The houses in the pictures are called "One and a half story" houses, meaning that the lower floor has a full height wall but the second floor is only half a wall. The issue is that sims don't squat or bend over to duct under a low ceiling. The area of the ceiling and floor must align in order for a sim to walk to the outside edge of the room.
The lower edge of any roof must always align with the ceiling of the room below. It can not (as of now) start halfway up a wall as in those pictures. I wish they could. There are many builds I would love to make. But, there would also be the problem of the second floor windows. They need a full wall to attach to.
But isn't this a little more specific than a 1 1/2 story? On this website (http://activerain.com/blogsview/1422260/so-what-is-it--two-story-or-one-and-one-half-) it says: "If the home has dormers, or gable ends that include windows, than by defenition it is a 1-1/2 story. In other words, there is a loft area, or living space between the ceiling of the first story and the roofline." Isn't this description just a full attic room? Idk maybe I'm wrong. I'm Dutch and I couldn't find any Dutch or English naming of what I was talking about in the OP.
And look at the video I linked. I actually managed to do it in the game. It's not perfect, but it's something else for a start.
