Got new update but not story mode

Looking at the patch notes in relation to moving Sims into Granite Falls, when I once did that with a family and went and played another household after a while, I noticed a Sim had decided to holiday in that home and when they left the homeowners were suddenly left homeless as all the furnishings (doors, windows, furniture etc.) were all gone, as if the vacationer took them all with her.

If a family has purchased and moved into a rental in Granite Falls, isn't there a way to stop other Sims from taking a vacation there?
