How to move house in sims 3

broken image

On my last move, I had finally reached the stage of copying my sim&house to a new lot so that the stuff was still in the game. Now, having moved sooo many times, I am wondering whether it is necessary for me to put each item into inventory and then delete each wall, window, ECO, when I want to keep some stuff during a move. In the past, I hired maids for many Sim months to pick up dozens of books from the floor where I (the person, not the Sim) had placed them because I did not know that I could use the family inventory to avoid the book problem that I had created. Is there any way to move all contents at once? In the past, I have moved every item one item at a time. I want to move everything in my Sim's house it family inventory.
