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 had no name, simply plan No. 204, first published in 1913! The following is an excerpt from a catalogue describing the lot:
There is an individuality about this house that will please the man who is looking for something really different from the general run of buildings in any vicinity. Two unique features are apparent on the first glance at the illustration, namely, the wing for the dining room affording light from three sides and the screened sleeping porch on the second floor.
This house has:
- 3 bedrooms and 2 baths
- partially furnished (all plumbing, lighting, some electronics, and counters)
All kinds of comments are welcome.
The original houseplan is found here: http://architecture.about.com/libra...wplan-s-204.htm
Please note my rendition is slightly different because I added in a second bath on the main floor because one just isn't enough I find. If you want to stay true to the plans, it's easily enough cut out.
Lot Size: 3x3
Lot Price: 50,318

- 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.
