Ugh. That just means more pointless options that take forever, when really, I just want to get stuck into my game.
You have to buy a cabinet first to place a sinke, and the tables don't come with chairs.
I don't see how this is much different, and it hardly seems complicated.

That would be awesome! How about also buying your Sim a separate blanket and pillow to put on their bed. It could boost their mood if you buy them a good pillow and blanket.

In general I am not entirely happy how items and scores are linked. Obviously they can't fully simulate the fact that the aesthetics of an item are partially influenced by the overall design of the decor (ie. matches the other furniture and the style and layout of the home), but it's always annoying that you sometimes have to sacrifice scores to make a good matching decor. If they could give items variable scores and let us pay for the level we want, that'd be great.
it also seems like the top scored items trend toward classical or ultramodern styles. Good contemporary furniture always seems to be a bit below that, and while I won't say Ikea furniture is the prettiest around, simple designs like that fit into some houses better than sculpted wood everywhere, and actual comfort isn't at all a function of aesthetics.
