Sears Homes is my series of homes that were designed by Sears, Roebuck and Co. From 1908 to 1940, Sears, Roebuck and Co. issued catalogues with house designs in them. Customers would choose a home and mail their request to the company. The company would then send all the supplies ordered (pre-cut lumber, lighting, doors, etc.) and the customer would build their own home! Now as I've said before I love more simple, classic homes and these are exactly that so you can imagine my excitement upon finding these lots. I was so excited in fact, I ordered three books filled with these homes so be prepared for a lot of homes in this series!

This lot is entitled The Fairfield, first published in 1939. The following is an excerpt from a catalogue describing the lot:

The colonial exterior is very attractive and appropriate for a five-room house like this. Ideal for a summer home because it's designed to catch every breath of breeze. Look at the triple windows on opposite sides of the large living room... they're your assurance of an airy, cool house.



Oakridge Drive™ is my series of houseplans which I stumble upon online. Like larsson1970 (whose downloads you should see) I believe my Sims should live real so I use real houseplans.

This house has:
- 1 bedroom and 1 bath

- partially furnished (all plumbing, lighting, some electronics, and counters)

- style: colonial

All kinds of comments are welcome.

The original houseplan is found here: http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/1933-1940.htm

Since Sims need a bathroom in my opinion, the floorplans were slightly edited by me by changing one bedroom into a bathroom and extending the second bedroom so it actually fits a double bed. Hope you enjoy these changes, if not, it's pretty easy to switch them back.
