Possible to move entire family with children into retail lot?

Thank you, @Cinebar! I can definitely work with that. As long as the family can stay on the retail lot (whenever they're not busy at school/work/etc), I'm fine with that arrangement.

I always turn off aging, so I'm not concerned about time passing by, aging, etc.

Quick question: So, the active careers sims go back to their real home, and I can just have them "travel" to the store once they get to their "real" residential homes? (I'm still figuring out how to "travel", lol.)
