I am in the process of following the hard method of moving my sims to a new hood from the wiki - http://simswiki.info/Game_Help:Moving_Sims

It mentions removing relationships and I am wondering if I have to remove family ties from SimPE or if it just applies to families where I am leaving sims behind (which I am not, all playable sims are moving). Also the family ties I am talking about are siblings who live in different households.

Thanks!

Why not move the easy way, it really is safer. I would never use the other method. I should think it applies to all.

I'd lose all my progress. I find it really difficult to stay interested in hoods normally and this is the one hood that has families that I love. Plus the easy way seems like more work in the long run as I would feel the need to try and restore all the skills and pregnancies that I would have lost and I know I would end up abandoning the hood :/

Yes the easy way needs you to set your characters up again in the new hood, most things can be set in simpe. Skills, relationships, badges, jobs etc. Pregnancies are easy to set with the sim blender or Boolprop. Good luck with it, I don't actually know anyone whose used the hard method, hopefully some one can help. I would always assume things mentioned means for every sim.

Alright, thank you. I shall remove it just to be safe then.

I don't know why you're moving all the sims - but if you just want a change of scenery, you can change the terrain of the existing neighbourhood using Mootilda's HoodReplace programme.
