Creative Tip: How to make a functioning staircase

I made a staircase with railing in the cyrodilic jungle house:

The stairs are "rough platform, stage" (white blueprint). The rail is "common post, sign holder" (green blueprint).

The best part is it actually looks and functions as a staircase. No jumping or hopping required.

    I helped a buddy add some steps to his pond thingy because he sucks at jumping and people keep dueling him and jumping in there haha..

    But this looks amazing.

    I highly recommend Homestead OCD.
    This nifty addon is a god-send for manipulating items exact location and orientation.

    I use the above addon and can show you the staircase I made. I knew the stairs but not the railing

    That looks awesome! What did you use to make that loft though? It looks way better than planks.

    Paintings with the style "bolted" in the name. They have a lovely dark wood backside. On xbox NA they sell in the traders for 500-1000k each. I used 4 total.

    These are the most common bolted ones I find:

    Painting of Autumn, bolted.
    Painting of Winter, bolted.
    Painting of Bridge, bolted.

    Can you walk up the paintings or do you have to jump on each one? They seem so thin so I can't imagine you would stack them.

    @FloppyTouch I think you misunderstood. The paintings were used to create a floor for the loft, while the actual staircase was created by "rough platform, stage". The staircase will be usable without jumping.

    This is very good, thanks for sharing.
    However, we really shouldn't have to using so many items from our very limited housing limits to make something as basic as stairs/steps. C'mon ZOS, when are you going to give us stairs?!!? There must be dozens of different resources already available in game
    All my housing builds are available on YouTube

    I am happy to share the EHT save files for most of my builds.

    A plank bought in cyrodiil does the same thing and it is only 1 item ;)

    What isn't fun is perfectly aligning those on PS4 without add ons. The number of items it adds up to is a drawback as well as placement - I had to make my stairs to the loft in Autumns Gate in the middle of the floor because you hit your head on invisible side walls near the top.

    Orcish Bar makes a good floor/wall that looks structurally sound too.

    Good Work!

    I love own creations. I have built my own house ( https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/de/discussion/363982/gebt-uns-ein-leeres-grundschtueck#latest). But is not yet finished. 700 items are not enough. We need more.
