Stairs going up from kitchen

Some of my houses I've built have a 2nd staircase in the kitchen. I like the old homes and many of them had the staircase for use by the servants. Two I can name are the Lizzie Borden house and The Grey House (from the TV show The Good Witch". My Gallery ID is MaggieMae7276. I probably have more with 2 staircases, but I don't remember the names I gave them.

I found the Grey House, but cannot find the Lizzie Bordon. Could you post a link to it in the gallery?

I Found it!

I built a house called Magnolia Manor, it’s on the gallery, my name here is my gallery i.d. and it has a kitchen staircase.

Edited to correct misspelling of is, because that's the day I'm having.

I am busy building today, because my Main save is at a stand still, although I did find one more song he had written and double-checked if he's already won for it. The Flashback Erik has already gained his Global Superstar status and won his first Accolade, so that I don't have much for him to do. So, that favorite house of mine is getting another rendition. I believe I may have found a 'work around' for the kitchen staircase. You see, in this particular build, the staircase isn't visible in the kitchen. It's behind a door! Open door, walk up a couple of steps, voila, you're on the landing next to the staircase going up to the second floor. Since angles won't allow workable doors or stairs (and to my knowledge without MOO, you can't even hang a picture or a window on one) I thought I was hosed. However, I discovered what I was doing wrong ages ago when we first got platforms, before they gave us the stairs that can bend. Instead of placing the steps (or trying to) on the angle, I've decided to place them on the end. I built a wall around this area with a door leading into it. So far, so good. I was able to place the stairs going up to the second floor and the short two steps from the entry hall. I will show pictures once I've got it done and have tested to see if a Sim can walk through the Maid's/Servant's entrance. Okay, break over, it's time to get the second floor divided into rooms.

@GalacticGal - looking forward to see this build.

I hope it lives up to the hype. I did get it to work, but I really don't like the look of it. I will post pictures when I finish actually playing the game for the day. :)

Okay, here you go:



I'm a tad unhappy because the stairs going to the second floor are almost 'floating' on the hall side. I think I like the winder stairs better, even though they don't allow for the Maid's Entrance.

The roof will never be like the original house's roof. That front A-roof curved downward on the one-side to become the roof over the porch.

Two angles on the stairs with cut out walls:
You can see the Test Sim on the side.

I like it - do you have a gallery link for it?

Hi. I just finished tinkering with the build. I placed it on a smaller lot, 40 X 30. It was originally built on Hound's End in Brindleton Bay. The lot is titled: Magnolia Ave House. My username is the same as on the forums: GalacticGal. I failed to grab the link and I just closed down my game so I can install HSY. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.

I found it - thanks - this is going to be fun!

Thanks! I hope I got all of the floors even. Had to redownload it myself, then all seemed well. Phew! Have fun!
