LOL, sorry but I know what you mean. Maybe they don't like the view or the aroma coming from the fish and chip shop next door. Some sims just don't know when and with what they should be satisfied.

But to be sure, have you checked on Lot Inspection Failures with MC before they have had a chance to move on you?

I didn't realize they were downsizing rather than upsizing. It is possible that SP is determining that, while they may have plenty of money now, the expected weekly property tax bills on the original lots are not sustainable at current income levels. Or the sims are just a bunch of cheapos. Of course we players can see when this is or isn't the case probably with greater accuracy, so setting the moving out restrictions on the individual households we wish to stay put is often the best answer.

With or without rotational play, I usually have a lot of fun working with the lot inspection routines and making inactive households compliant (at their expense) when I can. It's not the sims' fault that they can't simply buy new furniture like cribs and pet beds when their household starts growing up or expanding in size. Then once everyone is passing except for those whom I can't make pass because their houses/lots are just too small, I sit back and let SP do its thing and see what it comes up with after a few runs of the Lot Manager and some sim weeks have gone by.

But that's just me. I don't try to play an entire world, but I do like to guide worlds full of sims I would never play myself into what seem like sort of logical life decisions.
