When a client complains about living in squalor, it's usually necessities that are missing such as beds, showers, refrigerators and so on. I've managed to account what they need to live:
- Refrigerator**
- Stove**
- Beds => number of Sims in household*
- Bath/Shower****
- Toilet***
*Where beds are involved, they have to account for the life stage of the Sims. For example, 6 beds will not support 2 adults, a child and 3 toddlers; even though this may be accepted, three of those beds will need to be replaced with cribs. Likewise, a bed and two cribs will not support 2 adults, a teenager and a toddler; double beds will support a married couple, but not siblings.
**A Food Synthesizer is not recognized by clients as a refrigerator/stove.
***An All-In-One Bathroom (regardless of EP) is not recognized as a toilet.
****A Sonic Shower is not recognized as a shower.
