Lights, camera, action! Sara Conavius, housing designer and renovator extraordinaire, will be in town November 10 at 10am PST until 10am PST on November 17 to look for properties to feature in new episodes of her intergalactic hit holovision show, “Residential Renovation.” The self-proclaimed Genesis Prime of Home Improvement, Sara will help you make your home really pop for the cameras in the new “Neighborhoods of Nexus” edition of her Protostar Academy Award-eligible series.
 	  
Do your part to aid in the production of Sara’s broadcast by completing a series of home improvement tasks and she’ll reward you with Home Renovation Guides which you can turn in for the Exo-Lab and Shrine décor sets—two bundles of fantastic collectibles previously offered as part of the Sim Chase collection.
 	 
 
Filming for Residential Renovation will be ongoing for one week each month and feature three rotating reward sets. This is a fine opportunity for architects, landscapers, and interior designers alike to further inflate their prolific troves of decorative treasures!
 	 	 Anxious to get your paws on more renovation loot? Next up for the month of December is the Dungeon Chase collection.

Is there any way we could have an opportunity to buy the guides from the cash shop in bulk? I want so many of these animals and Eldan stuffs, but the store packs just don't appeal to me-- they don't have the items I actually want in good balance. The quests give a total of 75 guides per day, yet one item can cost as much as 40, and it's entirely possible someone could need many of that item to do something they want in a build. Consequently it can take a long while for someone to get only one of the many things they'd want.
 
he quests aren't super hard or anything but I think it'd be great to have an option to offset them with straight-up purchases. Helps builders who need a lot of specific decor, and helps you folks with some moneys. :D

Quick question: According to the tooltip the Shrine Builder's Pack, sold by the event vendor, contains the Datasphere decor item but it isn't available for sale as a single item. Is this intended or not?

Yea if the event was ongoing then I would be content to farm the quests and wait. But since it's once a month-- which can be a very long wait when you're working a project-- I would love to be able to dive in while I can. My ideal situation would be doing the quests for the animals since they're very cheap at 5 currency each (and thank you for that!), while spending real monies on all the Eldan decor I need.
 
In absence of that option, I will probably just do the quests for the animals. And that will still make me happy, but not *as* happy, since I won't get a lot of stuff I want and won't be financially supporting the game. :(  The packs seem like a pretty fair deal but it frequently comes around to the same problem... I don't need a lot of the stuff in a given pack, so it becomes a bad deal. The Lopp pack on the store is another great example of this, as I would love to get 15-20 of those lopp houses, but don't need the rest of the items at all. End result is I just won't buy em. >.<

Thank you very much for adding animal NPCs decor and not making them "special." I guess I have to build a farm now. :) Thank you for adding WB decor as well. Especially, the dreg pillar and tower. I haven't seen these items since summer 2016. I'm super happy that we can get them now.
