Hi everyone! I hope I am doing this correctly (lol). I recently got back into Simming, actually partially because I discovered someone who had done a Sims version of a Sear's Kit Home from the 1920s. I am passionate about all 1910s-1940s architecture, and love kit homes. I have decided to try my hand at creating a few. Starting with something very simple. Please be kind, I am pretty new to creating lots
I have been studying kit homes over 10 years. You mail ordered a complete house and it was delivered by rail car for you (or your contractor to assemble. Sears and Montgomery Ward as well as a few other companies (Gordon Van Tine, Aladdin, etc) offered these homes up until about the early 1940s. I tried to match the actual floorplan as best I could.

Here is another Sears Kit Home: The Marquette.
The Marquette - Sears Kit Home
3 beds, space for 5 to sleep
2 bathrooms
$97,300
It features a very spacious Dutch Colonial home based on the Sears Kit/Catalog Home of the same name. A few changes had to be made to make it work in Sims 4. There is a matching Dutch Colonial garage with a full mother-in-law suite or apartment over the garage. #nocc in this lot.

The houses are great! I think you followed the floor plans really well! And I love how you used the turquoise colors, so 40's! lol
I can't believe The Selby was $649!!! Or am I reading something wrong there? My eyes aren't great
The Marquette is just gorgeous! Holy cow, love it! I think you got the roof very well. That seems like a mansion compared to the size of the Selby
It's all very well done, the interior decorating looks as great as it could possibly be in order to match that time period, and all of your pictures are really nice. They show off the houses very well

Thank you! I actually tweaked the roofline on the Marquette and it looks even better now. That is the actual price! Of course it was the 1920s, so there’s inflation. It also cost more for a foundation and if you had someone build it for you.
