Split household: Taking items with them
Can we split a household and let the sim take items with them (i.e. their career reward items, their beds or items they upgraded). They shouldn't have to buy them all over again (specially the career...

Isn't that just like normal storage ?
You can transfer stuff from your sims inventory to the crate, not from the household inventory, which is the whole point. Things in your sims inventory you can already take with you. What we need is a way to take things from the household inventory. Like my teen's highschool diploma, she should be able to keep it, not have it locked away at her parents place.
@Naemi_Han No, this particular mod allows you to put furniture/furnishings like beds and couches into the crate. And then the crate into your Sim's inventory.
I see, so only things you can buy again. Not things like the highschool diploma (which doesn't have the option "pack into crate" that furniture now has). I guess it's usefull to save time, but it doesn't solve my issue.
BTW for those trying this mod : you have to place the crate, then click "enable packing" on the crate, then you can click on furniture and "pack into crate". Or else it won't work.
- @Naemi_Han Good to know - I don't have HSY and hadn't tried a diploma. I mainly used it for things like their bed, maybe party or career reward items that the household had spares of, inheriting the bassinet for when they start their own family, etc.
Yeah. I use the heck out of the crates for career rewards. My Sims tend to graduate University, move back in with their parents because they can't afford an apartment until they get a job, and then they get a job with their shiny new degree and get a bunch of career rewards that end up in Mom and Dad's household inventory. I mean. I could move them onto an empty lot and have them get a job, I could have Mom and Dad give them money for a house or apartment, but... you know.
I use both Scumbumbo's Packing Crates and SimRealist's SNB Bank so they can save up for an apartment.
Without the mod, they have the right to buy the item again. Hmf. Then I have to remember what it's called (artist's taboret is one I always forget). Yes, there's an unocked toggle on buildbuy, but I always forget it's there and flail around. Also, it just doesn't feel the same.
What about the Hero of Strangerville and their Motherplant Tendril? That's not a buyable item, and they can't take it with them without the crates!
- @Naemi_Han I realize this an old post, but I wonder if the parent couldn’t gift the diploma to their child. Then they should have it in their inventory.
- @CheyenneBaum I think the diploma is like furniture so you can't put it in a sim inventory, only in the household inventory. So the only way is to add the child-sim back to their parents household and then make the parents leave the household.
