Quick question on lot transplants.
Arina:
I think it's only if people move out to move in with other people or if they die that the lot stays how it was. Then again, I've not done that probably since Nightlife.
But, I don't know if sims dying on the lot would cause any problems with moving it afterwards, so maybe that's not the solution.
Theo:
Right, I forgot you can propose the last sim in a lot to move into another :D
But anyway, does it make a difference if that lot has pending actions (like a maid cleaning stuff, carpools, etc...), or will all that be cleared when moving in the next family?
jsalemi:
Pending actions are cleared when a new family moves in.

The problem I had during Seasons (post patch3, I can't speak for unpatched) was that as soon as I moved out the family, all furnishings disappeared.
I thought this was standard behavior, and the only way to avoid it was to place an Ingeological 'Stay things' shrub on the lot, prior to the move-out.
But some comments here leave the impression that there's a way to make it so sans-hacks, is that true?
That is standard behavior, but if you have a backup of the lot file from when it was furnished, and you enter and save the lot after the family has moved out and quit, then you can replace the lot file and it will be a fully furnished empty house. Pescado posted about this elsewhere because he said Ingeological's shrub left junk data, particularly on the refrigerator and such, and that this was a better way. I've done it in a fully patched all EPs and SPs through Seasons game and it works I swear it.

The Ingelogical Stay-Things will corrupt the value of the lot. This approach is not recommended, especially not for lots you intend to package and share.

Yes, you can simply back up the lot file, evict the target family, revisit and save the lotfile, and then quit game + restore backup at some later date. Note that you must revisit and save the lot again after the game removes all the furniture, or else whatever causes the furniture to be removed will still be in place, as the game does not actually remove furniture until you revisit the lot.
