Sale purchase advice

I'm thinking of getting the Home Decorator pack but the reason I haven't bought it yet is that I don't like the favourite furniture feature with it and how, as I've read, the sims will react to the furnishing of homes. Is this how it works? Is there any way to turn that off?

I want to be able to build homes the way I like without having to worry about what sims think about the furnishing. My understanding is that it even works that way for sims visiting other sims that has furniture they don't like?

  • I've had the pack for half a year, but haven't been deeply affected by the furtinure system, I hardly notice it. You don't have to give favourite furniture to your played sims, they use the likes/dislikes system (except you'll get no pop ups either). I have maybe one or two sims who have furniture favourites/dislikes and sometimes they go that style furniture to express their opinion. I haven't had sims wake up in the middle of the night or anything like some early reports said. Some townies may have furniture favourites, but I haven't found it distracting. Now that I'm writing this once in a while I do have sims walking into my home uninvited, but I'm not sure if it's related to furniture likes or something else completely, just came to my mind now and started wondering.
  • Thanks! Well that does not sound too bad.

    So you're saying the furniture works like the favourite colours and you won't get pop-ups for it like you do with music for example and it won't be randomised to my own played sims, only unplayed/ townies?
  • More or less. I know there are supposed to be animations for admiring decor, but I consistently give my Sims favorite decor and rarely see it. Just don't give them any. I have never had a pop up asking if they like specific furniture.

    My houses are usually full of other things to do, though. Usually I see the most aberrant and annoying behavior (like the Bust the Dust sniff) in lots that have little to do. (So my off the grid stuff, basically.)

    I wouldn't feel comfortable saying you will never see anything, but if you do it is certainly negligible or it would be more notorious like the aforementioned sniff.
  • I think as long as you don't add any furniture likes your sims will not react at all to furniture?
    Maybe someone can confirm because I'm a mod user so I can't say 100% but my sim has never reacted and I never assigned any decor likes.
