I have a Large Naboo and it took 7 lots, someone is telling me now though that I'm full of it and that it's only 5 lots....

Can someone give me a number?

heh i thought it took 6 lots...

My large tatooine house was 6, so I got rid of it. 4 Extra lots and you don't get any extra storage? LOL Lame.

Ya, totally, that was the argument, I figured more than 3 was just pointless and lame... I want one but forget it, I just built a Medium.

Yeah you know, you could actually put up three mediums instead and have triple the storage as the large.

6 plots, and I would way rather have 3 meduim houses or hell 3 small houses then 1 large.

Really. Lot usage is totally screwy. All small houses are 2 lots, except for one small Naboo style, which is 1 lot. Why? No reason. All medium houses are 2 lots. Why not more than small? No reason. And then, all large houses are SIX lots. If small is 2 and medium is 2, why is a large suddenly SIX? No reason.

I have a suggestion. ALL small houses: ONE lot. ALL medium houses: TWO lots. ALL large houses: THREE lots. Simple, right? Fair, right? Therefore, probably never going to happen.

There are two types of people we are dealing with:

• Those who want houses simply for storage.


• Those who want houses for looks and roleplay.

All of the large houses I have sold have been to people that want it for looks and designs. People that do generally ask me to outfit the furniture for them and I dress up their houses very well.

As a general tip here is what the casual gamer (who wants to have a small but steady income) and wants the best of all worlds would need to do.

• Large House (6) - For Looks


• Medium House(2) - For Storage


• Harvester(1) - For Income


• Harvester (1) - For Income

On a side note, if I were going to put up any type of harvester as a casual player, I would place up either 2 Low-Grade Ore harvesters, 1 low-grade ore and 1 reactive gas harvester, or 2 reactive gas harvesters.

I hope that helps.

personally I am more peeved with the fact that generic housing costs more in resources to make than those naboo and tatooine houses but yet you get more style out of them than with a generic??

I mean a large naboo house is huge compared to a large generic.

And none of the generic houses have any outside balconies where even the mediums tatooine and naboo have outside viewpoints so you can admire the setting without being attacked by roaming mobs.

Houses and lots are all goofy. On Tatooine, most people seem to prefer the mediums over the larges because they look better. As far as lots go, a lot should always be one thing imo. A harvester is 1 lot, house 1 lot, PA hall, whatever. As it is now if you want to run your own business you need a 2 lot house and a 2 lot factory, leaving you with 6 lots for resource and energy. That doesnt leave an architect with a lot of things to build a day, unless they are outsourcing resource. Maybe there is a reason they made larges 6 lots, but right now it just looked like thats how they rolled the dice.
