Renovation mode

Renovation Mode is a new type of mode that is found in The Sims 3: Ambitions. It is a mixture of build mode and buy mode. The mode is only available to Sims in the Architectural Designer career.

About
Renovation Mode is only avaliable to sims in the Architectural Designer career. It is similiar to the build mode and buy mode in the Sims 3. While in this mode you can see a list of requirements for the current renovation, if the requirements are not met, the job will count as failed. The player has a budget given at the beginning of the job, although they can overspend on their budget.

Detailed Description
To activate this mode, players must first get work opportunities based on the story progression feature, for example if a pair of Sims in the neighborhood have had a baby they may request a nursery, or a sim with the Bookworm trait may request a reading room. Each job is given a budget, and it will be changed depending on what you buy and sell (it is possible to sell items you did not buy). Client sims will review the work, and based on how good it is, will pay the architect money, with a chance of a bonus.
