Can You Split a Family into Two, Non-Starter Homes?

[Maconbar]

I have a somewhat wealthy family that wants to provide their children with nicer, first homes. Outside of a cheat is there any way to accomplish this? I can only see the $20,000 to buy a starter home option.

Move out of your house into their house... Move as a family... Then Move your family back to their original home leaving them behind. The cheat would be easier giving them the money and subtracting it from your family (if you were wanting to stay fair). Either way that is your alternative

I would also like to see this feature added. As my kids move out and get married, I would like to give them more than just a few bucks. I also can't figure out how to move just part of a household or just one individual, if they are not getting married. It seems the only way is to "ask to move in" if they choice comes up while interacting with another sim. I am a bit confused by this. Does anyone know more about moving in general?

I've been using the motherlode cheat to get the funds to move Sims into nicer houses.  You have to use the Manage Household option on the main menu.  You can split your household that way and move onto an empty lot or into a cheap house.  Then I use the motherlode cheat to get enough money to move them into the house I've chosen.  Considering that we can't move them around like we did in Sims 3, I feel that using the cheat is justified in these cases.

I started using "freerealestate on" for the same type of things. It's ultimately the same thing but I don't feel like I'm cheating as much (I know I'm odd). This way you can move people anywhere and the cost is $0 for any building/lot.
