Several packs missing furniture style tags

While checking out the new Dream Home Decorator pack I became curious about what the different furniture styles looked like and discovered that several packs have no (or very few) furniture items with tagged styles. Some packs seem to be missing tags due to it having been forgotten (maybe the older ones are from before furniture styles were introduced?), while other packs seem like they might not have been tagged due to missing suitable furniture style tags. 

The Packs I have found to be missing furniture style tags in buy mode by checking off all styles in the filter and then going through the packs I have one-by-one (I don't have luxury party stuff, perfect patio stuff and the kits)

Stuff packs:

paranormal
nifty knitting
spooky stuff
cool kitchen

Game Packs:
parenthood (only 2 tagged items)
spa day
outdoor retreat

Expansion Packs:

snowy escape (only space heater tagged)
city living (only 12 tagged items, 6 of them paintings)
get to work (only 1 tagged item)

I don't think every item in the game needs to be tagged, when playing with the new home decorator job it would be nice to have a greater selection of items to choose from when furnishing according to a style (there are clearly some packs with items that fit into a style but aren't tagged). With most of City Living, Spa Day and Snowy Escape missing furniture tags it seems we might also be in need for some new tags for Asian furniture styles, similar to how there is already an "Island" style. I'm currently playing in the Mt. Komorebi world, yet can't have my proper sim like the traditional Japanese furniture style of their home.

While the style tags weren't especially important before, now that they have become an essential part of the DHD gameplay. It would be nice if someone went through them more thoroughly and at least included the furniture of some more packs.

    @OrganizationZero , there is also the fact that some of the styles are mislabeled.😥  For example while it does make some sense for the Vampires Game Pack items to be labeled as Queen Anne , it also should be in the Gothic section!  That is what most people think of when they think of the Vampires décor!😅 However, the problem might be that the Gothic section is actually called Gothic Farmhouse (a term I've never heard of in decorating!) . But when I click on Gothic Farmhouse most of the items I get are from the Realm of Magic pack which aren't' Gothic at all , but instead are Art Nouveau (which is a real category but not in the game! 🤦‍♀️🤭 )

    Perhaps you might think that the labeling of the Vampires décor only being in the Queen Anne section might be due to items not being tagged in 2 different styles, but that isn't so!  Some items are in both the Mid Century section and the Cosmolux section!  Also, some items that should be in the Mid Century are not tagged as such!  🤭  All of this makes finding the appropreate furniture much more difficult! 

    And I also noticed about the missing Parenthood items when looking for that packs wall textures for a gig I was doing !  I would also think they would have at least tagged more recent packs like Paranormal , Snowy Escape, and Nifty Knitting! ☹️  Those items would have been the most likely to have been fresh in their minds! 🤷‍♀️🤔

    Yeah they apparently didn't add Knitting as a preference which means the Knifty Knitting stuff isn't tagged for that hobby either

    @xena311 that is a shame since there are a lot of cute items in that pack! 😥 I also find it strange that they missed classifying a more recent pack.  Perhaps it is due to that pack having a large amount of items that are unlocked through gameplay. 🤔
