Well, I just want to know how your Pleasants got so rich!? Did you motherlode them up the wazoo, or is Daniel involved in some illegal activities?
Gali is an infamous and notorious cheater.
Of course! My Mother[lode] works overtime...:).
Kutto, I use only *one lot*, which is a packaged lot, and has the same attributes at the beginning.
After the simulator begins to cause disasters from different kinds (as leaking shower, etc), I redecorate the whole lot again, choosing different color-styles. So, the number of the lamps in each room is the same at the all lots.
From the Pleasants, I passed to the Dreamers, where I redecorated the bedrooms to blue-style.
After the experience with Daniel - who didn't like blue either, I wasn't sure what is the influence of the blue-style to the Dreamers. So, I moved Darren to stand in the blue-styled bedroom - and the environment rate was full scale.
Means, different sim characters like different colors, and if you succeed to guess the right one, you can save a lot of taxes.
I remember playing in some dorm, in which I redecorated the students bedroom with very few humble objects, and I got there full environment scale.
As I need more proofs, I'll try to run some dorm again, to see the results. Pictures will be included.

I don't believe this. I think you're looking at the effects of other variables.
If you want to test the effect of color on environment score, decorate a room and observe the scores at various positions in the room. Then, without changing any of the furniture or decorations, use the design tool to change the colors. If you change the floors or walls, make sure the new ones are as similar as possible to the originals (especial with regards price). Then check the room as close to the original positions as you can. I doubt you'll be able to see a difference.

Even their computer is not spared.
That's actually the expensive computer that comes from Life Stories -- you can find links to it here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=7314.0

I'm not sure about color but I know that sims prefer some floors and walls over others - I am guessing based on cost(?) I have also noticed that if you rebuild many times an "upgraded" room's score will go way down until you randomly tear down a few squares of wall and rebuild it back exactly the same. I read that here somewhere awhile back and sure enough it works everytime although I have had to figure out which part of the wall.
For example, if I remember correctly Malcolm in BW has 2 bathrooms on the bottom floor, one decorated to the extreme and it's score is lousy until you do this and then it jumps right up there without changing anything. Although in that case I think if you sell his decorations they cost an insane amount (the towel holder thingys) like 999 or something and I am not sure what is up with that.
KellyQ:
Actually I've been wondering about environment scores as well. I just restarted Pleasantview when I installed Seasons and at the Broke household, every time any one of them goes into the bathroom, their environment score goes all the way down. I have no idea why. There isn't anything broken or dirty, they have the cheap toilet, pedestal sink and shower/tub combo, overhead light and one privacy window, which is pretty much standard on most of my lots (excluding wealthy sims). Theirs is the only one though that sends sims into the red though and I can't figure out what the problem is.
It's extremely annoying.
