1.) Sim Transporter 080712 by Christianlov
SimTransporter is a tool with which you can move in and out sims easily. It isn’t a teleporter but a move in tool. For an example, if you want to move Cassandra to Darren Dreamer’s family and you are now playing Lothario, you don’t need to quit Lothario and then enter Darren’s lot. You can “transport” Cassandra to Darren’s lot while playing Lothario. If you visit Darren’s house after that, she will be there.
2.) No Move Out Reaction by Cyjon
People no longer stomp their command queues to run over and wave goodbye to sims moving out. Should work for normal move outs, going to college, or graduating.
3.) Apartment Moveout Finance Fixer by Kestrellyn
Apartment Life introduced an annoying new problem – when your sims moved out of an apartment, they got a lot of free money, presumably because the game is doing something silly like selling off all the furniture in the apartment when they move out, which doesn’t make sense since that furniture in most cases wasn’t actually paid for by them and thus isn’t theirs to sell. Pescado “fixed” this in his apthack by making your sims pay for all that furniture when they moved into the apartment in the first place. But there are several problems with this fix: 1) it makes it prohibitively expensive to move into an apartment, which sort of defeats the purpose of apartments, 2) if you don’t depreciate everything in the apartment before moving in, you will lose a lot of money, and 3) even if you do depreciate everything in the apartment before you move in, you still lose money because it turns out Pescado miscalculated how much the apartment deposit should be.
With this object installed, when you move out of an apartment, do the following:
– Before moving out, purchase the Apartment Moveout Family Fund Fixer, which costs 0 simoleons, looks like the cute alien poster from Apartment Life and is available from Misc/Misc or from Decorative/Misc.
– Select the “Prepare for moveout” option, which should show you your current family funds. Afterwards it will be disabled and read “Saved family funds” instead. Take note of what this amount is; that is the actual amount of money your sims have to spend on their new house or apartment.
– Move out of the apartment. Your sims will gain a bunch of free money.
– Move into a new house or apartment that costs less than the amount you saved with the family fund fixer.
– Place the family fund fixer again, and select “Restore family funds”, which will set your family funds back to what they should be. This option will show you the amount that it will set your family funds to, which should be the amount you saved, minus the cost of the lot (if you moved into a house) or the rent (if you moved into an apartment). If you spent more than the amount you saved, the option will be disabled and will read “Restore family funds: Negative amount” instead (meaning that if it were to show you the amount, it would be negative, but I don’t actually trust the game to properly display potentially large negative numbers). If you are in a house, you can place mortgage shrubs from SimLogical until the lot is cheap enough that the option is enabled. Or you can just place them before buying the house, as you would normally.
4.) Move-in Assets Fixed and Improved by Lamare
This mod fixes two issues with wrong funds when sims move in by invitation or marriage. It also allows to choose how much money to transfer from split household (optional feature). Fix: Sims get the money for their sold house when they move in from another sub-hood. Without the fix, they only bring their cash funds.
Example of the problem: Let’s say, you play Malcolm in Bluewater. He married Brandy from Pleasantview, and she brought her kids with her. You’d think she sold her trailer and should bring in some decent money, but due to the bug, she only brought her pitiful cash. Not with this mod! Another example is if sims got married not where they live, e.g. while on vacation or on a community lot in a different sub-hood. These cases are also covered by the mod.
Technically, the game gets family’s net worth wrong if that family lives NOT in the sub-hood you are currently in. It counts only their funds, but not the value of their house. Dorms and apartments are special. Sims moving in from those lots bring in only their cash funds, no matter the subhood. So, have your sims pack their stuff before they move.
Example: Don is about to marry Nina, and she lives in an apartment alone. Switch to her lot first and pack her own things into her inventory or sell them to get the money, and then go back to Don’s and have a wedding. The stuff she leaves at the apartment is lost forever, and the landlord won’t pay for it. Same goes for dorms.
This mod contains additional notes from the creator, please see in link.
5.) Stay Things Shrub by Lenna9
An updated mod of Stay-Things Shrub by Inge Jones. Fixes objects such as diplomas, career rewards, paintings and other craftable items that will disappear after move out. Instead all objects will stay on the lot as if a Sim died on the lot. This will make all objects reset to zero value so your Sims family will not receive any Simoleans for these objects and the next family moving in will pay a lower price for the lot.
6.) Fix Lot Value after using the Stay-Things Shrub by Mootilda
The Stay-Things Shrub from SimLogical is a wonderful mod, which allows your lot to remain furnished when the family moves out. Unfortunately, it has an inadvertent side effect: all objects which would have been deleted from the lot (without the shrub) will be valued at zero when calculating the lot value. This means that your lot will not be properly valued, often being undervalued by tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of simoleons. This undervaluation cannot be fixed by buying, building, or packaging the lot. The StayThingsShrub Fixer will undo this side effect, ensuring that your unoccupied lot value includes the current value of all objects on the lot, so that the next family to move into the lot will pay its real value. Note that this mod is only useful on an unoccupied lot.
7.) Move Out Bug Fix by Pescado
Nightlife ll University

8.) Townie Move In No Memory Loss by Squinge
Open For Business ll Pets ll Apartment Life
This mod prevents the game from erasing townie’s memories when you marry them or move them in to your house.
