After waiting patiently for almost twenty years I was finally able to create this! My childhood nostalgia is crying with joy right now (it's not entirely accurate and I had to take some creative license with it because of the limitations with the railings - hopefully the devs will hear the feedback and do something about them)
My childhood!!
If anyone has used the new stair tools, do they work the same is if the stairs are normal in terms of the speed of the sims going up and down them. At first glance, to me, it looks like it would take the sims longer to get up the stairs in those weird shapes? I'm curious if it changes their speed or not.
Kate Emerald on YT has a video up to "kind of" make spiral stairs if y'all are interested. They obviously dont spiral but she found a work around to have them stack on top each other.

OH MY GOD SO MANY MEMORIES
IKR! So many times I swan dived off that bad boy staircase - it's iconic! When I heard about this update I just knew it would be the first thing I made with it. I'm going to be building the entire lot and will probably upload to the gallery at some point. Glass roof for the pool area? Check. Adjustable foundations for the assault course? Check. Configurable stairs? CHECK!!!

Is this the house from the Mario game?
No it's Croft Manor from Tomb Raider 3! I've been wanting to build this house in the Sims since I was a kid but no other Sims game was able to deliver without using cheats or workarounds which I could never quite get the hang of so this update has actually been able to fulfil something on my bucket list
first impressions? I am so excited to make builds but I totally blanked out because I realized all this time I've been building houses where i don't need cool stairs to avoid the problem of not having them but now that I have them I'm just sitting here like "so what I was going to do again"
I might need to create new house just for the mighty stairs

I've been staring at this picture for 5 minutes trying to figure out how you did that! I want to recreate it but I honestly don't think I can lol. Would it be possible for you to upload it to the gallery? (Just the way it is in the pic) if not its ok! Sorry to be annoying
I hadn't really tried it out as my game froze earlier, was out for a little bit and have to get up early tomorrow; but I tried messing with it a little bit.
I don't have any complaints as I never use really out there stairs as I never see anything like that; but I turned part of the stairs before going up the next steps. I usually only see stairs like that in some hotels. I guess when you live in small a desert area all your life, you don't really see many types of stairs often, so I didn't really get all excited or care that much as I didn't really notice many types.
I have been going through a few of the houses in my game save, and working on changing out the old-style staircases for this new ability. I forgot to take a before picture but here are a couple after.
I love the new stair tools. With the editable terrain and now these stair tools, I think build mode has finally caught up to or even surpassed previous versions now. Not having to use clunky cheats is a big win - and it's so much easier now!!

@LaBlue0314 Am I seeing things, or does your second picture have L-shaped staircases that have walls under the lower half of the stairs but are open beneath the upper half? I didn't think that was possible.
Nevermind, they're completely enclosed! Guess it was an optical illusion.
I'm a bit disappointed you can't stack U-shaped stairs on each other like how the stairs in an apartment or indoor fire escape would be. It's a step in the right direction though.

Uh-oh! Spaghetti-oh! I didn't save it as it was only meant to be a proof of concept thing but I can definitely redo and upload. I will be remaking the entire house too but I'll most likely Simmify it a bit in terms of scaling and decor (make it a bit more realistic) and I want to fit the grounds in too now all I have to do is wait for motorbikes/quadbikes!

I don't know if there was a little patch for this (because I notice the unrelated column issue appears to be fixed now) or I've been doing it wrong before, but I can now stack U-shaped stairs on top of each other. For some reason it only works when you have the grid enabled, otherwise you can't place the stairs. Anyways, this is very cool, this is what I wanted.
edit: @crysk oh yeah like that, I didn't see your comment. I guess I must've been doing it wrong when I tried it before.

It's a brand new thing, so there are bound to be a few bugs with it. I'm sure it will be patched through and cleaned up in the coming weeks and months.

You mean like this?
I did this, but what killed me was I was having such a hard time putting fencing around the stairs. Plus the shape of the flooring was weird. Then I kept having weird holes in the floors even after the stairs were deleted (probably due to me messing with fencing) and even of I tried to repair it by placing the floor base in the wall build mode. Siiiiigh. I just really wish we could put fencing under all stairs with bb.moveobjects without the stairs being deleted. Because many fences were short enough that it worked anyways.
I played around for about two hours then quit without saving so I didn't ruin my build. I should have saved the lot to the gallery before I started, because I do not know if MCCC auto saved.... Does MCCC auto save in build mode?
ANYWAYS, still super excited about them. I'll have to hassle with it more this weekend to make it work.

I think we lost the ability to have a landing on a round deck though. So, not thrilled about that.

Lets make this a reality!
My first reaction too! Wheeee!

It looks sort of like LEGO but also hey, 4x4 tiny build
