SPIRAL STAIRCASES!

I would rather have spiral staircases added in a free update than behind a paywall. I do think they would fit the pack perfectly, but I’m sure some people would be annoyed that they would have to buy a stuffpack for it

Spiral staircases would probably still be 4 tiles. I'd have liked a nice 1-tile ladder.

Have they commented anywhere as to why they did not include a ladder? Bearing in mind we already have the animation for it.

I would love spiral staircases too and they fit very nicely with the theme of tiny living. But I think it would be better to get them in a patch rather than a stuff pack. Just imagine downloading a house from the gallery and then having to renovate it because the original had compact spiral stairs and you don't own that particular pack.

My best guess is that they want to include spiral staircases and ladders in a free update. Stuff packs do not apparently have the budget or the right people involved to make large changes to the game engine.

Maybe they want to add other things this year so they wanted to release this pack now.

I've been wanting spiral staircases for a long time, but I never expected them to be added in a stuff pack. I still have hope that we'll get them some day, but if not... it's not a big deal. We can't always have everything we want.

How can there not be the addition of spiral staircases in Tiny Home stuff pack? James Turner even mentioned ladders...the stairs we have take up so many tiles. I don't recall spiral staircases or ladders to take up that many tiles in Sims 3.

c'mon!!

Its not about the how many tiles placing a ladder or stair would take up, its about the height of the wall I think because the stairs needs to follow the height of the wall that might perhaps difficult to implement in the game. In S3 we have only one height wall, S4 has 3 different heights of wall type.

Speaking of spiral staircases and bunk beds.

excuse excuse excuse...I feel sorry for them

I would personally prefer ladders in a tiny home. I didn't really stop to consider the full implications that wall height would have on those, though, so that's a good point to bring up. They were able to figure it out with columns recently, so I'm confident that they could make it work. Even if they just gave us 3 separate assets of ladders for each wall height. No need to have the ladder slide like the columns do now, if they don't want to do it that way. You're definitely right that the wall heights do make it more complicated, though, so I can see why it wouldn't be included in an SP. I still want it, though! lol

I have no idea what the hold up is on spiral staircases, but they're not as big of a deal for me as ladders are. I'm not sure they will ever come, especially now that they did the stair update which allows you to rotate your stairwells. In regard to customization and functionality, that update is a vast upgrade over stairs in previous iterations, but it doesn't save you any space and they don't curve... so my space saving loving heart still wants something like spiral staircases. I just like having space saving options, but I have learned how to wrap stairs around the exterior of homes and implement other creative solutions in the meanwhile.

Ladders could cause a lot of trouble with pets and toddlers. On the other hand the animation already exists for pool ladders.
