For anyone still playing sims 3, you can mask the warped wall with panelling. Use the ones that are full wooden walls. It hides it so well you can't see the warped wall at all.

LJ Evans I don't own the sims 4 (and probably wont for a few years, til they iron out the bugs and add more content) but Ive seen some gameplay videos, I think it might be possible to make those types of staircases, because the walls have 3 heights now, maybe you can't slant the walls, but you can raise them around the staircase

As far as I know, to do a walk-out basement, you have to use TS2 basement building and not the basement tool. You have to build your house on a foundation and then level the back to basement floor level, remove the foundation back to just a 1 tile edge around the "basement" parts and then place a wall where the ground is at basement level. Check TS2 walkout basement tutorials. As for the stairs, you'll have to fudge around with adding a 1 tile room that you can adjust the height. Again check TS2

I freaked out yesterday while trying to make L-shaped stairs. Ended up with regular stairs. After your tutorial I see my mistake: i put walls by perimeter of the "mid-platform". They were getting crooked when i wanted to even the wall height upstairs, unless i left a spacious hole in the "ceiling" around the staircase. Got to go for another try! Let me see if i can build L-staicase which platform is not in the middle of the wall, but 1/3...

While this is a great tutorial, unfortunately, it still doesn't solve my problem of how to build a U-shaped stairwell inside a house. This works if the stairs are going to be on the outer wall of a building, but if the staircase is in the heart of the house, and has walls around it for other rooms (say a laundry room), this won't work.

I've a question. In the first example, the outdoor wall was misformed and i understand how you can hide that. But in my house the misformed wall is indoors (now i get that if i want to hide it, i have to place blanc wallpaper or something like that). But when i try to lay floorboard on the first floor it wont let me place any near the missformd walls. As you can also see in the first example in the video. Is there a solution for this problem?
