If I played the game realistically, my Sims kids would move out and find a place of their own. I would probably have the parents help get them started, and they would visit, but they would be on their own.
However, I don't play the game realistically. My plan for my Sims kids would be that the heirs of each family would move back into their childhood home with their parents, and start a family. That way the house will stay with the family, and keep the family generational. Plus, they would have the most kids. As for the kids that aren't heirs, they would get some money to move out, and are free to do what they want. If they have kids, I will limit them to only one, so that the Sim population doesn't cull the family. So, overall, heirs return home and live with the parents, but their siblings that aren't heirs move out and do what they want.
@Umbreon12 I did a similar thing with my sim self's late son Andrew. He built his own house after graduating university in 1982 and in 1990 he died from laughter. In his will it was his wish that the house get passed down through his children: his alien daughter Daisy and his human sons Brian and Clyde. After Andrew was sent to the Netherworld, Daisy inherited the house where she has raised three of her own children and her stepson. They are now moving to Sulani to live with her husband's elderly father. Brian is next in line to inherit his father's house and he will be moving in once he graduates university. I won't be moving Daisy and family out until Brian has entered so Daisy's family gets a fresh household inventory.
