In the months that followed, the Harrington household witnessed an unprecedented flurry of activity. The once-quiet farm was now a hive of industry, with workers toiling tirelessly. Most of these laborers were brought in through the Coombes family's connections, a fact that weighed heavily on Eddy's mind. While he contributed what he could, it became increasingly apparent that the scope of the project exceeded what he initially expected.
From dawn until dusk, workers hammered, sawed, and excavated, transforming Eddy's land. Barns were hoisted, relocated, and reconfigured.
A grand wooden arch was erected at the farm's entrance, rustic and imposing, crowned by the massive horns of a longhorn bull. Yet, even this striking arch seemed insignificant compared to the towering edifice that was taking shape on his property.
Eddy's beloved garden found a new home to the left of the house, near the well, while the outhouse was shifted to the right. Piece by piece, the familiar landmarks of his farm were shuffled aside to make room for the looming mansion.
The newly constructed farmhouse, coated in a vibrant shade of red, featured white-painted woodwork adorned with ornate arches.
Daniel and all his contractors insisted it was indeed a Farmhouse but Eddy has grown skeptical.
By mid-autumn, the towering mansion stood as a testament to the whirlwind of change that had swept over the land. In just a few short months, nearly everything had been altered.
This new house was a colossus compared to the one Eddy had lovingly crafted with his own hands and everything he had built has been moved and pushed aside.
The reality of what exactly the term "little" meant in the context of his dealings with Daniel was dawning on him, Eddy knew Daniel loved Josephine despite the mistakes she had made and knew she was bound to get doted on with the new marriage. But this? This was beyond excessive.

Sears Home no. 115
A humble starter home based on the 1908 catalog home from Sears.
Sears Modern Home no. 115
This modest Edwardian era-Gilded Age starter home is based in plans, price, and appearance on one of the earliest Sears kit homes, the 1908 #115. Sold from 1908-1942, Sears Modern Homes were ordered through mail-order catalogs to be shipped by rail to buyers, who would assemble them by hand. Like Ikea, but for affordable housing. These houses were marketed to the growing American middle class and helped to popularize the latest technologies in home building, such as balloon frame construction, plumbing, electricity, and heating.
This lot includes:
4 bedrooms
2 baths (none in the original plans which is why they aren't labeled on my poster)
Parlor, Kitchen, and Pantry, as well as two covered porches
Unfurnished and Unfinished to fit price
20 x 15 lot size
$21,914 simoleons - or around 725$ adjusted for inflation when I built it in 2021. The dollar simoleon has depreciated more since then so it's not priced as historically accurate anymore :( Better value for your sims though!
Packs Used- packs in bold are essential:
Cottage Living, University, Cats & Dogs, Get Together, Vampires, Jungle Adventure.
This build was mostly made with base game materials, all packs used were for decoration only. No CC used.

man...after reading danny's post i still can't stop thinking about his observation that ennis must feel disappointed in his (in)ability to fit into the role of being the head of his family bc like...he really, truly isn't.
he can't take care of his family right because he was built for work in a dying industry with little revenue to spare, and what work he can find he just ups and quits because he needs to answer the siren call that is a postcard. he can't please his wife and they grow so distant and bitter towards each other that she just divorces his ass and marries a local business owner, who then becomes the major provider for his own god damn children. he's just a weekend daddy.
can you imagine how pathetic he must've felt as a hand to mouth saddlebum sitting as a guest in the solidly lower middle class 70s home that his ex wife and her new husband own, watching that man cut the turkey for his own family like he's the one who runs the show because he actually is? it's gotta be just like. a straight punch to the gut for someone like ennis, whose pride and fears of emasculation are as great as a mountain.
