I deleted the stairs, rails and it added back the floor. Then I added the stairs and rails and deleted the open area again and it works again. A pain, especially if you have to do it in every home, but it works til they fix it

I discovered this problem two days ago. My sims who are in a house without CC could not use the stairs. I went to a few other houses and the same thing. The format of the stairs didn't matter. None had an open floor at the top (like a loft-style build). I decided to play my no-cheat save and disabled all CC and Mods in my game with testing cheats off and they work fine in this save. Obviously, this can be related to a mod but for those who don't use them, is having testingcheats and moveobjects on a possible cause?

@IngeJonesMaybe. But in some of mine just adding ceiling over missing ceiling wasn't enough because the "open to below" area of stairs connected to an exterior wall. The workaround caused the game to consider that wall to be not part of a "room" (why is it that in my head I always hear that in an Inspector Clouseau voice?), hence exterior lighting.
In some of my builds, adding the ceiling back above stair well wasn't enough. I've had to go to the ground floor and monkey around with the walls and ceilings there to get the light right on second floor.

Yes I've just noticed that it's happened in the EA/Maxis builds too I was testing something else in the Ward Manor and found out that I couldn't go upstairs! Then came on here for a reason why! So, ME TOO.

I can't believe they haven't fixed this bug yet. It's making playing my main save unbearable. I started a new save just so I could play a broke sim in a house with no stairs and avoid the annoyance. Even so, half my community lots won't work unless I purposely disfigure the builds with ugly workarounds. I've also spent more time building, but I hesitate to upload some of my new lots to the gallery knowing that most people won't be able to use the stairs. You would think a bug this impactful would get top priority and at least a hotfix.

I have had this problem in the Ward Den also, Maxis built-in, game no custom anything, on Xbox.
I have several homes that I have downloaded from the gallery and had no prior issues, now have issues with stairs.
I downloaded a house last night from the gallery and played a couple hours with no issue. Then after returning from traveling, my Sim all of a sudden could not use the stairs anymore. This is my first instance of this occurring while I'm playing and not after update. Nothing was changed, just left the lot and came back to a night on the couch.
