How to leave furniture when you move?

I know this thread is from 3.5 years ago but if anyone stumbles upon this, it is if you sell the furniture it will come back, whether you create a new household or move an already existing one. It works with apartments in City Living as well.

So guess we just have to keep track of how much money we had and do some math and cheats for a way to say "we left it there"

When I move my sims I put anything they need in their household inventory then “sell furniture” when they move. That usually keeps the furniture with the original house. San Myshuno apartments is a bit more finicky; which in that case you can’t always moved into an apartment with the furnishings, the game empties the apartment. So whatever furniture you leave behind may not always be there for the next sim you move in.

Selling the furniture when moving leaves it with the house, as it means you are selling the furniture as part of the house. If you are experiencing otherwise, it might be from a mod or glitch and need to repair your game.

that's new, but I'm glad. always having to evict them stank before.
