If you had a problem with stairs since the update...

I've read other people are having this problem, are you and have you solved it?

And weirdly enough for my household, it is only one set of stairs? The other two it appears, they are happy to go up and down those.

Anyway, I managed to get around it by putting a ladder there instead and the sims are using it. Just thought I would put this out there if people want a quick work around until a fix.

  • Thanks for that, but that won't work for family players as toddlers can't go up ladders, and sim parents can't carry them while going up stairs, but for those who don't play with families that is a great work around.
  • There was already a whole thread on it but it's been merged into the issues after patch thread here:

    Also has anyone else found that toddlers can't use stairs anymore at all? Since the patch my toddler sim won't go up or down any stairs, even with stairs that work for adult sims so they're just stuck on one floor unless I teleport them down.
  • I was playing a family (mom, dad, toddler son) and he had no problem with stairs other than it taking a long time since it's a long flight. :/ Next family will be going in a single story house till the toddlers age up to children.
  • Bumping for updates? I've been sticking temporary ladders into my builds to work around the bug, but I hope I'll be able to use my lovely open stairs again soon...
