President Simulator Oval Office Restoration: How to Clean Up

President Simulator Oval Office restoration unlocks renovation tools like the paint roller by hitting key popularity milestones and clearing objectives inside the computer missions app. When you assume the presidency in the Windows Early Access release developed by Studio 14b, your administration inherits a dilapidated workplace filled with spiderwebs, cracked walls, and boarded windows left behind by the prior administration.

How Do You Unlock Oval Office Renovation Tools?

Renovation gear is an earned reward tied directly to administrative progress. In the official Steam forum thread discussing paint, developer Guillaume Studio 14b confirmed the required path:

"Hey, you have to earn them by achieving missions in the missions and indicators app on the computer, or by reaching popularity milestones" — Guillaume Studio 14b

New presidents cannot immediately clean up the clutter upon taking office. At 9:00 AM on day one, your desk chair and computer terminal serve as your main tools to review tasks. Opening the missions and indicators app displays specific decree objectives, while tracking your rise above your starting 0% approval rating unlocks tools that let you address room damage.

What Causes the Oval Office to Start in Ruins?

The Oval Office is a neglected command center reflecting your accidental election to power. When your character arrives, the workplace contains cracked plaster, cobwebs draped across furniture, dusty portrait frames showing stock flower art, and wooden planks nailed over window frames.

Restoring the space requires advancing the political calendar rather than immediate manual cleaning. Your daily loop runs from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM:

  1. Sit at the primary desk and inspect the daily decree pile.
  2. Sign legislation with the pen and choose whether to stamp decrees with green approval or red denial.
  3. Carry signed papers into the adjoining office and drop them inside the advisor tray.
  4. Access the desktop computer to track validations, review mission indicators, and monitor approval shifts.
  5. Exit the office after 9:00 PM when secretaries sleep to complete the shift and bank results toward upgrade goals.

Renovation and Administration Decision Paths

Every administrative strategy trades immediate cash for rating growth, affecting how quickly you expand presidential authority.

Administrative focusIdeal operational situationOperational cost
Popularity milestone rushPushing approval ratings to unlock the paint roller and office upgradesRejecting lucrative bills that inflict heavy cultural or judicial stat penalties
Computer mission completionClearing target decrees listed in the indicators applicationPassing eccentric bills that increase thematic instability across state metrics
Cash accumulation priorityBanking money to purchase administrative staff upgradesLowering net approval growth when high-paying commercial laws fail passage votes

Progressing through the rating tiers unlocks new room interactions and support personnel. At the 2% popularity mark, purchasing staff upgrades lets your assistant walk over to retrieve signed paperwork directly from your desk. Raising your standing further activates the press podium for live press conferences, where successful appearances generate additional approval momentum to restore the executive mansion.
