Diagonal Stairs

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
I want to talk about something you don't mention above: Diagonal Stairs
How accessible is the current experience? It's useless to me
Summarize what in the product is difficult to use. I build diagonal decks all the time and then realize for some reason I can't put stairs leading up to it. It's really not okay.
How is this making it more difficult? Limits build styles in an extreme and annoying way.
How can we reproduce this experience? You NEED to release a free patch with all the stairs in the game duplicated in build mode as a "diagonal" option, just like you have with roof styles.

‌

It's ridiculous to me that in a new and supposedly improved Sims game, you * build mode by not allowing for the build of diagonal stairs. The Sims 2 and 3 had better build modes.

I've attached a photo of my issue.

If you added 'duplicates' of all the stairs in build mode with a 'diagonal' title (as you have done with roof styles) in a free patch, you'd unlock a lot more building potential for all your Simming customers. It would boost loyalty to the franchise for sure.

    @its0lexis I understand your frustration, and you are not alone in that many builders want to be able to build on a diagonal.  However, the lack of diagonal stairs is not a bug but is by design.  We do have a build mode feedback thread that I'll refer you to, where we've requested diagonal stairs along with many other build/buy improvements.  I'll move this thread to general.

    Still nothing.... It's so sad.... didn't realise this problem before at had done the most of my build and was really excited undtil I found out I couldn't place my stairs. I just tried too build our house in real life, but sims said no apparently.

    Sul Sul, everyone.
