Curved staircases brought back?

Who here would like to see curved staircases a la Sims 2 brought back? It would give us so much more creativity if we ever wanted to design our homes in a more wild gothic, Art Nouveau or Art Deco style. Think about all the possibilities.
  • I voted yes, because it's been a request for the past seven years...it must be impossible since they haven't gotten around to it, yet.....seven years later...
  • I voted yes cause why not? But I also don't see the big deal. Besides the fact that it will look nice with certain builds, it's literally just sims walking up in a circular pattern ? I mean...
  • I've been missing spiral stairs yes especially when i keep seeing them in houses that would look so nice in tartosa :sweat_smile:

    but also they'd really have to fix the routing first its going insane atm :sweat_smile:

    also meanwhile id take ts2 style spiral stairs wouldn't it be cool if we could also adjust the curves to make all kinds of silly wiggly stairs... yeah okay I'll tone down the expectations :lol:
  • I do like the look of them but wish there could be a single-width version instead of only those massive mansion-style double ones, they take up a heck of a lot of space. But I guess for space savings, we have the option of spiral staircases. I've learned the hard way to avoid them though because they can be buggy and trap Sims.

    Still, all the cool detailed build items in the world can't save Sims4 from being more of a dollhouse than an actual game. But since they can't seem to fix the game itself (or don't care to?), sure, let them throw more objects on top. :)

    Spiral stairs are very near the top of the things I feel, and most others too, that this version lacks. I guess I'm missing something because it doesn't seem to be all that difficult to add and yet we've been asking, begging, and pleading for it since day one. As popular as they were in TS3 you would have thought if it didn't come with the base game from the start it would have been added within the first year.


    I think part of the problem is because they decided to give us different size wall heights in TS4, so spiral stairs would need to be different heights or adjust to the different heights. The other games never had different wall heights to worry about, each wall was the same height so all the stairs could be the same height.

  • Yes absolutely! I've wanted to propose curved staircases and spiral staircases myself for so long!!!!
