Can't enter pool & can't place a pool ladder bug

I have tried to build a roof pool, and for the life of me I can not add the final finishing touch; the ladder! This wouldn't be a big deal if my Sim could get in the pool with out a ladder, but he simply can not. There is absolutely no reason for why he should not be able to enter the pool. When I try to add a pool ladder It says "insignificant wall height for placement". I have tried every single possible fix I could think of; I've tried all the different wall sizes & pool depths, I have tried placing the ladder against a solid wall and not where I've put windows, I've tried to go to the second floor and put the ladder, and/or stairs and I have tried removing all fencing around the floor with the pool.  I Do not have any cc or mods. At first I tried to build the pool on the 3rd level, and so I thought that maybe you couldn't have a 3rd level, so then I removed it and tried building one on the 2nd level, but it still says the same thing. This is driving me crazy because each time I've built the pools I've had to do major reconstruction of the house! I have posted my issues in the Sims forms and have had multiple replies with suggestions on what the problem might be, and I have exhausted all possibility's.

 I have uploded my house, so feel free to check out the problem yourself. Nobody yet has been able to find a solution, so if you can fix it that would be amazing. My OrginID is haley623 and the problem house is called Affluista mansion.

  • Does it work if you build it on the first floor ? Sims SHOULD be able to get in without a ladder just fine (they just jump in) so it seems there's something more going on.

    Did you try starting a new game for testing purposes and/or try another house to see if it's limited to this one ?

  • Yes, I have tried everything, and there is literally no reason why this should be a problem. I have uploaded my home so people could see for themselves that there is nothing you can do to fix this problem. You are more than welcome to download this home and check it out also. My orginID is haley623 and the  house is called Affluista mansion. I did build a pool on the 1st floor and was able to place a ladder and could get in and out with out a ladder. But this is still  a major problem with my roof pool, and no one has been able to fix it.

    I will give it a try (not sure if it will be today though cause I'm pretty busy)

  • I really wish we could figure out the problem. This whole thing has really bummed me out and I haven't even wanted to play because of it.

    Sorry, I totally forgot about this.

    I assume you patched and it's still not working ?

  • delete the pool then add the ladder.

    p.s. i know i'm super late but i figured other people may have the same issue. i had the same problem while testing cheats were enabled as well as some "third party resources" so did this and it was fixed.

    I was able to add the ladder once other things were fixed, The build as you uploaded didn't have access to the roof so I had to create a new stairway up to the roof. Once I did that it added with no problem, I also lowered the walls to the minimum height so the stairs wouldn't look so odd, but that was purely aesthetics, and didn't effect the ladder placement.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Sims 4 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
