Diagonal stairs and ladders don't work - right?

Correct!

@MeteoraStorm - darn - but thanks for the answer

Oh, how I wish they did. Maybe it will be a future update? I can't properly build my own house in the sims without that feature.

@FurAndYarn - me too - just figured that out.

yeah this annoys me to the ends of world too cause lots of old houses be having diagonal stairs to the porch or sometimes you just want some nice diagonal rooms

but actually i think i might be able to do something about that with the new platforms coming since some people were using them to create stairs and it could maybe work diagonally *rub chin*

You could do that, but it depends how tall you want your stairs to be. The platforms rise one step at a time but are 1 tile wide.

The open water dock ladder works on an angle. Other ladders should also - but don't.

Lilsimsie built a house recently entirely diagonally just so that the stairs could be put on the diagonal. So you could try doing it that way.

@babajayne - thanks for the tip - I added a squared balcony so my ladder could connect to a diagonal room.

We so need a diagonal build tool for stairs & ladders. Also, we still need spiral stairs.
