Diagonal stairs and ladders don't work - right?

No. But you can add a porch with stairs. I managed in this build (it was for one of Lilsimsie's shell challenges).

@Dianesims - very interesting...I will have to find a place to try that.

I've yet to be able to build my favorite house in this game. With the latest stairs they gave us, I was at least able to do it partially. But the problem is, the house was originally built in the 1800s sometime after the Civil War, out in Los Angeles, CA by an Officer from that war, for his wife. my Grand Uncle and his wife purchased it. It was marvelous. Thing is, there was a door on an angle in the kitchen that led up to the landing of the stairs. It was for the maid, you see. But, stairs don't and have never in this game worked on an angle to my chagrin. I would love to have this amended before they give us the spiral staircase, or both at once, if that's possible. Plus, I would love for there to be two kinds of spirals. Not just the tight kind we normally get but this type as well:

When are we getting spiral staircases?

@catmando830 I don't know. Wish I did.

I'm actually wondering if i may be able to make like gigantic curvy staircase with the platforms but i assume it might get too big due to steps having to be 1 tile at least

ah if only i could have platforms already i have so many experiments in mind

I do be really wanting those though cause there was some builds in ts1 using curved staircase and i can't really recreate the vibe in ts4 yet

I noticed I cannot place objects on diagonal walls too lately

I don't really think we ever could, could we?

@Montrase102 & @GalacticGal - I can put windows, lights, doors and a small painting on diagonal walls. Just testing.

I mainly noticed I couldn't place curtains over the diagonal walled windows and I cannot place the stand alone shower from Discover University too.
