I really want to make L-shaped stairs in my legacy house but the house is already on a foundation... i read this tutorial: http://www.thesims3.com/contentDetail.html?contentId=48780 (which is great!) but that doesn't start on a foundation...any suggestions?

If you, say, lower the ground on the outside of the house, place a foundation and then a wall on top of that. Use the CFE and drag it in where you want the L corner... the house will look crooked at first, but you can level whatever needs levelling on the second floor after doing it.
Does this make sense at all?
The way in the tutorial isn't the way I have done it. What I would do is somewhere outside the house, lower a bit of terrain two stairs and level out a little area. Place a square of foundation and a wall on the lower part of ground you made. Now, inside your house, build the landing where you want it. Use CFE and level it out from the top of the wall you built outside to the landing. This should give you a half wall. You'll then have to level out the wall of the top level of your house if your other levels got screwed up.
In order to place the stairs (the ones from the landing to the second story), you should leave two empty floor tiles from the landing and then place a floor tile on the second story. This will make it easier to get the stairs to lock where you want them to.

If you want an actual landing (and not floating stairs), the only difference is that you would build a 1x1 room in the corner, place a floor tile on top of the room and then use CFE and level it out.
