Since there's no option to vote for the unawesome who have no idea what the heck they are, I abstain. :D

"Stealth stairs" are a the result of a building technique using boolprop constrainfloorelevation false, allowing builders to make a short, one-tiled stairway to the floor above with modular stairs (rather than using the usual 4 tiles). Lots of people use this technique to create "elevators" without OFB.

I love them, but I've been strongly warned not to use them since I used them in the building contest. Since then I've been looking for a 12-step program. Pescado said a 16-step program was needed, but I reminded him that stealth stairs actually have 4 steps already. ;) I guess I can just use Targa's stairs in small spaces. Honestly, I will probably continue using stealth stairs. I'll just be stealthy and only use them in houses I actually play -- and not upload anymore houses with them unless I include a warning.
ZiggyDoodle:
Yeah, I had read the description, Venusy, but still hit the wall when trying to visualize a set (too much multitasking here at work).
Did check out Targa's stairs at MTS2. Certainly different. Do like her ladders, though.
Gwill:
Speaking of Targa's stairs. They haven't been updated for Pets. Dogs and cats do use them, but the animations are really borked. I'm not fond of that bit.
Ellatrue:
I like Targa's ladders a lot, too, but when it comes to uploading houses I'd rather not include them because it helps to minimize the custom content. Stealth stairs don't require anyone to download anything.
Plus, sometimes a ladder doesn't seem appropriate for a house, and the stealth stairs still seem to me like a small staircase. Either that or it's like, don't even try, and accepting that it won't be realistic, whereas the ladder is sort of a weird half-solution.
