    You can create a new family from within the game.

    Either choose the lot you want the family to live and create a new family from the menu there (I'll add pics later if you don't find it) or click on the icon with the two people in the upper right corner on map view and create a new family from the household manager.

    You can also split your family there to have them move out.

Thanks, I was afraid that was the case.

Does anybody know how to play a neighbourhood without it resetting every time you create a new family? I want all my families to be able to interact, and move on, with each other.  Even more, I want  to be able to fill in the gaps on the empty lots and in the empty houses!  Every time I make a family to move in the neighbourhood seems to reset to the original settings. 

I've never played Sims2 or 3.  I only got Sims4 because I couldn't get the original Sims to work on my laptop anymore.

    I've found it!

    Thanks for your help.  I really appreciate it. 

    I miss the old printed game manuals that actually told you how to play the game.  I wouldn't mind a downloaded one if only it was a bit more detailed.
