Poorly decorated...?

Do they have the "snob" or "materialistic" trait? My materialistic sims do this a lot, especially the one that has materialistic and snob. It's annoying. She kept doing it until her roommates started painting masterpieces, and got rich enough to make the house real fancy. But then she got pregnant and moved in with her boyfriend, and started doing it again. Her boyfriend is making more money now, so her house is getting fancier, but she still complains (not as much as before though).

OTOH, my outgoing, clumsy, erratic guy is perfectly happy living in a tiny studio home with no wallpaper, flooring, or decorations.

There's a box in the gameplay settings you can toggle on/off pertaining to Sims getting moodlets from low/high environment scores. Hope this helps! :)

The only time I’ve had a snob Sim like the decor was when I had one living in Buckingham Palace, and he just thought it was acceptable. :lol:

@Tammors Hmm sounds like a good idea ? Snobs are so difficult but can be fun to play. It’s weird how they adjusted the snob trait to be a bit more annoying. What’s funny is she’s already rich but she feels uncomfortable in her lavish apartment! How much does this girl need? Haha!

Materialistic getting tense from not buying anything was enough for me, but now they just got a tad bit more going on now so I’m gonna be careful with those two traits. I like hooking my sims up to have kids! ?

Yeah, I like breeding my sims too, to see what the children of different combinations will turn out like. ;) My snob has two children with her boyfriend now, but she was cheating on him with my crazy redhead when she had the second. I was very tempted to have her second baby with the redhead, and see what her boyfriend does if the baby has red hair. Would a sim figure that out?

But now after having 2 kids with the same dad, she doesn't accept the redhead's advances anymore (and he doesn't accept hers either). Does having more than one child with a sim make them more loyal to their mate, or did they change the game mechanics to make characters less slutty ?

I do it on purpose by giving them art lover and snob traits, and then moving that Sim into a hovel. It worked out great with Nancy Landgraab--even though I didn't create her, I bulldozed her mansion and gave her a shack to live in, and she really hates it lol

@Tammors Yeah! She has the snob trait. I had no idea and thought it was new for all sims. That is really annoying still. I had no idea it was from those kinds of traits. Well, I’ll be careful not to use them as often as I used to.

Are there decorations or other items in the room that have Environment or Minor Environment Gain numbers? If not, consider adding a few. You don't have to change the whole build; just a couple of decorations should do the trick. I haven't noticed any difference with Snob or Materialistic traits.

You can fix it if you invest more into decorating, until she's satisfied. As I said, my materialistic snob did stop complaining when her roommates got rich and made their home real fancy, but started complaining again when she moved out and moved in with her boyfriend. But yeah, I haven't made any more snobs since I found out how annoying they are~ !

Here's an idea for you. Find her a rich sugar-daddy to seduce and marry, and then she can move into his house. Maybe I should do that with mine too. She cheats on her boyfriend anyway, and is mean to her boyfriend. Maybe do the black widow quest with her. ;)

BTW, my snob's boyfriend is also materialistic, and he complained a little too, but not as much as her. He's happy the way the house is now, but she's still not satisfied. I suppose putting materialistic and snob together was too much of a double whammy. lol (I think her other trait is mean.) This is probably why she had so much trouble getting a boyfriend!
