Environment preference of the sims
Nec:
Well, after extensive testing I have come to the conclusion that color schemes have no affect whatsoever, period. Test sim results as follows:
TK-432 sat patiently on the sofa, power idling while redecoration took place. A very good servo, indeed.
Here we have the original setup - primarily blacks and reds:
Now we change to a blue theme, no environment change.
Maybe white will make a difference? Nah. I even changed the walls and floors - both the same cost as the originals.
I thought that perhaps, being a servo, TK-432 was less sensitive. Also, sheets have been mentioned a lot. So, I decided to test the sheet theory with the most sensitive of sims - the vampire. Johann is our faithful test subject for the sheet theory. We start with the standard black, and Star Wars bedding:
So I change the colors to light wood with lighter bedding. No change.
Alas, I give in and buy a new bed - exact same model/bedding and...voila! Environment finally goes up. Imagine that. :P
So you see, Gali, not *all* of us redecorate by purchasing new furniture - and that is the REAL difference in your environment score. Sorry to disappoint you :)
Diala:
To add to Nec's conclusion, here is a test I did with the Ramaswami (sp?) family.
First test: Blue house, everything Maxis objects:
Second test: Changed only the color of the objects using the recolor tool. No change!
Third test: Changed wallpaper to a different kind of color, but the same price. No change as well!
Sorry Gali. Nice try, though.
Assmitten:
Okay, roffling at the vampire with Star Wars sheets.
Thanks, scientists.

All the experiments done here are not the same as mine.
1) I bought NEW objects, choosing some color-style (for instance, blue), and reached *full environment scale*.
2) After 6 sim days I replaced all the objects I bought with new ones, this time another color-style (for instance, yellow).
As I expected, I should get full environment scale too, because I already reached it. But here was the surprise: when the sim enterred the room, *I lost environment points*, although I changed only the color style, but bought the same, but NEW objects, of different color.
3) Now I replaced immediately the new yellow-styled objects with new blue-styled objects - and I got again the full environment scale.
So, the experiment should be this:
1) *Reach full environment scale*, choosing any color-style design, using NEW objects.
2) Replace the styled objects with different color-styled objects, and test the sim's reaction when he enters the room. You already had full environment scale - *if now you lose environment points*, the sim doesn't like the chosen color-style.
That's what I am talking about.
When Daniel Pleasant had the red-styled bedroom - when he enterred the room, I got full environment scale.
When I replaced the objects with green-styled ones - I lost environment points.
When I replaced (immediately) the green-styled objects with red-styled ones - I got again the full environment scale.
Perform THIS experiment, and see the results.
Sagana:
What was he doing when he entered the room each time? In some of those images, you've got sims just standing there but in one she's sitting down reading. A sims gains environment if he/she finds something of use/interest/fun in a room. (For example, even if they hate the bathroom, their environment score will go up when they take a bath or potty :p)
