@The_Ratticator Just curious but was that the only sim in the household when you moved to university? I'm guessing that it probably was.
One of the things about moving into a lot with the university housing venue lot type is that there is no family inventory while you are there. You don't have open access to build/buy either on that venue type. If you use the bb.enablefreebuild cheat, you can get to build/buy but there is no family inventory at all.
@CGrant56 Yes, they were the only Sim in the house. However, prior to the latest patch, I've sent Sims who were the only one in the house to university without issue. Their home furniture was never sold, because I didn't tick that box. It's also not just household inventory being sold. It's all of the furniture in the house. This is definitely a new problem that wasn't happening prior to the latest patch.

@The_Ratticator Ok, now that does sound strange. I had it happen to me too but it was day before the last patch and the furniture, etc. got sold but stayed in the house like it always had but I lost everything in the family inventory because that got sold too.
So am I getting this right? Since the patch, when you moved the last sim to university, the furniture also disappears from the lot they came from just like it would when you chose to have all of your belongings come with you when you move a sim from one residential lot to another???

@CGrant56 Yeah, that's right. Whenever I send a Sim to university, when they arrive, they get loads of Simoleons added to their funds. Sure enough, if I go to Manage Worlds and check their home, all of the furniture will be gone. I made absolutely sure that I did not tick the "sell furniture" box. It really is just like if you had chosen to sell your Sim's furniture when moving. I tested this on an unmodded save, and it still happened.

@The_Ratticator Ok, just thought of something. In a normal move or merging two families on separate lots, if you want the furniture, etc. to stay, you have to click the sell furniture button. If you click the other one, all the furniture, etc. ends up in your family inventory. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've ended up with empty lots and tons of stuff to sell out of a family inventory because I clicked the wrong one when I moved some sims.
So in the case of moving the last sim to university, I think you should be clicking the sell button so maybe not ticking it is the wrong thing to do as there is no family inventory. But I can't recall atm if there was even a button to do that when I moved my sim to university.
