Feel free to call me an idiot
BastDawn:
I also recommend the clean templates, to avoid getting Maxis-made sims in your sim bin in the future. The templates also remove standard townies like Goopy. Read the tutorial before you install them.

You should be able to save the buildings. Move out the sims in the normal manner (just move the entire families to the sim bin from neighbourhood view). Then move the EMPTY houses/lots to the lot bin. They should be available then in any hood.
No! Stop! Make a backup of your TS2/Neighborhoods/NXXX/Lots folder from that 'hood first. If you do this step before moving them out, you can save the furnished lots, instead of just shells.
I no longer have the link to the original post, but JMP can confirm the method, as he is the author:
1. In your userstartup.cheat file, add this line:
boolprop ShowLotPackageFilename true
2. For the family you about to evict, make a list of the lot catalog number and name of their house, as you mouse over their lot. Move the sims out as instructed.
3. Load the empty shell of a house, save and exit to the neighbourhood.
4. Repeat for as many houses as you wish to save.
5. Quit the game. For each lot on your list above, copy/replace from the backup files.
6. Launch the game.
7. Enter evicted house again, see it in its formerly furnished glory. Save and exit.
8. In 'hood view, package the lot as usual.
9. Repeat for all the lots on your list.

Or you could just use Inge's Stay Things shrub and save yourself the hassle.

I cannot believe the OP got this many replies without someone fulfilling it's original request.
Lamber, you are an idiot.
Many of us experienced the BFBVFS in our early days of simming. How have you managed to play all these years with an unawesome game, anyway? Pay attention to the nice people's advices, and learn from your mistakes.

*boggles* Wondering why I hadn't heard of that very handy-sounding hack, since I was recently all over her site.
Just found it, and it doesn't appear to have been updated for AL yet. (Which is why, I'm sure, I didn't pay close attention to it.)
