Do you prefer homes with clutter or without?

When my Sims start out they're usually in a cube with plain walls, one bed, a shower, and a fridge (or the cooler). I don't normally decorate with clutter items until I have enough money to build a proper bedroom/kitchen/bathroom. Then I add some basic clutter, the roll of TP, an (unused) laundry basket in the bathroom, the decorative lemons in the kitchen, 1 wall decoration in each room. Not a lot. Eventually I build up to having 1-2 super expensive items/clutter objects in each room to give the Sim a "well decorated" moodlet. Usually when I consider their dream house to be 'done'.

Though I just got Parenthood so their home is VERY cluttered with toys and projects and items for that. It does make a change for me and I don't mind that playstyle either!

If I download a finished house from the gallery (some houses I can desig myselfn, some I can't do well, like Art Deco or Modern), I don't prefer an item on every single available slot/surface of the house. When every console table has 3 or more items on it, and every side table has an item, and every shelf has multiple items... Then my sim gets something from their career/brings a project home and I can't place it anywhere... I can't cope lol.

I'll put things like toothbrushes in the bathroom, things like that, but some houses look like a hoarder lives there.

It depends on what I am going for; but I like to keep the clutter down to a minimal amount. Even i real life, if it is in the way, can't use it or doesn't look nice; I don't want it and tend to go with that when creating houses for my sims.

Some clutter is nice but sometimes, in some places I have downloaded, the routing takes too long.
Then there is the MOO cheat, which drives me crazy, if you want to rearrange items.

I love lots of clutter. It makes it very homey. In traditional and suburban houses, the more clutter the better. I go for a Weasley Burrow-esque vibe with lots of clutter when it comes to those types of houses. However, If its a modern house, I don't like any clutter that doesn't suit the theme or colors of the house.

For me honestly, it depends on the overall character of the sim inhabiting it.

I usually don't put alot of small details like toiletpaper in the bathroom and so on, because it will be too much for me. And sometimes I feel like the stuff is in the way, + IRL is so messy, so I kinda want to have a place where it can be sort of order like I wish it was here :D

It can more realistic. I also according to sims traits/ careers to putting clutter, such as lazy sims' sundries heap, self assured sims' perfumes.

How much depends on my sim’s personality, but I like a little clutter in all my homes to make them feel lived in. I have to have tp in the bathrooms even though sims can’t use it. I also like to have tissue boxes around the house, soap dispensers and toothbrush holders in my bathrooms, and makeup trays, perfume and nail polish for my female sims. For some kids and teens, I add the book bag floor clutter and pile of clothes clutter, but I don’t add it for my neater kids.

My houses have to have character and personality . I like to display art , trophys, collectables etc...that my sims have acquired during their lifetime.
