Living Room wont switch to Family Room

[King DaMuncha]

I've put in all the required decorations but I the game wont recognise this as a Family Room.

In fact non of the rooms are what theyre supposed to be. Living room wont swap to Home Theatre when I put speakers in. Bedroom wont change to childrens room no matter how many toys I add, Kitchen wont switch to Large kitchen no matter how big I make it. And the game thinks my stair well is a office.

There are a few possible reasons for rooms not changing types in expected ways.

If you're using items from the workshop, they may not be categorised to change room types, or register in the game as certain types of item. Creators can choose what tags to apply to their items.

There are also a few non-Workshop game items that don't register in the game as the type of item they are.

Finally, sometimes there's a balance between two room types and you need to add more of a certain type of item to tip that balance.

For this particular room... I'd suggest first changing the TV set to one of the ones from the Electrical section, in case it's not registering as a TV (it's from the Halloween special items rather than the Electrical section and there have been other special items that didn't register for things like this before). If that doesn't work, it could be a balance issue. The armchairs and fireplace might be pushing the balance more into living room territory. Another toy or two should work if that's the issue.

I just discovered in a new house that a family room requires a cabinet / chest of drawers and a bookcase.

The full list of room requirements (unless it's recently changed) is:

Family Room:

• Sofa
  
• Coffee Table
  
• TV
  
• Carpet
  
• Toy
  
• Bookcase OR Picture
  
• Kitchen Cupboard OR TV Cabinet

TV cabinets did not set it off. When I added a chest of drawers or a shoe cabinet it switched.

That's odd. It could have changed at some point.

I tested it by moving things in and out of the room. The tall shoe cabinet (the short shoe cabinet did not set it off), a chest of drawers, and the fancy looking drawers/cabinet set it off.
