Splitting up household in sims 4?!

I decided to finally write my own "post" because i still can not find a way to move out one sim from a household. My current household has 4 sims, two elders, one young adult and one teen. What i would like to do is move out the young adult and play with just her as a household (without deleting the other member entirely)

I see lots of people saying to go to the manage household option, and that they were just able to do it from there. Ive looked and tried dozens of times and i see no option to just split them up. I see the "transfer to another household" option but all i would like to do is to move her out on her own..

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! 😕mileyhappy:

  • ok this may sound compilated but it's not really

    1 if your in a game already then open the three dots-option manage worlds then select your household go to the three dots there manage household

    2 select your household in the window that pops open another window pops open

    3 select the arrows icon  click on that another window pops open to select  sim to split and merge you'll need to select a houshold in the right panel to move your sim to ( if you don't see  a houshold in the right panel click on the tiny down arrow to open the household to select )

    4 select the sim you want to move in the left panel then click on the arrow to move him/her to the right panel tick accept and that sim is moved

    5 Then  select the house you moved your sim to and evict the other sims out but this time select  the not in world select the other sims to that panel

    then close on the x or hit escape button which will be map view and selct your sim you want to play will be in their own home to play with

    thats the way i figured it  there may be another way i don't know of yet

  • There is also

    motherlode = 50,000

    katching = 1,000

    freerealestate on = for buying any house while placing household.

    I have found that "moveobjects on" doesn't really work in sims 4. You cant place the object anywhere like in previous games which was really annoying.

  • They made this to difficult to do I think. 

    The way you could move 1 sim out of a household like in the sims 3 was way easier.

    They realy shoud go back to that! 

  • Thank you for that

    You can change the household name in the Manage Worlds screen. Just choose the family and change the name. Happy Simming!

  • Go to your sims phone hit travel and the option to split from household should appear select the sim you want to move out click on the house you want to move in

    Hey @shannikki29, as this thread is over 6 years old I am going to go ahead and lock it.

    Thanks for posting your fix for the issue.
