Merchant Archive

This is a call to make Vendors structures of their own, taking up zero lots, so that we can actually be real merchants.

I've the feeling this thread will get buried underneath all of the other "Vendor Fee" threads, but I am putting this out for that as well.

Make vendors have daily maintenance like small houses. Because they are their own structure and not a house, it allows Merchants to still own a Large House when they become successful, have factories for their other crafting profession (most of us have them) and some harvesters to get resources.

They would also be much easier to to pick out of the clutter of houses out past the no-build zone. Make different ones, some like tents, some like "ice cream trucks", some like small merchandise stands, ect.

As it stands now, I can not use all of my available vendors because the smallest house is 2 lots. I already have forced interaction through buying goods from other craftsbeings, I shouldn't have to go begging to other people to please let me put my vendor in their home and, oh yeah, you have to make your home public. I should be able to put my store where I want it.

And as a successful Master Merchant, I should be able to have all of those stores and a big, opulent mansion to prove how successful I am.

As it is now, all of my vendors are in one room of a small naboo house (with one exception, which is a practical joke I'm playing on my partner in our other house). I turned ad barking on for all of them just so I could have quadraphonic sound.....

Its just a suggestion, but it would go a long way towards making us truly merchants.

Yet another good idea that they simply dont care enough to look into. (Really im not usually this negative lol)
