Spiral staircase, again

Here we are 7 plus years in and still no spiral staircase.  Don't come at me with the "You can make spiral stairs". No, you can't. You can make square stairs that turn a lot and absolutely wreck the ceiling above   They look awful.  How do we have ladders and no spiral stairs?  Again , cc creators have managed to do it but no one wants to download creations with CC.  

Next, How do we have roofs and walls on a diagonal but no stairs?!  This is even more baffling.  Just did a wedding venue that I put on the diagonal to make it interesting only to have to create an entire room for the stairs!

There's no way it's that hard.

    @Whatthewoohoo , I could be wrong, but actually I think the reason we don't have spiral stairs might have to do with the 3 different wall heights we have in the game. I'm sure that is at the very least, complicating the issue.  But I love the look of spiral stairs  😍 ,  and they are more a more efficient use of space than the turning square stairs we have.  I still hope they can figure out how to put them in the game ! 🤞

    Edit: to add that I also have wanted diagonal stairs as well as curved stair cases! 🥰

    I believe that a modder has made CC spiral stairs. I think they require Realm of Magic (because it's technically a portal) and there's no animation of going upstairs, but... if you're not on console and not averse to mods and cc, that might be an option. 

    (Sorry, console players.)

    @xochiquetzl_xkvn , i can see how making the stairs a portal would fix any issues with animations! Might not be as satisfying for immersive purposes, but it would be better than nothing, and is a smart way to get around animation issues!😎  Thanks for the suggestion -- I'm sure many will benefit from it! 😇

    @Whatthewoohoo OMG yes to the diagonal stairs specifically in my case. I just started noticing that issue recently. Also, how am I supposed to build my dream loft space without spiral staircases? I ended up getting cc ones, but they still aren't perfect yet without proper game integration.

    Even though they're basic and ugly,nthe ladder is awesome for loft spaces. Only on square.
