Trying to split a household

I had 2 out of my 4 sims get married. I tried to move the 2 married sims next door, and I created a new save file in the same world when I did it. So the other 2 sims stayed in the original house and the 2 married could start their married life together separately next door. But now when I load the original house with the other 2 sims, it takes me back to before the 2 married sims moved out and the house next door is vacant, plus all the renevating I did is gone. I’m thinking where I messed up is creating a new save file for the married sims. Should I have saved it on the original save file so they were on the same timeline?

    @8Butterbeanzz8  Yes, when you created the new save file, you also preserved the old save file as it was at the time, and it hasn't changed since.  If you want to play forward from the new timeline, you can switch to playing the other couple in your current save instead.  But you might want to use "save as" again, to create a backup copy of the save you have now, in case you don't like what happens to the second family while you're back playing the first again.
