During this, my Sim gets a text from Dina Caliente: 'I hope your day is as terrible as your so-called design sense.'

I call them back in and promptly watch as they groan and 'yuck' at everything I've put in the space, and cringe as I see the results screen: no money, even less reputation. I spend around 30 minutes perfecting the space, subbing out the red for green and the brick for concrete. I send the family away, take some quick pictures, and decide to turn their main floor into a hyper contemporary space with some dashes of plant life. The Partihaus people tell me they don't like garden décor, pianos (which are nowhere in sight) and the color red - which is everywhere. The next house I head to belongs to the Partihaus crew, a group of Berlin-adjacent young people whose place looks like a frat boy won a $10,000 Bed Bath and Beyond gift certificate. 'I have good taste!' I insist to my monitor. Heading home slightly dejected, I instruct Simlyssa to go to bed and immediately choose another home decorating gig.

I decide to quickly leave the Caliente home after receiving a horrible verdict, no money, and a severe blow to my reputation, just as the matron of the household storms out of her new living room to stress eat from the refrigerator.
