Moving lots to new neighbourhoods

[Dbnguy]

Is it at all possible?

I found a really awesome neighborhood that I want to use. However, I want to transfer my existing house WITH family and furniture to this new neighbourhood. I have tried packaging the lot to a file, but when I install it, it doesnt show up in the new neighbourhood. Im sure it must be possible as there is a "TAB" under the lots section for occupied houses.

Please can someone shed some light as to how this can be doen, it at all...

thanks a million Guys

Installing occupied lots is bad, mmmkay?  Yes, it is possible to do it, but it is also known to cause BFBVFS.

If you insist on doing it, I suggest you read this thread:

You mean you found a new terrain that you want to use?

It would be safer to do terrain surgery rather than moving lots. See the War Room for a tutorial, and make sure you make a backup before you start.

...or just use it as a subhood. Of course, your family would still be in the main, but you could put new families in the subhood.

Besides, if it's used as a subhood, then it's at least safe to move the family within the neighborhood by moving them out of their lot.
