1775 AD

War rages in the New World as the American Revolution goes into full swing, bringing the Howard family to Sophara to start a new life. Acquiring a piece of land next to Hemming’s Inn, the Howards build the first general store in the town. Howard General Store becomes the trading spot for visitors and locals alike, spurring future development along Desten Boulevard and Cross Avenue.

The success of Hemming’s Inn allows the family to acquire new property and cultivate a vegetable farm, bringing the total number of farms operated by the family to three. Although the Bricksons head the Desten Council, the Hemmings fortune begins to exceed that of the other founding family of Desten, creating animosity and tension between them. It comes to blows between two of the younger members of the family one afternoon on Desten Boulevard, prompting a tense but ultimately successful town meeting to settle things down. Still, the seed of suspicion and mistrust is planted between the two families, with some fathers even going as far as to forbid marriage to a member of the other family.

As good this is, you really should consider creating your own lots.  The cars and modern props somewhat ruin the 18th century feeling. :/

 

EDIT:  If you really want to know to lot, I suggest checking out the Omnibus for tutorials.  I believe there are a couple of articles on using the lot editor.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to create my own lots - and given that I'm either with my family or at work almost all day, I wouldn't have to time to anyway :( I'll look over the Omnibus for tutorials, though - maybe one day when I have some free time I'll give it a shot!

 

Thanks DUKE-OF-MAYHEM, that is actually the feel I was going for.
