Which household room light option do you mainly use?

Heh. I am the opposite. I find most houses from the gallery are way too sharply lit. I prefer to have spotted table lights and then floor lamps with a soft glow, so very shadowy rooms with interesting light / dark differences.

I tried that but everything seems just too underlit. You do have a point though, so I'm going to try it. I tend to use a lot of windows too, and that provides some of the same effects in rooms my Sim isn't in. lol.

Part of it, unfortunately, seems to be a graphic card / screen issue; I remember already back in 2014 when people universally yelled at the devs because everything was too dark and I had no issues. I suspect that's because I had (for the time) an high end gaming laptop that could properly render soft lights so it actually made a difference. Proper lighting effects is one of those things that actually take more out of a computer than you think it does.

Another thing is to remember that even if you use spotted lights and soft lights, to pretend it's you living there. Hence yes, a reading spotlight by a couch might have a small spread, but should be very bright over the actual couch. And so on.
