Facility Decor & Theme System (Aesthetics and Mood)

[adam4813]

Add a system to allow players to choose or change the decor/theme of each facility, affecting aesthetics, mood, and visitor satisfaction. Decor choices are cozy, non-punitive, and purely additive—players can make spaces more beautiful, fun, or relaxing. The feature integrates into the Facility Info window, with a dropdown or list to select decor/theme options.

Feature Summary

• Each facility offers several decor/theme options (e.g. Modern, Classic, Nature, Festive, Minimalist).
• Theme choice affects visual appearance and may provide small satisfaction or revenue bonuses (e.g. Nature theme boosts relaxation, Festive theme increases spending during holidays).
• Decor/theme is visible to visitors/tenants and is shown in Facility Info window.
• Players can change themes at any time without penalty.

Minimal UI Work Required

• Add decor/theme selector to Facility Info window (dropdown or list).
• Show current theme and its effects in the same window.
• Notifications use existing system ("Cafe switched to Festive theme!").

Gameplay Impact

• Enhances player creativity, self-expression, and spatial storytelling.
• Encourages seasonal or event-driven play (players can change themes for holidays).

Cozy Alignment

• No penalties for changing decor/theme; everything is about creative, positive vibes.
• Decor increases joy and connection, never restricts or punishes.
