This is from the lovely online archive of Sears Modern Homes floor plans. The Sears Modern Homes were basically mail-order houses; you would receive the materials and plans and build the house yourself. The archive stretches from 1908 to 1940 so it can be pretty interesting to look through them and see the changing styles over the years.

Anyway, in my opinion Sears did a pretty good job of representing a wide variety of styles that are still functional as homes. I like my sims to live in realistic houses (for the most part!) so I decided to start a little series. At least, the idea is that it will be a series... I tend to have a short attention span, so we'll see how it goes. I know a lot of other people have used the Sears floor plans and models, but that's okay! I figure there are plenty of them to go around, and everyone does their own take on them anyway.

So, I present to you the first in my series of Sears Modern Homes - The Brentwood!


View from the back and the original images from the Sears catalog.


This house is very sparsely furnished... just a few items here and there to get you started. If you are worried that your sim's family will overflow two bedrooms in no time, never fear! There's a full attic and basement, so plenty of room to expand if need be. There is also room in the yard for a driveway or greenhouse or whatever.

Thank you very much to Marvine for the attic ladder and to Sophie-David for the taller columns. When I saw this house, I knew I would need those columns to make it, and they look great!

Please don't upload to pay sites or the exchange!

If you have requests from the Sears Modern Homes archive that you'd like me to do, please comment and let me know! I might not be able to do every house identical to it's picture, but I am willing to give it a try if you see one you like in particular. If you don't have a request but just like the lot, let me know too, I love comments! ^_^
