Sears Homes - The Bellewood (by request)

I did not build this lot in AnyGameStarter so unless you had all the expansion packs installed, it will crash your game, I'm so sorry for this mishap.

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 lovely little home was requested by Loriendriel Loving who had found the Sears plans online and had fallen in love with this small home so I was only happy to help by building it for her.

This lot is entitled The Bellewood, first published in 1931. The following is an excerpt from a catalogue describing the lot:

The Bellewood is another happy combination of a well laid out floor plan with a modern attractive exterior. This design is an adaptation of a small English cottage. Exterior walls are planned to be covered with gray prestained clear red cedar shingles. The graceful manner in which the front gabled roof curves over the vestibule gives this home an unusually inviting entrance. Careful grouping of the windows and batten-type shutters also add to the exterior.



This house has:
- 2 bedrooms and 1 bath

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


All kinds of comments are welcome.

Install Instructions

Basic Download and Install Instructions:

1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.

2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.

3. Install: Double-click on the .sims2pack file to install its contents to your game. The files will automatically be installed to the proper location(s).

• You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
