I did more testing on this after reading EverLastling's post. I don't have Strangervile, but I tested building the same saved room on several other maps/lots. The room was 10x10 with 20 Knights, 5 Viva More of La Landscape, and several other decorations; certainly enough that per-update it would have been Beautifully Decorated (+3).
Sometimes the initial moodlet was Nicely Decorated (+2) and sometimes it was Decorated (+1). At first I thought this might be based on the specific lot/neighborhood. But further testing showed that without any build changes the moodlet will either show Nicely Decorated (+2) or Decorated (+1) randomly. There would often be about an hour or two gap where no decorated moodlet was granted.
An interesting side note: The decorated moodlets would vanish immediately upon bulldozing the lot, even with time remaining. The moodlets did not vanish upon leaving the room.
I’m having the same issue. The decorations all have high environment points. I’ve got one of the paintings that’s environment 10 and the moodlet wasn’t effected. It’s annoying because if any of the other moodlet s dissolve, the mood shifts to, “Fine,” when it should be, “Happy.” I hope they get this fixed.

This is actually by design, not a bug.
EA replaced the decorative moodlets with the last patch.
Maybe they wanted to implement the feedback of those players who repeatedly stated that the decorative moodlets in this game are far too overwhelming and do easily overpower negative emotions. The way it is described here is exactly the way the new moodlets are programmed. On the other hand, the old decorative moodlets can no longer be found in the tuning files, they have been deleted.
The new moodlets are called
buff_environment_BBGameplayEffects_BadEnvironmentLarge
buff_environment_BBGameplayEffects_BadEnvironmentMedium
buff_environment_BBGameplayEffects_BadEnvironmentSmall
buff_environment_BBGameplayEffects_GoodEnvironmentLarge
buff_environment_BBGameplayEffects_GoodEnvironmentMedium
buff_environment_BBGameplayEffects_GoodEnvironmentSmall
There are also extra moodlets for snobs and slobs.

@83bienchen if that's the case, not saying your wrong, then the Sim team needs to go back into decoration and change all the Environment 10 to Environment 1 or 2, because right now, its to confusing

I can certainly understand tuning things to make Beautifully Decorated harder to achieve. My concern is that it now impossible...
I tested again with a room with all the basics and roughly 240 stacked Knights; a ridiculous about of decor costing over 2 million Simoleons. Could not get above Nicely Decorated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- 5 years ago@83bienchen Been having this problem with a specific household. The moodlets just randomly pops up and only the females are getting it. Changed all the wallpapers to more expensive versions and the moodlets disappeared til they walked through the rooms the following morning.
Now all my paintings have vanished from the walls downstairs . All. Even the ones I got from the telescope. Upstairs is fine. This is very very weird.
