Anyone else tried split stairs?

How’d you do that? I’ve only played TS4, so this new update is new to me in the sense that I’ve never experienced other sim games. I was testing out terrain tools yesterday, but what you did there is pretty neat.

Hooray! I was wondering if stuff like that would work, and I'm so glad it does! Gonna try it out for myself!

If you have house a with a foundation or otherwise you create a room and delete the floor, so you can now have a ground-level room; then you build another foundation inside that room with a different height - you then add the stairs connecting the floors to each other intersecting that one foundation.

Was this possible before yesterday's patch?

No, it wasn't. The update added the ability to have different foundation heights on the same lot. Before, they were all one level, however high or low it was.

Not like this. You can do alternating stairs floor to floor, but not between floors(unless I missed a Sim Supply video). This is one of many things that the new terrain and foundation features is making available.

Yes, but the rooms with different foundation heights can't be connected. The method the OP uses looks great, but it still requires deleting the floor on top of the foundation -- which we able to do before.

The reason I am asking is I spent quite some time playing around with this to try "true" split stairs (without having to go down a level) and was not able to... it's high on my wish list.

Edited to add: I think I see what they did. Enclose a different "room" with a different foundation in another room? If that's the case I'll give it a try!

Edited again: I've tried to duplicate this but I keep getting "conflicting block clusters". :(
Edited yet again: Got it working. Very clever! How I got it going in the spoiler.
