As I understand it, most things in a room will count for environmental effects including the wall coverings and floors. Some existing things have changed values from what they were. So there will be some differences we all have to get used to.
Hope this helps.
@CGrant56 yes, that helps. so to be sure on this. any paintings, sculptures under the Decorations tab, says Environment 1-10 is not given perfect Values like they did before.
thank you
@LadyDarkSorrow Nicely Decorated (+1) is the highest I've been able to get since the June 3rd patch no matter how many paintings I've added to a room. The new setting in Game Options does not seem to matter whether I have it turned on or off. I'm still trying to figure out if there is some kind of trick to this whole thing.
@RandomBuzziness ya, I'm starting to wonder if this a bug. b/c I'm too having the same problem. I built a Mansion and focus on Environment and was getting Beautiful Decor (+3) after patch I can't get pass Nicely Decor (+1) felt like I wasted my time. if this is the new settings then everything in Decor tab is now useless for Environment Home/Mansion builds
@LadyDarkSorrow It might be a bug. Please check this Bug Report to see if any of this is happening in your game. The two issues might be related as different forms of a negative reaction to the immediate environment.
