Share you thoughts here...Positives-lots of stair shape opportunities-easy to use-can easily be added to existing buildsNegatives-can't configure stairs 4 or more tiles wide-cannot create T shaped stairs without using 2 separate staircases, causing issues with railings-cannot create grand sweeping stairs due to the set position of the angles (i.e let us have shallower stairs over a greater length without removing an angle...i know what I mean, i'll try to get a pic to explain xd)

That last point example, i want the stair to extend right up to the spandrel whilst maintaining 3 curves, but dragging to fit simply removes one of the curves or causes the middle rise to be too short to fit the width (see bottom pic)...again, I know what I mean and hope you do too xdhttps://i.imgur.com/v2QIJ9p.png

Positives:- The stairs do auto-generate walls underneath (I was worried they wouldn't).Negatives:- Stairs still make friezes disappear on interior walls.- Railings/posts still clip interior walls and show when they shouldn't.- Still can't remove a single auto-wall beneath a staircase, the entire staircase has to be open.- Still can't stack open stairs in a room without a floor (this is somewhat an issue with being unable to remove floor tiles one by one).Overall, I think it's a really good tool. I would like a few more tweaks, though.

Seems like they are pretty versatile. I do wish could go up multiple floors while stile connected though. I am having fun messing around with them.https://i.imgur.com/MfHIGda.png

@muzickmage I had the foundation slider in my test build, so If it is a bug, it’s localised. Did you try it on other builds or just one? Overall, I love the stairs. I’m gonna need to go build some more to see how they work properly, but they certainly add to the fun factor (that’s as far as I got for now lol)

So far i've had to put the stairs outside to change them before moving them back into the house...might work for you."DeafSimmer;c-17231830" wrote:I thought it would create a landing, but each time I turned the stair, I keep getting the can't intersect walls message. I worked hard on the second floor and I don't want to undo the hard work. This is just so... plum!]

After waiting patiently for almost twenty years I was finally able to create this! My childhood nostalgia is crying with joy right now (it's not entirely accurate and I had to take some creative license with it because of the limitations with the railings - hopefully the devs will hear the feedback and do something about them)

Negatives: can’t change the width. Have to delete them to and choose your width if you want to change.
Can’t place plants or clutter on the base they create in the middle?

Problem solved. Apparently I just needed to quit/restart game again. Not sure what happened on the first startup but, my foundation slider option is working just fine again. So.... happy camper here lol.

Not to be negative BUT:
Making T stairs (side by side stairs where the left set bends to the left and the right set bends to the right) isn’t possible with railings. Each set will have its own railings the whole way up.

We should be able to customize railings by setting them on each side of the stairs independently...though that still may not solve this issue.

After playing with it a bit, I figured out that for me it may just be easier to build the stairs and then the house around it. I was able to place two next to each other to achieve the multiple floors look. I may have just made it more difficult, but does anyone know of an easier way?

This!
The uneditable railings annoyed me pre-update now they're even more annoying! Hopefully this gets updated soon. Fingers crossed :#

I'm a bit disappointed you can't stack U-shaped stairs on each other like how the stairs in an apartment or indoor fire escape would be. It's a step in the right direction though.

Adding to that.... It seems you can't have stairs leading up to, or from, the platform created by the L-shaping stairs either.

I also wish the automatic landing between sets of stairs could be lengthened beyond one tile, for when you want a U shaped staircase that doesn't have risers on every side of the U.

Also adding a wish for the ability to only add railings to one side of a staircase. But I don't think it will happen.
