+ Freestanding Winding Stairs

Ok let’s get started. Lots of people were getting confused about how to use the ceilingtrims and how to create
those stairs I made for the picture. In this resource I will let you know how I created the stairs and on the
plus side, you also get to see how I placed the ceilingtrims in the various heights.

Now, you go to the buildsection, Roofs and turn OFF the autoroof.

Next, go to the stairs. Pick any stair and on groundlevel move it down. This will result in a 4 step stair moving
down into the ground like so:

From the lowest point do the same to either the left or right side:

And you might have guessed, from the new lowest point yet another, move this one toward the First one again (as if you are making windingstairs downwards). When done, it should look like this:

That wasn’t too hard was it? Ok now, get the sledgehammer tool and delete the 3 stairs you have just placed. This will leave you just the different heights in the ground

Next up, go to the wall section and create 1x1 rooms on each created level. When done it should look like this:

Go one level up and place floors on each of the rooms. Now, place stairs from the highest to the middle, and from the middle to the lowest like so:

You can now also create a 1x1 room on the main groundlevel and connect from the highest level to the “normal” first floor. After you have done so, you can get that sledgehammer again and delete all walls. What will be left is the winding stairs and the holes in the ground.

You do need to delete the stairs from the lowest level to the ground and go to the builldmode and level the ground. After you have done this, place the stair from the lowest to the ground again. As you can now see, you have windingstairs

This is were the ceilingtrims come in. Before the Ambitions patch, there was no option to recolour the flooredge, now you can choose either to recolour the edge or place the ceilingtrims. I have created them in 4 heights, 4 steps (lowest level), 8 steps (middle level), 12 steps (highest level) and 16 steps (full wall height). You can place them after you have opened the cheatwindow again,



And voila, placeble ceilingtrims!

Ofcourse you can build a room/ house around these stairs, just take note that walls need to be placed OFF the stairs (leave a minimum of 1 tile between the next wall and stairs). Good luck! And happy building!
