I put L shaped stairs next to wall!

So I was building a new house and fighting with the L stairs to look how I wanted them. I somehow ended up moving the stairs next to the wall and was amazed because usually you have to have a 1 tile length space between it... Did anyone figure out this yet? I haven't seen it. So I decided to start something new and figure out step by step how to do it exactly. Decided to share. :)

Hopefully you guys can follow along with how I tried to describe things....

So yeah. And the roof goes on fine. So no struggle with that. I did have to play around with a lot of objects to try and get the upstairs railing done. I thought about putting a room divider behind a couch in the three empty spaces upstairs, but didn't actually test to see if a sim could then sit on the couch....But this worked out okay, I think. Also, there is going to be a slope outside the house where the stairs meet, so you'll have to be creative with terrain tools and landscaping.

I have so many ideas and things I want to try with this new knowledge! lol, And sorry if this has already been posted, I just got so excited!

Good luck! And happy holidays. ;)

    @Zasz Hey, I couldn't save the room because it doesn't recognize as one. I uploaded the house though, so hopefully you can figure something out. If you look up hashtag wyrren it should be the only thing that comes up. Have fun. ^^

    Thank you @Wyrren for sharing this! I had tried from Kate Emerald’s video but this stuff is really finicky! Still, for old farmhouses and other reproductions I have rattling around on my mind this is really good stuff. The fence piece at the landing looks great from behind. My thought in seeing that was a SIM toddler sneaking out of bed, being spotted through the glass and promptly hauled back up the stairs and put back to bed.

    :| :/ ... yeah, my sims will be walking up and down the stairs straight lol
    I dunno if there's been some major update to building but I'm struggling so hard at the moment.

    It really looks great, but did it mess up your roof?

    The last time I did this I think was for a sunk in living room and it messed my roof up. I think I had gaps or something it's been well over a year so I don't really remember.

    LOL never mind I finished reading.

    Great job!

    This looks pretty cool! I like the little flower detail you've got there.

    I hope we eventually get L shaped stairs, ladders, grand entryway staircases (curved), and spiral stair cases one day. It's only been oh, four years. No big deal. None at all. c:

    Zasz's idea is the best, would work good in big staircases (except long parts from high foundations to ground), anyone knows how he makes floor on low wall?

    @Zasz I think the game’s concept of room has changed and we will need to rethink how to work around. I’m thinking this new concept of room might be why I got snow in my greenhouse. It would be a shame if the game did not recognize @Wyrren clever house as a room and it got filled with snow despite being covered with a roof.

    This is really cool! I have a build in mind, where this might help me to make it :)
