Do you enjoy clutter?

I hate clutter. I don't understand why the majority of popular builders feel the need to clutter every inch of space with stuff, it makes a build completely unplayable to me. Just feels like very much a style > functionality thing and I'd rather have houses that play well then houses that look pretty in screenshots.

Whenever I download a gallery build nowadays I have to delete like half of the stuff, all the columns, replace the giant lights with tiny ones, get rid of any giant mirrors or bookcases obstructing the build, get rid of the 50 items that are just levitating in thin air from most rotations as they've been alt placed on shelves, etc etc. Very few popular builders focus on functionality and it's a shame.

I wasn't sure how to answer this. I enjoy it when my Sims create their own clutter with objects that are meaningful to them. I enjoy appreciating Gallery builds that use clutter, except for 50x50 lots with tons of clutter, because those slow my game down. But in general, I prefer downloading builds with just a few well placed items of clutter, like a toothbrush on the sink and a potted plant on the bookcase. I don't enjoy builds that have so much clutter that you can't actually play in them.

Editing builds with too much clutter and MOO is a bit of a nightmare. Live mode can get really laggy on a large cluttered lot. Routing issues start to happen more frequently.

I like the clutter for looks and things like screenshots/sets. It can give a lot of life to the lot and make it looked lived in while also giving a sense of what type of sim might be living there. For regular, every day game play though, I don't use a lot of it and when I use more than my average in a build, I always make sure I play test before I put it into my main save or upload to the gallery.

I rarely use much clutter - it causes issues usually, especially if using MOO. I especially avoid shelves with stuff on them because with walls down, it often looks like stuff is floating. I prefer sims houses to be functional and I also don't like when they get overwhelmed with happy moodlets due to so much décor. I love a lot of the builds on the gallery, but I stopped using them for the most part because they use MOO and have way too much stuff that causes issues or blocks my view. I am not a great builder, but my houses do function! About the only time I use much clutter is if I want to be sure a coffee table or desk does not have any usable slots left for sims to put all their dishes on!

I like clutter, it adds a certain atmosphere to a home. I only very rarely build with moo, because it'll lead to too much clutter and therefore lag. But not using clutter at all makes homes look super empty, so I go for the middle ground.
I'm okay with the amount we have in game, though it can be hard to navigate in the catalogue. But I don't really want the same things in every home, so I like the variety.
When I actually play in live mode (and not build something for the gallery) I prefer a sparsely decorated starter home with good appliances and the necessary skill objects. I play with walls down, so I only see clutter that is attached to floor based objects anyway.

I love clutter items they just make my sims houses feel more like homes and I definitely could not build if i had none of that + i still need more especially things like decorative pillows or more wall details would be so awesome to have

but i also think that lot of decorative items should just be gameplay items tbh like the cabinets and boxes and whatever should work as different storage options and every book clutter should be bookcase (cause they just did some of them last time)
and plants well i would like to have to water them like ts2 it just felt more real and tea set should actually work as teamaker and... you know if its not only decorative in real life im sure they could just make it have function too

I'm a bit conflicted on this one.

First, I don't feel we have enough clutter, especially single slot clutter, and I do like to use it in builds. But I also dislike playing in overly cluttered houses were sims can't get to certain things because of it.

Wasn't sure how to answer this one, really.

When I'm building for upload to the Gallery, I put in very little decoration. I furnish them so a new family can move right in, not like they have lived there many years. When someone buys a new house, its not chock full of stuff, not even furniture or appliances.

If I build for my sims to live there, they have what they need to take care of themselves, and of course objects for skills. The house will be decorated as time passes by, with paintings and other small objects. I use alt-placement instead of MOO, which will let me place things more freely, but still with limitations. Mostly for garden plants and decoration.

I avoid houses on the Gallery that are decked out in clutter, or builders that use MOO. I end up deleting most of the stuff and re-arranging furniture/rooms, and that takes more time than looking for/building a new house.

I'm somewhere in between on this. I don't like overly cluttered builds. More recently, I have been incorporating more clutter in my houses but I want to add that for my sims.

I prefer functional items over non-functional ones but I incorporate a small amount of clutter into most houses.

I avoid most gallery downloads now because of the lack of playtesting and excessive clutter. If I'm downloading, I'd rather almost have a shell to fill in. Replacing clutter and personalizing is something I do when I add a downloaded lot which is less often now.

I never have enough!! It makes builds looks lived in. But I can’t use too much of it because it makes the game laggy :(
And when I make a build to share on the Gallery I make sure it’s not too cluttered, (and I play test them, unless I forget).
