Hey Simmers,

I'm not sure what to call this bug but if you've found other threads discussing the same thing please link them or let me know.

I have a one Sim household who went to University. She had several collections going and much going on in her house. I'm uncomfortable that it makes her "sell" her home to live in a dorm or anywhere on campus for one week, but did it from excitement.

SIMS TEAM please make this process more clear:
I didn't select Sell Furniture because I was afraid all of my collectibles would be gone with it. When I went to move my Sim back into her home, it showed that I can not put her back there and select Furnished. I moved her into another lot to discover; every single item from the home is safely in her household inventory.

However; This is truly awful as now once I move her back to the original lot that I built and decorated by hand, I have to put back every single piece of furniture and collectible. This is EXHAUSTING and there's no way around it as that happened many saves ago.

Please explain the ins and outs of moving as blatantly clear as possible in the game, not just online on a thread.

And for fellow Simmers, If you could please chime in or support me with some added information, that would be sparkling.

Save your lot before you Sim(s) move to your My Library. Then replace the lot with the saved one before you have you Sim(s) move back in. Everything should be as it was. I know this because I saved the Wright Way House decorated for Christmas, since it took me hours to finish it. I didn't add the tree as I like my Sims to decorate that. This will save you time and grief.

@IceyJ Yes, collectible are saved, if you move your house into My Library before you remove your family. I saved the Legacy Challenge house, and continue to use it for my Rock Star, since he was my Legacy Founder in the Challenge. ;) There were all of those frogs in the downstairs bedroom! LOL Row upon row of them. Oi! Also, if you keep furniture, everything should come with your Sim family. I found this out and learned that even the planted things end up in the family inventory. Easier than starting the garden all over again.
