Can't place modular stairs

Barely ever, and it is true that you cannot slide down modular stairs. Only placed ones.
wasn't arguing that, just that their added coolness of sliding down the banisters on the other stairs may have something to do with the now brokenness of placing stairs that do not even have this feature. Kind of like breaking the piano or primp, or any of the other things that are broken in every EP or SP.

Probably. I am finding I am using the spiral stairs more and more now though, and only using the modular ones on the foundation. It just pisses me off that stupid EA keeps breaking stuff! I've noticed it has become almost impossible to place windows when there is a roof on the floor below, such as on a fake bay window. I used to be able to place them easily! This game infuriates me! >:(
J. M. Pescado:
Spiral stairs have several advantages over modular stairs: They have better "flow control", in that they are much less likely to jam and cause a route failure when large groups of sims are using them. They also have a smaller tile footprint, although not necessarily a better one. However, they achieve this with fixed travel speeds, and are unidirectional only.me
Compared to elevators, they occupy the same footprint and cause MUCH fewer jams and collision, with comparable short-distance travel speeds, as elevators are always on the wrong floor. Elevators, however, are curiously omnidirectional, with people able to travel in opposite directions simultaneously.
Jelenedra:
It is dumb that you can't run on the spiral stairs... Too bad no one could fix that.

Oh good, it's not just me! Is there any workaround for this? It doesn't seem to matter if the roof below is shallow or steep. The second storey walls refuse to take windows of any size. I've resorted to building all my shells in another game installation, but it's damn annoying if I need to edit some part of the building later. Is there a better way?
