I remodeled a Maxis lot, but despite not moving the stairs or making any substantial edits to the frame of the lot, my sims can't access the second floor at all. When I click on the second floor, not...
Hi, that's nice work. Though I don't have some of items (DLC), there are a few points that I'm concerned about. 1. marked door in the following pic; It's designed so that only Sims with a certain reputation level or higher can pass through. Have you set the required reputation level?
2. exterior staircase door; That door cannot be used because the lighting placed next to it is blocking it.
And one more. I wonder how Sims go to the back space of barcounter. I don't have the marked item in following pic, is that a door? If so, Sims can't that door because the tapestry is back of that door I think.
Once try to re-place the items on 2nd floor without MOO. Hope this help.
heyyyjojo I did a couple hours of testing on the lot today. It is a strange issue, but I think I have narrowed down the problem. I believe you've got an invisible object or artifact that is blocking access to the 2nd floor. I have no idea what it is, but I suspect it's a holdover from an object that was deleted during your renovation. What was really odd is that it makes the entire 2nd floor unclickable. It's very similar to the platform issue where the tiles where a platform was deleted became unusable afterwards (fixed now). Simply manually deleting all objects on either or both floors doesn't fix it but if you install the lot from your Library unfurnished, the floor becomes accessible. So, you can fix it, but it means refurnishing the entire build. But you do have an issue on the 2nd floor that Pick-a-boo_doo pointed out. You don't have a way into the area where the piano is located. So, you'll need to change the build to give your sims access to the area.
Pick-a-boo_doo That's the Athenaseum Ladder Bookcase from Crystal Creations along with 2 columns buried in that wall. What you said about the GF celebrity door is valid, but I don't believe has anything to do with the issue as there is also the outside stairway which has no restriction. Once I got the floor to be accessible, my test sim had no problem getting to and around the 2nd floor using the outside stair. The "hidden" bookcase door does work with the light fixture in that position btw.
