Please add new stair types like spiral stairs, elevators etc.

As a builder it would really make it easier to build and imagine new builds if you had a plethora of stairs. The connection between two floors has always been that single stair type that takes up to 8 tiles.

There are just so many different stair types that would expand the game to a whole new level (pun intended).
- switchback stairs - stairs that folds back in the middle taking 4 tiles
- ladder stairs (1 tile) for treehouse
- elevator of course (ranging from 1 tile elevator to 4 tiles)
- round stairs that occupies a square of 4 to 8 tiles depending on the grandeur :-P
- spiral stairs that takes a 4x4 or the really tight spiral stair of 1 tile
- tube stairs (future elevator that sucks you to the next floor) 2x2 tile or just 1 tile
- pole stair like the ones at the firestation
- rock stairs for the neaderthal build
- - no stair type - where the sim just teleport from location to another location. 1 tile - start and end teleportation or a chain of locations and the sim chooses the end point if you place a series of them down.

After 16 years of sims, isn't it time to add this to the base game. Spiral stairs as a start for castles would be nice.

Thank you for reading.

  • What if the Stairs would move sort of like the roofs. what I mean by that is, you place down your standard Stair, after that there are three areas you can control/change the angle, the shape, Etc.?
  • As a fellow builder, I really miss spiral staircases and elevators. I was really hoping we'd at least get elevators back in build mode when City Living came out.
  • How about a teleport elevator like the one from Sims 2. Make sim interact with platform, follow cam on, teleport to a predefined destination up or down depending on your decision and if you got a 2nd platform, follow cam off.

    All the mechanics is in the game already, it's just the question about tying it to a "teleportation platform" enabling any sim to teleport direct path up or down and built like stairs, put it down on one floor it will be built on to floors, allow to "build" on to of exsiting one to connect to more floors. (make the teleport animation short)
  • I miss the Spiral stairs that Sims 3 had that was never put into Sims 4.

    To this day i still want at least a form of stairs that takes up less space that toddlers can go up. The ladder has been great, but spiral stairs would be MUCH appreciated.

  • You can create an L shaped staircase leading to the second floor but it's not the same as a fluid spiral staircase. 

    We need the spiral in the staircase for clean persise building in the game and tiny lots/builds.

    I would love a spiral staircase that fits inside the smallest round room, on the diagonal squares that you can build in the middle. Then I could put in tower staircases in my castles. But also just regular spiral and curved stairs would be lovely. And diagonal stairs?
