I'm not sure if anyone else is as irritated as I am with how ridiculously complicated it is to merge fresh families. As in, making a family and then deciding later that I wanted to more in a long lost lover, relative, or what-have-you. For some reason, I also did not have the option to pack my stuff while combing the households, do I have to buy moving boxes or something?
In TS2, I moved out and merged sims left and right, trying to keep my households fresh and enjoyable. This is an irritating step back for me.
Also, I'm a little concerned about the "Copy To Town" option. It seems to be available for sims I already have placed down. Would this create a highly unwanted townie clone of that sim? It smells like a VBT.
To pack your items, go into Buy mode and click the third button in the Choose by Room/Choose by Type/Family Inventory (the box) column. That is your fambly inventory; if your entire fambly moves, that goes with it. Just use the Hand tool to pick up object and drop them in!
To merge/split households, you have to enter Edit Town mode. Click on a household and there should be a button with two people separated by a line; that's how you split them up. I believe that you merge by taking sims off of the clipboard (on the left of the screen on transparent white boxes when you split/move famblies) or out of your "custom household box" (where CAS sims go) and dragging them into whatever household. You still can't put in more than eight sims, though (why a person want to, I have no idea!).

But when I told my family to move out there were two options on the Moving screen. Sell or Pack objects. Sell was checked, and Pack was grayed out. I seriously have to move all objects to inventory to Pack them?

I know how to do it. I'm saying it's a pain in the ass.
EDIT: I just noticed you are referring to the Split option. Why use that when there's a Merge?
EDIT2: And on further inspection you cannot drag sims out of the CAS box under either option so now I know you are sprouting nonsense.
Crazetex:
...to take sims out of a house you're not playing?
DJKID:
I'm trying to MERGE. BECOME ONE. I don't want to take anyone out of the house.
