Which household room light option do you mainly use?

I use both "auto" and "always on," depending on the household or gameplay style that I'm playing. For example, in a household that is eco-friendly, I use auto because it makes it seem like they are intentionally turning lights on and off in each room (no idea if it actually affects their power usage honestly). Sometimes I'll use "always on" for certain areas in the house just for my own ease.

I keep all the lights on when I just want to see everything all the time. Which is most of my saves!

and I always change them all to cool white to get rid of the yellow tinge. If I use candles I will most times set those to always-on after I set auto lights.

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.

Auto lights, mostly.

@joRN1414 I always change mine too, but I set them to neutral. I don't like the default yellow tinge either. It makes white objects look so dingy and blue objects look green. I also use a lot of windows and mostly the small, round overhead light in rooms, but I don't go overboard with them, just one in each room. The one exception is bedrooms, I like to put table lamps and candles in there for a softer light. Sometimes I'll even put wall lights behind paintings for an even softer effect.

I prefer auto lights but lately I've been leaving lights on to try to jack up the meager bills lol.

autolights mostly
but sometimes always on cause i forget or i have specific colored lights thing going on or whatever

I also mostly set the lights so it looks nice and moody at night instead of doing like whole ceiling light extravaganza so I just tend to use table,floor and wall lights instead
or like candle ones or antiqueish ones

brightly lit houses just don't feel natural to me because i was raised in "no lights on during daytime" household and well night time lights i prefer to have some moods and vibes instead of flat "this is very boring office" lights

Depends on the room. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and offices are set to auto lights. Rooms in the heart of the home that sims pass through all the time (kitchens and living rooms) are always on.

Auto-Lights, but I think I may try this set up out by @So_Money ☝?

The reason I set it up that way is because it’s silly for sims to switch the lights on and off every time they pass through the living room or kitchen, which is more or less constantly if your house has any sort of open plan.

In real life, I don't use lights during the day, and only use them in the particular room I am in at night. In game, though, I am a full-on wastrel! I keep every single light on all the time, and I use super bright lights so everything is really illuminated. I do sometimes change the light colors, but usually to something weird like bright pink or bright green.

I have auto lights on all the rooms but some rooms I will maybe keep a table lamp switched on.
