Kirlicues Sim Lots

I am a long-time Sims enthusiast who loves building houses. I purchased the Sims back in early 2003 but it wasn’t until I discovered that it was possible to build houses that my interest in the game took off. With the release of The Sims 2 I was able to go far beyond the original game in my architectural creativity!I like creating beautiful things, and building pretty houses is very relaxing and soothing.

My build style is probably more classic, than sleek and modern, though I do enjoy exploring different styles regularly. I like neutrals, earth tones, and things that evoke a feeling of coziness and relaxation.

One of the other aspects of this game that I really like is the challenge of playing a nearly cc-free game because it forces me to get creative with putting wall textures and furniture items together. Not that I always succeed in this area, but I like mixing familiar colors and textures in ways that keep the game new and fresh.

I like to focus on the good and wholesome-there's enough negativity out there to draw us down. So look for cheery homes built for vibrant, close-knit families, and community lots with small-town charm. The kinds of places where everyone knows your name and where neighbors are always happy to help. ❤

Since I have quite a busy life outside of the Sims I will probably not update this site often, but it is my hope that you enjoy the bursts of creativity that do happen. :)

PS: Until I can get things put back together here are links to my downloads. You will need to have all EPs and SPs installed for them to work: Community Lots Folder: SFS | MF Residential Lots Folder: SFS | MF Maxis Makeover Lots: SFS | MF

At one point I had the SDHB in some of my lots, but just make sure you run the Lot Cleaner on them and that should squash any unwanted super friendly hugging actions. 😅

This is my attempt at a “starter house” for your sims.

Spoiler: It’s not in the starter price-range though. 😆

Regardless, it’s a cute 3x3 lot for smaller families, or for those sims who want a slower-paced, country lifestyle without investing in the whole farm.* It’s also a part of a series of small quaint, country houses in pretty pastel colors.

*If you’re one of those folks who would love more nature and trees than you know what to do with, don’t worry, I have sprawling farm lots coming in a future update.

Let’s take a tour, shall we?

Back: Yes, there is a little garden plot hiding off to the left. 

For pictures of the floorplan and interior, keep reading!

First Floor: Living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom.

Second Floor: Kids bedroom, master bedroom, bathroom, and office nook.

And a few inside shots, because I like to see how things look with the walls up and ceiling on.

I’ve run this home through the Lot Compressor and through the Lot Cleaner so any random references to sims that aren’t there should be removed. I also added a spiffy custom thumbnail so it has even more curb appeal in your Lots and Houses bin. 🌟

This home is nearly CC free. It only has two items, and these can easily be replaced or omitted if you don’t want them.

CC List (included): -Maxis Match Wall Cabinets by CTNutmegger over at ModtheSims -Garden Swing of Bliss and Harmony (Pre-order bonus for Seasons)

Here is a resource list of the Default Replacements I use to improve the look of my game, as well as “Maxis Lost & Found items” to add a little more variety.

I play a mostly CC-free game but I’ve also included a list of the tiny amount of “Maxis match” CC that I use, so if you download my lots and you have these things installed the houses should look like they do in the previews. 😊

Can you believe the Sims 2 is over 20 years old!? It will look like it’s hardly aged a day after you put these defaults in. 🤭 I also recommend Reshade for a truly up-to-date experience.

This is a large, modern home with lots of space for your sims to relax, both indoors and out!

The living space is a bit broken up due to the stacked-blocks shape, but that should keep things interesting (and hopefully not too annoying).

Fun fact: This is a rebuild of a lot that I made back in 2010. I built this lot and the original lot that became the Towering Brick Estate right next door to each other back then. They were supposed to be similar in shapes (blocks), yet different styles (modern vs. more classic). If you noticed these 2 lots have similar layouts, this is why. 😄

Here’s what’s on the different levels of this home, and a top-down view of what they look like:

First floor: Kitching/dining room, living room, game room, bathroom.

Second floor: Master bedroom, office nook, lounge, bathroom, family room/office, gym.

Third floor: 2 kid/teen bedrooms, 1 bathroom.

And, just in case you want to have a view inside at room-level, I’ve included a few of those shots too:

This luxurious brick house is a towering 3-story estate for your rich sims. It features a pool, pool-house, and a large, fenced back yard. I’ve shared the download link at the bottom of this post, so keep scrolling down for that. 😊

It is fully furnished and has plenty of activities to keep a large family busy.

Here is the first floor: It includes the living room, kitchen and dining area, garage, and pool house.

Second floor:  This floor has a child bedroom and bathroom, a family room, and a master suite with bathroom en-suite.

Third floor:  This floor has lots of room for exploring your sims’ hobbies, as well as a guest bedroom, half-bath, and another small bedroom that could be used a nursery. (You’ll have to pick that crib up and place it straight against the wall since I found out cribs are unusable on the diagonal after the fact).

Here are a few interior shots to give you a better feel for the look of the place:

This home does have one flaw. Since I used gates and pillars right along the edge to make the tall fence the game seems to have issues keeping them with the lot on the right side when it saves. I used the ‘setquartertileplacement on’ , and the ‘moveobjects on’ cheats to place them. It is easy to add the wood pillars back in, but it is something you will need to do every time you reload the house, or you’ll just end up with a bunch of iron gates lining that side of the lot (See the picture below). I hope you will still love this lot and get enjoyment from playing with it despite this issue.

Update 2025: Despite being built on a brand new lot, this house was infected with the SDHB, and I couldn't seem to get rid of it until I changed the fencing from hanging slightly off the lot to being entirely within the lot grid. This means the look has changed slightly from what I shared originally, but I think the adjustments still fit within the aesthetic of "large and imposing brick mansion". 😂

You can see the changes in the picture below. I moved the side fences in one block, added a fancy low hedge, and took out the gates at the back and replaced them with the wrought iron fence. You can use "move objects on" to place gates along the back wall of the lot when you play, if you wish.

This classic Colonial-style home has shuttered windows, multiple fireplaces, and a beautiful garden area. It even has a modern attached garage! This lot is unfurnished except for basics (kitchen and bathrooms). 

I put the download link at the bottom of the post, so just scroll down to find it. 

Here is what the front of the property looks like:

The back of the property has a secluded sitting area for your sims to enjoy peaceful evenings in nature.

This is what the floor plan looks like. Colonial floorplans are typically pretty basic, which should make house easy to play, and your sims should be able to navigate it well.

Second Floor (master suite with bathroom, 3 bedrooms, bathroom):

Third Floor (optional 5th bedroom/office, bathroom):

This is a quaint country cottage based on actual house plans that I built for my Sims 2 game years ago. This past week I completely rebuilt and refurnished it! 

It’s a 2 bedroom home, but it has an office that can be turned into an optional bedroom if you need more space. 

The living room and kitchen area are rather small however, so I see this house being more suited to elder sims or young couples who don’t plan on having large families.

Speaking of the kitchen, what it lacks in dining space it makes up for in counter space! The lot comes with the bar-style seating you see in the picture above,

however, if you wish, you can remove the bar and place a small dining table instead.

Upstairs are the 2 bedrooms: A spacious master bedroom, and a small guest bedroom. Since this lot uses almost no CC you get a duplicate rug from downstairs. 😆

This is what the upstairs floor plan looks like:

This home uses the Maxis Match Wall Cabinets by CTNutmegger, and the Chimney Recolors: Masonry Set by Kimsie over on ModtheSims.

This magnificent log cabin resort home is situated on a steeply sloping beach lot. It is surrounded by towering Fir trees, and has its own private dock!

The 2 main levels have areas for gathering, a large kitchen, and cozy fireplaces. There is also a spacious dining room overlooking the lake. At the top of the home is a large bunk room that sleeps 4. The bottom level of this cabin has two separate suites with their own private bathrooms.

Outside there is plenty of space for picnicking, sunbathing, and swimming with your family. This cabin is open year-round and is a great place to spend your summer or winter holidays.

Are you sold yet?

Here are a few more shots:

This house has no custom content, but it requires all EPs and SPs.

Some additional notes about this lot:

I used the “SetQuarterTilePlacement on” cheat to position a few things on this lot. If your sims get stuck, or the lounge chairs are not usable, you can simply delete the chairs and re-place them, or turn that cheat on by hitting ctrl-shift-c and entering SetQuarterTilePlacement on in the cheat box at the top of your screen. Then after hitting enter, press ctrl-f to activate it. Move the item until it’s not blocking whatever it was before. press ctrl-f to turn the cheat off. I don’t anticipate that you’ll run into this issue, but just in case you do, hopefully this helps.

The pictures shared here are all unedited, straight out of my game. If you want your neighborhoods to look like this here’s what I’m using:

CuriousB’s default replacement grass terrain

Lowedus’s Sky Box

Great Cheesecake Persona’s Seasons enabled skylines

Dread Pirate’s Maxis Match lighting mod

ReShade. I recently installed this program following the info in this Reddit thread. I am not the most adept at using it yet, but there’s a slight possibility that the saturation and texture sharpness of the game may be slightly improved by this addition. If you wish to install ReShade on your computer, be warned that this is a more involved process. Unfortunately, I do not have time to help you figure it out. (I’m still not quite sure how I managed to get it working on my computer haha!)

The terrain map I built this lot on is this one from ModTheSims.
