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.
So, I present to you the second in my series of Sears Modern Homes - The Maytown!
The entire lot from above, plus the original picture and floor plan from the Sears catalog.
Much thanks to corvidophile2 and Numenor for the CC on this lot - actually, all the CC is stuff that Maxis either forgot to include or didn't take far enough... so, thanks for sharing guys!
Please don't upload to pay sites or the exchange, or claim as your own!
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!
Other Lots in this Series:
-The Magnolia
-The Brentwood
-The Lexington
Lot Size: 2x4
Lot Price: $43,503
Custom Content Included:
- Bigger Oleander by corvidophile2
- Bigger Oleander Recolour by corvidophile2

Additional Credits:
Sears for making this archive available online and for.. well.. making them in the first place!
