SPIRAL STAIRCASES!

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!!
  • Any kind of stairs or ladders should not come in any packs, they should be a free update in a patch. This is not something I want to have to buy a pack for.
  • Am I the only one who doesn't think spiral staircases were that space saving? iirc, in TS3, they took up four tiles and were HUGE.
  • I don't think they add build mode features into smaller packs sadly, or at least I'm sure I've seen a guru tweet about that in the past.

    EA are probably not willing to finance them for more without wanting them to raise the price. For $10 they are probably pretty limited in what they can do. If they would put in more money then they would expect something in return because they are not going to change their finances just because people want spiral staircases. It's possible Maxis do not want that either, how much that should included in a stuff pack is an agreement between the developers and the publisher, Maxis have said how much they can deliver and EA is providing them with money to do it.
    A larger budget generally means that Maxis have more to deliver.

    So when they say "not enough resources" they mean that they would have to charge you more or change their agreement with their publisher. They are not really willing to do that for spiral staircases.


    And not when we have the stair tool now. Not quite the same I know, but likely enough to put the spirals on the back burner and onto other things.

    Has there been any mention of spiral stairs being added eventually?

    I think the stair update we got is suppose to cover spiral stairs. I don't think they're going to give us anything else.


    they don't cover spiral staircases at all though.
    spiral will probably come in a pack, then update.
    its a popular request.
    odd its not in the new pack and bunk beds, I've learned to not assume anymore where the sims 4 is Concerned.
    giving us a pack with a Murphy bed as the NEW item, makes me wonder if its the plan with spiral staircases to
    the sims 4 as a habit of smaller stuff in past base game and expansion packs turning up in stuff packs as the main new premium item, like


    buffet table
    hottub
    pumpkin carving
    Laundry



    hopefully we get those staircases sometime in 2020

    The times you most save space with a spiral staircase would be with rooms that has taller ceilings, and a spiral staircase that goes up several floors. In theory you would only ever need one staircase to go from bottom to top, people can get on or off whichever floor they pass.
  • I, for one, would like a straight answer: Are they able to do spiral stairs? Are they going to do them if they can? If they can do them and if they are then when? These are not difficult questions.
