Building tools from past games are not possible in 4 because of the game engine. The world environment is a flat surface and is not written to allow changes in elevation so terrain tools, swimmable oceans, multi level foundations, snow depth and split level stairs are just not going to happen unless they change the engine entirely. Stairs in the game are really just an object to simulate the effect of multiple “levels” but the 2nd floor is really on the same plane as the 1st floor. They managed to patch in pools but that’s about it. I’d be very surprised if they made any new large scale features for build mode because of how limited the engine is.
The gurus have said that most bugs from past packs are not prioritized for patches. That’s why so many of them have stuck around despite widespread customer feedback. SimGuruKate herself said certain bugs will never be fixed. Making new content (and making new money) will always be the studios priority over fixing old issues for products people have already bought.
Multi Level foundation has nothing to do with the world being flat. It just that they integrated the foundation to the whole building rather than per piece. We are told that Terrain tools are possible. Different type chairs are being research. Where did you get the information about that on the engine? That the floor is the same as 2nd floor, etc.?
