Functional Platform Stairs Tutorial - The Sims 4

[@missgalaxia14]

I’m a very novice builder (like I just started making my own sim houses a few days ago) and I’m sticking to simple builds like 1-floor houses and such. But this tutorial and the house you built are so inspiring, I just wanna jump to building complex houses like this. I’m definitely trying this trick and hopefully future tips and tricks you upload! Also, hi from another Danielle!

[@daniellebuilds]

Thank you so much!

[@louisestapleton3546]

Thank you for this. Love building on the sims. This is a great way to create platform stairs. 😀

[@Dilaraa]

i came here from instagram because i wanted to find out how to choose and place multiple plants/stones at the same time and not individually, which i thought you might explain in this video, but i stayed for the entire tutorial (even though i already know how to do platform stairs!) because the way you explain things is just so nice and calming to listen to. i enjoyed this tutorial so much, im gonna go binge watch all your other ones LOL

[@daniellebuilds]

omg aww thank you so much! I actually have a tutorial posted on my TikTok. :) here's the link! www.tiktok.com/@daniellebuilds/video/7100328677392583982?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&lang=en

Thank you so much! I've been wanting to level up my builds and do this for a while but I COULD NOT figure out how! Thanks!

[@PAWsomeCATastrophe]

These look amaziing!! I love them,should try them one day.

[@medusalw]

That was so helpful! Your builds are gorgeous and I love doing interiors but builds have always been my downfall! I might be able to do both thanks to you!!

[@ecemk7519]

you have made the house very beautiful, I would be very happy if you could show me how you made the whole house for those who don't have a gallery

[@tiiaenckell6926]

I dont understand, I am trying with every tutorial available and cant get it to work. Tried building from bottom up with platform tool and got the conflicting block hights error. Then I tried this method top to bottom with room tool and now my platform stairs have foundation edges on them. I am getting frustrated :D

[@melissam7153]

same!! have you found a solution yet? could it be the fact that the plot has different levels?

[@daniellebuilds]

You need to raise the terrain so that it covers the foundation part, or you can put some plants in front of it to cover it. This happens because your house is too tall or your terrain isn’t raised enough to cover the foundation.

[@jolandanvt2379]

But then there is a box the sims can't step over. I still don't get it

[@lysanderrivers3834]

Just randomly landed on your channel- awesome!

[@JenniiCelest]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! This really helped :) I love how you not only explain the basics on how to get it functional, but also how to make it pretty. I was wondering what kind of stony borders you've used for the path leading up to the stairs? I'm really new to the sims 4 so might be a stupid question, but I went ahead and asked it anyway lol

[@daniellebuilds]

Thank you! I used a rock from base game! I size it down using the [ key and rotate it using the keys. Make sure bb.moveobjects is on so you can place them close together!

[@mariahruble9020]

THANK YOU! I have been trying so hard to do this! Thank you for making it make sense. ❤️🏠

[@daniellebuilds]

You are so welcome!

[@vallerieduplessis4736]

Hi, I am trying to build the platform stairs now but for some reason when I lower or rase the separate rooms my whole entire house moves along with it. Is there anyway to fix it😊

[@ralajpg]

love your builds

[@jesscarter2427]

Thanks for this tutorial! Do you have this build on the gallery?

[@BlackDahlia91666]

I was wondering that too

[@Zekushion_]

She said in the video that she has this build on the gallery

[@abigailmarks3324]

How do you do the platform stairs if the house is already on a foundation? Please help I'm STRUGGLING 😅😅😅😅

[@nineeefish]

It’s so helpful,thank you😘😘😘🫶🏻

[@Anna-qq7rw]

Do you have a tutorial on building the house itself? Or a way we can download it

[@1nterctrl]

Are you gunna be uploading to the gallery on sims ?? I would love to try and play with the build looks so fun

[@A-GayPlays]

I'm not sure if you figured this out, but I just figured this out. When you select the walls and it brings up the arrows You can keep clicking on the wall until it says remove wall add half wall or ad fense.

[@daniellebuilds]

hehe yes this video was over 2 years ago, I've since discovered a multitude of new things since then :)

[@l.e.phillips]

Genius! Thank you! Instant follow.😄

[@WhyteNight1_1AM]

Thank you!🎉

[@aunjaijohnson2016]

How do you remove a platform or floor boards my house isn’t functional

[@vince.inthevoid8158]

What pack is the wall paper from I love it

[@clotildeturner8900]

Thank you

[@isabela3507]

My TS4 doesn't have the up and down arrow tool (the one that shows with the move and spin room tool). It doesn't show the way yours do 😥 what can I do? Is that a code for it to appear?

[@daniellebuilds]

There’s no code needed. Did you pirate the game? If so, you can’t have platforms unless you’ve actually bought the game.

[@isabela3507]

@@daniellebuilds No, my game is original, and I downloaded it right from Origin. Don't really know why mine doesn't have this platform tool...

[@daniellebuilds]

@@isabela3507 is your game up to date? And are you running the Legacy edition? If so, you won’t be able to have platforms because the Legacy edition doesn’t receive updates. answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/Why-don-t-I-have-platforms/td-p/10277575

[@superfersi]

Hola, no te pudo encontrar con tu ID en la galería :( que gran trabajo haces

[@torianotfound]

THATS SO PRETTY what is the name on gallery?

[@oOLemonzOo]

What computer do you use? I play on my laptop but it can get laggy when I have too much going on. Just trying to figure out what specs to lookout for if/when I upgrade (:

[@HookerHeels]

Any moderately decent PC can run sims fairly well. Doesn't have to be super expensive top of the line. If you're going with a laptop, it'll end up being a bit higher price wise, but a $500-600 desktop can run sims quite well on max settings.

[@mayanose7875]

I can't find it one the gallery :( Edit: I found it!! "Morderne She'll (updated)"

[@nicolefiish9378]

Gallery?🥺

[@vvriintuyasarantsatsral3908]

[@ИннаГоловатая-с8е]

Дуже цікаво дивитись,у вас приємний голос,але я не знаю англійської мови.Тому буду спостерігати за процесом.Дякую

[@powpow25]

I cant find the house in the gallary 😞

[@Single4ThaNite]

Oh, please help me. I literally googled a question about platforms for this EXACT build which I ofc downloaded from you! It is stunning, I love it lots. But i really need help accessing the ground/"basement level." What thought process did you have for accessing the ground level?!! More platforms with stair connections? A ladder? Is it supposed to be accessible from outside?? Please help, I furnished it almost 60% before i realized there's no way to get down there 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@daniellebuilds]

i uploaded a fixed version of it a while back!

[@Single4ThaNite]

​@daniellebuilds oh shoot lol so I downloaded the wrong one. Okay, ty so much for responding, I can't believe I didn't see this!

[@KathyD66]
