thank you so much for your wisdom and reaching out, SheriGR!
my name is the same as here: CaptnJaq. Same profile pic too. the lot has been in the gallery for the past few days called AREND Entertainment Complex.
sidenote: when you download the lot, you'll noticed light fixtures, pillars, and wall deco, and sculptures. i went back and forth removing them along with taking out the railing all together. ...crazily enough I want the IMAX floor to be high cuz it's IMAX lol // in addition, the game does give me the red when the stairwell formation is forbidden.
CaptnJaq Thank you for sharing the lot! Really cool build, btw!
I did test with sims and also found that a toddler could go up and down the stair flights for the two floors. However, an adult could not go up the second set of stairs. I think this is the issue I've had before when twisting at a certain tightness and angle where I assume they cannot clear the height at the twist:
So I made a different set of stairs then the adult sim could go up and down the stairs, and these stairs did fit in the same space:
I did also move the countertop on the floor above a bit since the stairs now exited on the left tile:
However, you mentioned on your gallery post that you are having elevator issues. The first time I tried testing two of the sims went to the top floor elevator (where they were trapped) and two went to the bottom floor elevator (where it gave me an error message that you can only have one elevator. The sims also could not use the door to exit the building... or to enter it. However, removing one elevator did not fix the issue, it just controlled where they would spawn into the building. The only way to leave was to travel by car. Another issue I had was that even when I removed both elevator the sims could not enter the building at all. I even tried making it residential and that didn't allow them to enter the building either, unless I re-added an elevator so they could spawn inside.
I would recommend always, always playtesting as you go. I hope something in all of that will be of use to you in sorting this out.
