Leave house intact
J. M. Pescado:
I think this can happen if you move across subhood boundaries, as the stats of the other lot will be unavailable when their subhood is not loaded.

I still think it's easier to package the lot complete with sims, edit the packaged lot with CI (Choose lot only in CI and "save as" a new filename) and re-install. That gives you used furniture, undone dishes and a backup of the lot without moving any files around or side trips into usercheats or SimPE.
You're going to tell me there's something wrong with that now aren't you? I can almost feel it coming!

The reason I haven't been using this method is because some occupied lots I've tried it on Post-Seasons have taken ridiculously long times to package, if they package at all.
Instead, I've been using the boolprop ShowLotPackageFileName true cheat, noting the location, hunting down the file, and then copying it to the LotCatalog folder. I find the highest-numbered cx_########.package name that's in the folder, and rename the file to be the very next number.
You don't have to quit the game to do this. You will have to load a different neighborhood to make the house show up in the Houses and Lots bin without quitting.

There's nothing wrong with that. ;D It's just not easier for Mac users since we lack Clean Installer, too. Thus, it's not quite so universally easy as some of the other methods.
