Hello, I have found a bug (probably) that when I want to build a terrace, using the second floor, I can't build a roof above it because my sim can't walk there (If I click that place there is no option to go there)

@PlumbobHouse 

I have a question/clarification. In my test I used the shortest height wall and no foundation on the first floor, yet the staircase was 12 steps high. In your screenshot you only have/need 6 steps. Can you please share a description of how you managed that height for the removed first floor? Or could you please share your lot to the community gallery so I can test it in my game? If you add it to the gallery please then let me know and share with me the exact name of the lot (something like 'terrace test') along with your user "EA ID""  (Or you could share a direct link to the upload in the Community Gallery (browser) area. https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery Thank you!

I have build the same thing again and have noticed that the room has to be less than 8 steps high to reproduce the issue.

@PlumbobHouse Thank you. I also was able to confirm that with less than 8 steps the sim could not route to the porch. So... the workaround for this issue is to edit the build so that there is an 8-stem or more entrance to the porch/terrace.

You can change the hight of the room without the first floor. The "cube" that controls foundation hight is available if you click any room you want to change high of.

@PlumbobHouse Ahhh... that makes complete sense. I have never adjusted a foundation downward and would have assumed that even if I could it would cause issues. So... unfortunately that possibility didn't occur to me until I experimented a bit on yours (and obviously the only experimenting I did was to adjust the height of a floor below Embarrassed). Not having the best day over here. Thanks for your patience.
