Issues with stairs?

Move the stairs or delete them completely. A fence will appear on the landing. Delete the part of the fence where the stairs connect at the top. Delete the flooring if it appeared. Place new stairs. Remember to never use auto-fence/walls when building so you don't run into this problem again. And you will find that the lots created by Maxis have this problem and will need fixing.

One thing to note of this work-around: the original open area will be considered by the game as “one room” with the landing area, hence making floor deletion a no-go—the game removes flooring on a per-room basis. This will result in your open stairways being covered with plain floor/ceiling.

I'd have to get in game and check, but I do this all the time. You may have to create a fence around the flooring that is to be removed, without using auto-fencing, but it can be done.

I tried this in Chez Llama and it deleted a section of the ceiling and roof. Not being a builder I didn’t know how to fix it so I had no choice but to undo and leave the broken stairs.

Maxis needs to fix this problem. Deleting the stairs and potentially breaking the builds more is not a solution.
