Like stalls, lofts can be remodeled via loft change vouchers sold at A Lofty Affair at Rumor Woods. In addition to pre-written room descriptions with six objects imbedded in the description, the individual scripted props can be independently customized via pre-written certificates. A node upgrade for the loft can also be added via certificate.

Example Upgrades

For additional examples, see those included in the Lofty Affair shop inventory. Available options may change between runs.
