Can’t delete stairs?

[Papay]

I don’t know what happened but there are some stairs that i build on my sims home and i cannot delete it even with a sledgehammer. Everytime i deleted it, it delete the other existing stairs and not the one that i clicked. My sims can’t even walk past it. Any idea why?

And for the love of god please fix these dang bugs. We literally paid 40$ for these 😭

I found the way to somehow fix the problem, only tried this on my own sims home though.

All you have to do is, Shift+Ctrl+C to open cheat tab and type boolProp testingcheatsenabled true then Shift+Click on the object you want to delete and click 'Force Error' bubble and delete it!

Hope it helps deleting the annoying stairs bug for a while until EA fix those bugs hopefully! <3

So this only works for a bit and also gets really annoying if you're using the other type of stairs with the one tool.

With those stairs, you have to delete EACH AND EVERY step before being able to place those stairs back down. To make that matter worse, I have been seeing this issue pop back up on reloading back into the game, so this appears to be a very temporary fix.

This is about up there with the issue with the Sims disappearing from a household on load issue or the one regarding food tokens causing a sim to be unable to cook or eat. The amount of bugs in this release is frustratingly stupid and I really can't believe that the game is in a state worse than what you'd get from CD releases or the Ultimate Edition.

I relate with what you're saying :'( but the recent patch fixes really helps some of the bugs (not everything though). Still having a problem on sims won't load up while going to their home vacation. I hope EA fixes this since i cannot refund the bundle anymore lol

I already foresaw me putting in a lot of hours into this game in spite of some hiccups. I just did not think the nature of the bugs would get this bad.

The stairs thing is getting so bad because I have sims pathing in weird ways or becoming unable to access parts of their home until I laboriously go through the process of deleting every single step of a stair just to place it down again.

I don't think I can keep playing this game in particular anymore just because it's such an exhausting issue to deal with ON TOP OF the continued crash to desktop issues which makes this all the more worse.

This doesn't seem to work on public lots as they just reappear after you send your sim home.

Modular stairs are super broken, worst bug I've encountered personally.

I had this issue when building a house on a lot. Had to use the mod Stuck Object Remover after moving a Sim into the lot.

I had the same issue, couldn't delete a set of stairs I had attached to a raised platform. (I have not tried testingcheatsenabled yet though)

Omg im literally having the same issue too and I’ve been searching all over to find a solution but I still got nothing😭

I FIXED IT. But it required a mod and cheats. Add this to the "Downloads" folder in your my documents/ea games/sims 2 legacy.

Start the game, tell it yes to Custom Content (CC) then load and close. Re-open and the tool should be in "buy mode>misc>misc" its a yellow crate nuke.


Put that below, or on top of the stair and all around and it will fix and delete any stuck, broken or invisible bs. JUST got done fixing up my house using this method because it was beyond broken.

so with this mod and the cheat "moveObjects on" i was able to get it all solved and happily playing the game again.


the mod is here(objectremover), and the cheat "moveObjects on" (you have to do "boolProp testingcheatsenabled true" first)

be sure to turn off the moveobjects when you are done fixing because that allows you to put anything anywhere , including out of bounds and clipped into other objects where they are not supposed to be. You can use it to force normal stairs to where you want however lol
