      Because there's no bullet-proof... proof... yet. And maybe they try to hold their expectations in case it goes with some awful twist as the ocean ladder in IL.

      I've noticed that :D But I'm squashing down my hopes (well, trying to and failing miserably) just in case it doesn't come to be just yet.

      @Gordy thanks for posting SimGuru Ninja's Tweet that spiral staircases won't be a feature of RoM or its pre-release patch!

      @SimGuruNinja thanks for the straight answer! Would be awesome~ if we could build with space-saving 2x2 staircases though

      Wouldn’t be surprised if the run around here is nothing more than mouth service to avoid having to say no. Not saying the pack looks bad, but there were no spiral stairs in the trailer and i don’t see why they need to play games when a simple yes or no works just fine. Unless you’re trying to avoid the fallout from the no, which this studio does kind of a lot.

      My prediction: no spiral stairs.

      I hope it's coming!! Not really a spiral stairs enthusiast, but I'd really love for it to come back.

      Been hoping for space-saving spiral staircases which utilize a 2x2 block of space on the grid (unlike traditional stairs that use up lots of space depending on desired width and height of build).

      And, if spiral staircases are to be introduced into TS4 soon, I believe the team would patch them through for base game prior to RoM's release because the aesthetic could fit wizardry quite well; take hope in that TS4 team heard the disappointment over releasing laptop lookalike devices only for Strangerville and delivered a base game-wide patch after Strangerville's release so all players now have access to the asset :D! Appreciate how TS4 team is stepping up to learn from past decisions (even if, in this case, spiral staircases won't be brought to the game--just yet--still hopeful :)).

      As much as I'd personally love to see the return of spiral stairs, I think I'll wait for more official confirmation about them.

      Yes, there will be spiral stairs. The twist: only young adults can use them.

      Or they'll teleport from the ground floor to the top floor, elevator style B)

      I wouldn't be surprised. I thought a magic peak would be the best fit for them.

      I thought GTW was the best fit for them, you know, winding stairs going up and up and up into a loft for a mad scientist or down and down and down to a lab then again elevators would have worked there into the deep, mysterious basement of a building where aliens are used for experiments or vice versa.

      If they come they'll probably be in the September Patch.

      I feel like they just would have said yes if there were. They said yes to a whole bunch of other questions.

      Well, they might come this year, next year or the next. They might have it planned out but not for this pack or the next. The Guru didn't say when or even if did he? :|

      I think that depends. They were probably allowed to answer pack-specific questions but with limitations so they don't give away everything. If there's a change coming to base game (which there would need to be, for something like this), it might still be a case of not being allowed to discuss it publically yet.

      If spiral stairs are coming, I hope they do like lounge chairs and put one in a free patch.

      Someone on Twitter also noticed one of the houses in Glimmerbrook had a driveway.

      By the way he responded it really sounds like that there are going to be new stairtypes in the pre-patch.

      That's probably the reason we haven't seen them yet in the trailer because they're a base game update.

      I kinda hope they will add a custom stairs tool so we can make stair landings and U/L shaped stairs.

      Honestly I'd prefer any way to move to upper floor without building a staircase that takes 5 to 8 squares :)
