A small trick i use on the medium naboo houses is to put the tourches on the second floor all around the curved walkway. From what i have observed light has no horizontal limitations in my house. The torch gives off the same amout of light whether it is downstaris on teh display floor, or ringing the balcony. This give a little more light and helps to elimiate the smoke from the torches. Still wish we have much brighter lighting though.

Large General 2 and a small General (think it's a 2 - the one with 2 big oval rooms). Lighting is horrid in both of them, and I've just made a habit of telling people to use the examine window to see the real color on displays, or to use the alternate display on their inventory to see how they look wearing the items. My biggest problem with the lighting in the general houses is it's impossible to even out. Without the personal light, everything is grey, with the personal light, the walls and ceiling are so blindingly bright you still can't see anything unless you go to first person and stand practically on top of what you want to look at. Adding torches, of course, turns everything yellow.

Since I'm on Talus, I don't have an option to change housing styles, though from what I've seen even if we did get Corellian housing, they have the same lighting issues - they're basically the same houses with different textures on the external walls.

Kinda interesting to see noone so far is using Tattoine style houses.

I'm gonna be using a small Tattoine house style 2 to start with. I like the big room you enter right from the start and then you have the little small hallway to the back where another little room is that's perfect for craftingstations and stuff

To bad it's a bit small though, otherwise it would have been the perfect shop i think.

Problem is I can't build the house where I want atm because some lair was stuck inside a big rock, I really hope this patch thing makes that lair go away so I can put upthe house.

I've been going into a lot of houses and checking out the lighting and I've come to the conclusion that they've all got serious darkness issues. The Generic/Corellian houses seem to appear brighter because of the glare off the lighter-colored walls, but if you really try to get a good look at the stuff inside the rooms I believe they're just as dark. The Naboo houses look very dark because of all the dark colors inside, but I'm not sure they are actually darker. Also, I think certain areas of the houses are darker than others. I stood in different spots in the large round room in my neighbors medium Naboo and in some places I could see my clothes fairly well. So if you position your displays and torches strategically it's almost workable. I think really the only good way to see how a color looks is to have the customer step outside (assuming it's daylight). But when I'm trying to match colors for crafting I always use the /examine window because that's the only way to guarantee consistent lighting to compare by.

I've got a small Naboo style 2 now, but once I hit master I plan to expand to a medium Naboo because it's really got the nicest look and layout for a tailor shop.

Tatooine houses are the only ones that cast any light on vertical objects, so far as I can tell. I wish I could get something as cool as either of the Tatooine Medium houses. But I can't, because I won't live on Tatooine. I live on Rori.

Sunday night I'm upgrading from a Small Generic Planet House style 2 (two small round rooms plus an oval showroom) to a Medium Generic Planet House (two small rooms, two oval rooms), to have an extra showroom.

And yeah, I use a ton of Torches. And hate them. Never mind the smoke, the light is orange colored, which I have to plan for when I pick the colors for my clothing displays. Ugh.

I'm in love with Tatooine houses, that's why I chose to live on Tatooine I had a medium tatooine house as my shop, but moved my vendor to my PA.

Just moved from a medium Naboo to a large Naboo.

The medium Naboo has the best display area, especially in how the clothing can get framed by the pillars and/or be arranged around them. However, the large Naboo has ... -that- staircase! Perfect for a fashion show!

Probably going to have formal wear and vendors in the main room, with field and everyday departments downstairs.

I also moved from a medium Naboo House to a large one. I am also the merchant for my PA so I need the space. One of the rooms holds Ekai Armories, our weaponsmith's vendor, and another holds Aadilya's Advanced Droids, our droid engineer's vendor.

I love the large spacious grand room with the sweeping staircase, where my shop is held and run. But I do agree, the lighting could be much better, the torches can only help so much.

I have a medium Naboo house, which I have gotten several compliments on.

I have my field wear/men's wear displays around the curve in the back of the large front room. In the center of the room, I have two couches and a table, and some plants scattered around the room. I also have two torches placed directly in front of the pillars, so that they blend in more. I put two chairs and a table off to one side for an additional seating area. My vendors are by the door at the bottom of the stairs, somy customersget greeted when they enter, and afterthey come in and look around, they will see the vendors standing there before they leave.

I have all the packs displayed on the stair landing, so people can see what each one of them looks like. And all around the curve of the balcony, I have my ladies' wear displayed. Lots of combinations for entertainers and more formal occasions.

Due to the item limitations, I don't have much in the rest of the house, but that's ok. I keep everything out where even the most casual drop-by-shopper will see my best displays.

Oh, and I forgot to mention. I hate the lighting in the houses. But when I am home and customers come in, I remind them that they can 'examine' any item to see it in full lighting. And if they have trouble seeing the outfit as a whole, I always offer to model things for them, and they can 'examine' *me*. That seems to help a lot.

Speaking of tailoring shops - I'm wondering if this is just me or maybe it happens to everyone else, does anyone have problems with the way your clothes look?

I noticed that because I have so many items in 1 room, from far away (3rd person view), everything looks low-res....as you get closer to the items, they end up looking the way that they need to...just curious?

I think that's probably due to your graphics settings. You can adjust that under Options.

I have a small Naboo house (the round style). I need to upgrade to a larger house, but I will probably go for alarge generic because I have noticed that with Naboo houses the bad lighting actually distorts the colors of my display models and makes the colors look VERY pale. Torches do help but they seem to add a subtle red tint to the clothing, and this makes the displays look even worse. I also need MAD storage space for all my crates and materials, so thats why the next house is gonna be a biggie.
