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?

as other people have said, it's pretty restricting - I prefer to design my characters' houses in accordance to my own preferences!
