Another question I had was, while I know that Retainers can be placed outside your house, can the vendors also be placed in the yard or are they restricted to the interior of the house?

Thanks in advance for any answers!
1. The difference is purely cosmetic. They sell the same goods.
2. Retainers can only be placed outside while the other npcs are restricted to indoors.
