- Nobody958 years agoSeasoned VeteranRight now there isn't a way to do this I believe. Hopefully this will be addressed in the future patches or something.

I do step down rooms all the time too. - LothiRose8 years agoNew VanguardHow do you do that?

Well there may be an easier way to do this but this is how I know to do it.
First you have to section off the part you want to place the stairs. I removed the front wall you you can see better.

Then use the sledgehammer and remove the floor.

Add your foundation pattern

Delete the walls around where you sectioned off, except for the exterior walls if any. You can leave the walls if a room is right next to the step-down.

Add your basement, stairs, step-down stairs, and your floor tiles. You can turn your stairs any which way as you see I did it differently this time.

Add some fences if you want.
Sometimes I make entire step-down rooms. - LothiRose8 years agoNew VanguardThank you for explanation and pictures! I'll try this soon and come back.
- ladybreid8 years agoSeasoned AceI do wish they would fix that. I have this really great house in my game currently and that untexturable bit ruins it which is a shame.

Wow, thank you so much for the quick little tutorial! My own stairs at my house have one of those weird 45-degree angles midway through, I wonder if I could use this concept to build those? You are Insightful'd, thanks again for taking the time to do it!- LothiRose8 years agoNew VanguardI think I got it :)

Although I wish I could use a different foundation pattern than the pattern im using on the exterior. It's a bit buggy.. trying to texture the inside here textures some of the outside foundation as well (since its like a bucket tool). I wish we could paint them one block at a time like you can with wallpaper..
But overall, better than before. Thank you :) - Joanne_Snow8 years agoLegend

Wow this looks really cool @coldplay2233 , I can see you put a lot of care into building and detail.
