Default Transitioning from potty pads to outside???

Yes, another house training question.

I (foolishly) trained my yorkies to use potty pads. My first yorkie basically trained himself-he was paper trained and then decided he would rather go outside. I didn't know how lucky I was!

So my girls are paper trained...except they also like carpet. I guess they feel like anything warm/soft on the floor is a potty pad. Neat. I want to get them 100% housebroken since I am 1) unemployed and 2) moving into a new house that I don't want to have them crap all over! They love going outside and will potty out there. But they don't have any preference for it. They are totally fine going indoors as well. I go out with them, give them treats and praise when they do, but still they go in the house a solid 50% of the time unless I am on them 24/7.

Anyone have any success at this? Any tips? I've tried crating them, but one seriously FREAKS OUT when I try. And poops in her bed to voice her displeasure I just can't convince them that going outside is better than inside!
