My sims cant go up stairs

[danuta720]

@Maysbat   In this case, the lack of ceilings is not a mistake. The game is designed in such a way that when you remove a fragment of the floor - a fragment of the ceiling above it is also removed.

I think it would be nice if you could mark the proposed solution back. This will make it easier for other players to fix their homes until the game developers fix the bug.

@Razoriko Oh, I'm sorry, this is not the same house that was mentioned before but this house is problematic too.

@Razoriko I tested in that house also and it can be fixed via the method I mentioned several times in this thread. Good luck!

@crinrictI decided to create a list of all of workarounds for this issue to higlight them bacause in this way all of them will be in one spot:

#1 Delete fence in one spot. Then delete gray tiles that show up. Then add fence again. Note: this fix causing delating ceiling because open space is no longer a room but your sims will be able to use stairs so put on top of it another room to create ceiling.

#2 Add floor on open space. The most simple solutions. Note: gray tiles will be visible but your sims can use stairs.

#3 Add ladder next to the stairs. Note: toddlers, cats and dogs won't use it.

#4 Enable testingcheats true and teleport your sims when you need to. Note: you will have to teleport then in both ways so it might be annoying.

#5 Delate fence in one spot and leave it that way. Note: it won't look safety but sims cannot fall down (in this cause).

#6 Add fence (from Strangerville, Get Famous or Spa Day - they're the lowest) around open space and then delate floor. Note: fence will be visible but sims will be able to use stairs.

If I miss any of workaround let me know.

#7 @DeanXeL made this really helpfull video where you can find easy solution for our problem. So check out it! https://youtu.be/FowpM-3Gdnc

I too have this problem. My sims route fail everytime they try to use the stairs and I see this icon 

also playing with no mods and this never has happened until this patch.

@Maysbat Also thank you for the workarounds! Super helpful!

[crinrict]

@Maysbat THank you. Perfect

@Maysbat You asked if there were any other workarounds... I have added a re-creating the area option and video demonstration for several of the lots mentioned in the thread. It fixed the issue in each of the open stairway areas that I tested.
See workaround point #1
