1000 Follower Gift Part 2: Penrose Manor CC Free Version

Thank you for 1000 followers! For the the second part of this gift here is a CC free version of the house I shared in part one. So if you would like a CC version then check out part one!

This is a large house with lots of landscaping so still might be more intensive on your game. It's quite interesting to build without CC after such a long time but I'm happy with the result! I hope you will enjoy it too.

To install use Sims2Pack Clean Installer, you can check out what defaults and fixes I use below if you would like it to look like the screenshots. But of course it's optional! Please let me know if there are any issues!

Cost: £119,000~

Size: 3x4

Download

Defaults:

Clear Glass Windows & Doors Default

Lush Terrain Default

3t2 Terrain Paint Default

Hedge Default - I use jodeliejodelie & Plant Fixes version

Plant Fixes Default

Ivy Replacements + Shine Fix

Upwardly Mobile Staircase Fixes

No Bump Maps On Certain Floors

No Sheen On Iron Garden Fence

No Sheen On Iron Stairs

Additional:

Higher Quality Tree Lot Imposters - Not required, it will be more intensive for your game! It just changes how the trees look from neighbourhood view.

The defaults are very much not required, but these are what I use in case you want it to look like the screenshots. I would recommend a version of the hedge default as it reduces the texture size of maxis hedges which can improve lag.

Reblog if you are a simblr of either the Sims 2 or the Sims 3 (or both).

I wanna support more simblr accounts despite have being retired from Sims role playing myself, especially since they're overshadowed by the Sims 4 nowadays. I have nothing against those who enjoy the Sims 4, but as a long time simmer I still wish to support other fellow simmers who are active in the same simblr as the one I grew up with. 🫶🏻

And yes, you're free to reblog this even if you're retired but still love the Sims!

Dreamer's Weekend - birthday parties

The talk with Jerzy helped, he improved his grades a little bit and another important issue came this weekend - birthday parties of Dirk and Melody.

On Saturday morning they had a talk about recent inheritance and form of the party.

"... and Gaja is taking a house. I don't mind because we have one already and she was growing up there."

"Oh yeah, she will need that. They really need some space for them and baby. But I wanted to ask about your birthday today. Do you want a party or just a small gathering?"

"Hmmm... I think you can invite everyone, your dad and siblings too. That would be nice to see whole family."

Melody invited her father, Simona and Stanisław, Eulalia with Malcolm and Gaja for birthday party. Meanwhile Dirk and Jerzy could talk alone.

"Thanks dad for helping me with homework. I didn't have a chance to tell you that. It was a lot recently..."

"No worries. I'm glad I could help. We were worried about you and I think that's why mom lectured you. You have a bright future in front of you."

"Thanks... I really appreciate that."

As soon as the first guest crossed the threshold, the party started. Dirk made a wish and blowed the candles.

He was delighted to see his family gather again after an unfortunate passing of his father and his wife, Cassandra. Looking back at his troubled past, he finally felt reassured embracing his family like he had never before.

Now he can emerge as a head of a family, understanding his role as a quirky but wise old man (great sense of style!)

The next day much more quiant party had been thrown at Dreamer's house. Melody only wanted her father and siblings to be present that day.

Melody reached an important milestone. She acted as though her age doesn't bother her but deep inside she longed for her younger days when she had more strenght (but she still has great styling choices).

Sunday was slowly coming to an end...

Picaso's Art Of Love - Baby Fever

Paulina Picaso woke up today with a want to have a baby. She's an adult woman but there was a problem... She was single. She left two men already and now they have their families. She quickly thought about all men she knew and turned out that she and Miłosz Ottomas had something in common. She didn't hestitate and called him to see each other.

"I didn't know you're into games!" - Miłosz was so excited. He felt like he finally found someone who is a big fan of SSX.

"Yeah..." - she said quietly because she was lying. She just wanted to trap someone into her game. The baby fever was high enough.

"Listen, do you want to go with me to jacuzzi? We will have a private talk..." - she asked in a flirty way. Her parents were nearby and she felt a little bit embarassed.

"Yeah, sure!" - Miłosz was still full of excitement. Probably because someone finally acknowledged him. He tried his best with Gaja Dreamer and Jaśmina Delarosa but they dumped him and married "Chads" from Terrano and Goth families.

Paulina was fast in her plan. After few topics, she started to coax and quickly Miłosz was in her arms.

"Do you like it?" - she asked.

"I've never felt better." - he answered. Even if the baby plan won't succeed, she still felt like she's having a good time.

She kissed him and she was happy that the plan is working. Paulina was like a spider, trapping innocent man in her web. He was lost and she knew that there is only one thing to check off.

"Do you want to have REAL fun now?"- she whispered.

"You won't believe." - he answered.

One day Ottomas descendants will run Pleasantview

Gertruda Gavigan finally had her birthday.

The Ottomas genes are so strong, I can't.

And it turned out that Mirosława is pregnant again.

She really wanted to have a second baby with Kamil. It was so easy to achieve.

She gave birth to twins, Lech & Jarosław, which was a big surprise because no one expected two boys. Unfortunately I don't have the photos of them but trust me, they look like babies.

Not long after the birth of the boys, I see that again.

OMG!

You can't even wait one day, can you?

Anyway, Ottomas genes are strong and trying to run in almost every family now. I think one day Goths and Landgraabs will lose the power in the city.

P.S. It's a boy! Welcome Kazimierz!

I think Samatha would be proud of her kids, creating 12 grandchildren! Mirosława leads the ranking, for sure.

Otis really want to play with Malcolm Landgraab VI. Why does he have to sleep?!

I had to save this moment 🥰

Gaja & Apollo's wedding

Finally this day happened. Gaja Dreamer, after breaking up with Dante Lotario, can marry love of her life, Apollo Terrano. What a beautiful ceremony 😍

Everyone was here...

...even Nina Lotario who came to insult bride (I don't have photos of that unfortunately).

They also started family really fast!

For context: Gaja is a daughter of Cassandra and Darren Dreamer. Dante is a son of Don and Nina. Apollo is son of Stella and Phineaus Terrano (formerly Furley).

The Old Country Church | CC-Free Sims 2 Community Lot Download

The old, 1800's style country church has weathered the test of time and, despite it's age, is still is as solid as the messages that have been shared from the pulpit. It's built on a 5x5 community lot.

It's over-all simplicity stands in stark contrast to more ornate architecture, but it is this humble structure, reminiscent of a purer time of faith, that stands as a testament to scriptural truths.

Let's take a tour of the place!

Joy. Laughter. Tears. Weddings, funerals, picnics on the lawn, and baptisms in the lake--all the memories that have meant so much--have happened here in this peaceful country setting. It's a place for friends to gather, caring words to be spoken, and a base for larger community outreach.

This landmark is surrounded by trees, and old nature trails that meander through the woods. It's the perfect place to hear the birds sing, sit by the water reading the Good Book, and to remember where the true meaning of life comes from.

Right now the old church is dressed up for a wedding, but you can remove the arch and flower decorations for a more authentic feel.

This lot is CC-free which is why the podium is one of the career reward objects. You can find a buyable version without the cringy teleprompter screens in this set over on Mod the Sims because being a minster should never be about the money or charismatic personalities.

Congregational singing with instruments was just starting to become popular in the 1800's. Many old churches did not have a piano or organ, but I've added the piano and violin to this lot to give some more interest to the front platform.

The balcony is a lovely place to sit and listen to the beautiful acoustics, and appreciate the rustic beams that make up the upper part of the roof.

The bell tower is empty since there is not anything comparable in the game. You can find a very simple bell at the end of this thread on Mod the Sims if you'd like to put one in.

I built this lot based on historical pictures of churches from the 1800's. This version is a bit larger than most of that era. A lot of the churches at the time did not have anything more than a main sanctuary area, but I've included bathrooms for convenience's sake.

1st Floor: On this level there are bathrooms, and the main sanctuary.

2nd Floor: There's a balcony near the bottom of the image, the rest of the level is open to the sanctuary below.

The Old Country Church MF | SFS

This lot is CC-Free, but All EPs and SPs are required.

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! 😄

Default Replacements Shown: Purple Lupin shrub from @peppermint-ginger If you don’t have these in your game your Lupin will be blue.

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