There seems to be a bug concerning the height of foundations and basements: They are slightly off, apparently making it impossible to build stairs between.
What you can is the following: First, create a staircase to the basement outside the house (may need a few tries, and may need to be several squares away from the house). You should notice that the ground at the top of the stairs is a little lower than the surrounding ground. This is the height the ground needs to be where you want to place your actual stairs.
So use the cheat
Code:
constrainfloorelevation false
and level the terrain you want the actual stairs to go (under the foundation) to the height of the terrain at the top of the outside stairs. Then use
Code:
constrainfloorelevation true
.
Now you should be able to place the stairs within the foundation (for some reason it doesn't work in every position for me, so you may need find where it allows you to position the stairs).
You will need to use the
constrainfloorelevation false cheat again to level the foundation of your house again to its normal height, but then everything should be fine.
