No Modular Stairs Next to Wall
Lerf:
OK I just tested this with no hacks,no CC--in fact the entire downloads folder was removed to make sure nothing had crept in under cover of hash numbers. I have all EPs and all Stuff Packs. I do not use the no CD patch. I've only noticed it since M&G Stuff went in, but it may have manifested itself before without my realizing it.
I cannot place modular stairs next to a wall. I can put the wall in afterwards, so it's not a totall disaster, but it's a nuisance.
I've tested this in a house consisting of nothing but a two story cube with no other walls so I know there's nothing blocking it on the first story.
ANy ideas?
Knukleur:
I have no advice, just a "me, too" on noticing this problem last night with the purchased version of M&G and naked of mods awesome or otherwise. Noticed it first trying to build a new lot, thought it might be tight pants and went to bed. Today tried removing/rebuilding stairs I used in both and occupied and unoccupied lots, one with 2 straight runs and one with an L/stage landing and still no go. Game displays a "cannot place step" with arrow pointing to a floor tile a few spaces away from the floor tile that I'm trying to drop the staircase from. Work-around of dropping into the middle of a room away from partitions works, as for Lerf.
EDIT: "moveobjects on" lets me build modular stairs next to walls again. BAAA to SaraMK.
SaraMK:
Does moveobjectson help?
Sigmund:
Oddly enough, I've noticed this same problem as of late too. Move_objects on doesn't appear to do me any good-- I still get the same message. ???
ETA: Okay, just in case anybody else has the same problem I did with move_objects not working (maybe I was just lucky?) exiting and reentering the lot, THEN entering the cheat did the trick for me. Not sure why it mattered, though.
ReRybka:
In my game it seems to be happening at random (meaning I'm incapable of seeing the underlying pattern). I first noticed it after installing M&G, and after fiddling with it for a bit realised that removing walls helped. Still, the problem doesn't arise every time I place modular stairs, and the behaviour isn't even consistent in a particular setting.
The other day I built a house, experienced this bug, removed walls, put in stairs, replaced walls, and moved on to picking wallpapers. After having come up with a colour scheme I decided I wanted to change the stairs, and being lazy I tried to do it without first removing any walls. It worked just fine. All I'd done in between was to apply wallpaper - no exiting lot, no opening cheat console, nothing. Very strange, indeed.
