ever since the last update of sims 4, in may 2021, where I got like/dislike added to the game, i cannot make a sim move out from a house.
i have a family of 3 generations where it has never been a problem before. its just now, after i have JUST updated the sims 4 game. I can create a new household and with the new one, i can split the household - but i still cannot split the household that im playing and have put SO MANY hours into.... i havent had sims 4 for more than a year, but i get way more bug and problems out of this game, than i do of enjoy.
why is it, that i cannot split the household, that i have played for so many hours??? so annoying,
Hi everyone,
I've been playing The Sims 4 for a while now, but since I downloaded the "Cottage Life"-pack I've been having some issues.
When I click on the phone en choose the "Separate Sim from family and move out" button (I don't know if it's the same in English because I play the game in another language) nothing happens... My Sim can't move out of the house. Has anyone ever had the same problem or does anyone know how to fix this?
I've already tried removing the Mods-folder but even if removed, I still have the same issue.
Thanks in advance!

@amberspitaels Did you try the manage household's option. You will be able to find it in the upper right-hand corner when you go to manage worlds.
There you will see the option to mix and merge Sims from households. When you just want to take one Sim out click on the option create new household.
Use the arrows in the middle and select the Sim you want to leave and start on its own. Then choose any amount and move both to the right.
After that you will have to find a place to live, move the to a lot, or just leave them 'out of the world'. Hope that will help.
Have fun playing. 😏
btw. there is also a Dutch forumpage. 🤗
I only recently have had the same issue. It happened yesterday and now none of them can split households and move. Per another suggestion, I have deleted localthumbcache file and they are still unable to move out and split from the existing household.
Same issue. This started happening for me after the first Life and Death patch. Sim uses phone to split from household, is only allowed to join an existing household and unable to create a new one.
