front door is burglar alarmed. The telephone is in the Utility Hall behind 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 four vehicles: two in the garage, and two on the driveway.

This is a pet-ready build. Pet items (for dogs & cats) are included - both tubs are accessible for dog washing. NOTE about Large Dogs: HL's SimplePassageStairs are were the only way large dogs could access 2-Step foundations when I originally built this house. NOW large dogs can run up and down 2-Step foundations with ease using Simler90's StairMods. (So, you can delete HL's stairs before installing - just untick the box in the 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. (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.)
- 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 tool used to make this lot.

You may also want to get:
- Simler90's Stair Mods for the 2-Step foundation to work for large dogs (IF you remove HL's SimplePassage invisible stairs.)

Custom Content Included:
- Simple Passage Modular Stair (optional) by HugeLunatic(HL)/Sims2Artists - these need a script file, follow the link and make sure you install them properly!

Lot Size: 5x2
Lot Price (furnished): $126,953
