Sorry if I've missed it but I've literally been looking for hours (what is more frustrating is that I've actually done this before but I can't replicate it). I'm trying to create an open plan "U" shaped staircase that traverses up 3 stories (using fences to create room and remove floor). However, I can't place the second staircase above the first because it won't let me place is over the "open" space (it's fine if I don't remove the floor but that's not achieving the look I'm after)

Open the spaces after all of the stairs are in place.
You may also have better luck working down, as opposed to up.

You don’t have to be sorry at all! There may be simmers who can help you on the other thread.

I don't know if this is the right thread. but I have seen someone using this item but i can't find it on my game even using debug cheats (bb.showhiddenobjects). Maybe I just missed it, but I have already re-trying to find it several time from the top (show all)

- This item used on Willow Creek (not on lot) so i assume base game item only (?)
- According to save game I have downloaded the item name is **DEBUG**

Taoron · November 2019

Use the bb.showhiddenobjects and then bb.showliveeditobjects and then search for 'debug'. If you scroll down, once it gets all of the debug items located, you will find them and others like it. @Womble

@Taoron i found it! it such a long scroll but worth it, thank you so much!

Taoron · November 2019

Okay...maybe an odd question. Does anyone know if it is at all possible to 'sink' the Gable End named Ahhhh-ning' into the roof, so that it does not have to stick out very far when you size it, but still get those nice crossbeams to show? At one size up, I have to extand my gables 4 spaces and it looks goofy. I've tried to place it with the roof set back, but when you bring the roof back into place, it follows it.

Will editing under normal build mode and giving console university dorms a badly needed redecorating effect game play? The furniture is so ugly and low quality.

Hello @sooozeeebeee
I don’t play the console version so am unable to help you, but perhaps if you post in the console section of the forums there may be a console player that can help you

This is awesome! I’m too lazy to go back through all your links, so do you have any tips for the exterior of houses? Because mine have been looking sloppy lately.

Hello @Blackhelmetman

It may be good to download homes from the gallery and look to see how the builders do the exterior of their homes.
This link may also help

Blackhelmetman · December 2019

Thank you! I will definitely take a look.

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but how do y'all write good descriptions for the gallery? Mine just ends up sounding generic and displeasing.

Another great place to find tutorials is youtube, I have watched a bunch over the past month or so, the best ones are these but you can just do a search for Sims4 tutorials. (Even watching the Let's builds and Speed Builds can give you ideas.)
