Sims 2 Bug Report

Connecting Stairs and Railing tools are broken, I cant delete the stairs at all, before the update it used to glitch and continuously give me money, but now it is like it doesn't exist... 

and I cant place rails on custom staircases

For context i also tried making a multi - level staircase with a platform at the bottom for an L - shaped stairway.. Before the update my sims would walk in circles (Especially the butler) and ended up starving themselves as they kept trying to re-route to the top of the stairs

After the most recent bug patch my sims now attempt to use the stairs but glitch off the screen before reappearing on the platform, walking down the stairs only to say they cant walk up the stairs. 

For context please check out @Annaomaly's short "Sims cant use the stairs in sims 2" short on YouTube as we are both having the same problem

  • Please fix the sledgehammer tool as the destroy option is almost unusable
  • Please fix the stairs and allow them to be deleted
  • Please let sims route up the stairs

    I'm having the same issues. Can't delete the stairs anymore and that goes for full size and half stairs like from the ground to a foundation. I haven't found a way to delete them and my sims can't use them.

  • Caroex mlampy Please let me know if the cheat deleteAllStairs does anything.

    Zeedxar0 If you use Custom Content stairs, keep in mind that they might require an additional file (text file added to the Scriptorium framework provided by modders) to work. I am not sure whether that has been broken with Legacy Collection.

    mlampy Thanks for letting me know. If you still have the affected lot, feel free to package it using the in-game package option, add it into a ZIP file and attach it to your reply here so I can check it out.

  • I'm having this issue still. I've been trying to renovate one of the townhomes I placed and I don't like the front stair case. I've placed one set, using the continuing stairs tool, to see if I liked the look, and now it won't deleted. It highlights with the sledge hammer and adds the money back but doesn't actually delete them. It's getting sooooo frustrating.

  • Modular stairs in Sims 2 have been buggy since they released Mansion and Garden and they never addressed it. I haven't had a stair bug (yet) since switching to Legacy, so I don't know if any of the things that used to work still will but here's what I've got:

    Turn on MoveObjects on.

    Find the right spot on the stairs to sledgehammer; trying different heights and angles. 

    Using the stair tool, try holding control while you click on the stairs, trying different spots on the stairs if it doesn't work the first time.

    Move the lot to a new location.

    mate54Here is the google drive link to the ZIP file that contains a bugged stair lot. I couldn't get it to add to a comment still.

  • mlampy EmmeKahtleen Caroex Zeedxar0 The latest update should address the staircase issue. Please note that staircases that were bugged before the patch will not be fixed; delete them by forcing an error on them. New staircases should not have this issue.

    The teleporting issue appeared on mlampy's lot with the buggy staircases, but as I replaced them they slowly stopped teleporting. This may have been connected to the deleting stairs issue, so I recommend testing on brand new lots.
