Reversed sweeping staircase in stone - did I dream it up?
Alright, so I'm in the mood for some TS1 again, and while I've been hunting down some useful downloads, I can't seem to find any trace of the sweeping staircase in gray stone, 12 Steps in Stone (might be from DD or SS? It's part of the acting set in SS) reversed/mirrored. I know there's the Makin' Magic rustic one in stucco and wood which is the only one I can find, but I could've sworn that there was a mirrored version of the stone staircase somewhere, either as an official download from Maxis or player-made custom content.
If there's anybody who have answers, it would be much appreciated as this is going to keep me up at night!

Unfortunately that's the same tuscan MM staircase I keep finding everywhere, quite the misleading name!

You can find 12 Steps in Stone -- both regular and reversed at https://simarchive.wordpress.com/th...cial-downloads/

It looks like this:

That is indeed the staircase available for download as it is on SimEchoes, but the reversed one is, despite its name, the Makin' Magic sweeping stairs reversed. It's likely that it was just this staircase which had a mirrored version, but it definitely feels like there should be one for the stone aswell!

In the middle is the downloaded sweeping staircase reversed, with the Makin' Magic stairs to the left and the actual 12 Steps in Stone stairs to the right:

Well, you could recolor the reversed stairs to match the ones you want. Since there are eleven sets of sprites, it would take awhile, but if you want it that badly, it's doable.

...I know for a FACT I've seen this before.

I wonder if I can dredge up decade-old knowledge and find WHERE.

Never attempted creating stuff for TS1, but that's an option I could consider if there truly is no file available for it out there.
Also, thank you for your TS1 mods! They're appreciated :D

SO YOU MEAN I'M NOT CRAZY AFTER ALL!? Goodness gracious, just that confirmation alone is enough for me, but if you ever happen to find out if it exists somewhere that'd be really neat!

...Huh. I'd be willing to bet that's where I remember it from, based on some of the other stairs I recognize but don't have in my own game that are in that zip. XP

Perhaps you accidentally misfiled it; I have done that many times! I also seem to "lose" files that I KNOW I had. Glad you have it back now

I know for a fact I never had it in the first place! I just don't really download stairs. But back in the day I'd browse every file on some websites, like I was window shopping at the mall. XD I'm saying I recognize the stairs from probably doing that "window shopping" thing back then. o.o (I'd even have checked Internet Archive to confirm but it's been offline for days now. )

Oh, seems like I misunderstood you. Sorry about that.
