How to LEAVE your furniture in your house when you move?

I want to move my Sim family out of their house, but leave the furniture in it just as it is placed, so that another family can move in and use the house furnished. If I do NOT check the "sell all furniture" option, will the furniture remain in the house just as I placed it?
Generally, I'm finding the moving household thing to be NOT intuitive.
I moved a family in with the Landgraabs and tried to move Geoffrey into the old, smaller house so I could preserve the old house just as it was. But when I completed the move, Geoffrey had disappeared off the map entirely. Which I'm only assuming meant I forgot to uncheck "Sell all furniture," so the furniture in the old house disappeared, so he could not live there.
If I move an entire family out of a house does it automatically become unfurnished, or only if I check "sell all furniture"?
Can anyone clear up my confusion on this?

See, this is so confusing to me, because to me "sell all furnishings" means you're vaporizing them for the cash (what usually happens in the sims when you sell things), not leaving them. But I'll take your word for it and give it a try
This would be great! Love your idea.
Sounds like what we need is something along the lines of a pop-up, when moving out just part of the family, that would show the family inventory and let us select specific items from it to take along in the move.
What about if you put the selected items into their inventory?
What I have a problem with is moving my YA sims out into a house of their own (and NOT in with some other random household, but a new empty house that is already in world), leaving their parents back at the home place. How do you do that?
Go out to Map view & Manage Households. You can move out your YA sim & leave their parents.
Click the household you want to manage, then choose Transfer Sims Between Households. Under that menu, choose Unplayed tab, then click the Create New Household button at the top. Click on the sim you're moving out & transfer them over to the Unplayed column, they'll get $20k. From there, you can select them from the unplayed household list & move them onto their own lot.
Edit - for clarity
Thanks! I night try that today, if I don't try making the house their currently in bigger myself. I love what I did with the kitchen and am going to have a hard time moving them as it is. Lol.
You can save your kitchen as a Styled Room in Build Mode, upload it to your library, so you can use it in subsequent builds/lots
Thank you!!! You rock!
You're welcome.
Edit: All my inventory items transferred successfully.
Did that change in a patch? Last I tried, selling furniture left a house barren, not selling it left the family inventory cluttered.
This is a great idea. I have wanted the same thing. I think it's a travesty that when a Sim family becomes rich their offspring cannot take any portion of the wealth with them. I would love more options.
