#kirlicuessimlots

Here is a very tiny 2-story modern home, built on a 1x1 lot. It features a variety of textures and colors, comes lightly furnished, and is perfect for your single sim guys. It will set your sim back §28,116.

The original 1x1 template was created by MaryLou at MTS.

Let's take a little tour of the outside first. Modern homes tend to have lots of fun angles and this tiny house is no exception.

There's a patio in the back, and that's where your trash can is. You can move it back up to the front of the lot with the "moveobjects on" cheat if you don't want it here.

And another view of the front so you can appreciate all those angles and time spent going, "how can I make these boxes more interesting?". 🤣

What do you think? Are miniature modern homes going to be something you place more of in your neighborhood? 🤭

Let's take a look at the floor plans and then maybe it will be easier to make that decision.

1st Floor: Down here is the living room, bathroom, and kitchen/dining space.

Those stained concrete floors remind me of the base game before any EP's or SP's came out. 🥰

2nd Floor: Up here is the bedroom. There's also spots to play chess, and to paint pictures.

The dresser and those loft windows are Maxis "Lost & Found" Items that you'll have to grab separately but I'll include links at the bottom of the post.

And, it is possible to put a double bed up here, should your sim guy happen to find Mrs. Right, but it will require shuffling a couple of things around.

I’ve run this home through the Lot Compressor so any random references to sims that aren’t there should be removed. I have also run it through the Lot Cleaner to remove any bits of buggy code. This lot comes with a shiny custom thumbnail so it has even more curb appeal in your Lots and Houses bin! 😄

This home has 2 pieces of CC which are Maxis "Lost & Found", or pre-order bonus items that you may already have in your game. These can easily be replaced or omitted if you don’t want them though.

CC List (Not Included): -MANDAL dresser from the Ikea Stuff Pre-order Bonus -Maxis “Lost & Found” CAS Loft Window at Mod the Sims

Default Replacements Shown: -White Wall Top Texture Replacement by Maranatah at Mod the Sims -Holy Smoke stairs clear glass (as opposed to blue) by tvickiesims

I ALWAYS recommend using the Sims 2 Pack Clean installer to install lot files.

These two different community gym lots are built and decorated in a similar style but their exteriors are painted to look different. 

Puns and cute plays on words are a notorious part of the Sims games, and because I have a few playfulness points I’ve tried to have these lots follow in that legacy with their names.

First up is the small “Gym-in-a-Box”, named for not only its more boxy shape, but also the shape of the lot (2x2).

This little gym is 3 stories tall and provides your sims with lots of options for exercising, or soothing their over-worked muscles. You will need to download the Maxis Lost and Found Fixed CAS Window to get it to look exactly like the pictures. The window is not included in this download. Since this is an object that came with the game, but was hidden, I don’t really consider it CC, however, if you do please feel free to replace the 3rd story windows with the regular High-Tech Loft Window that is visible on the front of the building (also on the 3rd story) above the front doors.

This lot comes lightly furnished and would most likely benefit from some added décor should you desire to do that. It should be functional without any extra fussing though.

Alright, let’s see what you’re getting with this small but serious gym:

1st Floor From top-left: Hot-Tub, Vending machines, bathrooms, entry area (with “healthy” meal options [regular grocery freezers]), main workout space, side-entry.

2nd Floor From top-left: weight room, vending machines, bathrooms, the rest of the floor is open to first story.

3rd Floor From top-left: ballet studio, bathroom, sports massage studio (could also be a physical therapy office).

CC-Free, but all EPs and SPs are required.

Don’t forget to grab the Maxis/EA “Lost and Found” CAS Window Fixed if you do not already have them in your game.

I’ve run this lot through the Lot Compressor so any random references to sims that aren’t there should be removed. I have also run it through the Lot Cleaner to remove any bits of buggy code. This lot comes with a shiny custom thumbnail so it has even more curb appeal in your Lots and Houses bin! 😄

I ALWAYS recommend using the Sims 2 Pack Clean installer to install lot files.

The link for this lot will be at the bottom of the post. Keep scrolling. 😊

Next up, it’s The Slim Gym, so named because of the lot shape (5x2) it is built on.

This lot is fairly sizable so if your computer is good enough you should be able to have your sims enjoy exercising with a plethora of not-so-fresh-smelling patrons. What could be more fun? 😂

You will need to have the Maxis Lost and Found Fixed CAS Window  installed to get it to look exactly like the pictures. That window is not included in this download. Since this is an object that came with the game, but was hidden, I don’t really consider it CC, however, if you do, please feel free to replace the 3rd story windows in the black corrugated siding section with the regular High-Tech Loft Window.

I realized after packaging this lot that I also have the Freetime pre-order bonus poster hung in the ballet studio. It is included, but you do not have to install it if you use the Sims2Pack Clean installer. This is an original Maxis/EA object however, so you probably already have it in your game.

Let’s have a look at those spacious floorplans, shall we?

1st Floor From left: pool, shower and locker rooms, hot-tub, weight room, locker rooms and showers, vending machines, main floor bathrooms, treadmills, staff offices, or offices for personal trainers/nutritionists, and the entry area (with “healthy” meal options [regular grocery freezers]).

2nd Floor From left: open to floor below, upstairs sitting area above pool, small back patio area, ballet studio, sports massage/physical therapy office, bathrooms, vending machines and eating area, the rest is open to the floor below.

Since there is a bit more space in this building, I’ve taken a couple of pictures of how some of the rooms look. You’ll notice that the interior of this building is very similar to the first gym. Feel free to redecorate it or move things around if you like.

Now I need to design a “Just-Right Gym”. Not too big, not too small… 🤣

This row of 5 cheery storefronts built on a 5x2 lot is the first in a little series of community lots to give your small towns some character.

The thing that sets these lots apart from other user-created lots you can put in your game is that they were designed for decorators!

I’ve heard from several people in the community that you enjoy how relaxing decorating can be, but coming up with the building shape is another story.

I prefer building as it’s a lot like playing with Legos was when I was a child (back when square and rectangular blocks where pretty much the only options). 😄 Sure, I don’t mind slapping a few basic pieces into a house, but spending hours painstakingly decorating is something I just don’t have time for. 😅

This is where you come in!

The lots in this series are mostly empty. The first floors are lightly decorated, but the second floors in this lot and in the lots to come are pretty sparse or completely empty. This was done on purpose to give you the freedom to customize the shops as you see fit. 

It’s Win-win for both of us!

These shops also make nice decorative lots if you just want to add some visual character to your small-town neighborhood, as I mentioned earlier. (If you do this though, be sure to remove all of the bathroom stalls as those seem to show through walls in neighborhood views).

Since it’s a little difficult to really see what you’re getting in this lot with the overview pictures I’ll share some shots of each individual shop. They are all built on one lot as my skills with the Lot Adjuster are completely absent.

I’ve included some titles for the buildings, but these are only suggestions. Change things up as you’d like. 

Tear out what I’ve put in and create something new. Slap a new coat of paint on the exterior, change the landscaping and you could reuse the same basic lot shapes over and over.

Clothing Boutique:

Cake Shop:

Electronics Store:

Remember, you can change these up and turn them into whatever you want.

Here are the floorplans:

1st Floor:

2nd Floor:

There’s even a basement with storage rooms on this lot, since that is a feature in some older buildings! Ideally, each shop would have stairs going to the basement, but given the limited space on the lot I’ve only put one set of stairs.

This stunning Spanish-style mansion built on a 4x3 lot is the perfect multi-generational home for your sims that crave that sea-side lifestyle.

Take in the sunshine from the balcony, or pool, and enjoy curling up with a good book in any of the luxurious living-spaces. It features 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, but the upstairs library could easily be combined with the sitting room downstairs and be turned into a 4th bedroom.

Isn’t this secluded balcony so pretty? It’s perfect for taking in seaside views, or relaxing after a busy day of work.

Here’s a view of the back of the home, surrounded by a privacy fence. You can also see hints of the flower gardens here. 

To the side of the house is a pool and outdoor dining area.

This home was built with the goal of enjoying the fresh air and beauty of nature as much as possible.

Here’s a close-up of the dining area. I can just imagine peaceful dinners out here at sunset. Sky-boxes and skylines really add to the ambience of the game. I use skies from iCad, and skylines from GreatCheeseCakePersona.

Are you ready to go inside? I’ve done some light decorating throughout, but kept it somewhat generic to allow you to customize it to your sim families tastes.

Here’s a top-down look at the floor-plan for the first and second floors. The arched “bell-tower” is directly above the Master Bathroom. It is not accessible, unless you want to do some remodeling.

First floor (clockwise from left): Family room, Sitting room, Music room, Formal Dining Room, Kitchen, Laundry Room, Bathroom, and Garage. 

Second floor (clockwise from left): Master Bedroom (option 2), Library/Study, Master Bathroom, Master Bedroom (option 1), Main Bathroom, Kid’s Bathroom, Kid’s Bedroom, and the Balcony patio.

I’ve put the download link at the bottom of this post, so if you don’t care to take a tour of the inside, please scroll to the bottom of this post. 😅

This home can easily work for a multi-generational family.

Master bedroom (option 2):

It opens out onto the balcony: You’ll have to pardon the lighting a bit here. I love my lighting mod, but there are a few lines near the roof... And then there’s the issue with one of the flower pots (but the wall-placement lighting is 100% EA’s problem).

Kids bedroom:

Library/Study:

My favorite part of this home is the warm lighting that makes everything glow and feel homey. ❤ I hope you enjoyed the tour!

Here are some higher-end office buildings or shops for the nicer part of your town. These buildings are on a 3x2 lot and are completely unfinished except for bathrooms and a small break-room.

This lot is CC-free, however, you will need to download the Maxis “lost and found” Monolith Decorative Topiaries if you want the front of the tallest building at the right to match the pictures. I don’t really consider the “lost and found” items to be CC since they were originally created by Maxis/EA, but you might, so grab that shrub here if you don’t already have it in your game.

This is also a smaller lot than the 3 previous lots I’ve shared. Hopefully this will make it run more smoothly on your computer.

As in all my previous posts in this series, here are some pictures of the fronts of the buildings. They are all built on one lot and are not separate.

Office 1:

Store:

Office 2: The topiaries closest to the front door are the ones you’ll need to download from MTS if you don’t already have the Maxis/EA “lost and found” items in your game.

Finally, here are the floorplans so you can see what space you have to work with.

I don’t usually build on 2x2 lots because it limits the shape of the exterior of a home, but the next several posts will be a series of lots I built between 2013-2015. 

This first one is a simple country-style home which is probably best suited to being placed way out in the suburbs, or at the end of a country lane. It’s a mash-up between Tudor and Country Farmhouse, which gives it a unique look.

And here’s what it looks like at the back of the home:

But don’t let it’s unassuming exterior demeanor fool you. This country home has plenty of high-end furnishings inside! This home is lightly furnished so you can change the décor to fit your needs.

First floor: This includes a family room, kitchen and dining, bathroom, office nook, and sitting room.

Second floor: Master bedroom with bathroom on-suite, kid’s bathroom, nursery, and 3rd bedroom.

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

This small brick home built on a 2x2 lot is a slightly fancier downtown dwelling for your more affluent Sims.

It has some decorative elements including white brick quoining on the corners and front gables which gives it a more European feel.

And a picture of the back of the house:

This lot is unfurnished except for the basics.

First floor: Kitchen, dining, half-bathroom, living room, and entryway.

Second floor: Bathroom, stairway (could be converted into an office nook), 2 bedrooms.

So many of you loved my little white farmhouse, that I thought you might also enjoy this larger white farmhouse built on a 4x4 lot! It features a bigger garden plot and an old abandoned orchard.

I built this home a few years back for one of my children’s sim families, and just recently finished updating and redecorating it. (You will need to add sprinklers to the garden since I forgot to!)

One of my favorite things about this house are all the porches and places to sit back and enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside. Flowers and gardens are my happy place, and maybe they’ll be soothing to your sims too.

Here’s the old swing set in the side-yard, with the orchard in the background.

Now let’s take a look at the floorplan. Right now this home is set up to have 3 bedrooms, but the sewing room/study could easily be remodeled into a 4th bedroom.

First Floor: Clockwise from left: kitchen, breakfast nook, bathroom, family room, living room, entry, formal dining room, and garage.

Second Floor: Clockwise from left: Sewing room/Study (optional bedroom), bathroom, kid’s bedroom 1, master suite with bathroom and office nook, hallway, and kid’s bedroom 2.

Basement: Workout area, cold storage/cellar (for all those fruits and veggies your garden will grow!), and laundry room.
