issues with Mansions & gardens
nwkitty:
ok, I'll take that into consideration! but as of yet, knock on wood, I've not had any issues. But thanks for the heads up
Jelenedra:
I never had issues with SecuROM either, I just don't like illegally installed malware on my computer.

I can not get any of the straight stairs, either custom content or EA made to play in my game.
I'm in a good mood, so I've given you a hint. Use it well, grasshopper...

So I did a search on "stairs" for you, because I'm nice and I've been having some stairs problems of my own (I hardly ever use regular stairs: I love me some modulars, though). I always have to knock out a wall or use moveobjects on to get modular stairs where I want them these days. Also, the amount of space that stairs take has increased by a tile, which is annoying. I used to put a fence railing around the stairs at the top, and it only took three tiles, the same as the length of the hole in the floor. Now I have to leave a five or six tile hole in order to get modulat stairs to place, though I can fill in all but the three tiles after: but a railing has to enclose four tiles. Annoying, but liveable.
I think you get "out of range" when the game has decided that the ground is uneven, even though I don't think that is what "out of range" means. Like it thinks you're trying to place it with part of it hanging off the end of a foundation, or on a slope. You could try re-leveling the area the stairs are going in to, and clearing walls and floors away.
Here are the forum references I found for stairs and M&G (be patient, I don't think either of them directly deal with your problem but the discussion might help you think about the problem you have):

The third one was this thread, and then most of the others were idle chat about who's upstairs and who's downstairs.
jsalemi: if you're thinking taking out all the custom stairs will solve the problem, I think it's always worth a try but I don't think that's it.
nwkitty:
well, no, that isn't it either. i went back to other houses that i've played in the past, got the same error msg, and wound up deleting the stairs just to get into the house. minus the stairs in the house. I think it is going to take un-installing M&G. playing the game and then seeing whether that is the problem. I just hate going backwards to fix a problem. but thanks for the thought!
