Sims 2 Virtual Realty: Swamp House ~ Handy-man Special: 3bed/1.5 bath + driveway

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!

Swamp House ~ a "Handy-man Special"

This home, originally built in 1937, was one we looked at when we were looking for a new home in 2017. But... it was too far away, too far 'gone' - needing waaay too much work, and ...well ...swamp. The Zillow Listing is still up if you want to sneak a peek! I tried to faithfully recreate the actual house, without any CC. Alas, a few bits of CC were needed...

Please scroll down through all the pictures to see everything this property has to offer. I wish I could've conveyed the mustiness, saggy ceilings, and large wasp colony that was living in the corner of the Florida room... but, maybe it's better this way? 😟
In the Floor Plan shot below, please note the mudroom is the half bath (sink and commode,) and it has a door to the backyard.

This lot has been play-tested; everything is accessible and in good working order. You are downloading a clean copy if the lot - no Sim has set foot in it.

A smoke alarm is behind the range hood in the kitchen. The phone is on the wall by the chess table. There is no burglar alarm. The furniture and decorations are intentionally sparse - everything for your Sim's basic needs is included. Please personalize it to meet your sims whims.

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.)
- Invisible Driveway by Sophie-David/MTS2 - so the grassy driveway looks right.
- Backless Tub/Shower by HL/MTS2
- Castaway Stories Papaya Trees extracted by Pescado/MATY (the 5th file down, under Castaway Stories.)
