(I debated for a while whether to make this into a Fishmas gift, but as I'm still not 100% sure which EPs are required, I'd rather that you know what you're about to download first!) ![Blush]( "Blush")
I really like the look of the default non-connecting stairs, but actually never use them because of the pathing issue -- you know, that arm-waving thing when a sim realises they can't go upstairs because someone else is already using the stairs? Well, no more, I say!
These are the same old Base Game Stare Steppers, now with less arm-waving. As pictured, more than one sim can use them at the same time, in the same direction. Upstairs, downstairs, with arms up, with arms down!
What sort of tomfoolery is this, I hear you say? It's a trick. These aren't really stairs -- they're just step covers. Yep, that's right, a glorified hologram. And your sims will pay through the nose for it.
Usage:
- Build a modular stair using Numenor's deck stairs
- Place the fake Stare Steppers over the modular stairs
- Recolour the modular stair with the invisible recolour
- Do yourself a favour: if you ever decide to move the stairs, make sure you recolour the modular stairs to something visible first, or you might forget they're even there!
The fake stairs will take the recolours of the Base Game ones.
Category: Build / Staircases
Cost: 1150 simoleons. In practice, it's more expensive than just the normal Stare Steppers -- but hey, the "less arm-waving" functionality comes at a cost!
Included:
- The fake BG Stare Steppers
- Invisible recolour for Numenor's recolourable wooden modular stairs
- Extra: a new recolour of the BG Stare Steppers (the coffee one shown in two of the screenshots). It's nothing to phone home about, but I needed to test a custom recolour to see if it worked. Might as well include it!
Required, but not included:
Numenor's Recolourable wooden modular stairs: http://modthesims.info/d/53159
Compatibility:
That's a 10 simoleon question. I've cloned the Base Game Stare Steppers with only the BG and Nightlife on. I suspect these stepcovers are compatible with any combination of BG + 1EP (required for the rug semi-global). However, I have the Ultimate Collection, which means I can't use Any Game Starter -- so I have no way to confirm this. I would appreciate if someone could get back to me and confirm the compatibility of this object.
Known issues:
- The railings are fixed. I.e. they take recolours all right, but they can't be removed or added like with normal stairs. I'm working on this -- but it involves torturing BHAVs in a way I'm not quite knowledgeable enough to do yet.
Thank you to Lee, Boiling Oil and Gummilutt for helping me sussing it out!
