Poll: Stealth Stairs
olsen:
I have never used strealt stairs, but have no problems with it stairs are partial broken anyway.
I love the new animated ladder, hope it don't make queues like the standard maxis stairs.
They are broken, if to sims are following each other the second is blocked get angry and decide to do something else.
I have found that elevators actually is easier to fit then stairs because you can place the exit there you want. Else I use the spiral stairs a lot, and the old ladder stars.
If someone could make shorter stairs, a three or even two tiles stairs would still look like stairs but take less room.

I hate these fancy building shit techniques when I want a house to play in. If I go to remodel or add rooms or whatever, I get all these weird glitchy effects because, since someone HAD to have secret stealth stairs and split levels and a fancy roof, floor "2" is really floor 53-and-a-half but only for 3 tiles after which it becomes floor 7-and-three-quarters so you can't build a room there... blech.

Yea, I hear ya -- I have a rather nice little house I downloaded somewhere for a couple that has a 'sun room' in the front. Makes a nice dining room, at least until it started raining and the sim complained about weather in the house. Whoever built the house made some kind of clear glass roof for the sun room that I could just not delete, or put a real roof over. I ended up building a 2nd floor on the sun room and turning it into an atrium to solve the problem. But when those sims move out, the house gets bulldozed.
Ellatrue:
Hmmm... most people making a roof like that would use glass floor tiles and the constrainfloorelevation false cheat. That could be difficult to delete, because it is hard to delete floor tiles that are sloped or at some sort of angle. However, floor tiles should keep out weather.
Did this lot use CC? Did the glass roof look like a curved half circle, with white ribbing? In that case, I think what you have is a custom fence that is shaped to look like a curved glass roof. I don't remember the site, but someone listed it in the Best of the Best CC thread... maybe I can find it for you later. So, if that's the case, I think you can use the wall or fence tool to delete it, if you delete along the inner edge of the "roof."
Eaglezero, would you like stealth stairs if they just came with a downloaded house, and you didn't have to make them yourself?
Zazazu:
I have that fence. Love it, but yeah, it's not waterproof, and anyone designing a house who has Seasons should know better. I believe the original fence file is from 4ESF. I use it to make half-moon sculptural thingies in some of my mini parks.
Just tried Targa's ascention pads as I have a bit of an odd 'hood I'm playing at the moment (short attention span attacks). Quite nice, but I couldn't imagine using them in anything but a mod or cyber 'hood. Mine, Crater City, is kind of mod with human townies and "alien" playables using Enayla's fantasy skins.
