Maxis Modular Stairs Passage Fix
LD_StairModularPassageFix_01.jpg - width=435 height=435
LD_StairModularPassageFix_02.jpg - width=350 height=320

This mod enables Sims to pass directly through under all Maxis modular stairs, just like base game Holy Smoke stairs.
Even without this mod, most objects are usable when you force them under the modular stairs with moveobjects cheat on. But there are some exceptions like bookcases. Without this mod, Sims will complain route blockage when they're trying to reach bookcases placed under the modular stairs.
With this mod installed, you can place 1-tiled objects on the "bridge" tile (the one where Sims walk through) without moveobjects cheat on. (See the screenshot below.) Sims can freely use objects placed on the "bridge" tile. Especially useful for bookcases.

Existing modular stairs need to be deleted and replaced to pick up the change.
Only for modular stairs. Will not work on staircases.
Choose only one version, depending on your preference.
- LdDarcy_StairModularPassageFix_All: For all Maxis modular stairs, even the ones with supports under the stairs.
- LdDarcy_StairModularPassageFix_NoSupportsOnly: Only for 3 Atomic modular stairs from Pets, which have no supports under the stairs.
Installation:

About Me
I have my own section at MATY now. Visit DarcyLand for some more goodies that are not available in MTS2.
Check this MATY thread for AL compatibility of my hacks. All my mods are now confirmed to be compatible with AL, or updated to AL.
Recently I'm getting a lot of PMs asking how to update various custom objects like fridges or computers up to FreeTime.
I wrote a tutorial for updating custom fridges and computers to FreeTime. For other types of objects, go read this MATY thread where a lot of information is gathered. A similar thread for AL is here.
==============================================================================
Basically, you can do whatever you want with my creations, as long as they stay free. You can upload them to other free sites, include them in lots or Sims, modify them if you want.
Please make a link back to my original MTS2 threads, in case I update my past creations. If you're reuploading my mods to other sites, please keep them up to date. Check my MTS2 journal for updates of past creations..
My only 2 restrictions are:
- Do NOT upload them to PAY sites (including TSR) and Exchange.
- Don't claim them as your own.
