I'm not really a builder, but I was able to work around some of the limitations to build l shaped stairs or loft areas and stages. The problem is in live mode in this case, there are restrictions on what the game consider a room, and with seasons is a big problem indeed. While you can build a l shaped stairs, the part who uses the foundation as walls is not a room for the game, and not part of the house, meaning that it's not affected by the thermostat for example. So yeah, build mode needs a rework now more than ever.
I agree. The way that the game registers what a room is and what isn't is very restrictive. This is in the way a lot of times when building. For example when making an open landing, the first floor isn't considered a room.
I feel like this is due to the way that building was set up in TS4. It's totally different from TS3. For example we can't place individual floor tiles. First you have to select one of the room tools for this to work. Once you get the gist of build mode it's understandable, but it's just too nitpicky.
