It is a way to prevent big family's moving out of town.
I created a family with 8 family-members, at day 2 they moved out from town. It's annoying. I tried it again, they moved out from town at the second day.
The question is WHY? and how do I prevent them from moving out from town?

Oddly, I'd only had one family move before this in weeks of playing(oh, actually this couple when they had their first set of twins...had to remake them). And suddenly yesterday I had 4 or so families disappear...several were mom's with kids of a man who remarried someone else in my neighbourhood...poor guys, their kids are gone!!! Very sad....I also had death of a teen and toddler! My story progression seems to be working much harder now than ever before.
Has anyone else found this to be true, or have I just been lucky? Anyway, it has kept my towns occupied with created families in my games. Also, I think switching active households resets all relationships with townies to zero. So if you switch to play another household for a bit and come back to your original, some of your moved in sim families in the town might not have the active player as friend anymore and move away.
I have found this to be true, overall. If a sim in the main house is friendly with a sim in another house, or at least an aquaintance, that is more than a tiny little line. Those sims do not move out. If I have not met or befriended someone, they will sometimes move out. Generally I have no problem with move outs, as such. Due to I only try to improve relations that I truely don't want to see move. As for family members moving out of town, have not had that happen, but once, and in reality the person never moved out, just never moved into a home, that I could find.
But I played the Bunch family untill they had their fifth child, and when I came back, a long time later, their oldest had dissapeared, just him though, nobody else.
what kind of gameplay feature is that? probably the worst one ever invented in the history of games XD its so stupid moving out families, especially the ones i spend the most time on.
I also got informed today that the Landgraabs moved out of town. I was kinda bummed about that, even though none of my sims knew them, because they are a major part of the town. I do like story progression though, because it keeps things interesting. I do agree that it's frustrating when your created sims move! I'm going to move those girls back in and make sure at least one of my sims meets them so that hopefully they will stay.
I agree, a screwy game play feature. But the fact that they coded it on purpose into the game play, means there is a style of play to keep it from happening.
They actually were best friends with another family (and had a brother who lived in the town as well) so I was shocked when they were gone. I felt like I see them a lot and they are played a lot. So annoying!!!
i don't think this is true. My sim's eldest son, wife, and two girls just moved out of town. I rotate playing these sims they all have tons of interaction with each other when I'm not playing that partical family as active.
Not happy. They are still on my family tree but the son is no longer married to her. IDK what the deal is but jeez. I do not want to start all over. I'm scared to move my sims out on their own.
Gunter goss married one and a son who was living there married another
They all upped and left town.
Bah
Oh! I also kill off all elder people lol. Once again, helps with the population. A lot of work but worth it so I don't lose the Sims I want.
