Hi all,
So I'm not exactly a fan of the HHA. In fact, I think it's one of the worst in game functions of all time. In my opinion it's a huge barrier to player creativity when it comes to decorating a house since the HHA idea of good decorating is putting an entire furniture set in each room. I totally understand this, because I used to do it! There are so many good furniture series and I love seeing them all together in a room with their wallpaper and carpet, and maybe a few random cute items to fill in space or finish it off.
However, I started visiting other towns and seeing how they created themed houses, which I just loved so much more! So I sacrificed my perfect HHA score for a bathroom and a library and a hobby room, and I think my house looked great... but I scored a lowly 62,000 points with the HHA, and my house is fully upgraded (the target score for a house my size is 100,000-150,000 points)!
I didn't really care much for the HHA, but I started looking at the rules and requirements online to see if I could boost my score. I care a lot about my houses and it would be really great to see that reflected in my HHA score. So I started paying attention to theme and colour, and lo, after only a week of moving things around, my score is 77,000 points! Much lower than I think I deserve but certainly not bad, all things considered.
What about you? Do you care about the HHA? What did you do in your house to try and increase your score?
