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!

Simple Rectangle - Modern Box: Plan #520-4

Simple Rectangle
Modern Box: Plan #520-4, by Irish architect Frank McGahon
This floor plan comes from HousePlans.com
3 bedrooms - 2.5 bathrooms - space for 2 cars
balconies - rooftop viewing deck - built on an extreme slope
You will need my Max Slope Mod
fully furnished
- No CC -

The website says...
"Plan 520-4, by Irish architect Frank McGahon, is a simple rectangle with solid end walls and all glass side walls. The great appeal of the window wall is to unite inside and outside while framing both. The trick is to beware of exposure; even insulated glass can transmit heat and cold. The roof can be adapted as a deck. This 1705 square feet contemporary style 1 bedroom, 1 bath design recalls Philip Johnson's famous Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut of 1949."

I have modified it for TS2 to have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

...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. 😎
