Culture Improvements

Decouple culture generation from reputation. Dont make it a popularity contest. Generate it from the number of unique users that have interacted with it ie spent time standing in front of it (admiring it). The items culture value should affect its room requirements (volume) as a way to make rooms look more appealing rather than walls being plastered with picture after picture Also dont think it should just be artwork, sculptures should be included but that might require some amendments to the skills/recipes.

We do intend to add a lot of other options to generate culture, mostly they will require player interaction. We have decided on purpose to use the reputation system for culture generation for pictures, as that gives reputation a deeper use and fits within the idea of the system. Please note that while we do not intend to implement this change and it hence being marked as closed, you can still continue to vote on it. We may reconsider suggestions that were closed if they gain a lot of traction. Assigning this status mainly has the reason to give a feedback from our side and to keep the suggestion list clean and with good overview.

I'd like to see a lot more ways to create culture - like creating decorative outdoor sculptures and assigning their land plot as "Culture" and increasing the amount of culture by the material tier and how near it is to residences and how much traffic passes by. Also - beautifying roads and other public spaces with planted decorative trees and flowers, sculptures, etc. Maybe create a "Beauty" score the way that some of the Sim games do - increasing when there are public parks and other things nearby.

I actually like reputation being used to boost culture. It gives reputation system some meaning. I never used to bother giving rep before: now I am maxing out daily rep regularly.
