As mentioned Maggie-May and James had to move out do to Maggie-May and her mother having different views.

Maggie-May was more than happy to oblige.
At first, things were great after she moved out her and James's mom even got along or so it seemed.

However, when James's mother made one passive-aggressive comment too many James called his mother out on it. She gave the same arguments Maggie-May's mother had.
"Maggie-May is too rebellious," Mrs. Nolan argued. "If it wasn't for the kiss at the dance I would have found someone much better for you."

As for the house itself, it was a little ramshackle and run down, but through their combined efforts he and Maggie-May made it home.

It was a simple story about a young woman finding her way in the world even though the odds were against her. The book was practically an overnight success. Maggie-May's sister, Emma even asked when her next book would be out and personally requested a similar novel. The future looked bright, so they decided to start their family to celebrate. A few months later Maggie-May was pregnant and James couldn't be more excited.

The house and such is always a work in progress, not to mention a little limited by what I have in Sims 3, but I will try my best to make everything as period-appropriate as possible.
