If you do one platform reaching from one side to the other it instantly sets at the current floor height (rather than the grass height), then there is no way to lower it towards the grass height because the sides stay up.

What I was trying to do was use platforms instead of stairs to get down to the ground.

What do you mean by sides stay up?

The first posts in this thread are so funny haha

Thanks for the input tho, I probably would have done the same mistake!

Maybe it will work if you replace the foundations with platforms?

If a house is made and a plattform placed which is later removed, there is an empty space in the flat ceiling matching it. I don’t think it matters though, and it is only visible when walls are completely down, and looking at the roof level.

Edit: Though there is a line on the floor where it used to be.
Edit 2: No! I fixed it by removing the empty room space; both the line and the hole.

Game changers make everything look easy, they’ve had more practice... We’ll be able to use the tool eventually.

(I’m not updating my game until Thursday, I’m resting!)

Genius! Thank you <3 I didn't want to change the original lot until I was sure it would work, so I tried it on an empty lot:

So, we now have a way to make diagonal stairs!

Do you have a ceiling? Those aren’t the same as having a roof.

I thought in TS4 roofs were weatherproof? I know in earlier games the space under a roof wasn't regarded as indoors, but Kate Emerald does a lot with ceilingless attics and she says her builds are weatherproof.

no ceiling. I made the kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms, then joined with a wall the bedroom wall to the bathroom wall in an oblong shape, hold on I'll take pics. it let me place a ceiling light above the living room space. but the snow comes in. i have a roof, but no ceiling. and someone suggested you can add a roof by clicking, but clicking where??? I also tried making a flat roof with the platforms, like Ytube says you can. it still snowed inside, so I added a short gate but that takes away the look of a flat room made with the platforms. hold on I'll add more pics. maybe someone can tell me what I have done wrong.
