Do Your Children Move Back in to the Family Home After Graduating University?

A question i've always wondered, do your children move back in to the family home once they've graduated university or do you give them a few Simoleans and let them live their life on their own? Most of my sim self's children have always gone their own way after graduating university and ended up finding or building their own place to live once they've found work. There have been one of two of my sim self's children who did come back home because they weren't ready to be on their own or didn't know what they wanted out of life yet.

My sim self's daughter Beatrix left the family home in 1984 when she became an Young Adult and went travelling. She returned in 1986 when she ran out of travel money and lived with her father (my sim self) To raise more money to continue her travels, she started making and selling her own jewellery at a local market where she made some kind of pocket money. While trying to raise travel money she was scouted by cable Jewellery Shopping Channel and they sold some of her Jewellery on there which made her rich enough to go travelling again.

She returned to the nest once more in 1988 when she decided she was ready to go to university. She graduated university in 1988 and as of 2002 in my current save she is top of the military career living in her own apartment.

No matter how old my sim self's kids are, his door is always open to them for what ever reason they need to come home again.
