Help! I Have an Unusuable Venue!
I am not a builder... at all. So I rely on the Gallery for my homes and commercial venues. Recently I downloaded what I thought would be an ideal Community Center. It looked great when I added it to m...

It just appears to be too close to the edge of the lot. So you have three options to fix it.
One, like someone else already said is to lower the foundation to the ground. Just click anywhere in the room in build mode and when the box and arrows pop up, grab the big center arrow and pull it downward.
Your second option is to move the lot. If you don't want to move it to a bigger lot in the neighborhood, you can slide it back on the lot it's on. Up on the top bar in build mode there's a folder, and next to that a big +. Click on the + and select move lot. It will put a grid and arrows on the house. Grab the big + in the middle and drag the lot backwards. As long as everything is green, it fits. If it turns yellow, it is going to get cut off. So whether or not you actually have room to slide it back will depend on how close to that back edge they built it. Then click the check mark and it will save it. Then you should have room to place stairs.
If that's not an option, you can adjust the building size. Click on the wall the front door is on. When the box pops up, grab the arrow that appears on that wall and pull it backwards a couple squares. This obviously means you will lose wall space and anything that was on those walls or really close to them, but it would give you room to place the stairs.
Edited to add: What Raichisims mentioned is the likely cause. When move objects is used to place something on a lot, then the lot is saved and downloaded into someone else's game, the game deletes anything that was placed using the cheat. So placing it with the cheat on is certainly an option. Personally I prefer not to use move objects on anything Sims interact with to avoid any potential errors. (And I never use it on lots I plan to share because of this issue.) I rarely use it at all, because I've seen weird stuff happen because of it. While the cheat is available, it doesn't work like it should.
