Decoration: Difference between revisions

{{Cleanup}}'''Decorations''' (also known as '''clutter items''' or '''deco''') are a category of items that a player can use in [[buy mode]] to decorate a [[residential lot|residential]] or [[community lot]], or a [[neighborhood]]/[[world]]. Depending on the [[content pack]]s a player owns, the category may include, but is not limited to, rugs, house plants, posters, paintings, sculptures and statues.

Most of these objects improve the [[environment]] in varying degrees; more expensive items usually have a higher rating. In addition, some decorative objects have useful functions. For example, the scarecrow in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'' can deter [[Gardening#The Sims|garden]] pests, and the lightning rod in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' reduces the chance that objects (and Sims) on a lot will be struck by [[lightning]]. Most decorative objects, however, cannot be interacted with other than simply being viewed by Sims. Since [[The Sims 2]], indoor plants cannot wither and die, therefor watering interaction isn't present. [[Mirror]]s also offer different interactions, especially in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and later games.

Decoration are divided into six categories in the Buy mode catalog ('''Plants''', '''Sculptures''', '''Wall hangings''', '''Mirrows''', ''Curtains'' and '''Rugs''') along with the additional one known as "Miscellaneous". The misc. section provides a variety of clutter recreational supplies{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}{{Vgversion|TS2:AL}}, wall ornaments{{Vgversion|TS2:AL}}, pipes, ventilation pieces, signs for commercial lots or streets, ceiling-hung objects, household supplies and many more. Certain objects may also special feature or otherwise functional ([[aquarium]]s, a radiator that emits heat, a [[fire jet]], the [[grandfather clock]], etc.)

Plants come in many forms of placement: on surface, floor, wall or ceiling hanged. Sculpture group includes various structures and sculpture, from table ornaments to enormous figures.
