Sims 2 deck steps

Zombies Plants vs. Zombies 2 Plants vs. Zombies Heroes Other Plants vs. May So I make a foundation and now I'm trying to add stairs so my sims can go in and out. The stairs are huge and they won't "automatically adjust" to the foundation. I've tried rotating them every which way and it still won't work. Me too. Message 1 of 5 46, Views. Re: Help building Porch stairs? Phantomlover 7. May Try finishing the walls, so the room behind it is an actual room.

Message 2 of 5 46, Views. May Jumpies13 , do what Phantomlover advised, but if that still doesn't work you could always build the foundation out in front of the door a square or two and then add the stairs to those squares -- that usually works for me! Message 3 of 5 46, Views. May Jumpies13 I personally have my house on stilts and the stairs adjusted to them. Message 4 of 5 27, Views. May Hi all. As houses cannot be higher than two stories, staircases are only ever used to connect the first storey with the second storey.

Only one Sim at a time can use a staircase, even if multiple Sims are travelling in the same direction. It is not unheard of for staircases in The Sims to get "stuck", and become unusable because the game considers them to be in use. House Party includes the Anti-Heisenberg Teleporter , which can be considered a type of elevator. The teleporter has a one-tile footprint and can be used to "teleport" Sims between floors. Players should note that dogs and cats cannot use the teleporter or any custom content based on it.

Spiral stairs were introduced in Unleashed. A sweeping staircase which goes through a degree curve from top to bottom and has a 4x3 footprint was introduced in The Sims: Makin' Magic. It can also be downloaded from SimEchoes. Unlike later games, players can manually command Sims to use the stairs.

This is usually not necessary, as Sims will use the stairs automatically to get to their destination, although it can be used to ensure that a Sim uses a specific staircase.

In addition to the basic staircases, The Sims 2 adds modular stairs with matching side railings. Modular stairs can be used on uneven terrain at almost any height, though their normal height is the same as that of the foundation. Pricing for modular stairs is unusual, as the price given in the catalog is not the price for a basic 4-step unit.

Instead, it is the price for each step , so the cost of a 4-step unit needed to reach the ground from a foundation or deck is four times the catalog price. Modular stairs can also connect two floors in a building. To do this, leave a 1x4 space in the upper level's floor. Place a modular stair so that it points into that space, and it will automatically extend down to the lower level.

Four modular stair units equals the height of one regular staircase, so the cost will be 16 times the catalog price. This is done by clicking the railing tool, then clicking the side of the stairs where the railing should be placed. In The Sims 2 , several Sims can use a staircase at the same time, though there are still some limits. The basic rule is that one Sim can go up a staircase while another is going down it.

The player can increase the number of Sims that can use a staircase at one time by placing staircases side-by-side. Staircases placed side-by-side will automatically connect, making a wider staircase. Modular stairs are somewhat different, because each section is considered a separate object; only the ones that a Sim is actually on are considered to be in use. So, if modular stairs are used to connect two floors of a building, up to three Sims can go up or down them at the same time, as long as each one is on a different section.

If Apartment Life is installed, children and teenagers may occasionally slide down the railings when going down a spiral staircase. In The Sims 3 , staircases are able to be any length the player wishes. Unlike previous games, staircases can have railing that is of a different style from the actual staircase, and the railing can be only on one side.

A tool in the staircase placing tool allows for multiple staircases to be placed side by side quickly and easily. Multiple Sims can use the staircase, as in The Sims 2.

The Sims 3: Generations also allows spiral staircases to be used on a lot. Patch 55 also added a spiral staircase and ladders, which are more compact and take up less space.

In The Sims 4 , the length of a staircase is based on the height of a building's walls or the height of a foundation, if it is attached to one. Staircases can have different types of railings, but are restricted on both sides. Staircases can also be pushed and pulled sideways to be as long as the lot itself.

Any wallpaper can be added on to a staircase and the base can be removed with the sledgehammer tool. The Sims 4 doesn't currently have spiral staircases. In patch 84 , stairs are configurable through the use of an additional widget, which allows the player to bend a staircase in any direction, allowing for the creation of L-shaped, T-shaped, and U-shaped staircases.
