How do we know which ID is our Cheap Chair? As I explained early on, Maxis rates their chairs from 0 to 3, with zero being the cheapest chair. Since our chair IS the cheapest there is, then our line to modify will be ID 0. As you can see, it has ZERO room impact score. Because it's cheap. The most expensive chair has a room impact score of 25, so in the catalog it'll display as Room +2.

Our chair is going to be a lot better than that, by golly. Let's be totally crazy and type in a ridiculous number. Select ID 0 (the first line), and then down at the bottom in the Value box, enter the number 100.
