Includes one new NPC who offers a quest. He's voiced mostly with spliced vanilla dialogue, save for three lines which are subtitles only. If you don't use Fuz Ro D'oh, those three lines are under the spoiler at the bottom of this page. Please note that the dungeon quest item (journal) can be dropped, so just don't lose it before reading it if you want to go on the dungeon quest. If you want to discard the quest, just drop the journal in the trashcan, and that will fail the quest.

There are seven areas to renovate and you don't have to do them in any particular order. You'll be able to move your family in once you're renovated the bedrooms, kitchen, and sitting room.
