Stair railing

Stair railings should be split and editable rather than 'automatically' applied to both sides.

Years have passed and these basic updates still... don't happen. I don't understand.

Left and right stair railings must be installed separately. 

I was just designing a house and thought it would be a good idea to give up railings.

what's the matter?😩

    I agree on all the above.  Also, it would be nice to FINALLY have the much NEEDED Spiral Stairs in Sims 4.

  • That would be helpful, especially as some of the railings will show up through walls and windows and it's impossible to create grand staircase when the railings are always on both sides.

      I had to leave space between the staircase (I bent the stairs to lead into the foyer) but the wall was into the dining room. Dang rail showed pathetically. I had to move the entire stairs over to get rid of the unsightly mess. 😮

    Absolutely agree! It was like that in the previous games, so it seems silly not to have it now.

  • I so totally agree with you. Yes, please! If you have a staircase nestled against a wall, for instance, you don't need two rails, not in the traditional sense. We should also have the option to pin a single rail on a wall, such as I have in my RL house. And just when do you suppose we'll get spiral staircases? And not just the tightly coiled type?

    I've always wanted this feature also. Didn't one of the earlier Sims have this?

  • Or at least add a cheat so you can click Shift + railing and only do one side or just from step to wall, etc.
