Proper stairs?
Simius:
Speaking of split levels, I hate that all of EA's houses are on foundations. One of my sims was looking to buy a new home and found a bunch without garages or even driveways. So I kept looking and found a few with detached garages. Finally I found one with an attached garage. Yay! Not so fast, after buying it I found out it wasn't really a garage. Just a driveway with 3 walls around it on foundations so it looked like a proper garage. But the entrance was open with no garage door. I used a tutorial similar to the one above to convert it into a garage with 4 walls and a garage door attached to the house. Then today I was trying to add a stair case to go down a new basement in a premade house with a foundation. But I had to basically tear down a quarter of the house to add the stairs since they can't be added next to foundations and whatnot. (Even though you can later add foundations to be next to stairs, go figure).
So yeah, their house making stuff isn't designed all that well. Although the fact that they added basements is vast improvement from before.

Flabaliki over at Sim Supply has made a few really awesome and easy to follow tutorials on connecting garages to houses built on foundations. I think there is also a tutorial on stairs. Try this one: http://thesimsupply.com/showthread.php?tid=38
If I can do it, anyone can...

I think what you mean is like spiral staircases, staircases that bend at angles, and staircases that at the bottom has another next to it going in the opposite direction to the next level?
Yes, the one in the first picture. Its correct you can make them if you arrange for the platform to be in a corner of a house. Otherwise you end up with this:
However, if it was a static object to be placed this wouldn´t be a problem. Or like in one of the EPs for S2 there was a "stage" object that could be placed on top of a foundation. That would probably be more handy. Kinda like 3 objects 1/4, 2/4 and 3/4 of a floor in height, that would allow stairs to be placed from them, but Since this was never made for S2 I thought maybe a stair object would be easier to make.

I seem to remember the Vole mentioning a "place friezes" cheat that allows you to stack foundations, but I've not personally tried it. Also: Vole.
Drakron:
Friezes can be stacked but they are not foundations, they are unsuitable for stairs placement due to their height.
