    Help with split level stairs

    in The Sims 3 Builders
    Right, I've managed to create the L-shaped stairs I want but due to lack of space in the house I'm building, they are not functional. I've posted some screen shots, I wonder if anyone could give me any tips as to how I can edit them to be fully functional, without impacting on the space?

    Thanks in advance

      This is kind of the idea that I want, so if anyone knows of any CC like this if using CFE is not doable then please let me know

      So you can see with a corner stair rather than a landing space it would take up one less square (4 squares in sims rather than 5).

      the way you are doing them is slightly off the top set of stairs needs to have 1 full tile at the connection to the lower set of stairs to be functional. from your screenshots simply move the door one space left and remake the upper half of the stairs

      Good eye! I looked and looked and couldn't catch what was wrong :roll:

      Okay, I've sorted that bit now, thanks.

      New problem - because the bottom set of stairs is 10 stairs high (so 2 and a half grid squares) it won't create the wall under the stairs. Is there any way to accomplish this using CFE instead? I have searched and searched and could find anything, which I though was odd as I remember doing this in TS2 so you could paint the wall as they weren't recolourable back then.

      Not sure on the answer to this but I'm giving you a bump in the hopes that you find one! :D
