No move out adult sims

Was playing sims 4 today and it no longer gives the option to move my adult children out of the house. These options have gone light grey making them inaccessible to use. Why?

    If you have any mods move the mods folder to the desktop.

    Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder and fix the game in Origin.


    Origin/Library -right click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.


    Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder. Check if a game is working now without mods.
    Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. First, paste script mods every time checking if the game is OK. Do the same with CC but if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method

    If you don't have CC or mods delete this file and fix the game also. The game will create the same new file but without saved errors.

    If it does not work then try doing a factory reset as described in this post:

  • If you can't move them out of the house, try doing so from the neighborhood window as opposed to within the game. (Sometimes events occurring on the lot can interfere with lot-specific actions, such as traveling, moving in/out of household, and adopting.)

    Here's a step-by-step process: (These are PC steps; if you use another version, you'll have to specify.)

    1: Go to the Neighborhood Menu, select the "Manage Households" button on the upper-right.

    2: Locate your household in the "My Households" list.

    3: Select the "Transfer Sims Between Households" option. (It looks like a left/right pair of arrows.)

    4: Select the household you want to move the Sim to in the list it provides. (If you want to have them as their own household, click the "Create New Household" button at the top. Note that if you do this, your new household will not be in the world as of yet, and you'll have to move them into a lot like any new household.)

    If you are using mods that affect household management, make sure to follow @kreatora 's suggestion to handle conflicting mods.
