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!

I love Thai food - and the country's culture; but I don't have an ounce of Thai blood in me. I also appreciate fine architecture, which is what drew me to this floor plan. So, I did some on-line research. Here's what I got:

this is a CORNER lot with a 2-Step Foundation, built with the (Grid-Adjuster)
UNfurnished & ready for you to decorate
...with one CC set - tBudgett's Maxis-Match PineGultcher build set

Do you remember the 80's? Boy, I do! ...like totally!
...But the 1980's were more than just neon colors, big hair, Madonna, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, MTV, righteous toys, and most excellent games like Nintendo and Pac-Man. It also had it's own awesome iconic building style - postmodern "contemporary" architecture (which is, sadly, no longer contemporary today.) Houses from the 80's often present asymmetrical facades, geometric shapes, unusual rooflines, and stone accented features against a mix of vertical and diagonal wood siding. It is an eclectic mix of patterns, fer shure.

This build was a request from Testarossasosa on Tumblr. Their request was what started me down this path - for the whole "The 80's Called" series. LOL!

The second floor allows for expansion over the garage."
