No pics; I’m a console player so that’s trickier for me. ? It’s nothing amazing, but it’s just more, ‘wow, this doesn’t offend my eyes!’ ☺️ It looks like what a real-life starter apartment for someone with a very limited budget but good taste might actually come up with. The color palette chosen, the lines of the furniture selected - it was done thoughtfully in a way that I can connect with.
It’s all individual perspective, but mine is I have a great deal of professional real-life interior design experience and doing a very small Sim space on a very tight starter-budget with only items from specific packs (for players who don’t have this add-on or that one) and making it look good is challenging, like painting but only being able to use five colors.
Usually, to my eye, the starter homes and apartments look dull and bland in addition to being bare-bones entry-level, and I begin new games with a lot of redecorating and recolonization - I decide the layout is weird or the placement of items is all wrong or the color palette used is not to my liking, or I enslave my poor Sim immediately to very quickly climb career ladder rungs for cash OR I resort to cash-cheating because if I’m going to play in the space I don’t want to hate looking at it for so long - but not this time! ? To just be able to start playing at once without having to ‘fix’ everything was really nice!
