ETA: Not sure if it still works but this is the one I was thinking of - http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=557383
Maybe someone here has used it recently and will comment. I've never used it and only knew about it because it was in the "suggested mods" the other day. Didn't realize how dated it was.

Clever solution!
Good thinking!
Yes, I always do this trick for everything. :P It's the best.
This a very good idea. I'll have to remember it for sure!
Sometimes your creativity is limited where you use it most, but you can use those limitations to inspire new forms of creativity you may never have thought of beforehand.
It would seem they just want specific furniture, though that can be solved by just selling everything else before moving and opting to keep the furniture. That does seem a rather exhaustive affair and would require re-furnishing the vacated house if you wish to move a new household in.
As to the second point, you should be getting simoleons if you are getting a cheaper house. The more simoleons if you opt to sell the furniture as opposed to keeping it. If it really does seem to not be working that way, then you might be hitting a rare glitch or just doing something differently.
I do like the room as mobile storage unit idea, as you only need to make a room only as big as you need it to fit everything, and then just sell it once you got the furniture placed in the new house. Just be cautious you don't accidentally upload it to the gallery. Unless you are looking to start your own Sim Storage Wars.
And cant believe theres no move out feature already...

what a brilliant idea. I will remember this. It would have to be done on a different lot though otherwise if its done on the same lot, the whole house would be uploaded and saved. If its just the one room with the stuff in, you need to put all furniture not going in the room, in the family inventory, take down all walls except the one room.
Then once the upload has been done, rebuild the house.
But if its just furniture that can be bought then you could do it on another lot.
But, if you upload the whole house. go to an empty lot, download it and delete what you don't want, then re upload it with just the stuff you want.
Yea I know, that's what I was saying. I think it's kind of dumb that there's no official move out feature.
Save to the room library, not the lot library. A room for the purpose can be constructed in the basement. No need to do it on a different lot.

There's an option to save just one room to your Library. You have to click on that room and when those arrow things pop up on the sides, go to your Save lot button and there's a drop down. A box icon will be not grayed out and there's where you save a room.

Yes! This works wonderfully, I've used this idea a lot.
I do this too, especially if there are some beautiful paintings I want to share among my households.
put the stuff you wanna move in the family inventory, then move the whole family along with the sim you're trying to move out, then take the stuff out of the inventory and move the rest of the family back to their house.
a bit of work, but it would work I think.
