I have been currently using a Small Generic house for my droid shop. Unfortunately I'm quickly running out of room. Can someone point me in the right direction about what style house to purchase?

I am on Tatooine, and I have 2 neighbors that have Medium Tatooine houses. I want something that looks different so my shop will stand out more. I'm also selling droids, so I want something that looks more modern and "futuristic" than the Tatooine house. I don't like the roundish rooms of the small corellian houses. I'd love to have a balcony and a basement...

Now as an architect, please tell me what style mediumhouse you think is best for me? In other words, sell me a house!

Unfortunately you don't have a lot of options. As you are on Tatooine, your only housing options for a medium sized house are:

Medium Tatooine

Medium Generic

You obviously are aware of the look and feel of the Medium Tatooines. The Medium Generics are basically the same layout as your current small generic, just double the number of rooms. So if you hate the "roundish" rooms you may be out of luck.

Your best bet for a larger place that is differentiated from the otherhouses around you, somewhat futuristic looking and reasonably niceis a Large Generic house. It has two separate wings, including a large, open "living room" style space. However, it does not have a balcony or a basement (although it has plently of small, out of the way back rooms).

Your only option, balcony-wise, is the Tatooine large house (unless the medium also has a balcony, I can't remember), unless you relocate to Naboo. Corellian houses don't have balconies.

I can't sell you a houses because I'm on Lowca, but that is the information I have.

I have not heard that any of the planet specific houses work anywhere but the target planet. You may be looking at a large generic house, which I thought looked somewhat like a Corellian house.

Generic houses and Corellian houses look almost identical. If someone is telling you that you can put a Corellian house on Tattooine then they are scamming you. I had a Medium Generic in Beta and it was about 1% (yes, 1%) bigger than the Small Generic. It added a hallway and that was it. I really hated the thing once I saw the other Medium houses (Medium Naboo is huge and I have heard the Medium Tattooine is also pretty big).

Aerofool,

I'm an architect and you can choose not to believe me if you want, but don't say I didn't warn you. Saying"as far as you know" isn't exactlyreal knowledge. I know from personal experience that you CANNOT placeplanet specific houses anywhere but on the planet forwhich they are designed. I have built a naboo house and tried to put it on Rori. I have built a Corellia house and tried to place it it on naboo. I personally like Tatooine houses, but I'm based on Corellia and Naboo, and I cannot place those house styles there. Believe me when Itell you that you cannot transplant planet specific houses around, it will tell you that you cannot place your house.

TatooinehousescanONLY go onTatooine.

Corellian houses can ONLY go on Corellia.

Naboo houses canONLY go onNaboo.

Generichouses cango anywhere.

Anyone trying to sell you a Corellian style Med house for Tatooine is either lying to you, scamming you, or simply ignorant. Your statement that "someone has one just 500m from my own house" is incorrect. The Generic style houses look VERY similiar to Corellian style houses. With the exception of a few styles of small houses, it is difficult to tell them apart. How do you know it is a Corellian style house? Did someone tell you (they were confused, or lying)? Does it look like the houses you have seen on Corellia (they look the same!). I know you cannot access the terminal inside the house, so you really can't read what that says (which wouldtell you). Did the person selling you the Corellian house tell you that the house he was selling you was exactly like that house (again, lying or misleading information)? If you don't want to listen to me then that is fine, however, I'm not trying to sell you anything. I'mjust giving youthe information you requested and I have no motive to tell you incorrect information.

You'llregret buying a Corellian house if you intend on staying on Tatooine. Don't say I didn't tell you so.

I have someone trying to sell me a medium Corellian right now. As far as I know, it is possible to put a Corellian house on Tatooine, cause someone has one just 500m from my own house.

What I do know is I don't have but 3 lots, so Large is out of the question. I need room for at least 70, possibly 80 items and I want to be different from every other house in the neighborhood.

Thanks for taking time to answer some of my questions. If anyone else has ideas and suggestions I'm welcome to hear them!

Maybe it was a bug that existed at one time.

Mocras, a small generic house looks nothing like a small corellian. A small generic is boxy, with square rooms. A small corellian is roundish with round rooms. it's not what someone told me, it's what I've actually seen.

The only way Icould be wrong would be if the house I thought was corellian was another floorplan of the generics.

there are 5 types of small corellia houses, you just described one of them, others are square. all the generic house styles look just like corellia houses, now take our wood for it, the house you saw on tattooine that "looked" like a corelllia house was in fact a generic house. like the other guy said.. THEY LOOK THE SAME!

gah - word, not wood

I know, I build them. Corellia house styles look the same as Generic house styles, got it?

Every small Corellian house is a copy of a one style of generic or another. Thank you Devs for your lack of concern for Corellian architecture.

I would suggest you purchase a medium Generic style 2 house. It has three large rooms and is the best medium sized house for a shop.

After seeing the floorplan of the Generic style 2, I immediately built one for myself and one for our town's Hospital and sold offthe 2Corellian mediums I had as our buildings.

Be aware if your intent in upgrading houses is to be able to store more ITEMS. Then you will be dissappointed.

Everysize house has the same LIMIT on the number of times you can put in them.

If you just need more space. go for it

Knocky,

Where did you find the floorplans for the houses?
