Removing All Furniture From Lot...

I haven't found anything discussing what I've been looking for, so I assume it isn't a thing for this game.

Basically, I was going around just flipping houses for the heck of it, and because it's better than those dumb house flipper apps.
I haven't really tried to do this in S4 yet, and I realized I didn't know how to remove all of the furniture in the house to flip it - and have been looking for a cheat (no mods, my laptop/antivirus doesn't agree with mods very well) to delete all of the furniture.
Of course, there isn't a way currently.

BUT I found a few ways to delete most of the things quickly - most of you already probably know, but those of you who are/were struggling, here's what I do.

Trick 1: Delete the floor, then build it
(furniture is gone, but anything on the walls stays) (will need to do this for each room)

Trick 2: Hold-click on an object in a corner, then drag the highlighted box to the far adjacent corner
(everything is gone, including doors, windows & stairs) (Can be done by floor)

Trick 3: Save the lot to your library, bulldoze the lot, then go back to your Gallery, click on the house you just saved, and place it to current lot - choose unfurnished
(all furniture is gone, but I believe doors, windows & stairs stay) (all at once, but is kind of a long process if your computer runs slow)

If anyone else has a new/better idea or way to delete the furniture, or a cheat I missed, please post~!!!

Thanks in advance for reading/posting/sharing

    Trick 3 works even if you don't bulldoze the lot. You can just save the lot to your library then click the popup that asks if you want to view it (I can't remember exactly what it says) then hit the download button and choose place unfurnished.

    I don't know exactly how much time this will save, but it cuts out a couple of steps (bulldozing the lot and opening your full library) so should save at least a little on less powerful computers.


    This is gonna save me hours over the next week! Thank you!


    That's what I do just save and download unfurnished again. Easy.

    I move a random Sim in and select unfurnished in the purchase option. Or if a townie is already in the house, move them out to a random lot and select keep furniture. Second method will clutter up their household inventory if you're intending to move them back in though. So I'll usually sell furniture and move my builder Sim in - useful to have a Sim on lot for changing light colours anyway.
  • Best way is to just move a random sim in and select unfurnished on the purchase screen. Then the house will still be there but the furniture wont.

    Well, if I had to do that, I'd save the lot to My Library, open My Library, and place the same lot. It will ask wether I want to put it down furnished or unfurnished. I choose the latter option. And now I have the lot unfurnished!
