Staircases in ''The Sims'' consist largely of straight, one-piece stairs of a fixed height. As houses cannot be higher than two stories, staircases are only ever used to connect the first storey with the second storey. Only one Sim at a time can use a staircase, even if multiple Sims are travelling in the same direction. It is not unheard of for staircases in ''The Sims'' to get "stuck", and become unusable because the game considers them to be in use. The only way to fix this is to use the [[Moveobjects|move_objects]] [[The Sims/cheats|cheat]] to delete the stairs, then buy new stairs.
 
Spiral staircases were never introduced in ''The Sims'', although ''[[The Sims: House Party|House Party]]'' includes the '''Anti-Heisenberg Teleporter''', which can be considered a type of [[elevator]]. The teleporter has a one-tile footprint and can be used to "teleport" Sims between floors. Players should note that [[dog]]s and [[cat]]s cannot use the teleporter or any [[custom content]] based on it.
 
Spiral stairs were introduced in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed|Unleashed]]''.
 
A sweeping staircase which goes through a 90-degree curve from top to bottom and has a 4x3 footprint was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]''. It can also be downloaded from [http://simechoes.org/simechoes1/maxis/objects/objects.html SimEchoes].

==The Sims 4==
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', the length of a staircase is based on the height of thea building's walls (or the height of a foundation, if it is attached to one). Staircases can have different types of railings, but are restricted on both sides. Staircases can also be pushed and pulled sideways to be as long as the lot itself. Any wallpaper can be added on to a staircase and the base can be removed with the sledgehammer tool. ''The Sims 4'' doesn't currently have spiral staircases.
 
 
In [[The Sims 4/Patch 84|patch 84]], stairs are configurable through the use of an additional widget, which allows the player to bend a staircase in any direction, allowing for the creation of L-shaped, T-shaped, and U-shaped staircases. There is a minimum of four steps between landings, dependent on the size of the staircase. The height and length of stair sections can then be modified by dragging the arrows from the object for the desired result. Staircases can go in multiple directions provided there is room.
 
[[The Sims 4/Patch 95|Patch 95]] added a ladder to the base game as a space-saving alternative to stairs. It takes up a single tile of space, and can be placed both indoors and outdoors.
In [[The Sims 4/Patch 84|Patch 84]], stairs are now configurable through the use of an additional indicator which can rotate the stair direction giving the option for a L shaped staircase, a T shaped staircase, and a U shaped staircase. There is a max of four steps inbetween each turning of the staircase and a platform dependant on the stair size.
