Is this normal? [S2]

After Mortimer and Alexander died in the Goth house (they were the last
ones living there) I intended to move a new family in. I expected all
the furniture to be there.

Instead the house was empty again! Now, it's been my experience that
when people die in a house the furniture stays; it only leaves if they
move out.

Nah. I had a house cleared that way as well. I was hopping mad.
Not so much for the furniture, but the headstones. 8((

Perhaps it is horses for courses? I can only say for my exasperated killing
off of the last occupant, the house was cleared.

I hate having to furnish houses. In fact, I now only download
pre-furnished homes. So I was bloody pissed.

Yes, I get fed up with furnishing as well, especially as all my Sims are
motherload rolling rich, so they do expect a certain standard.
Hum. As I don't download houses, but do build a lot, I save a completed
house empty (for future development, perhaps, of just to duplicate) and
again furnished.

My only wish is that I had used a bit of sense when I first started because
now I have a long list of such self-explanatory names as 'flintcotfur';
ratbagupper2';cathhouseno' and, worst of the lot.. 'psycho1'; psycho1byes';
psycho2upnotdown.'

One day i will just have to set to, put them all into an empty neighbourhood
and see what the hell they all are, then package them again under a more
sensible name and in different folders!

But that is easy to fix. Just move the house back into the houses bin, then
place it somewhere else, and it lets you rename the lot.

No-no-no. I meant, I have this great tottering pile of packages saved from
my various installs and can't remember what they heck half of them are.
When it comes to starting a new game or new neighbourhood I put in a few
packaged houses and load em up, then start thinking.. 'If I squashed in that
wall and extended the house that way and moved the front door to...' and so
out comes yet another house to be packages and stored away.

I know for a fact a lot of my packages houses are duplicates with just a few
changes. But which ones? And what changes? And which is the best to keep?
See?
I need to check them all out, and boot out the odd one or two... or ten or
so.. twenty, perhaps?
Then repackage them using sensible names like 2st_4bed_1930_posh or
2st_2bed_1930_tiny.

I blame Maxis and their download folder fiasco, because usually my files are
organised. I just got er... carried away.

Granny.

Build a neighborhood just for storing or building houses.
That way you can see all you have.

Yeah!! That is just what I started doing this morning! 8))))
And I found three duplicates already. Houses I unpackaged again, then saved
under a new family name.
And twelve have been deleted as 'oh, garbage!'
And two greeted with howls of joy. 8)) Old friends I thought I had lost.

I had to get ready for work and cut it short.
You can use the build neighborhood to save your work and
then copy the whole neighborhood to a new one.
You can then add the houses you want to he house bin from the copy.
