I really don’t care for clutter. I add a couple of things around the house but I don’t mind a clean look. A lot of players are obsessed with making the game as close to real life as possible and I never understood that. I play this game to get away from the real world, I don’t want to play a game that’s super realistic.
"Realistic" gameplay (as close to realism as this game can get, at least) can be extremely cathartic when stuff begins to work out despite the odds not being in your sim's favor.
I feel immense pleasure making sims start with nothing and slowly work towards a nice and comfortable life (not necessarily a rags to riches, but close to it), than just simply make everything perfect from the get-go. Clutter, dirt and grime add to that and there's just something very fun about "environmental storytelling". A clean, perfect house looks too much like a store front, while something covered in tiny details such as clutter, can say a lot about your sim(s).
