The Basement is merely a formality as there is a gap underneath the stairs for a door. You can choose to forgo the basement if you wish, but the Private Quarters are critical to the shop owner's AI. Now, create two new interior cells like you did before. My two areas id's are: JGMyFirstShopQuarters and JGMyFirstShopBasement. Keep all the Lighting, Common Data and Interior Data the same as before (except the name of the area), and then load the Private Quarters cell. | ||
