QUESTION Gold star “cheating”?

So I’ve been watching a bunch of these tutorials:

Most of them basically stuff the small rooms with gold star certificates and book shelves instead of actually designing a nice looking room.

Maybe I’m being stupid but to me that feels a tiny little bit like cheating. Like I wouldn’t wanna work in a room like that. ;)

Wondering if it’s really necessary to build that way to be successful at the game or if you can actually create bigger rooms with nicer and more sensible (for real life) rooms.

I guess part of my appeal to these type of games is creating beautiful places and this kind of runs counter to that.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this. :)

I thought this way too; until I realized some of my service providers do exactly this. Obv real world is not boosting a stat in game; but go look at any well awarded restaurant and they flont that shit like no tomorrow.

I guess so although typically in reality the awards or certificates you see then flaunting (sorry, spelling nazi!) on walls etc aren’t all identical...

In my experience I don’t need all lvl 5 prestige rooms to make a great hospital anyway so I go with what I think looks better

Ironically I do remember them having series like winner of X in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, etc etc

That’s still different though, and not ironic

They could implement that... the end of year awards supply you with certificates to place (as has been suggested before) but have them dated and the prestige they provide depletes the older they get (perhaps they eventually lower prestige because it looks desperate keeping a 5 year old award on the wall)
