    This only happens to me if I go into build mode while a sim is using the stairs - they will fall through into the gap below. If that's what happened to you, then try not to go into build mode until all sims have finished using stairs.

    To get the toddler out, remove the wall temporarily or use the testingcheats on mode, and teleport the toddler out by shift-clicking on the ground and choosing "teleport here".

@k3llybean  I suggest making an additional space at the landing of the stairs to prevent this from happening. I also routinely delete the side walls that come with the stairs. That leaves more space and saves money.

I have also experienced what @simvasion posted.

Work around have the stuck sim leave lot by zooming out until you get a car icon not pick a new lot load lot sim appears there, now take sim back home.
