'Keep Furniture' not working when moving

Eloped immediately while in one Sim's home.  Opted to move into the other sims home once married.  did not select to sell furnishings.  Nothing happened.  A tip said I can combine households in edit neighborhood.  I presume that means edit worlds.  

had to select the home button on their profile for them to travel home to the other house.  When there I checked the inventory and nothing was transferred.  

Fortunately she was rather poor and had sold all her paintings. He's a millionaire so will buy her what she wants.  Glad we didn't move into her house.  

 

Playing on a Mac.  Fully updated game.

  • I have tried to move this household multiple times, always with the keep furniture set. They loose everything. This did not start to happen until the last update. I have no CC installed or mods running. 

  • I made a report, that is not the same as the one in this thread, but it was changed to duplicate status because of this thread. So, I am going to comment on this in the hopes that the person who changed it will actually read the problem. Every time I try to move the household in my current game, since the newest update only, they lose all their belongings. This happens with Keep Furniture selected, with no CC or mods installed or running. This was not a problem 7 months ago, this is a new in February of 2025 problem. The game has been repaird multiple times, still happening and only started after the 2 newest game kits were installed and update happened.  I play on my PC.

    This happened to one of my households a few weeks ago: they lost everything and I ended up loading a previous auto save. (Playing on PlayStation 5, so mod free guaranteed.)

    On a related note … More recently I had Johnny Zest marry my Sim and when moving him to my Sim’s house, I clicked “Sell Furniture” and though the Simoleons were added to the household funds, the now empty house seems to still have all of its outdoor furniture, flamingo and all. 

  • I had a similar issue the other way around. I chose to keep the items when merging households, but were left with an empty inventory and no simoleons.

    I'm leaving a comment because mine did not have to do with a marriage move-in. I had a household living in a starter home for a while and I decided to move them so they could have more land for crops. I moved from Willow Creek to Henford on Bagley if that matters and when I clicked keep furniture not a single item was kept, and I didn't get money so they weren't sold. I restarted the game multiple times, had different sims try to move from the phone, and even waited a little bit to make sure that the game definitely had time to process my household inventory. I ended up having to move every item into my inventory individually by hand. After I finally was fully moved in, I discovered that all my food in my fridge (and I had a lot of produce) had vanished as well. I don't know if this was because I got a new fridge or because of the move (though I had gotten a new fridge at one point in my old house when my husband moved in and nothing happened).

    This issue with keeping furniture when moving is still a problem.  My sim has moved 4 times and lost all furniture every time.  All the updated items, time and money lost every time.  Have repaired the game but it didnt work.  I hope this issue is being looked into :(

  • I'm still having this same issue whether I'm having a sim marry or move. All their things don't go with them. So annoying and I have no mods.
