Room Mood is lower than normal when outdoors

This may be a problem indoors as well, but it is very clear for outdoor situations. I noticed that my sims room bar was often completely red the moment they stepped outside, so I used the tutorial house to experiment. The house is exactly the same between both versions, but you can see the Room is much lower in the new release. It doesn't help that without the No Pets sign, animals show up and constantly pee outside plummeting the room score significantly further.

Is this affecting everyone?
