I have been reconsidering my harbour in Fenbury. The terrain is rather steep and when I initially tested it in game the sim walked straight off the cliff rather than down the slope which is currently the only way to get to the harbour. I have seen somewhere an image of a harbour with shallow steps leading down to it and reckon that might be a better way to go. I still have the routing to sort out so now would be an ideal time to try.
The trouble I'm having is finding some up to date instructions on how to build stairs into the terrain. I have seen pictures of it done in other custom worlds so I assume it is possible. I believe I have to create a lot and place the stairs within the lot. I understand there may be routing issues but I have those anyway. I believe it is also best to take a sidewalk as close as possible to the stairs to encourage the sim to use them.
Any help or tips would be gratefully received.

You can kind of see how it will work with 'show routing data' toggled on after you rebuild the routing in CAW. Once you have the major areas of your world finished, It's better to just export an alpha version of the world and test out sims running amuck with the game speed turned up in game and wait for nraas overwatch reports of stuck sims to see if your basic routing is good before going forward. It's better to find routing problems early so you won't need to redo decorations or street layouts later on.
For building the actual stairs, holding down alt when using EIG will make the staircase exactly the height it needs to be to reach the next level, so it's easier to make terraced staircases on cliffs.
I hope this was helpful.
