Sims can't go upstairs

I attached some photos of the build, but my sims will not go upstairs no matter what I try. I've deleted walls, railings, decorations, ie, and re-did the stairs themselves but my sims still won't go ...

    If the stairs work in a vanilla game and don't work when you have CC in, what that means to me is that you have a bad or broken CC item causing the problem.  I have downloaded bad CC before and I have had other CC that got broken by an update.  So, you really need to hunt it down and remove it from your mods folder.  Otherwise, it will cause you more problems in the future.  Given that your game seems to be working normally other than this one thing, it will be hard to find.  You can try the 50/50 method or try things one at the time until you find the item causing the problem.  It depends on how much CC you have how you go about it. 

    Hope this helps.

So I tried what you suggested with both my modified version and the original creators version, and both worked when I took out the custom content. I saved the vanilla lots and loaded it into my original game with CC and it still worked, but the stairs were still an issue when I loaded in the original CC lots. That being said, I think you’re right about invisible CC blocking the path, but I’m not sure how to get rid of it. 

I repaired the game (didn’t work) and then tried to click the entire area around the stairs to see if I could select/delete any hidden objects but that didn’t work either. I tried looking at other forums to see if there was a cheat for revealing invisible objects or obstacles, but I only found a stuck object remover mod that sadly no longer works. 

Also, I’m not quite sure why the stairs didn’t load for you. The build used base game stairs haha. But I did replace them with a different set of stairs too (just in case) that didn’t work either. 

Thank you again for the help!!
