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.

I started in a medium naboo, found that I did not have enough room, not to mention the guild moved the pa city to tatooine, SOOO....I bought a large tatty house. My husband has a small planetary for my workroom and his (BE) and I now have almost enough room to display not only alot of my clothes and combinations, some of my furniture and a fish tank and BE carousel. I had to take down my BE zoo though for room for the clothes. I would like to see another 100 items added to large houses and pa's, both of which merchants and guild like to use for malls. If we can pay the upkeep, we should get the space. If I invited an armorsmith to place a vendor, I would have to take down my samples for him to properly display.


250 is not enough display space for samples of clothing, furniture for your 'home', and fun things like fish tanks, NOT to mention the backpacks of resources for crafting.

I've got a smalll tatooinian style 2 for my shop; the large entry room has excellent light, especially if you position a torch in each corner. It's great for fitting people and having them try things on. The space is limited, true, by I fixed that by setting up a showroom a short distance away (another small). Between the two, I have all available tailoring patterns on display besides the noble's crest, which I still need materials for.


I hate living in suburbia, so I set up both houses on small plots with lots of rocks and boulders surrounding them so no one can set up right next door to me. Unfortunately, neither spot is big enough for anything besides a small house, so I probably won't be moving into a bigger space anytime soon. That's ok, though. I have yet a third small house on top of the mountain behind my shop that I have set up as a house, with my factory taking up the only other available land on the pinacle. It's nice to be able to walk out of my front door and see Anchorhead across the valley in the distance, then stroll down to the hill to my shop and showroom.

Medium Naboo here as well. I think when I had it built it was probably my first choise just because of how much the main room suits a 'shop' but I have since come to regret it. The naboo houses may be nice but they are extremely dark. Even with 5 torches in the room in areas to maximize the brightness.. you just CANNOT see any detail in the clothing. I have my shoes & boots aranged arround the center circle of the main room and even then you cant tell one boot from the next until you examine it. When I get a customer all set up with there new outfit I always ask them to step outside so I can see it good it looks and if it could use any touchups. Even into the late evening or early morning when the sun has set and it's really starting to get dark I can see detail better outside then in.

I operate out of a small naboo house style 1. I am yet to fill up the object limit but plan on expanding to a medium or large naboo house. I too need the storage space and room to display my outfits when I become Master. I have a question for you guys that mention stairs in a large naboo house. Is there a better benefit to stairs in a large house as opposed to a medium naboo house? The main reason I want stairs is to place my pictures and possibly fish on my walls. Never thought of the fashion show but that sounds like a great idea too!

I use a medium tatooine which is actually my home. Only the front room has vendors, and it works out very nicely
