Stair Rails 'Popping' through Walls and Windows (Patch 1.73)

I added one EP, For Rent, so now I'm playing with only BG+FR for getting familiar with Residential Rental system in Build/Buy Mode.
One thing I found, one of the stair rails added from FR EP is through the wall.

I thought at one point this visual glitch had been fixed, but after checking the archives it appears the thread is still open.
I didn't check the stair rails in the base game because I thought they were already fixed. I'll enable all addons and check later.

    Please, just make it so you add railings to each side independently. This will fix the problem and give builders a lot more flexibility. I hate not being able to put windows next to my stairwells (you know, one of the most ubiquitous architectural features of any building) because the stupid handrail is poking through the glass out of nowhere, and that's an issue with all of the railings, not just the thick ones. 

  • Because, I just added railing to my stairs and they are only on one side of the stairs and not both sides

    Oh, now I need to remove some stairs in one of my builds just to add them again to see if I get the same results. I do hope so! I'm so very tired of having to alter the build plans just to scoot the stairs over a bit so they don't bleed through the wall into the dining room.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

    Oooh that would be so great! I have to open my game and check 😁

    // Aww unfortunately it isn't fixed in my game. I checked a couple of builds and the castle kit railing still goes through the walls 😥

    They already tried to fix this before and it came back so I wonder if it would be easier (for lack of a better word) to just make the left/right railing separate placements.

  • For some reason if I am playing in a house with stairs or fences, they keep clipping with the wall. This also happens when I have cutaway walls, I noticed that the roof/ceiling clips with the wall and it has a constant flash in the wall that won't stop. My stairs also completely go invisible sometimes? I've asked a few others and they say they are experiencing this too. It's nothing major, but it does get very annoying when I see flashes of my roof clipping with the walls for no reason.
