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...

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!
I know this is kind of an old post but I have a solution that works on console or if you don't use mods. Save first.
1) Build a small room that can contain all your stuff. You can use there move objects cheat to cram everything into one tile. You can delete unused walls.
2) Save the room to your gallery. Take note of the cost to place and delete the room on the old lot. You obviously won't get the full cost back but some things like birth certificates (that are irreplaceable otherwise) are free to place and that might offset some of the cost of step 3.
3) Move out to the new lot taking enough money to purchase your room of stuff on top of whatever you need or fits your story. Then just place the room you saved on the new lot. All upgrades etc should stay and you can move whole gardens of evolved plants this way.
