Problems with keeping Business when moving out/marrying

Okay, I did find a workaround.
I had the daughter go to the shop, sell it (now having much too much money), and the mom buy it again. This is so stupid. But at least everything is as it should be now.

Before you do anything else be sure and upload it to your library furnished. So if anything goes wrong you have it to place again. But, I figure you will lose all the perks the mother has earned.

Ugh, yeah, I hadn't thought about the perks. Good thing I'm not opposed to cheating. I did work for them, but this time I'm just going to cheat them back ;-) And yeah, next time I will do what you suggested.

@Rhiannon1307 Sorry to hear that you lost your business but it looks like you found a work around. Losing retail shops, restaurants, vet clinics etc all due to moving has been an issue in this game for a long time & such a bummer.

Through trial and error I learned that if I evict my family and move them to a new house they'll definitely lose the business. Or if I move them via manage households to someone's house, I'll lose the business. The only thing that I have found that works is always moving the family via the phone, 'Move Households'. This always keeps the business's you own intact and you dont' lose progress. Sometimes I've had to get tricky especially if it was another Sim I want to move my Sim's household in with and have that Sim move into my household first (either via 'Ask to Move In' or moving in from Manage Households) & then move everyone out via the Move Households on the phone. But in my experience it's always moving by the phone that has worked for me.

@Sha2520032003 What a bother, lol. And even then, I would have had to manage the funds of the daughter to enable her to buy her childhood home back. Ugh.

@Rhiannon1307 - That's when I use the freerealestate cheat to move the daughter back into the childhood home. But yes I feel you....it's such a hassle. But I've found it pretty useful as I hate losing progress on any of my Sims stores or restaurants.
