I miss them. I want them. We need them.

Yes! I feel like spiral staircases should have been included in vintage glamour or luxury party and definitely with Get Famous! I hope they add them in soon because my more luxurious houses would benefit from them!

I agree~ I was duly disappointed when I found out we didnt have any. I had to shorten my walls to small so I didnt have a giant staircase.Speaking of stair cases, it'd be nice if we could put a closet or something under them :/

Spiral staircases have always made sense to me for the game, especially since their floor space would be so much smaller than any of the other staircases. I assume the animation for them is harder because Sims are going in a spiral vs. a straight line? I'm not an animator, developer, or designer, so I can only assume that's the case. It also probably has the same problem behind it that the developers have with curved walls--the assets aren't designed to be viewed in a curve, and get stretched horribly like looking through a fish bowl. Granted, spiral staircase railings would be the main thing to contest with, but I'd imagine railings would be easier to design without fish bowl effects than walls and windows and curtains. While on the subject of staircase variations, I'd really love L-shape and U-shape to be added as options in Build Mode. I think there are ways to make these when playing with split levels, but I'm unsure. I'd like to see them as options when choosing to lay down a staircase without manipulating the foundation levels. L- and U-shape would be much easier to design for the above reasons about straight lines. Regardless, I'd really like staircase options that don't take up so much floor space. I also agree that being able to put closets and other things under stairs without cheats would be awesome. Space saving for the win!

They are looong overdue. They appeared in all the previous versions of the game, so I really hope the devs will follow that pattern.

Spiral staircases are incredibly needed, especially if you have smaller builds!

It's not just that they take up a smaller space - they'll take up as much space as they need to - but that they'll take up a different SHAPE of space, most likely 2x2, making for more kinds of buildings. They wouldn't be so likely to block doors, and you could have high walls without consequence for space.

I would be happy just getting half-circle/curved staircases for those luxury builds. The straight stairs are a little uninspiring in those :-(

Here is the style I'd like to see :smile:

I also want the ability to create L or U-turn staircases, too.

Came here literally to ask for these! They are such stylish space savers. x-x And they need to be a base game addition so they can come in different styles.

YES. More options with stairs would be delightful.

I think a witch pack would be the perfect place to add them.

Yeah! I remember we had them in Sims 3 (I think). Bring them back, Maxis...please.

Off topic a bit...redrogue60, how are you getting images to appear in your post? I have tried various methods with zero success. I'm probably being a dunce, but it does not hurt to ask!
