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 rewards).

- @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.
- @xochiquetzl_xkvn Thanks for mentioning this! I had used this before but I think I started having problems with it because it wasn't updated, so I had removed it. I googled it just now and saw that Basemental had updated the mod. I'm so happy!
This is kind of involved but it will work.
- Move out the sim/s that you DO NOT want to move out.
- Cancel moving once in the map screen so they remain "not in world."
- Move out the sim/s that you DO want to move out.
- Set them up on the new lot.
- Play a neighbor from the original neighborhood.
- As that neighbor, click the original lot and choose "move in family from library."
- Select any family in your library and move them in for free.
- Go to manage worlds and choose to play the newly placed family.
- After loading in that family, immediately return to the manage world's screen.
- Select manage housholds.
- Select the original household.
- Click "Move Household into a lot."
- Choose the original lot and confirm.
- You'll be asked if you'd like to move in with the new family. Click "Move In."
- Confirm that you want to move in again.
- Then, actually move in. (Oi, that's a lot of move in)
- Play the newly merged family.
- Go to the travel menu on your phone.
- Choose split from household again.
- Choose the sim/s from your library.
- Confirm.
- And finally, the original family is back home!
- Goto manage households.from the world management screen.
- Click the heart on any of the families that you DO NOT want to play.
- Collapse from exhaustion because moving day is always exhausting!
*NOTE* Any items in the house inventory that you do not wish to move with the exiting sim should be temporarily placed on the lot so that ONLY the desired objects are taken.
*SECOND NOTE* Any businesses that are owned by the family will go with the newly split sim/s. I don't know how to solve that.
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.
Dealing with this on console also. Smh. Daughter has a nice room and is a successful fashion influencer, she got married and moved out with her new hubby to a spot but can’t take any of her earned stuff (or the heirlooms I left her from her parents). Ridiculous.
