Moving only one sim in a family

In my family the two eldest children are now young adults and they'll soon need to live alone. My family is 6 people so obviously I couldn't move the whole family with the young adult. Is there any way to choose just one person to move to another place?

    Hi @martina2354,

    You probably posted here for a reason, but as you are talking about young adults... just to make sure, are we talking about The Sims FreePlay?

    Different The Sims games, different games to choose from! :D

    Hi @martina2354,

    Moved to The Sims 4 board then 🙂

    You could split your household in two different households - one with one Sim alone, and the other with the rest of the family. Then, you can place the Sim you want to move out in another lot.

    There's a great guide on how to manage households here: https://www.thesims.com/news/splitting-and-merging

    Let us know if that helps, or you have any questions! 🙂

    Hi...I've done this and now the parents disappear from the family tree unless that sim has a sibling that still stays with the parent. Is there a fix for this? Is there anyone else having this issue??

    Hi @RosieSongbird,

    Welcome to the forums!

    I would like to make sure I understand the situation correctly: you had a Sim and their two parents living in a house, with no other Sims, right? Then you splitted the family using Manage households and placed the Sim in a new house. When you loaded the house to play with them, their parents didn't appear in their family tree. Is this correct?

    Could you tell us the age of each of the three Sims? Also, did you create the three Sims using CAS or the child was born in-game?

    Thank you!

    Originally there were 3 sims...created in CAS. The parents (young adults) and a teen. The parents had 2 more children...in game. When I moved out the oldest child they were a young adult. The eldest child lost the parents in the family tree. The siblings were still there so that’s the only way I’m able to see a connection to them (to parents). It’s happened with all sims I’ve moved out using the manage household tool.

    You go to manage household and click on the household you want to split up and go to transfer sims between households click the household you want the others to live in and then click the sims you want to move into then press the button pointing to the other household

    Hello I'm playing the sims 4 I have a family that have 8 per house. I'm trying to move out the young adults. I've tried to use the manage households tool but it's not allowing me to move them.
