I've seen style one with themodest front room and thelong narrowlower back room. Could anyone please describe what the small style two Tatooine house floorplan is like? Can't seem to find anyone who knows!

i've asked the same question of several architects in game. I've asked it on this board and I've asked it on the Ahazi board, but it seems that most architect have only seen the style that their shop is in. I have gone inside 2 houses that I was told by their owners were Tatooine style 2 and they looked identical to the Tatooine style 1. With the small generic houses there is clearly 2 different plans, although I am still unclear as to which is which. There is one where you enter into a small circular entry, proceed into a small room and the big room is in the back. The other you enter down a long room and then their are 2 smallish rooms off of it.

I bought a tatooine 1. I may save up and buy a tatooine 2, put up both side by side to see if there is any difference and then take down one and resell it.

I have suggested it before, but I will suggest it again. Architects need to have available some samples of the different floorplans at least for the planet they work from. Now I am not saying that you need to have 4 empty small houses standing in a row sucking up your money. Maybe you could keep a list of some of your customers and try to get a waypoint on a couple of their houses when they put them up. That way you could direct prospective owners to some standing models of the different floorplans. You could offer a commission as an incentive to keep the houses open to the public. Let say I buy a Tatooine 2 from you and you send a guy to look at mine. If he buys as a result you tip me 200 credits.

Those of us that arent architects could help each other out too. If you have bought one of the type 2 houses or another one where there aren't 100 of them around, post to your galaxy board the coordinates so people could check out the floorplan.

And BTW I am not criticizing Architects here. Just offering some suggestions, heck I might even become one next week =)

Forgot to mention, I bought my small tatooine style 1 from a very nice architect located near Mos Eisley on Ahazi by the name of Polaris. Very good to deal with and very fair.

I have sold a few dozen of each (Type 1 and Type 2) and visited the type 2 customers' houses to see the difference and take screenshots. To be perfectly honest, I have not seen a difference between them at all. I amvery interested in seeing some screenshots of a confirmed Type 2 Small Tatooine House to make sure im not just seeing things. Can anyone help us out with this?

My husband has a small tatooine type 1, I have the type 2....there is no difference that I noticed except perhaps the back wall of the main room....that is the only thing that looked different to me ( and I may have just been exhausted then)

I think they're bugged... In beta, there was a distinct difference in style 1 and style 2. Style 2 had a long entry hallway if I remember right (kind of like the tat medium).

Also, style 1 smalls take up 2 lots, style 2 floorplans "should" take up 1 lot. That's their main advantage in the style 2, is saving a lot space. I know this works for naboo housing, but dunno if, despite the lack of difference in floorplan on the tat small, the style 2 tat is 1 lot or not (I work primarily on Naboo/Eclipse, and don't get out much )

Hope that helps.
