Environment preference of the sims
kutto:
Gali, I think you missed the point. We're not telling you to change the amount of lights in the room. We just want you to change the wallpaper and floors. Nothing else. That is called a controlled experiment.
sewinglady:
And, Ideally, the room should be EMPTY and STAY EMPTY for each 'change'...
So build a small room, Put in NO objects save a single light fixture. Then put a sim in it.
Change ONLY the floor and wallpapers and see if the sims environment score changes.
Ideally, this should be done with floors and wallpapers that have the same exact costs, but different colorways in order to correctly discern whether or not sims have a 'color preference'.

No! Not the floors! They do affect the environment, the cost does! Leave the floors, only use decorating mode to change the sheets, that shows "color preference".

The second room has been completely redecorated. You didn't just change the bed. You put expensive floors down, added a rug, added lights, got an expensive desk and a nice bookcase.
Neriana, I have many downloaded objects, which are cheap, and many floor/walls which cost 1-2$, specially for starters. The ones I used are the downloaded ones, on purpose.
The desk costs 140$ (downloaded), and the lamps are cheap too.
But it didn't help to change the environment rate at all. It changed ONLY after I replaced the original bed with cheaper one, but with red color.
You changed the floors and didn't tell us how much the second floors cost. You added lamps and a bookcase where there had been no lamps or bookcase before. The desk I can't say, but I know that bed comes with an environment score of 6, as I have it in my game. It's from Life Stories, and costs $3800. Even if you found a cheaper one somewhere, I bet they didn't change the environment score, just the price.

OK, Sara, here is the special test you wanted:
This is the original room:
I didn't touch anything, just replaced the bed with the SAME BED, but in red color - this is the result:
Of course it's not enough, because I have to add lights too, and a desk with a computer. But you see the >>> sign of the environment scale.
Is it enough?
