I haven't found anything discussing what I've been looking for, so I assume it isn't a thing for this game.
Basically, I was going around just flipping houses for the heck of it, and because it's better than those dumb house flipper apps.
I haven't really tried to do this in S4 yet, and I realized I didn't know how to remove all of the furniture in the house to flip it - and have been looking for a cheat (no mods, my laptop/antivirus doesn't agree with mods very well) to delete all of the furniture.
Of course, there isn't a way currently.
BUT I found a few ways to delete most of the things quickly - most of you already probably know, but those of you who are/were struggling, here's what I do.
Trick 1: Delete the floor, then build it
(furniture is gone, but anything on the walls stays) (will need to do this for each room)
Trick 2: Hold-click on an object in a corner, then drag the highlighted box to the far adjacent corner
(everything is gone, including doors, windows & stairs) (Can be done by floor)
Trick 3: Save the lot to your library, bulldoze the lot, then go back to your Gallery, click on the house you just saved, and place it to current lot - choose unfurnished
(all furniture is gone, but I believe doors, windows & stairs stay) (all at once, but is kind of a long process if your computer runs slow)
If anyone else has a new/better idea or way to delete the furniture, or a cheat I missed, please post~!!!
Thanks in advance for reading/posting/sharing

I have been looking for an idea for a new game - thank you this is brilliant, I hate the premade houses - (the flooring is really dark wood/not enough lighting/bathrooms in weird places/odd furniture/house and garden plantitis - too many plants!) I am going to have a developer sim and flip those premade houses thank you!!
LOL, that made me giggle! And for that is one really quick way to get all of your household items removed!
I don't know exactly how much time this will save, but it cuts out a couple of steps (bulldozing the lot and opening your full library) so should save at least a little on less powerful computers.
I laughed way too hard at that.
Anyway, those are some great ideas, but I find it extremely satisfying to go around with that sledgehammer and clicking on things to remove them.

That's what I do just save and download unfurnished again. Easy.
Also unfurnishing a lot does not help when builders use furniture objects as build decor which I love, so yeah.. can't think of a better option in these cases.
Maybe if they could let us unfurnish PER room, it would be more useful.
