@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.

@evanmwogrin 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.

@evanmwogrin 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.

No Stair Wall Base with PlatformPlease help!I am trying to attach stairs to a platform, but no matter what I do, every time I try to place it, the wall base under the stairs disappears. (See photos, one shows that no wall is added when I place the stair or try to place a wallpaper on the stair. The other photo shows a stair where I was able to place a wallpaper.I have tried every type of stair. I have tried applying a wallpaper. I have tried repairing my game.I know it is possible to attach a stair to a platform with the base wall included, I’ve seen it before and done it before.Can someone help walk me through what the problem could be, please?

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

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.

@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.

@evanmwogrin Sorry, my mistake.

On your second picture, the Stair has a wall attatched.

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.
