Room Ratings

[Oldwizzard]

I am currently questioning if this is on purpose or not, i am renovating new floors and I have multiple rooms where using only max starts ratings items only raises the room rating to 4.8 or 4.7. I have other rooms where i use the exact items and i reach ratings of 5 before i add last required items in a room.

Anyone else has this? is this a bug or intended ?

I'm iin the exact same position! I get 5 star sin the 1st floor rooms but 4. stars in the 2nd floor rooms when i use highest rating items.

Hey! You most probably have lower-ranked items in those rooms that bring the total down.

I have the exact same issue, using only 4 stars items in 2 different rooms, one has only the required items and is 4 stars while the other only reaches 3.7 no matter how many other 4 stars items I add in it on top of the required ones.

Its best to gut the rooms of all furniture/lights/bathroom fixtures and start over from that point when you redo them, walls/floor/cieling/curtains should be fine

yes that's what I did like with every other room in the hotel. I tear down every single thing even the window frames and redo it. I use the same quality items in 2 rooms on the second floor, not the same furniture set but the same number of purple "points" and one gets to 4 starts (room 201) and the other (room 204) stays at 3.7 no matter what I do.

This happened on sandbox by the way I've done the rooms up to level 4 in storymode without any issue. In fact I've furnished the whole 13 rooms in storymode to the exact number I wanted in storymode without ever having an issue so I know what to do to get the level of room I want.

its not only important to use the same "star quality" items but also the same name of furniture sets - like Dalia, Kanton, Hanoi etc. If just one item is wrong you don't get the 5 stars

I've used mixed sets often beacause some furniture in certain sets is so big it doesn't fit the smaller rooms and never had an issue with having max stars as long as all furniture is of the same quality, I also always use the most expensive lamps and paintings.
In story mode and sandbox in other rooms I know for certain I mixed and matched without any issue. I know because I hate not matching the whole set so I griped a lot about having to use some pieces from other sets, not something I'll forget.

I'll still give a try to remake the room that's "bugged" with only 1 furniture set just to be 100% sure.

So I went in the room (204), and made sure absolutely every single piece of furniture was part of the same set and absolutely nothing changed, rating is still 3.7 in that room.
The issue wasn't the mismatched furniture. I also double checked that all the furniture/rugs and any other item that has a "quality level" was a 4 and didn't find a single one that was lower so it's not the issue either.

In story mode I managed to have that room at 4 stars without any issue so there shouldn't be any reason why I can't in sandbox.

Hi As I just posted above I went back in the room and double checked every single item that has a quality level and they were all 4 but the room doesn't rise above 3.7
I also made sure that all the lamps/paintings and items that have no rating were the most expensive ones and even added extra level 4 furniture and expensive items with no change in the room overall rating.

I did this in room 204 in sandbox. The same room in storymode I managed to have in 4 and later 5 stars without any issue whatsoever.

Either that, cobwebs or undestructed old tiles.

I went around all the rooms and couldn't figure it out until I saw a cobweb in the corner of the room. I got rid of them and the room rating went up to the same as what star furniture was in there.
