Note that I noticed this due to the bug where you can't create a new household at the manage worlds level, so I went into a household in live mode to use the split from household option there.

When I first tested, I used the Split from Household and Move option on the phone, but the same thing happens if you use that option on the computer:

This shows the message you get if you try to bring more than one sim:

So you can only create a new household of one when using the split from household and move from live mode. The work around if you want to create a new household with more than one sim is to create the new household of one sim from live mode and then go to manage worlds to add the other sim(s) to the new household*. 

*Here is a step by step guide on how to do that if needed.

First, create the new household from live mode as noted above. This will then create the new household and you can either move them into a new lot or cancel their moving and it will just create a household that is not in the world. If you do the latter, it will put you in manage worlds. If you chose a lot for the sim you will move with that sim to the new lot. 

If you choose to move with the new sim to a new lot vs cancelling the lot selection, you will then have to go to manage worlds (use F5 or select the option on the top right hand corner as shown here).

At the manage worlds level, select manage households, either in the top left hand corner, as shown here:

That will bring up this view:

Then select one of the two households (in this case I choose the household I want to move my extra sim out of) and choose the option to Transfer Sims between households:

Then choose the other household you want to transfer the sims into (in this case the newly created household) and proceed to transfer the sims:

Households after I've transferred the sims: 

Note I've updated the game on my laptop (which has never had mods/cc in it), however I have not yet updated the game on my desktop. When I tested the ability to split from household and move on my desktop, which is version PC 1.109.207. DX11, mods folder removed and localthumbcache deleted, I was able to move multiple sims using the split from household and move option on the phone, which is how I know this is a new issue since the Oct 22/24 game update.
