Re: Stairs Connecting to Platforms have no Base/Walls

@lexisplays 

I just tested this in a vanilla test save.  I had no problem with it as shown in the pic. 



I got the stair base for every stair I tested including the one I see highlighted in your first pic.  I get the base every time.  So idk why you are getting what you are getting with the base.  I do have all packs and the game is up to date with the latest patch.  The only thing that I can recommend that you try is to do a repair and see if that helps.  

Hope this helps.

    Did repairing your game fix this issue for you? I am having this same issue, no wall bade

    under my stairs no matter what I do. I tried repairing my game but still, the base will not show up.

    You can usually get the base to show again if you apply wall paint to the stairs. Just select a wall paint and click on the stairs like you would if the base was there.  That should restore the base.

    Hope this helps.

    I have tried this, and that does not fix the problem. 

  • @evanmwogrinHave you checked this Icon shown in my picture, the green marked Icon?
    (I don't know how this Icon is called in english)
    With this i can make the walls visible.

    My walls are already up in game (see photo I attached) you can see the walls are already up.

    This shows that the wall is included when the stair is attached when it’s connected to the next floor, but not attached when it is connected to a platform. 

  • @evanmwogrin I think this is normal.

    When a Stair is conected on a platform and goes up, the wall doesn't conect to the bottom floor. For this it needs a bigger platform.

    Tbh, I can't tell what is really going on from your pics.  So, if you are willing to upload the build to the Gallery, I will download it and troubleshoot to see if I can figure out what is going on with the stairs.

    If you are willing to do that, just reply here with the name of the lot in the Gallery and you UserID if different than the one you use here (evanmwogrin).

    Hope this helps.

    @CGrant56 You’re amazing!
    Sorry that it was not clear. Basically, there are no base walls attached to my stairs when I place them on a platform. Even if I try to add a wallpaper, or apply a different type of stair. No walls base ever appears.

    I will upload my incomplete build under the title “Casina Valadier” !

    @CGrant56 Just uploaded the build to the gallery under “Casina Valadier”.

    I attached another photo to show where I want a base wall under those stairs.

    Ok, I downloaded the lot this morning and spent the last couple of hours trying to find a way to get the stair base to show up on those stairs. Sadly, without much success.  I get what you are trying to do with the stairs but what you've done in that stair area is pretty complicated.  Between the stairs, platforms, open stairwell, columns, the sunken and raised foundations and the tight space for the stairs in that area, something about that combination is keeping the stair base from showing.  I could get the stair base to show with just the platform and stair when I placed it out in the yard by itself but couldn't get it to show inside.  Bottom line is that I just couldn't find a way to get the base to show no matter what I tried.  The best I can offer is a way to hide the open space under the stairs using half walls as shown in the pic below.  I know it's not what you wanted, but it's the best I could come up with short of completely redoing that section of the build. 

    It's a beautiful build and I really like what you've done.  It's obvious that you've spent a lot of time and effort on it.  I'm sorry I couldn't find a way to get it to work the way you want it to.

    Hope this helps.

    @CGrant56 Thank you so much for taking the time to do that - I really appreciate you trying to make it work for me! I will figure something out. Keep an eye out for the finished build in the gallery soon 🙂
    If anyone comes up with a fix until then, let me know!
