Start from the town map
The key step is to zoom out until you are looking at the town map. SimsCommunity describes this view as the place where lot icons appear and household or lot options become available.
From the town view, click your active family home lot. The active lot menu is where Paralives exposes house and household management actions, including Move Lot, Split Household, Save Lot to the library, Place Lot from the library, and Sell Lot.
- Zoom out to town view.
- Select the home lot for the household you are playing.
- Use Move Lot if you mean relocating the current lot or house.
- Use Save Lot or Place Lot from the library if you are preserving or reusing a build.
- Use Sell Lot only when you are sure you want to give up that lot.
Buying another home
To buy a new home or extra lot, open town view and click an available home. SimsCommunity notes that the option is called Purchase Lot, and the confirmation popup shows how many Paradimes you will have left after buying it.
You do not need to treat moving as a camera-control problem. If the goal is a different home, work from the town map and lot menu rather than from inside Build Mode.
Splitting a household and moving Paras out
If you want only some Paras to move out, buy another lot first. Then click the original home lot and choose Split Household.
The split menu lets you move household members to the new household side, optionally transfer Paradimes, and choose the secondary lot where they will live. After that, you can swap between the separated households from the town map.
Taking over or changing an occupied lot
For a neighbor's lot, SimsCommunity documents a workaround: switch to that household, choose Sell Lot, then switch back to your main household and buy the lot. Use this carefully, because it changes ownership and can affect the story you are building.
The YouTube guide titled How to Move Houses in Paralives (EASY GUIDE) points to the same search intent: players are not just asking about movement controls; they are trying to relocate homes and households.
